From the reviews
I’ve been attending PCB off and on for years now. It’s a great place. Feels safe 🏳️🌈 friendly 🏳️⚧️ and welcoming of all skill levels and walks of life. A very clean and well organized establishment. The mobile app is an added plus for scheduling classes. I’ve studied a variety of martial arts for years now.
Portland City Boxing so far has been the best fitness experience I have had in my entire life, and I have attended many gyms and tried multiple sports in different cities and countries. I walked in there not knowing a single thing about boxing with just an idea that I should try it out.
I highly recommend Portland City Boxing! Been going 2-3x/week for about 6 months. Super nice staff, low key, great group exercise classes (not just boxing). Suitable for all ages/abilities. Nice sized gym where the trainers know your name!
I’ve been training at Portland City Boxing for the past three years, and it’s been an incredible journey. This gym has it all—top-notch classes, a welcoming and inclusive environment, and amazing coaches. They also offer a wide variety of classes.
New to kickboxing? Start at Portland City Boxing
Portland City Boxing comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Portland City Boxing
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
