From the reviews
Before World Class Boxing Gym, I was a brawler with a dream and unlimited grit—but no GPS. Then came Tommy,, and world Class Tom was a wizards with those pads who took my raw ambition and sculpted it into pure skill. Tommy didn’t just sharpen my jab—he rewired my entire approach.
Tom Yankello’s boxing videos are great for teaching the fundamentals of boxing. I have really enjoyed watching and learning from someone who is so passionate about boxing and teaching it right! Recommend 100% to new and seasoned veteran boxers to learn something new.
The absolute BEST Boxing Trainer I've ever seen. Details and explains every little thing to a T and knows exactly how to fix even the slightest problem in somebody's boxing game.
I had an incredible experience with the private boxing session. From the start, the atmosphere was focused, encouraging, and tailored exactly to my level. Tom was knowledgeable, professional, and took time to break down technique in a way that was both challenging and accessible.
New to kickboxing? Start at Tom Yankello’s World Class Boxing Gym
Tom Yankello’s World Class Boxing Gym 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 Tom Yankello’s World Class Boxing Gym
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.
