Coach Q is the best, highly recommend his personal training for any level of experience in boxing.

Vintage boxing staff/coaching and facility as a whole is also top notch!

I was originally going to update my review after a year of being at Vintage Boxing gym to really give people an idea of what you can accomplish here, but I figure 7-8 months is good enough. I’m leaving my original review after my first day here for people who are wondering about getting into boxing, but I want to showcase the potential development the coaching at this gym is capable of giving you in a short amount of time.

I walked into this gym about 7-8 months ago at 250lbs, never been in a fight before, 0 boxing experience, unhealthy, terrible diet, no clue what I was doing. In 7 months at this gym, I’ve lost 50lbs, made an entirely new friend group, gained a level of athleticism I didn’t even have when playing football, can spar multiple rounds with competitive fighters, can get knocked down and get back up with a smile, constantly am testing the extents of what my body is capable of.

In just 7 months this gym changed me from an extremely overweight, unhealthy dude who’d trip over his own feet, to a fighter standing in a ring in front of over 100+ people. If you just want to lose weight and get in amazing shape… this is the place, if you want to learn how to defend yourself… this is the place, if you want to learn how to box competitively… this is the place.

Vintage Boxing can, and will, change your life if you let it. Coach Eric and Liz created one of the best businesses in Richmond, and if you really want to change your life, this place will do it.

Original review February 2025:

So I’ve been in weightlifting gyms all my life for sports, football/baseball/ wrestling, you name it.

This was the first time I’ve ever stepped foot into a boxing gym, and I was fairly nervous because my unfamiliarity with the sport, techniques, environment, etiquette. To say this place put all those nerves at ease instantaneously would be an understatement. I met Josh who signed me up the previous day, I made sure he knew I was an idiot to the sport and had no clue what I was doing. While I was stumbling over my words of why I wanted to join this gym, he quickly and tactfully managed to make me feel like I belonged there.

This feeling of belonging and community continued into the next day where I had my first training session with Eric. Everyone (and I mean absolutely everyone in the gym) was welcoming, social, and made you feel like you’re making the right choice. My entire athletic career in football (I played for 11 years) I never had this feeling when walking into a new athletic facility with new faces, teammates, or coaches, for the first time.

If you’re on the edge of wanting to join something like this, and what I described above is what is worrying you… this gym is the place for you to go. For me this was a wonderful first day, and I’m hoping to get better each time I go. The hardest part was genuinely making the decision to do it, and this gym, the staff, and the gym goers make it feel easy.

Very nice boxing gym. I am from out of town so I dropped in for 3 boxing classes to get some work in. They were all great. Coaching was very solid — tactful but direct. Facilities were great. People were very nice. Highly recommend, especially if you are a boxer and looking to drop in from out of town.

Vintage boxing is such an incredible gym. I recently moved to Richmond and was nervous to join a new gym but everyone has welcomed me with open arms & has made me feel so at home. This gym has such a cool old school feel & everyone is always pushing themselves to their maximum. At the same time, the coaches all value teaching strong technique and prioritizing their boxers’ safety. I could not recommend this gym enough there is a place for someone at any level! Also shoutout to Carmen!!! It has been amazing to have such a badass woman to look up to in the gym! 💪

We had a great experience with Marcus at Vintage Gym in Richmond. He guided us through an introductory boxing class and was both patient and knowledgeable. Marcus took the time to make sure my husband and I had our positioning right, which really helped us feel confident. We were so impressed that we even signed our boys up to join—making it a fun family affair. Excited to see where this journey takes us!

Response from the owner 21:50 21 Aug 25

We look forward to supporting your family’s boxing journey and can’t wait to see how you all progress together!

Since Vintage is the closest boxing gym to my home, I decided to sign up for the gym tour to find out more. Coach Eric and staff were super friendly. I liked the answers to the questions I had so I enrolled in the Intro to Boxing class. Day 1 was taught by Coach Marcus. He taught things that I hadn’t heard in watching tens and tens of boxing tutorials on youtube. He also took the time to give individual instruction to each student (there were 3 of us) pointing out what we were doing wrong and how to correct it. That alone was worth the price of admission. Thank you, Coach Marcus! It’s been a great experience so far. The only thing that would have made it better was if the Vintage Boxing Gym tank top was in stock:) I thought I would visit all the gyms and then decide, but it’s nice when I find something I like on the first try. Bravo, Coach Eric on building such a fine establishment!

Response from the owner 02:31 14 Aug 25

Thank you for your wonderful review, David! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience during your gym tour and in your Intro to Boxing class with Coach Marcus. Your feedback on the individual instruction highlights our commitment to personalized training. We appreciate your support and will definitely look into restocking the Vintage Boxing Gym tank tops. We look forward to seeing your continued progress in the gym!

I’ve been part of the Vintage for about two years, and my experience has been nothing but positive. The trainers are committed, supportive, and push you to be your best. Whether I needed guidance, motivation, or encouragement, they’ve always been there. Shoutout to Eric, Carmen (The Momba), Wyatt, Marcus, and Andrew—each of you has helped me grow in this journey.

One of the most meaningful moments for me was bringing my daughter to the all-females class. Carmen showed incredible patience and care during her first training session, helping her feel welcomed and confident. That meant a lot.

The atmosphere at Vintage is unmatched. Everyone—from the trainers to the members—comes in ready to work and improve. It’s a community that supports each other and values progress.

If you’re looking for a place to grow, train hard, and feel truly supported, Vintage is the place.

Response from the owner 19:00 28 Jul 25

My dad is a frequent boxer at Vintage and I’ve attended boxer beginner friendly classes before. The atmosphere of this boxing gym is like no other. The people there are so friendly and welcoming. They’re also incredibly patient with beginners (such as myself). Vintage is not only a boxing gym, it’s a place where people come together to improve physically and mentally.
