Reviews of Champion Boxing Club (Gym)

Jono Details

It doesn't matter what your personal fitness challenges and goals are - whether you're getting into boxing just for fun or if you're competing, whether you are new or experienced - Coach John Melich and his boxing club will be there to guide and encourage you in every step. I've been training at Champion for the past 5 months and have learned a lot from John and his other students. His club is very welcoming and supportive. For those new to boxing, the group classes are a great introduction to the sport - you are introduced to proper techniques along with a great work out to get you into shape. His one-on-one lessons are tailored to your personal goals and definitely take the training to the next level! The training facility definitely gives you an old school Rocky vibe. When you first enter the club, you see the history and experience in all of the photos and people John has trained.

Great facility. Doesn't smell at all like other boxing gyms. People here are very serious about the sport.

????????????Before coming to Champion Boxing club, I've been to other gyms across the GTA. Nothing even compares!! Learning old school Boxing, the real deal! Been doing private training sessions and my physique/technique speaks for itself! John Melich is from the Old-school and if you really want to learn real Boxing, Champion Boxing club is the place to be. I found that John breaks down each element to every punch when he teaches and makes sure I understand with continual punching, head movement and especially his old school ways evolving me to a professional level. Whether it's weightloss, physique training, amateur champion or your next world champion! Dreams can come true!! ????????????

For quite sometime I really wanted to learn boxing, physically get in shape, and build my stamina/energy overall. I had met a few trainers before and never felt like I was genuinely being taught the craft properly until I met John Melich at Champion Boxing Club. He is a fantastic boxing and fitness trainer who is extremely encouraging, supportive, and trains you hard. I have asthma and was also dealing with a lot of anxiety when I first joined. Since I started training with John, my anxiety has reduced a whole lot and my asthma has improved so much. I feel amazing mentally and physically, so much stronger, and have so much energy and stamina throughout the day. If you really want to learn boxing, get in good shape, and feel better overall, then Champion Boxing Club is definitely the place to be at!

Had a great time at the gym. I joined his weightloss program and lost 40 pounds in 2 months. I reccomend trying his gym out :)

I've been training with Coach John Melich for the past four months and I have not only been through an amaaaazing physical transformation (13 lbs down woo woo) - but an emotional one as well (positive and focused AF). Every day of personal training is a new day where we train hard, work hard and laugh equally as hard. John's approach to boxing and life is based on his philosophy of having a strong mind as well as body which is so unique and special. I can't recommend Champion Boxing Club ENOUGHHHHHHH to anyone and everyone who is curious/interested in boxing but moreso really interested in being a part of a family where you feel supported, motivated and happy as you enter and leave the Club!!!

Phillip Attrell

I have been training there for the past 6 months and have really found John to be a knowledgeable and direct coach. He finds new ways to challenge you every week and is mindful of the different levels every athlete is at. A true boxing environment for people who actually want to learn the sport.

Gourave Verma

I've been taking private lessons for a little while now and John has already taught me so much about boxing. He taught me how to move effectively, throw punches and even started teaching me more advanced techniques like throwing a hook with proper form. John is the real deal. Every part of training helps make you a better boxer. Whether you are looking to be the next champion or wanting to improve your physique, John will get you to your goals in no time!

Computer Mech

Great place for hard training. There are good trainers. John the owner is a tough guy and good trainer.

Ed Holmes

Such a great workout and learning to defend myself at the same time. No need to feel intimidated here as the trainers make you feel welcome and comfortable. This club has an old school and nostalgic feel to it adding to its authenticity. Highly recommended if you are looking to lose weight, tone and strengthen you body or learning to defend yourself.

Shazeda Haniff

Champion boxing has an amazing atmosphere! Before leaving for school I was surprised to see the changes both physically and mentally that I went through in less than 4 months. The coach himself is kind and pushes you to be your very best. I left periodically as I was attending university in a different city, but I cannot wait to begin training at Champion Boxing Club again!

Isaiah Kapone

this gym is GREAT! Coach John Melich Jr makes everything easy, he is a ideal coach! I have only been going to the gym for less than 2 months and feel like I have improved my skills in no time, would 100% recommend for experienced or new boxers...

John Melich is one of the most recognized coaches in the province. He has constantly produced undefeated professional boxers at the provincial and national levels including several champions. John has a reputation for being a perfectionist but at the same time very understanding. His experience in teaching boxers is second to none. I have trained at several places but Champion Boxing Club is a place where you learn real, professional style boxing. John was very kind and played an integral part in helping me learn to be tougher mentally and made me a better business man in the process. Highly reccomended.

Marked Man

I've been training here for a year and I live 35 minutes away. It is the only club that teaches real old school boxing. Here you will learn how to box the right way without learning bad habits and techniques. Great for young fighters, professionals, and people who just want to get in shape.

Lucas Castro

Great place to be, friendly environment, great people and great boxers. If you wanna learn BOXING, come here. Coach John Jr is one of the greatest people I’ve ever met, and he’s not only a coach and teacher, but someone us boxers can aspire to be like out of the ring too.

Ali Amjid

I've been training with Coach John Melich for over a year now. Over the year I've taken numerous private 1 on 1 training classes as well as group classes prior to COVID-19. The 1 on 1 personal training with Coach John has helped me reduce body fat to single digit's, learn boxing fundamentals while simultaneously building strength. Coach tailors the workouts and personal training for each individuals needs based on their strengths and weaknesses. I would note that the sessions are intense and difficult. The first few sessions were difficult for me to get through but as time progressed I was able to fight through it with Coach's help. Overall I'd recommend Champion Boxing Club to anyone that's looking to learn self defense, get in shape, and build confidence. The facility has a ring, speed bags, aqua bags, heavy bags, stairs, and more equipment. I'd say the size and equipment tailored with Coach John make it one of the best boxing gyms around.

Dan Fran

You won't find a better boxing club in Ontario. Old school facility with everything you need to train your hardest. Coach John Melich will grind the foundations of boxing into any student with a willingness to learn!

Julian Loy Fitness

On top of Johns technical abilities he encompasses a lot of the mental side of the game. He teaches resilience, confidence and how to stand up for yourself. This is something the empowers youth and young adults. I struggled with bullying as a kid and was bullied up until my early 20s but just in a different form and this gym changed who I am forever.. Thank you John.

Viviana To

Bianca Simoes

I’d like to thank not only Julian Loy but John Melich for making the Champion Boxing Club feel like home. The members at the club make you feel welcomed and comfortable allowing everyone to train within a positive atmosphere. Many members can also say that they have had the privilege to train with a professional boxer in which is an amazing experience. The best part of training at the club is that whether you are a beginner or advanced boxer you aren’t seen as less than anyone else! Thank you again Julian and John for welcoming us with open arms.

Ashleyy Leiteee

Julian Roy is my trainer and i’d say he is a really good trainer that motivates you, challenges you and also builds up you confidence! He is really friendly and understanding. If you are looking for a good trainer, I would recommend you Julian Roy! :)

Champion Boxing Club is amazing. The owner and head trainer John is very professional and extremely knowledgeable. He trains pro boxers, Olympic boxers and beginners. The place is a gem and has great deals. It's honestly been the best training I've ever had.

Cool jym alot of positivity and good trainers that pushes you to your full potential

Dexter Gookool

John is an amazing coach. My wife and I have been training at champion boxing for about 6 months, and we love it there. The atmosphere is rough and tough like an old school boxing gym, but with the mindset of new school learning. When you walk in the gym it feels like you're training in the 80's. Coach John is a tough guy with the heart of gold, he will push you to break barriers physically, mentally and emotionally. On top of just being a boxing coach, John is also a great life coach. He is very well educated, and he truly cares about all of his students and takes great pride in his work. 10/10

amanpreet bhangu

John is very experienced and hard working trainer. I have taken up boxing along with weight loss. He keeps on motivating to go on and on. Its only been few classes but the results are already visible. Though he is tough, its all worth at the end.

Joanna Celli

I’ve had the best experience at Champion Boxing Club and I would never go anywhere else to train. John is very knowledgeable and passionate about boxing which makes him an amazing coach - it has been a privilege to train with him! Personal trainer Julian has been great at making me feel comfortable - his positivity and encouraging attitude has allowed me to get the results I want! For anyone looking to try our boxing or personal training, I highly recommend CBC!

Great atmosphere and great training

AI Ishmael

One of the last true boxing clubs left...all of the rest are too commercialized now...although things are changing with the advent of instagram...I had to give it a low rating because there are no good trainers there anymore, but it was once a great gym and I know it will be again.

Andre Ramdath

Great gym, especially for beginners. The coaches will guide you on anything you want to work on or teach you, if your willing to learn. There is no judgment no matter your level of skill from the coaches or the other members. Its a positive environment to train in. Would highly recommend for anyone that wants to learn of advance their boxing skills. Very glad I joined!

Whether you’re a pro, amateur or pursuing boxing just for fun, you’ll love the atmosphere here. Coach John melich is very experienced and has lot of knowledge with regards to boxing and fitness.

DeanStaysTHRSTY

I've been taking privates from John for a couple of months and I have improved so much. he's patient and has a great way of explaining the techniques and fundamentals of boxing. this place is the real deal and everyone wants to better themselves and has respect, no one is trying to act like Mr tough guy which makes it a great environment to learn.

Jessica Beane

Champions Boxing Gym is the best! I came here during travel for work and spent a few days here. The first day, John, the owner/trainer said he treats people like family and I saw that during my time there. If you are looking to be improve your boxing technique, whether you are pro or amateur, John is the guy. Great instruction/drills/coaching. If you are just looking to work out or get in shape, he will put you through a great workout. Everyone there was very friendly as well. I can’t wait to come back.

Aida Almeda

Champions boxing club is a place that anybody can feel comfortable to come and train. The train is a very tactical, safe and sound the most experience trainers around. My personal trainer and boxing coach Julian Loy is a very friendly, warm and motivating Trainer. John Melich opens up his gym and allows for us women to feel comfortable and not intimidated. If you are in the Brampton Area this is your one place to learn Boxing and get fit!

Carm Farruggio

Best decision I ever made! John Melich has the knowledge and experience like no other coach. Most importantly believes in all his tigers! Tough as nails pushes me when I need it the most. If your looking for professionalism John's the man to train with. Mickey should be his NAME!!!!! Thank you coach.moving

Aurey Cox

Champion boxing clubs owner and head coach John Melich is the real deal. He's been training champions since 1984 in the same location. The gym is full of history which is evident from all the pictures and posters of fighters from Champion over the years. Champion may not be as fancy as some newer gyms, but any boxer knows that's not important, and that it's the coaches and the members that make a gym great. If you're actually interested in the real thing, Champion's boxing club is a great choice!

sargon sifo

I've been going to this gym since October it's been awesome experience John is a great trainer I've lost weight and gotten in shape. Everyone at the gym are great real friendly and nice.

Braeden Heffernan

Last true boxing club around. If you want old school boxing, the right way, you need John Melich. Period.

rosalyn patton-pelt

Outstanding experience during my visits while on vacation! The atmosphere and coaching are encouraging and inspirational! Coach John Melich is awesome!

Cody Beebe

If you want to learn how to box, this is the place that you have to go to, hands down.

L scott (Scott)

The club has been around for years and there is a reason for that. The coach is great and the training that students receive at the club is incredible. You want to learn how to box, you train at Champion Boxing club. I would highly recommend this club to anyone, regardless of their experience.

Zsolt Daranyi

Champion boxing club is one of the most original and legit boxing clubs in the Mississauga Brampton area. John Melich has been a great help to me as I train and prepare for my professional matches. Being undefeated 13-0 (12KOs) and a 6 times National Champion I can say that Champion boxing club is the REAL deal. This is a place where you can train amongst the pros but still feel comfortable as a woman, child, or fitness enthusiast. I highly recommend it.

Chris Scrubb

Champion Boxing Club is no joke if you want to join a gym that means business this is the place to be. John.the coach takes the art of boxing to a level I've never seen and is truly dedicated to his craft. John's passion is making fighter a boxer an once you've become a complete boxer your champion.

evan jatou

There's a reason this place has been around since the 80's. Old school professional boxing club. If anyone is thinking of getting into boxing with dreams to go pro John is the man that will get you there. Best trainer and club in Ontario hands down. Check them out.

Hkaur Gill

This boxing club helped me become comfortable and confident. John and the rest of the club literally became like my second family. I achieved my goals and exceeded any expectations I had for myself. John is truly a godsend as he acts like a coach, mentor and friend! I can't wait to come back and beat the V - UP record!!

Alexander Rego

Great boxing club to train at. A very encouraging environment. I felt myself get better after just one boxing session with John. Julian is also an amazing personal trainer, very enthusiastic and will get you the results you want. Would highly recommend anyone to try out boxing or personal training at this gym!
