# Ricky's Boxing Gym Description
Ricky's Boxing Gym is a private, friendly boxing facility located in Tilehurst, Reading, founded by Ricky O'Brien, a former professional boxer with over 20 years of experience. The gym caters to everyone from complete beginners to professional fighters, offering tailored training across all age groups and ability levels.
The business specialises in both boxing instruction and fitness coaching, with services ranging from one-to-one personal training to group classes. Whether you're a five-year-old stepping into the ring for the first time or a teenager seeking confidence-building exercise, Ricky's provides structured, supportive coaching. Adults can join beginners' classes, boxercise sessions for pure fitness, or advanced boxing training. For those serious about the sport, professional-level sessions are available.
What sets Ricky's apart is the combination of genuine expertise and approachable coaching. Ricky holds credentials as an ABA amateur coach and BBBOC professional seconds trainer, bringing legitimate professional knowledge. However, reviews consistently highlight his patience and ability to build confidence in nervous clients—particularly notable in testimonials from parents of anxious children. The gym also offers competitive incentives, including 50% off first sessions using code 'newbie', and maintains five-star reviews.
The intimate, private setting creates a non-intimidating environment, making it particularly appealing to those hesitant about traditional gym culture. Rather than generic fitness instruction, clients receive coaching rooted in authentic boxing knowledge delivered with genuine care for individual progress.
