Hi when I first came to UVA despite having a combat room I realized there aren’t really clubs or any local boxing gyms to train at. I’ve seen a lot of other posts on here asking about boxing as well.

Last year I found a local personal boxing coach and he told me he’s looking to take on more clients so I figured I’d make a post about it here.

His name is Jesse Washington, he’s been coaching for 20 years I believe. Super super nice and chill guy.

He recently moved here to Charlottesville from NY. He does sessions either in his home gym in his garage (bout a 10 minute drive) or at any public park or area.

For pricing, as for any tutoring service it can be expensive for some. In NY he would charge 125 per session, but since I’m a student and I go often he only charges me 60. Usually our sessions are 60-75 minutes long.

But again he’s really flexible and chill. If I want I can just pull up and use his garage to hit or for a quick 20 minute session for free if he’s available. I ask random him questions and stuff all the time and he doesn’t mind. He genuinely loves the sport and teaching. He has his own gear as well so no need to worry about that if you don’t have your own.

So yeah if you’re looking for a boxing coach either to train or even if it’s just for fitness - beginner or not, Jesse is awesome.

If interested dm me, I can give you his number or you can give me your number and I’ll connect you with him either way works.
