TITLE Boxing Club Oakland Central

I love boxing and the people of Title Boxing Oakland, even though I do NOT love working out. From day 1, when I first started going to Title Boxing Oakland, I felt like this boxing gym made boxing fun, accessible for a wide variety of people with different levels of physical fitness and experience, and worth the time and investment in showing up. At the end of every class, I'm drenched in sweat, energized, and think, "Oh man I did it. That was great." There is street/metered parking around the gym, but it can get busy during the day when businesses are open as the gym is in the middle of downtown Oakland. There are lockers where you can leave your stuff, and everything feels clean and accommodating. Highly recommend for the great all-body workout, staff, community, and camaraderie.

Energy, vitality, encouragement and excellent technique from Byron and the other instructors I’ve met at Title to write a (hopefully) helpful review so that quality folks—willing to show up and be their best—come to Title. Title is no frills and all glorious bag exercise while pinches and punches of form and correction are imbibed in each class. My favorite thing is the top screen guiding you through each round—today’s 45 (45 minute class) was just enough to get some quality punches in, to adequately warm up, to practice combos, and to literally “take it out on the bag and leave it behind” vibes. For someone recovering from injury and in need of a slow-come back into combatives like myself, this was the class for me. At Title, it’s no fuss. There are simple free weights, wipes, mirrors, bathrooms, some concessions for water and white towels so it’s a focus feeling going in. Bring Mexican boxing tape—it’s the fabric kind. I’m buying another pair of gloves since my 16 oz gloves are too unwieldy for bag exercises. I’m going to get 14 oz at SuperRare. But Title makes gear! Ask questions because the staff know their product. The bag positions are indicated by number and you sign up online. The owner onboarded me to the app which was helpful in getting the ball rolling. Parking capacity in the area is usually at 80 to 90% occupied so if you’re local, walk here. All you have to do if coming from the lake is walk up to the Cathedral and get on the side street on 22nd and you’re there. From the museum, it’s a 28 minute walk and worth the steps—enjoy.

Amazing class! Coach Galia is the best. What an amazing way to get introduced to boxing from a legit coach and get a killer work out in too!

I am new to boxing and the east bay area. I Google and found title gym and a few others. However, I made the right choice,choosing title. Everyone in the class makes you feel so welcome, they encourage and support each other. Shout out Chris and Adina !!. The front desk ladies all welcomes you with a 😃. All the trainers are very helpful and patient. Big up to my new long lost Ghanaian 🇬🇭 brother Kofi, even when you are tired, don't feel like you can do anymore his energy and excitement, pleasant disposition, you just find yourself going, going....I love it ❣️

I've been going to Title for about 6 months. The facilities are clean and feel new. Staff are friendly and the owner is almost always available and welcoming. I normally take Gilbert Jackson's Saturday morning 830am 45 min class or 10:00am 1 hour class. He brings amazing energy and positivity...and decades of experience. Everybody at the class is having a great time and working really hard and super positive...everybody is happy and excited to be there.
