Gym

Pilger's Old Skool Boxing & Fitness Academy teaches boxing alongside strength and conditioning work, serving everyone from fitness-minded beginners to competitive amateur and pro fighters. The gym offers youth, amateur and professional boxing training, weight training programs, fitness bootcamps and a boot camp designed for women that pairs workouts with nutrition guidance. Coaches build training around each person's skill level and readiness, and no one steps into the ring until they have shown they are ready.

Training is available one-on-one with a trainer or in group classes, and the gym has heavy bags, speed bags, free weights and resistance machines. Non-contact fitness workouts are an option for people who are not interested in sparring. The gym is at 664 B North Hague Ave. in Columbus, and the listing notes a first session can be scheduled by phone or through the website contact form.
