Rustam's Boxing Gym

Rustam's Boxing Club offers boxing training for all ages, from semi-private group classes that blend cardio, strength work and boxing technique to one-on-one personal coaching. Head coach Olem Umarov has been coaching for 15 years and leads the classes, which are intense and aimed at fitness as well as learning the sport.

Group classes run on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings and early afternoons, with contact training optional. Personal sessions are booked by phone or email, and sessions can be scheduled up to 30 calendar days ahead. The club is at Jefferson Boulevard on Staten Island, and newcomers should bring boxing gloves, hand wraps, clean gym shoes and possibly a jump rope.
