PACIFIC COAST BOXING
GET HEALTHY   GET IN SHAPE   GET STRONG

"My goal is to help you with your goal. I help women and men who are shy, possibly obese, opposed to crowded gyms and make them feel and become fit, healthy and happier people; to bring them into an environment without intimidation or judgment placed on them due to size, condition or age.  I will make you realize you are empowered."


My passion for boxing has created this 2400 sq ft gym located on the coastal shores of Monterey Bay.  Providing the ultimate in training and conditioning  for boxing/kick boxing from novice to the experienced and anything in between.  .

As of May 17th Jason Ragan has now lost 59 lbs, down to 270 lbs!  This video shows the work and effort into his weight loss.  This is typical workout for the week and tops it off with a 1 1/2 hour workout bootcamp on Saturday.  Great work Jay!  Only 20 lbs to go and you have reached your goal of 250 lbs and Ruth and Jack are glad to be a part of it.
