I was a member at The Pound until it was time for my knee replacements.I'm a 67 yr old retired USA Master's Boxer, personal trainer, and coach.I loved going to The Pound because I could train and do my own thing without being bothered by anybody.I've watched the trainers and even took some sessions with Duane along with a couple of classes. You can pretty much be at any level, and it's a great gym and atmosphere.Watching Duane MANY times with clients would NEVER yell or belittle anybody! I have a ton of experience with clients of all types. Being semi retired, trust me that I know how to work with people of ALL types. From disabled to athletic competitive athletes.Duane is a very good trainer and is patient with his members/clients.AND when I recover from knee replacements:"I'LL BE BACK"

A mutual friend directed me to Coach D at The Pound Gym. I have really loved the morning boot camp class! Each workout is different and he pushes you to grow while making it a fun atmosphere! He is fantastic, and a great coach! I highly recommend giving it a try!

I spend most of my time on the East Coast and go to an outstanding boxing gym there. I have been searching for a similar high-caliber boxing gym in Scottsdale, where we spend about 1/4 of our year. Unfortunately, the vast majority of boxing gyms here focus on "boxercise," which, if that's what you're looking for, is great. However, I like to focus on boxing technique and improve my overall boxing capabilities. I found that The Pound is the only place in this area that fits that bill. Duane is knowledgeable and experienced, and like my gym back home, spends time on technique as well as getting a great workout. My philosophy is why not learn proper technique as well as get a great workout. I highly recommend The Pound.

Never boxed before other than hitting a bag for fun with no idea what I was doing. Joined The Pound roughly 4 months ago and it's been wonderful. They are big on fundamentals and do all sorts of drills.

Best coach in town, knows not only the fundamentals of boxing, but how the body should move for greater efficiency! Highly recommend Duane and the pound gym!!
