Central Park Boxing | Upper West Side Personal Trainer - New York, New York

Chris Weldon

I began training with Leslie in late August, overweight and aged 50. I opted for a combo package that includes boxing and physical training. After just two months, I've lost 13 pounds, and I feel more agile and mentally sharp than I have in years.

Leslie's approach is exceptional; he combines encouragement, expertise, and a challenging workout regimen that keeps me engaged. Each session is tailored to my needs, pushing me to exceed my limits while ensuring I enjoy the process. The atmosphere at the gym is supportive and motivating, making every visit something to look forward to.

If you're considering a fitness journey or want to improve your boxing skills, I highly recommend training with Leslie. His dedication to his clients' success is evident, and the results speak for themselves!

Excellent boxing gym with great coaches and vibes - for people who want a good workout with good guidance! I was ‘hooked’ after my trial session, realizing that Leslie was a caring coach who genuinely wants to see you improve your technique and strength, and isn’t afraid to push you to your limits. His coaching has helped me tremendously. The gym is a happy place for me — I always look forward to the next workout, and the team at Central Park Boxing always welcomes me with a smile and great music!

Started working with Leslie five months ago and without changing much else, I gradually lost weight and gained muscle! I mentioned to Leslie that I also wanted to improve as a runner. In the last few months, Leslie incorporated running and strength into my boxing routine. He’s helped me build endurance as I can now run faster and longer distances. Everyone at the gym is so encouraging and motivating. Highly recommend!

I’ve taken 20 one-on-one boxing lessons with Leslie and his team. I always leave feeling energized and accomplished. Truly one of the most amazing and gratifying workouts out there. The instructors are really good teachers and will push you to be better and exceed your own expectations. Highly recommend!

I've been training here for a year and a half and LOVE IT. Ameer and Leslie are great coaches that know the craft impeccably well and know how to push you just enough without being either too intense or too lax. They cultivate a good atmosphere for people of all types and skill levels.

Coach helps you work on the minute mistakes you are making with a proper focus on technique and footwork. The sessions are taxing and fun, very rewarding. Recommend this to anyone who wants to learn boxing or just have fun while getting fitter.

Leslie, with help from Ameer, has created a warm and welcoming environment for all skill levels. You can focus on just boxing skills, or work on both boxing and overall fitness. His personalized approach means that you not only see results, but that you can apply what you do out of the gym as well. Have fun, get fit- you can’t lose!

Middle-age man just had a kid, looking to shed some new dad weight. On my own, I had been struggling for a while and I decided to give this gym a try.

I am so thankful I found this gym/team. With limited time and a busy work/home life, it’s been hard to get back into a regular routine, but Leslie helped work with my schedule to find a sustainable plan.

I played a lot of sports growing up, but never any combat sports. I tried boxing briefly a few years ago, but I wasn't too serious and I thought it wasn’t for me. But this time around, working with this team, has made a world of difference. I’m already down 15 pounds in just 2 months, and I’ve had so much fun along the way. I’m not just getting in better shape, but I’m able to better focus more when I’m working out and I’ve started to plan my exercise routines/week around Boxing and keeping on schedule.

I couldn’t recommend this team more highly. My wife, who never lifted weights is now joining and has loved it so far as well. It’s a great atmosphere, very motivating, and it works.
