A Real Boxing Zone for Real Training
This is not a heavy bag tucked in a corner. Our Gurnee boxing area is built around a professional-grade PROX/RAX truss-mounted heavy bag rig, giving you the solid, stable foundation you need to train with power and purpose. We’ve equipped it with a selection of premium bags from leading combat sport brands including Venum, TITLE, and Revgear. This variety lets you work on different aspects of your game, from power development to speed and timing. For a unique feel and reduced joint impact, we also feature an aqua bag, filled with water to provide a dynamic, realistic target. The surrounding open floor space is cleared for combat conditioning, footwork drills, and technique work, making this a complete boxing and fight prep environment.
