Boxing builds discipline, structure and toughness. Your success comes from your own effort.

That is the whole philosophy of King James Boxing and Fitness. King James McMillan has coached kids and adults in Winooski for more than a decade, and he built this gym so anyone willing to work can learn to box properly: under hexagon lights, around a full ring, on rows of KING heavy bags, with coaches who know your name.

You do not need to be fit to start. You need to show up. We take care of the rest, one round at a time.

  • Real boxing, taught from the stance up
  • Kids 5 to 12 in their own classes
  • Women-only boxing and bootcamp
  • Conditioning that never gets boring

Meet King James

Hard work
beats
talent.

It hangs on our wall, and it is the deal we make with every member. Nobody walks in a natural. Everyone walks in with something to prove to themselves.

Show up, put in the rounds, and listen to your coach. The gloves, the technique and the confidence come with the work. That is how ordinary people in Winooski become unstoppable.

In their words.

Amazing Boxing 101 class! The coach was so patient and encouraging. It had been a long time since I boxed, but I felt great getting back into it. The atmosphere was welcoming, and I had a lot of fun. I 100% recommend this class!

Great people and a fun experience. I first showed up with zero experience to one of the Box N Burn classes and had a blast! Worked with one coach primarily but got to meet King and he is super nice and welcoming (everyone is)

My 14 year old daughter had her 1st day today and the owner James made her feel very comfortable, spent extra time with her teaching the basics. He's very knowledgeable and the facility is awesome. Definitely will be a regular!
