I’m a novice boxer who has recently started training through Tunney’s Boxing Academy. I already cannot believe the progress I have made both in general fitness and as a boxer after just a few weeks. Ben Aylesworth specifically is a great person and trainer who really seems to care about his clients. This has been a very very positive experience for me and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Ben is great. After 5 months, his classes have become the highlight of the week. He’s always mixing it up and great at coaching technique. He’s personable, tough, and rides you just enough to kick your butt every time. You couldn’t ask for a better instructor.

I meet with Ben twice a week and the difference is absolutely noticeable. An awesome coach.

Ben started kicking my ass about 3 months ago and its been awesome ever since. I started for the cardio and exercise but now I get excited every time to learn more about the sport. I feel like I could actually (maybe, potentially) dodge a real punch. Couldn’t ask for a better teacher, Ben is the man.

With an hour twice a week Ben has really gotten me in shape. He’s always challenging, always mixes things up but also perfectly adjusts for beginners. Go there now, he’s the best!

For a guy who squirms at the idea of exercise, I think I finally found my solution in Tunneys and Ben Aylesworth in particular! Ben was the perfect person to get my butt in shape, while teaching me how to take the reins myself when the time comes and all of it without stretching my comfort zone too much.
Ben was super informative, patient and motivating – so much so that I signed up for another 10 sessions and decided to up my game and get in even better shape! I highly recommend Ben and Tunneys if you are looking to become a better boxer, want to get in better shape or simply want to sweat some pounds away. AMAAAZING!

I have been to few boxing classes with various trainers and even though I thoroughly enjoyed them as a workout, I felt like I didn’t actually learn much about the intricacies of boxing. I started attending Ben’s class sometime last year and yes it started off like other classes with killer warm ups, followed by punching bags and mitts on individual basis. But where it got interesting is the light technical sparring session. He usually pairs beginners/​newbies with experienced individuals and teaches defense, not just the theory, but he actually gives us an opportunity to apply what we learned, it starts off with catch and shoot, slips, how to counter attack. Of course, all this in a controlled environment and I never once felt peer pressured to do these things I am not comfortable with, I just wanted to do it out of my own will and he always put safety first.
After 3 months of regular classes, I started something which I thought I would never have the ba**s to do. I got a headgear, mouth piece and started having proper sparring sessions with more experienced individuals and even amateur fighters. Ben usually stays for at least for half hour after his class ends and gives suggestion/​tips and what each person needs to work on.
I have also taken quite a few 1 – 1 training with him, this is where he gets nit-​picky about your footwork, shoulder rotation, slipping style and most importantly helps you to get relaxed at the ring.
Overall I have become a lot fitter, increased my stamina and most importantly gained self confidence.

If you are looking for a killer workout, great coaching, fine-​tuning, and a training session that you will actually look forward to, *this is it*. I recommend Ben to just about every athlete I know.
I’ve been a competitive and elite swimmer/​athlete for about 17 years now — I swam and coached at a Division I College, run competitively, and dip my toes in just about any sport I come across. Coming out of my collegiate athletic career, I was pretty sure that I would never find a workout that would challenge or motivate me as much as college athletics had.
It only took one workout with Ben to figure that I was wrong. Even though I was completely new to boxing, Ben pushed me through some of the hardest workouts I’ve ever done and helped me get leaner, stronger, and faster. Not to mention, gave me a killer cross and left hook.
Ben is an extremely motivational, positive, and experienced coach and knows how to push his students to be better every minute of every workout. Boxing sessions with Ben are always the highlight of my week.

I’m so grateful to have found Ben! Our sessions are the highlight of every single week. He is knowledgable, dedicated, the perfect combination of nice and merciless. I’m stronger, leaner, saner and much, much scarier since we began working together.
