Slick Sluggers Boxing is a home away from home. Coach Nic and the trainers/staff bring an always friendly environment to all and have their doors open for anybody looking to come in. I have been a member for about 2 years or so (with the exception of Covid-19 time frame) and look forward to continue my journey the multiple visits a week that I do. It’s a great place for boxing, exercising, meeting new people/friends and having a great time. I wish nothing but the best for Slick Sluggers Boxing, the employees and the customers.
Slick Sluggers is an awesome boxing gym. The staff is so friendly and helpful especially in comparison to other gyms I’ve been to. Their classes are challenging, rewarding, and really help you develop and harness your skill set. The coaches are attentive and go the extra mile to tweak anything you’re having difficulty with. Besides classes they also have open gym hours where you can use the bags, weights, or cardio equipment. Whether you’re brand new or experienced I’d highly recommend that anyone interested in boxing check them out.
10/10, this gym is everything and more. I come into work each day with happiness and excitement- both energies which greet me as soon as I walk in. I have the most incredible group of people that I get to call not only coworkers- but friends- that I get to spend my days with. I wouldn’t have it any other way and not even in my wildest of dreams could I have fathomed such a blissful reality for myself.Every coach is a mentor and friend to all. I’ve seen more smiles generated on our students’ faces all thanks to the hard work and dedication of our staff than I’ve seen over the span of numerous places combined. I come into work and leave each night feeling safe, supported, accomplished, and overall at peace. I wouldn’t have that if not for Coach Nic and each one of our coaches. I write this from a profoundly fortunate point of view, and I deeply encourage anyone who is considering boxing training whether for themselves, a loved one, or both, to call us to get started. You’re in the right place and will not regret it. The level of professionalism carried out by this gym is unmatched, and the level of genuine care that I witness each person give to others day in and day out rivals that of every business or institution I have ever been a part of. My heart is at peace each day knowing that I have a family of people who care for me in the way I care for them- which knows no bounds. We all share a unique and honest set of core ethos that I can confidently say we carry out to one another, every student, every inquirer, and truly anyone who comes our way. It is an honor to get to work and be alongside such a genuinely outstanding bunch of people, and to have them as friends is a gift that I’ll never take for granted.Thank you Coach Nic & everyone at Slick Sluggers for giving me a huge sense of belonging, all while mastering the craft and sport that is boxing- You each enrich my life deeply, and I see that reflected in how I witness every student in the gym treated each day. You are rare & valuable to so many hearts, lifestyles, & people. Thank you for welcoming me to be a part of such an important role in the lives of others- You all make my days bright & I’d do anything for each one of you!!
I love this gym! The vibes, energy, environment – all A1. Everyone is very friendly and motivating. The classes are fun and informative as well as the 1 on 1 sessions. This gym is a place for everyone. I’ve seen young lions going at it in the ring as well as middle aged moms doing burpees, you name it. Whether you’re an experienced individual looking to sharpen your skills or a beginner looking to pursue a healthy lifestyle, you cannot go wrong with Sick Sluggers Boxing.I’ve been training with Coach Jerimiah for about a month, and I have already learnt so much. His knowledge and experience are commendable, and his fighter’s mentality is inspiring – this guy is a beast!
I started training myself watching YouTube videos and it just wasn’t enough on my own. I was looking for a local boxing gym to go to and found Slick Sluggers. Been going to Slick Sluggers for a few months now, and look forward to train each week.Coach Jared is excellent, he has taught me everything from the basics and I’m continuing to learn each day at a great pace. All the other coaches and students are very helpful and gym has such a welcoming and friendly vibe.I would recommend Slick Sluggers boxing to anyone who wants to learn boxing, lose weight, learn to spar, etc.
One of the best boxing club in the big Apple .Is really nice for kids and adults to come and training in this club. There is a really good communication with the coachs, they are really prepare to teach you step-by-step. .In my behalf since the day I started training in here Im not just learn how to proof my self of what Im capable off I have find a new family in this place. No boxing no life . 👊🥊🥊🇬🇹🇬🇹 Im ready to go and make my dreams in this place .
Slick Sluggers is a great place for all levels of boxers. All the staff are super professional. Coach Jared was my coach and he did an amazing job of teaching me the basics of boxing. Coach Nic does a great job of coaching and making sure the gym is running well. I recommend Slick Sluggers to anybody who wants to box.
Coach Mario is the best! I walked into the gym knowing nothing about boxing and a little timid but Coach Mario was able to make me feel at ease because he was so positive, enthusiastic, supportive, knowledgeable, and patient. Everytime I left the gym, I felt a alittle bit stronger and empowered. If youre looking for a personal boxing Coach Mario is the man! The gym is always clean, they are always making improvements and adding new equipment. Great experience, it really is a great gym!
Been training with Coach Nic for about 2 years now and could not ask for anything more! Extremely knowledgeable in the sport of boxing and is very efficient at applying his knowledge in his training sessions. When I first started training at Slick Sluggers, like most, I was nervous. After a couple of weeks/months training, I couldn’t feel any more like family. Everyone is very amicable and just good people in general. Great group of staff members, in the gym and also outside of the gym. These are people i’m lucky enough to call friends now and share our love for boxing together whether it be watching sparring sessions, learning together, training together, or watching Boxing events over the weekends as a family. Would recommend to anybody who has an interest in Boxing, no matter the skill level. I’m sure you will feel welcomed and at home here at Slick Sluggers.
The best boxing gym i have ever been to. Such a welcoming environment. All of the coaches are respectful and Coach nic welcomes everyone with different back rounds and experience levels and works with you to improve your boxing skills.I have never been to a gym where everyone gets along so well. It really is a great place to get in shape, learn boxing and have fun with your friends!!!!
The best gym on earth and a second home. I was given the opportunity to better my life and was shown immediate respect and care from the coaches and everyone who trains here. I moved from Cali to LI this year and am 19. so my trust levels were extremely low after taking a shot across the country without my family. but I found immediate comfort and a sense of ease in growing as a human and as a fighter at Slick Sluggers. Its a place of honesty, growth, and chances, and an extremely trustworthy and wholesome environment
Man what can I say about this gym except I love coming here. I have been to gyms in the past but nothing like this before. From the first day I went with my dad to do a quick tour and get a feel of the space. I was greeted by coach Nick and coach Jeremiah who instantly made it feel like we were family. To my surprise the next week I went there after spending literally 10 mins in the gym I was greeted by name. The gym is clean, the staff is helpful and friendly and all patrons are like siblings. If you are looking for a gym to get started or in shape look no further than slick sluggers
I have been training with Coach Nic for about two and a half years after never having boxed before. I cant say enough good things about Slick Sluggers Boxing as a gym in general and Coach Nic specifically. The gym is well equipped and super clean. Coach Nic puts everything of himself into his business and cares about every little detail. I have met few people in life who are as passionate as Coach Nic is about his business. I have told him many times he was born to teach boxing. The other coaches (and the students I have encountered while working out there) have all been amazing. I think the best part about Slick Sluggers Boxing is the variety of people I have met and become friends with. There are beginners as well as advanced boxers, young, old, people looking just to get fit and have fun, people who are serious about training and sparring, and everyone blends in together perfectly. I have worked out at a lot of different gyms in my life and have never felt as comfortable as I do at Slick Sluggers Boxing.
Slick Sluggers boxing is a great place to workout and learn self-defense along with a great place to train and become a boxer.Coach Nic and his coaches are respectful, serious and funny people to train with. I enjoy the most training with them, they will adjust to the students pace to make them feel more comfortable. Some students like to train slow and some like to train fast, but they always push you pass your limit because they want to see you succeed and become something more.People that enter the gym are all respectful to each other, helping and are always there to encourage you to strive to greater heights.Im glad to be part of Slick Sluggers Boxing, its another great family to be part of.
To LOVE this boxing gym is an understatement. Whether you’ve never put a pair of gloves on or you’re on an advanced level, this is the best place to train. All of the coaches are so passionate about their job. They take their time with every client to ensure they perfect their technique and skill. I’ve been to another boxing gym and it doesn’t compare to the skills I have learned at slick sluggers boxing. The group classes are an amazing workout and really help build your confidence and strength. One on one training with a coach is just as great because the coaches push you to become the best you can be. I’ve met a lot of awesome people there and made some great new friends :-) 10/10 all day!!!
I walked into this gym several months ago not knowing what to expect honestly, With the whole Covid and global pandemic situation I really let myself go and slacked on the exercise department. I met with Coach Jared one of the coaches at the gym and was met with honesty and professionalism. It felt like the gym wasnt trying to really sell me any additional services. I just wanted to start training in boxing and was told we can start immediately. Over the course of the past few months I have gained a lot of confidence and have slowly been getting back into shape which has really been helping me out.The only cons Id say is it isnt the cheapest membership but one factor that alleviates that is you can pay by the lesson individually instead of by a packet of five or ten. Everyone I met with at the gym has been very nice and accommodating.Pros: Great staff, Very relaxing environment ( One worry I had was I was expecting to get put through the ringer.) They train anyone willing to put in the work whether its just for fitness, self defense or even competition.If you are looking for a good gym to get into boxing Id say this is your best bet since they really make sure to cover all the basic aspects of boxing before teaching you anything else.Also the gym is pretty clean too so thats a plus.
Calling Slick Sluggers the greatest boxing gym is an understatement! Coach Nic has created an gym with an atmosphere that feels like home. I started with Coach Nic to step up my workout. Now, almost 2 years later, Im training to spar. From the experienced coaches to the gym members, this gym is one of a kind!
I cant say enough amazing things about Slick Sluggers. Having decided (at 40yrs old) to start boxing, with no experience at all (Ive never punched anything in my life), it was an intimidating prospect as a woman to walk into a boxing gym. Im so glad I did. Coach Jeff is an amazing coach and in just over a month, Im throwing some serious punches (at least, thats what Im told ;). If you, like me, are teetering on the edge of decision, but wondering if you can even walk in - do it! I assure you, you are welcome here. You will not regret it.
Coach Nic and staff are the best! I trained with Coach Nic for over a year and can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life. The gym is super clean, welcoming and every time you walk in it feels like home. Coach Nic and staff are very knowledgeable and truly only want the best, when you’re in there it’s like you belong to a family. The greatest boxing gym I’ve had the pleasure to experience led by a great coach and person.
I’ve missed boxing. I did it for years and needed a place to train again. I did diligent research and came across Slick Sluggers. My questions were answered right away and I attended a trial class and felt at home. Coach Nic makes a point to know everyone’s names in class, answers any questions and gives pointers at all times. He is dedicated to his business and has great work ethic.I also brought my 12 year old daughter and 15 year old brother to a kids class with coach Jeremiah and they were sold right away. Coach Jeremiah is great with the kids and motivates them for success.Slick sluggers is a place that I proudly call my boxing home. I’ve made some friends and the guys in the class always treat me as an equal. I truly love and appreciate all Coach Nic does to treat us as a family!
I have had nothing but the best experiences at Slick Sluggers Boxing since i joined! Coach Nic and his staff are super friendly and very professional. Coach Nic pushes me to be the best that I can be each time I train with him. He is an awesome boxing coach and very motivating. I look forward to training with him each week. 10/10 recommend this place to anyone who wants a great training environment!
I love this gym and the trainers that work here. Coach Nic has a great team surrounding him! His whole team has a ton of knowledge on boxing. Everyone that attends this gym pushes each other to get each other better without the egos getting in the way. Whether you are someone to trying to get into shape, or you are someone who is looking to compete, Slick Sluggers is the place to be!
One of the most astonishing place to train and work on yourself, there is absolutely nothing bad i can say about this place, because it’s one big family. as soon as you walk into the doors of slick sluggers you are welcomed by a smile whether you’re coming into open gym, private lessons, or group classes, all coaches are dedicated and a complete joy to work with. the staff and coaches nic, jerimiah, ricky, steve, jared, etc.. are all passionate about what they do and all want the same task to watch you grow and work on yourself for the better! There is never a time i walk out this gym feeling upset or dissatisfied, walking in and out of those doors you feel as better as you had before. Slick sluggers boxing is a great place to come in train and learn you would never forget your experience here, you become a family with everyone around. you won’t regret joining!
I don’t know where to begin, I walked into Slick Sluggers last week not knowing a thing about boxing, but in the 4 sessions that I’ve had so far, I’ve learned a lot. The environment and coaches are very welcoming and treat us like family. I’ve only been here for a week or so and I already feel like I’m apart of the family, I’m happy to be apart of the family 👍🏼.
Coach Nic has been a tremendous help to me as a beginner in boxing. He gives great attention to detail and is extremely passionate in seeing his students succeed and get better. I have recommended him to my friends, and would recommend him to anybody who enjoys the sport of boxing.
Great gym with an ample amount of clients who seem tight knit. Everyone was welcoming. Owner, Coach Nic is very knowledgeable and it is clear he loves what he does! He is passionate about boxing, and training. If you live on Long Island and looking for a place to train, spar, lose weight or all the above then stop by and check this gym out!
Edit: in response to coach below - this is not a fake profile. I have no doubts others enjoy their time and I’m truly happy to see many ppl had a great experience. I am merely sharing mine. I hope businesses can use this feedback to improve rather than become defensive — I’m glad feedback is taken constructively!-I came here for a lesson pass, and while I my coach was good, the overall atmosphere was pretty unwelcoming. I was a little nervous to begin with, returning to fitness after a hiatus and knowing I’m not in the best shape of my life. But I do have enough past experience with gyms to know what good hospitality feels like. Seeing all the glowing reviews, I was trying to looking forward to it. So I was surprised the vibe was so off.No intro or even a hello from who seemed like the owner, other trainers walked by without interest until my coach had to tell him to say hi. The gym was pretty empty at the time, so it’s not like they were preoccupied. No one said bye. No one cared. There was literally zero acknowledgement from anyone but my coach. Idk what the deal was but we all want to find a place that energizes and motivates you to come back and spend time. It would’ve been nice if they put more effort into that experience. Maybe I was just not the demographic they wanted? Too fat? Too slow? it certainly felt that way.As I mentioned, the coach was good — enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The space was large and clean, with nice branding. But it did not pass the vibe check and I’m sad to say I wouldn’t feel comfortable returning regularly.
I would highly recommend Slick Sluggers to anyone looking to push themselves both physically and mentally. Ive been taking personal lessons here and its been great. I have zero complaints. Coach Nic has been a tremendous help. Many times he has been walking by and stopped me to show me how I could improve my form. The gym is always clean and the staff is personable. I dont usually leave reviews on businesses but this gym is just that good. If your thinking about joining, just do it!!
Great gym filled with amazing coaches. Whether you’re new or experienced the coaches will work with you to achieve your goals. In just 4 months I see an amazing difference from the first time I walked in the door. The facility itself is also has enough equipment for everyone to come in and work on what they would like to work on.
I’ve always loved and practiced all types of martial arts. When I decided to take up boxing I realized there’s so much detail and skills to learn but Coach Nic & Jeremiah made it easy for me the adjust with their breakdowns and passion for teaching. The atmosphere and everyone there is great as well. Highly recommended!
I joined the slick sluggers family just after attending their grand opening - I was weightlifting at the time and needed to implement cardio into my routine (no incentive could make me use an elliptical for longer than 5 minutes). I’ve jumped around between different boxing gyms for a few months but immediately fell for the vision at slicksluggers and signed up. My time at slicksluggers is something I will forever cherish. Irrespective of the tone of my day, the family at slicksluggers would never fail to lift my spirits and put me through a killer workout; Their classes have also sharpened my boxing skills and I now feel like a badass when training at my local gym. Nic’s (owner) passion for his job is what makes the gym what it is. He lives, breathes boxing and fully invests his energy into every single student - the epitome of a leader and friend. The classes, coaches, energy, and members are awesome. I miss the slicksluggers fam every day and hope to rejoin once I move back to NYC!! Miss you guys! And Nic: miss you screaming RAAACHEEELLL when I get lazy. Hope to see you all soon!
Coach Nic is one of the best boxing coaches I have had the pleasure to work with. Very approachable and tailors each lesson according to the students style and need. I felt that my skill level in boxing has improved greatly because of him. Nic has some very versatile lessons and if you talk to him about what your goals for your sessions are, he can work with you whether you are a motivated fighter or a fitness enthusiast. Highly recommend him!
Coach Nic is one of the best coaches around. I have been training with him for about three years now, his dedication and love for the sport and his students really shows in training. Coach nic pays attention to every detail and thanks to him I can brag about my proper form and technique... Him and his staff are all very professional and polite and maintain a very clean environment. I would 100% recommend people to go to Slick Sluggers.
Coach Nic is a great trainer and runs a good boxing program. Even if you don’t have a background in boxing, he will start with all the basics. You can tell he has experience and knowledge about the sport of boxing. He always brings lots of energy to the lesson and makes them fun while learning the techniques. The lessons are only thirty minutes and move at a quick pace, but you never feel rushed or that your technique will suffer.
I fell in love with boxing 12 years ago. I became a personal trainer and boxing instructor. I have worked with other coaches to keep me sharp but I have always been disappointed. They are either not knowledge or do not care. Coach Nic is both knowledgeable and cares. I highly recommend his service to anyone looking to learn the sweet science of boxing.
This is one of the best facilities I have had the pleasure of training at. Being in the military I traveled a lot and trained at multiple facilities throughout the country. Slick Sluggers provides an environment where you can feel at home while equally offering a high caliber of training to all skill levels. From new workout enthusiasts to professionals looking to sharpen up and learn new tactics... This Is The Place To Be!!
What brought me to start training at slick sluggers was the state of the art facility. I continue to train there now because of the excellent coaching staff and overall gym culture. Never been in a more positive competitive environment before, truly something you find once in a lifetime. I look forward to what I can accomplish at the gym as well as the gyms bright future.
Worked with coach Nick for a short time in order to learn the basics of boxing before I continue training in the future. He was not only very patient, making sure to pause and point out specifically where I needed to improve my form, but also great at explaining how each movement should be made. I feel I have a solid start to build upon moving forward. Another aspect of Nics instruction that I appreciated greatly is how accommodating he is with appointments. I had a lot of fun training with Nic and I think any beginner should take a few lessons with him to get a solid foundation.Update: 01/16/2022Had a chance to join the gym after a few years being outside of NY. Coach Nic has upheld the standard of boxing instruction that I enjoyed in 2017 and has expanded it at his gym. Will be back whenever I am in the area!
Nic is the best coach I ever worked with hands down. He really knows his stuff and can prepare you for fights or simply help you meet your fitness goals. Training with him has helped me push myself beyond my limits and feel comfortable against any opponent in the ring. I definitely recommend him to anyone seeking a boxing/fitness coach.
I learned so much from this gym, this environment, and these coaches. I was so used to feeling uncomfortable in training gyms with other people and confidence was difficult for me. These classes and this gym made me feel motivated and taught me more than just boxing. My confidence and skills grew exponentially :)
Whether you have never put on Boxing gloves a day in your life, or if youve been boxing for years and wanna take your craft to the next level, Coach Nick is the guy thats going to get you there. I had a little experience when I started but the way Coach Nick trains you up will definitely help you meet whatever goals you set for yourself. Man or Woman, if you just wanna box to get in shape, hes gonna get you in shape. If you want legitimately fight in the ring, hes USA Boxing certified and can get you fighting/competing on that level. All around great workout, great boxing, great experience, but most of all, a great trainer. Highly Recommend.
Nic has been an awesome Coach! Him and I have been training together every week for the last 7 months now and my boxing game has grown so much. Hes been super patient with me, always accommodating and it is obvious that he has a deep understanding and love for the sport of boxing. If youre interested in learning boxing at any level Nic is definitely the man to get in contact with. He has a wide variety of different styles that he teaches and reinforces. One lesson definitely has built upon the one previous to it. I look forward to working with him every week since theres always something new and creative he wants to teach. Having good coaches, educators in life is so important and he definitely is representative of that. Check him out people!
Nic is a great trainer. As far as boxing training skills go, Nic trains pro boxers and other boxing trainers. He also trains me, a middle aged guy looking to stay in shape and retain fight skills. He is very patient and fun to train with. The new gym is amazing. Great equipment. Immaculate. His staff is very professional. The other members are very nice.
Coach Nic is a great mentor in the world of boxing who has developed an extremely effective lesson structure for learning the art of boxing. His versatility as a coach enables him to work with students of any experience level as well as any age. His coaching style allows his students to learn the proper fundamentals of self defense while getting a great cardiovascular workout at the same time.
Nothing but Great things to say about coach nick. Specializes your classes to exactly what your goals are and makes sure he pushes you just enough to get you going. I started off knowing nothing about fighting but through his very enjoyable personality one catches on quickly. Coach nick has the respect of many in the boxing realm and that does nothing more than boost your confidence in the ring. Coach nick provides video references for your classes which allows you see your progress. All in all one of the best experiences Ive ever had. Highly recommend
During my winter break from college I had decided to start boxing. I had a short four weeks left before I had to go back to school, and I can honestly say working with coach Nic is one of the best decisions Ive made. He is understanding, motivating, and truly knows what hes doing. Coach Nic within my four weeks of training gave me all the tools I needed to be successful, he helped me improve my fitness and was extremely supportive throughout the entire experience. I am looking forward to when I return, and I highly recommend working with him.
Training with Coach Nic has been an absolute pleasure. Ive been working with him for about two months now and have been able to learn so much in such a short period of time. He has not only improved my boxing skills but also my defense tactics and my overall health and fitness level. The program is designed so that youre learning something new every session while building on and improving on what youve learned in previous sessions. Hes flexible with scheduling, super accommodating and pushes you at every session all while having a great time. I would recommend him to everyone if I could! He loves what he does and it shows and I look forward to every session with him!
When I first started I was afraid that I couldnt push myself to learn boxing but Coach Nic has helped me tremendously to improve. He is by far the best boxing coach Ive had. It doesnt matter what your age is or experience. Nic will go over and beyond to help you out. I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to learn boxing!
I met Nic a few years ago and hes been by far the best trainer I ever got to work with. He starts you from the basic fundamentals all the way up and its a blast every single time. Ive never had someone push me to my limits the way he does and he has tough but great work outs set up for one on one sessions. If you wanna fight or just get a good tough session, he will get you there. Proud to say hes trained me well! Check him out!
Nick is an excellent coach for anyone looking to improve there boxing skills or simply get physically fit. Nick has great knowledge of boxing fundamentals and is a great coach for beginners or fighters. Be prepared to sweat while having a great time training with him.
Nic is a phenomenal coach. He is very experienced and well educated in the sport. He also has an innate knack for coaching. Its one thing to be very well educated, but its another thing to make your inexperienced student comfortable around you while you coach them. He knows what hes doing and you are going to benefit greatly from his teaching. He not only improved my footwork and punching power, but i also lost 40lbs while working with Nic. Hes a great coach and I recommend him to anyone. Hes perfect for any skill level boxer.
Great gym with amazing staff. Every class has a good mix of skill levels and everyone, students or coaches, are always willing to help you out or offer some tips to help you improve. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn a martial art or is just looking for a fun way to get a great workout. I like how you touch on the fundamentals of fighting. That makes a world of difference. Great class as usual. And you are extremely affable and gregarious teacher who brings excitement and creates a friendly vibe thats both motivational and beneficial to everyone in class. I am grateful for great friends or great teacher like you who inspire me to not give up, never compromise and to stay positive!
Coach Nic is awesome! Hes super knowledgeable and knows exactly what hes doing. Hes a really good teacher because hes very easy to understand and no matter how many times I keep messing up he never loses his patients with me. What I really love about training with him is that we do something new every single time. Most trainers keep repeating the same thing over and over again, you just end up wasting classes and getting bored that way. If you were looking to learn or improve your technique I highly recommend training with Coach Nic. I am a kickboxing instructor myself and I still learned so many new things from him.
Excellent gym and expert coaching. I’ve worked with coach nick for around a year and have followed him to his new home in Mineola. I’ve never met a coach that is so invested in every students personal development. As a police officer i understand how important it is to be involved in a combat sport or martial art for many different reasons. It is also difficult to find a gym that has a flexible schedule depending on what tour you work. All I can say is coach nick has been nothing but perfect in accommodating my schedule. If you’re in law enforcement and you’re interested in learning the sweet science, please come down to slick sluggers and get your journey started.
Slick Sluggers is the place to go if you wanna gain strength and confidence. Very quickly, Coach Nick was able to teach me how to use my body most efficiently and we really got the adrenaline flowing! I feel safer in my own skin and I am forever grateful to Nick and the Slick Slugger family for helping me through a time when I was feeling really down on myself. Go check these guys out!!
At Slick Sluggers, you will routinely hear Coach Nic say “I want you to be a better boxer than me.” It is a tall order, but this is a goal that he wholeheartedly and enthusiastically undertakes through a tried and true system of first mastering fundamentals, then adopting a style, or styles, that fit your preference, and really learning the “why” behind each and every punch, angle, slip, etc.Slick Sluggers checks off all the boxes because Coach Nic is very passionate about boxing and takes an above and beyond approach to furthering your progress. As a result, you have a trainer who is motivating and will absolutely not let you undergo a drill, pad work, sparring, or even bag work without making sure you are doing everything properly.The environment is a very friendly community. There are no bullies at the gym, and you will not be asked to do anything you aren’t comfortable with. You go at your own pace, and I 100% trust Coach Nic with my health.Among the biggest advantages of the gym are the ability to analyze video taken during your sessions which helps improvement by allowing you to see your movements from a third party perspective, and Coach Nic’s style of relating the material to make moves easy to understand and execute. Very smooth and comfortable personal transition up the experience ladder from shadow boxing to sparring.Very highly recommended to beginners and experienced boxers alike, all the way from amateur to pro, as well as regular health and fitness enthusiasts who want to get/stay in shape (I lost 30 lbs. in a year) while having fun doing it and learning skills you will be able to keep for life.
I read the comments and I had to see for my self. I took just a few classes so far and I just have to say that he really knows what hes talking about. I have a long way to go because Im out of shape and heavy but with his training Ill definitely get to a better me. Hes not gonna just show you how to punch a bag but how to use boxing as a sport or self defense. I dont want just a workout routine but the understandings of the science behind boxing. Coach Nic is a good instructor, just go over there and see for yourself. Be careful going anywhere else because those workout routines are great until youre popped in the mouth.
Nic is a great coach. I have been training with him for about 6 months now, and can say with absolute certainty he has brought me a long way from the first day I walked into the gym to now. He is extremely patient through the learning process, and he knows how to push you to get the best out of you. With boxing you really need a steady hand teaching you the right way, and Nic is second to none.
I have been training with Nic for about 3 years now and it is honestly one of the best decisions I have made. At first I was skeptical, because I did not want to fight, however it only took one session to win me over and it is the BEST, most fun and challenging workout I get now, not only does he push you during the session but the skills he teaches you are great for self defense if you ever need it. I even started sparring him for skill! I would recommend him for anyone who wants a great way to get into shape while having fun.
I was searching for a way to incorporate cardio and relieve stress without having to do boring traditional training. I had seen all these ads on kickboxing but it wasn’t appealing to me. I wanted to learn proper boxing technique and do private lessons. I came across Slick Sluggers Boxing website and I contacted Coach Nic. He heard my requests and answered my questions. After taking the free private lesson, I was assured that I had found the right Coach to assist me in quest to get in better shape and learn some new skills. It’s refreshing to know that there’s talented people that are not only passionate about their skills but also want others to succeed. I’m not treated as just another paying customer. He truly cares about his students. Never a dull moment in the Ring during my boxing sessions.
I can’t say enough great things about this place. The vibe, atmosphere and positive energy Coach Nic has created is pretty amazing. His attention to detail is incredible and he corrects you immediately before bad habits form. Being in the law enforcement field It is important to have defensive skills. I came in with little to no skills and he has worked with me making me feel confident and building me up along the way. I look forward to keep working with him and can’t recommend him enough whether you are looking for a challenging workout or want to learn a fighting skill.
Nic is great boxing coach with a ton of experience. He cares about his students and has a lot of knowledge. The workout is fun while teaching you the skills of boxing. If youd like to get in shape or become a skilled boxer I highly recommend slick sluggers. The cool thing is you get in shape while learn set defnese skills.
Been training with coach Nic for about a year now. Nothing but awesome things to say about him and his training. I have come such a long way from a year ago and I can’t help but thank Nic for all of his dedication, education and knowledge about boxing and training. He has helped me become more confident in myself and gain a lot of knowledge on boxing and self defense. Not only is he an amazing coach but an awesome person in general. He is very friendly and personable. He understands your needs, wants and goals. He pushes you farther and harder then you think you can actually go. If you are looking to exercise, loose weight, have fun, train hard and defend yourself Nic is the guy to go to!
Coach Nic is the man! Very experienced and accomodating. I had no prior boxing experience and after working with Nic, I learned a lot of boxing concepts that improved my conditioning and self-defense skills immensely. Nics programs are very thorough and he makes sure to go at a pace you are fully comfortable with. Get ready to work hard, get a great workout and leave with a sense of satifisfaction every week!
Coach Nic is the best in the business! You’ll see it right away via the championship belts on the wall! He was very intelligent and immediately noticed issues with my form that he fixed within minutes! Super nice guy and patient with beginners but experienced enough to train high level athletes! I would recommend anyone to go see him!
I have nothing but great things to say about Nick. I am a martial artist that just loves to learn. Nick seeing that has taught me the basics in boxing up to advanced moves with such depth and simplicity that in a very short time my boxing has become amazing.He is very passionate about what he is teaching you , you can tell by how much patience he has and willingness to answer any questions.If your looking for a great workout while learning the art of boxing and some self defense then there’s no reason why you shouldn’t work with him.
Nic is an exceptional boxing coach. Nic creates individualized programs that further your workout goals. Whether you want to just get fit and have a fun workout or if you want to train for a fight, Nic is the person to train with. He absolutely lives for boxing and this passion comes out in his training sessions. If you are planning to fight, I would recommend him as a coach.

He is willing to schedule sparring sessions for his fighters at different gyms to ensure that their technique and confidence is improved.

Coach Nic is an amazing Coach and person who helped me grow in and learn the trade of boxing. He also helped me grow as a person, in terms of discipline and resilience, for which I am ever so grateful to him. Its unfortunate and a shame I had to leave all of a sudden due to some unavoidable circumstances but I shall utilize whatever he has taught me and I shall come back to learn with him again, for sure. I do recommend SlickSluggers boxing to anyone and everyone who wants to grow as a boxer and a great person in general.
I paid for the 10 week bundle for around $500 and it was well worth the money. My trainer, Nic is an all around great guy and an excellent motivator. The sessions were 30 minutes and had me exhausted but feeling great by the end of each one. I recommend for anybody whos first starting out or any experienced boxers who want to sharpen their skills.
I started learning may Thai/boxing at different establishments and before meeting nick I was ignorent in believing that I had a good idea of sport in my mind it was all about hard work and training boy was I wrong. My first sparring session with coach nick only proved I had great cardio but no actual understanding of the sweet science of form techniques. Nick broke down my flaws and taught me the hardest thing how to unlearn bad habit and learn new ones. My stricking and confidence in sparring Improved greatly. He showed me how to stay calm and relaxed during a brawl and how to react to punches with critical thinking and not Blind anger of getting hit. I recommend him to anyone who is trying better themselves be it to improve your health or to improve your passion for the sport.
Looking for an fitness experience to rebuild a surgically repaired shoulder I was recommended to Nic at slick sluggers. He is an awesome trainer that pays attention to detail, and makes the experience fun. He is one of the soul reasons my shoulder is stronger than it was before surgery. Ive recommended him to friends and will continue to.
Great place clean new equipment ego less environment great parking and location all the toys a boxing student would enjoy playing I mean working with. The showers and bathrooms are clean and inviting. The private classes are souly based on you.. a place where u learn from the owner and coach Slick Nik. Learn different styles of boxing techniques that can be used either in the ring during spar excercises or as a form of self defense..
This is a great program whether youre looking to gain fitness or are legitimately interested in taking up boxing. Coach Nic is knowledgeable and patient and will take the time to make sure you understand the instruction. One of the best programs Ive been involved in.
Ive worked with allot of different trainers, with different styles of training techniques. Coach Nic is by far the best trainer Ive come accross yet. He not only shows you the fundamentals of boxing, but explains the mental behind it. I highly recommend Coach Nic for anyone who wants to learn self defense or sharpen their skills.
The best! Been training with Coach Nic for a couple of weeks and cannot believe how much i have improved and learned. He makes sure that you master each technique before moving on, and really pushes you to to be the best you can be. whether you just want to lose weight and get the workout, or you want to train for fights, this is the place to go. Cant wait to continue training with Coach Nic and to get my first fight in. No matter what goal you are aiming towards Nic will definitely help you achieve it.
Classes with Coach Nic from Slick Sluggers Boxing are great. He is very methodical, focusing on technique while also giving you an incredible workout. You learn at your own pace and ultimately progress to reach your goals. If youre even considering it, just try it out!
I worked with Nick a year ago, and his lessons are still in my head to this day. The guy is an absolute genius, he is genuine and has some of the most effective lessons ive ever come across and ive been training for 7 years. He makes the training sessions fun and exciting and helps you exactly where you need it, while also pointing out all that youre doing right constantly. You can tell he loves what he does. Amazing instructor!
Nic is an excellent coach. Hes very versatile which allows him to adapt to any fighters style. You can be a textbook boxer, brawler, counter puncher it doesnt matter. Hell give you the tools to maximize your strengths and also help you work on your weaknesses. What sets Nic apart from other coaches is his insight. Hes able to work with fighters who compete in MMA, muay thai and other disciplines. Im an amateur Muay Thai fighter and since working with Nic my hands and defense have imporved tremendously and Im able to incorporate similar techniques in both discplines.
I started boxing with Nic over the summer of 2017, and I was very hesitant to start because I had never fought or punched anything in my life. Nic made me feel so comfortable to begin that after the first session I was already asking when I could schedule my next one. Nic genuinely cares about each one of his clients and focuses on the goals that they have. I have watched my videos from when I first started boxing to now, and I cannot believe the growth that has occurred. Never has Nic cancelled on me, or been late, he is EXTREMELY reliable. I would recommend Nic to anyone whether you have boxed before or are a newbie like I was. Boxing with Nic has changed my life and he has helped me not only with self-defense but also living a healthy lifestyle.
Hands down best boxing coach youll find. Came in with some limited experience, he found my weaknesses and he built me all the way up to being able to spar other students. The foot movement, combos, head movement and angles he teaches are fun, challenging and rewarding not to mention useful weapons when sparring! Check him out you wont be disappointed!
Im 64, & I been involved in Martial Arts for many years, but I have never had a guy like Nik, who really isolates & breaks down every little nuance, & then allows you to see how to put everything together.A basic fundamental, like breathing, while in th ring changes th whole game for th better.You take things, like head movement for granted.. But Nik shows you how to use it effectively, for defense..AS WELL AS OFFENSIVE..Nick is a professor in th ring.I wud recommend him above & beyond any fight trainor, hands down.
I discovered Slick Sluggers Boxing Gym a few months ago while driving by. Im crazy about boxing and always looking to learn something new so I decided to pop in.I was greeted by the owner, Coach Nic. He was really cool, definitely experienced and very enthusiastic about his gym; I sensed right away his passion for the sport and knew right away I could learn a lot from him. I decided to book some private sessions immediately. I cannot say enough good about that decision.The gym is clean, has all new equipment and its a very positive environment. I havent been this excited about the sport of boxing since the very beginning when I first started. Nic breaks down the sweet science and explains moves and techniques very well. Man, I just love this place and can highly recommend it. There are a number of other coaches as well that are really good and group classes if thats your thing.If youre interested in boxing, looking to get in shape or maybe just learn a little something to defend yourself do yourself a favor and check out Slick Sluggers Boxing Gym. In fact, I think you can take a free trial class. (sorry for the long review, Im a business owner and know how important this stuff is.) Now get off the couch and get to the gym!

2021-12-01Are you looking to lose weight and learn a new skill. Welcome home. Slick Slugger boxing gym is the place for you. I walked in the gym a cool 40 lbs over weight. Today I can say, with the help of my boxing family of coaches, and friends at Slick Sluggers boxing, I got rid of the extra weight in no time. Boxing is therapeutic, it becomes addictive.Remember, this gym is unlike any other. Once you join the gym, you join a family. Everyone is routing for you. Coach Nick has years of experience. He hired the best coaches, to assist him Ricky Jared Jeremiah and the rest of the coaching staff are pleasant to work with , they will inspire, and help you get into the shape that you deserve.

2021-11-30Going to slick sluggers gym was an amazing choice for me to make. I was very nervous about beginning to learn to box and entering a new gym. However, the coaches are truly incredible and made my experience better than I ever could have asked for. They all really want to see you grow and develop as they make sure fine tune your skills. Regardless of the coach you may work one-one with, every coach at the gym cares about you and wants you to succeed. It really is a family environment that I am happy to have joined. I personally work with coach Jared who has been an amazing coach as he has been patient, non judgmental, and really wants to see you improve. I would recommend this gym to anyone who is even considering to want to learn the sport of boxing!

2022-03-31I started classes at Slick Sluggers as a near-novice last fall. It was one of the best choices I’ve ever made.This gym is led by thoughtful, energetic, inclusive, MOTIVATING people. And the people who go there come from all backgrounds and have all different goals (from strength and cardio improvements, to learning to spar). I haven’t missed a class in months, because there’s no place I’d rather be.This gym builds your skills, and helps you achieve your goals. I’m at the point where I can start taking Advanced classes, and I couldn’t be more stoked.Choose this gym, you won’t regret it!!!

He’s been very informative with form and techniques and also helps motivate you during workouts. The staff is very knowledgeable and they all push you to grow and be your best. All of the other coaches are nice and the gym has a very welcoming environment. Would definitely recommend boxing here!

2021-11-30From a boxing standpoint this is an awesome gym. They will help you learn the basics, drill with other people, spar or compete. Its up to you to go as far as you want. My coach and other coaches in the gym encouraged me to keep going, always pushing me and motivating to keep going. On a personal level my coach is friendly, kept in contact with me on off weeks and kept me interested. The entire gym is staffed with helpful and friendly people.

2021-11-29Great environment for boxers of all levels!! I had no boxing experience prior to joining Slick Slugger but Coach Jared has helped me become more competent in the ring, get into better shape FAST, and strengthen my mental fortitude. The gym is always clean and organized. Boxing is a relatively new hobby of mine but will stick around for a while. I couldn’t have asked for a better gym to be a part of!

2021-11-30What an amazing gym! No matter who you are we welcome anyone and everyone. All the coaches have undeniable passion for boxing and for making people feel welcomed and motivated. Fitness? Fighting? Fun? We cover all aspects from top to bottom and find great joy in helping bring people up. I’ve known the owner for sometime now and have never seen him be rude or negative. He in fact gave me a coaching job and has helped me in ways my own family never did. He lifts me and EVERYONE up and is always there for anyone that needs an ear to talk to or has a question about boxing.If you’re looking for a gym that has a great vibe and experienced coaches the n look no further! Just stop by and one of the coaches will be sure to make you feel welcome and answer any questions you have.
