Coach Jason is the real deal. He knows what he’s doing and makes it his mission that you do too. I needed some quick training for a short scene I was filming for a boxing tv show and he corrected my form and made sure I had a solid foundation. During filming, the stunt director approached me and asked where I trained. He said my form was good. That was such a relief because I don’t have much boxing experience but was just doing exactly what Coach Jason drilled me on. He won’t just make you hit the bag repetitively but actually explains the principles on why and how the stances and the forms work. Will definitely recommend checking out his classes at Northside Boxing in Evanston or booking a privatelesson!

Coach Jason is one of the best coaches I’ve been able to work with. He really pushes you to your limit and cares about your progress as a boxer. He’s also very friendly and funny so sessions feel like you’re working with both a coach and a friend. Couldn’t recommend him enough.

I’ve worked with a lot of boxing trainers over the years, and Jason is easily one of the best. He has a real knack for knowing when to push you — every session, he gets you right to your limit and then a little past it, which is exactly what you want from a trainer. But what makes him stand out is that he also knows when to pull back and balance things out. The energy in his workouts is upbeat and fun, and he creates the kind of environment where you actually look forward to showing up. If you’re serious about sharpening your technique and being pushed to get better, I can’t recommend Jason enough

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
1) I accept payments via Venmo, PayPal, or CashApp. However I prefer Zelle
2) All payments must be made BEFORE the lesson. 40% is required upfront(This payment reserves your date & time slot) the final payment will be due after the 1st session
3) If you need to cancel, you have up to 12 hours before your scheduled time of your class to do so
4) When you purchase packages (i.e. 5-10 classes) please be reminded that if you cancel on a short notice the class still counts. (All customers have until 10pm the day before) If I cancel your class (i.e. emergency) I will make sure your class is made up in a timely manner.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always like to do a "trial run" with new customers to see if things flow naturally between them and myself. The main thing is that I wish for you to be comfortable, comfort is key. Without it, nothing will be taught or learned.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a practitioner of this sport for over 13 years. As stated before I hold a Certificate as a Green Level Coach under USA Boxing.
