Powercore Boxing and Fitness

The team at powercore is the best, great workout, good training partners, and Teddy knows his stuff.

Powercore is THE best place to to learn the basics of boxing in Vancouver. I've been to all of the major boxing gyms in Vancouver and none have the same feeling as Teddy has created in his classes and his personal training sessions.Balancing a wealth of knowledge and horrible jokes, your time there fly by and an hour will feel like 10 minutes.Walking into a boxing gym for the 1st time you're usually greeted with some gruff meathead who comes across like he's rather do anything else, but at Powercore, Teddy will make sure you're taken care of as he's created a a fun and inviting atmosphere and he'll go out of his way to make sure you're both welcome and are getting the most out of your time with him.If you want to train for fitness, he'll help you set goals and work towards making you feel better about your self as well as learn the basics of boxing. If you want to spar? He'll make sure you have the necessary skills to get in the ring and be safe. He creates a very controlled situation while you're in the ring, stopping the session quickly if he sees something that he thinks should be corrected.I can't recommend Powercore enough. If you're someone who wants to get into shape or if you're someone who wants to improve their boxing skills, please check the gym out!

A great workout with great people. Teddy (the coach) has a fantastic personality that makes you want to work harder. An excellent monthly price for more classes than I can handle.

This is plain and simple a fun class. I can't stick with very many things but with Teddy its easy! I feel like it is catered to anyone for all levels. As a beginner I am able to join in and learn along with others. I know there are some champions in the making, and a few of us who go because we need exercise but I also can see we all have a good time! Thanks Teddy!

I've been a member at Powercore Boxing since the very beginning and I love each and every class. Teddy Castela teaches boxing techniques like no other. It’s real boxing training without the intimidation that other boxing gyms have. If you’re a pro boxer or just starting, Powercore is definitely the place to train. Thanks Teddy!

There is no better boxing gym around. Teddy is an awesome couch and the classes have an awesome atmosphere. Very good price per month as well.

Unbelievably, Powercore is still the best kept (gym) secret in the city. As a boxing gym, you won’t find better. Teddy, the owner, trains champions across multiple professional sports - boxing, MMA, race car driving and more. Teddy himself regularly travels to L.A. to hone his skills at Wild Card boxing gym, owned by the legendary Freddie Roach who has himself trained many boxing champions like Pacquiao, Cotto, de La Hoya, Tyson, Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. and many more. Teddy is very modest, friendly and easy going, never intimidating. But he knows boxing. And fitness.So what if you're like me - not a boxer, never could be, just in need of a good workout? No question, you won't find a better one anywhere in the city, or better trainers. I've done both personal training and classes at Powercore for years and it's never boring, easy or simple, but always fun (and I hate exercise). At Powercore, you'll find out how boxing (even if you're terrible at it like me) is the best full body workout you can find (mind and body!) and the most fun ever. Old or young, fit or not, you'll find a place for yourself on the Powercore team. Try it! Great atmosphere, great workout and no attitude from trainers or trainees. You'll never want to go anywhere else.

I really enjoy the laid back vibe. It's also a great work out! Nice people, good sweat!

Great boxing class with T.

Amazing boxing and fitness instruction for any skill level! I started as a beginner and the classes are so fun and give you a great workout! The coach is fantastic and always has a smile on his face! All other members are great and make you feel like part of the Powercore family! I would definitely recommend trying out a class!
