State of Fitness Boxing Club

About

State of Fitness Boxing Club is a boxing gym in North Bergen that serves everyone from fitness seekers to amateur and professional boxers. Founded in 2016 by North Hudson firefighter Desmond Boyle, the gym honors the area's boxing heritage and traces its roots to Boyle's father, a renowned Northern Ireland boxing coach, and includes legendary cornerman Lenny DeJesus on its original team. The facility also offers a youth after-school program designed to build confidence, coordination, and discipline in a safe environment.

The gym emphasizes an authentic, vintage-inspired atmosphere with expert coaching and personalized attention. Rather than focusing on typical gym amenities, State of Fitness provides a community-driven space where members can train on their own terms, whether solo, in group settings, or one-on-one with coaches. The training approach develops total-body strength, cardiovascular endurance, speed, agility, coordination, mental toughness, and stress relief through high-intensity work across all fitness levels.

• Open gym with flexible solo training time
• Group classes combining HIIT boxing fitness with weights
• Personal training sessions one-on-one with coaches
• Amateur and professional boxing training with technique, sparring, and fight preparation
• Youth and after-school programs for young athletes
