My name is Jordan Guenther and I am the head boxing coach at the world famous American Top Team Portland. I am a certified USA Boxing coach, a CSA Coaches Clinic alumni, and the former Assistant Head coach for the elite competition team at McConnell's Boxing Academy under two time world champion "Fearless" Molly McConnell. I have been a coach for over a decade and a full time fitness trainer since quitting my day job in 2016.
My personal training clientele ranges from every day people who want to use boxing to lose weight and tone up to professional boxers and MMA fighters. My system of pad work has helped Thousands of people lose weight, get fit, and win fights from the regional amateur circuit all the way up to the UFC.
I love my fighters but I knew if I wanted to pay the bills I had to specialize in training everyday people who want to get fit and have fun. My pad holding system was designed with them in mind- taking folks with no prior boxing experience and get them smashing pads and burning calories right away.
This course will teach you everything you need to introduce boxing and pad work with your fitness clients TODAY. Learn to use mitts and stand out from other trainers, fill your schedule, and take advantage of a constantly booming fitness movement.
