Who We Are

State Of Fitness Boxing Club in North Bergen, New Jersey is Hudson County’s Finest boxing gym. Owned and operated by decorated North Hudson firefighter, Desmond Boyle. Born from his love of boxing, and the desperate need for an authentic style boxing gym, Desmond opened the doors in August 2016. North Bergen is a town deeply entrenched in the history of boxing and State Of Fitness Boxing Club hopes to keep the tradition alive. The gym is a tribute to Boyle's father, a former boxing coach in Northern Ireland during the 1950s. To bring experience and character to the gym, Lenny DeJesus, legendary cornerman/trainer was brought in as head trainer.

The gym is designed to cater to both amateur and professionals. Boxing professionals interested in training at an authentic boxing club can enjoy the added perk of boxing in a fun and friendly environment. Those simply looking to stay in shape will find that State Of Fitness offers an encouraging atmosphere for learning the sport of boxing, with personally designed workouts tailored to individual physical abilities and needs.

State Of Fitness is proud to offer an after school program, providing an environment for kids to safely learn basic boxing fundamentals, while building athletic and motivational skills. The youth programs focus on coordination, speed, agility and strength while promoting self-confidence and discipline. The gym also offers local students the opportunity to use the gym at a discounted price.

Our goal is to offer North Bergen a world-class community gym where all fitness levels and ages are welcomed.
