Alexander “Pepper”

Founder | Boxing Coach | Private Training | Sparring

Why I Love Boxing:
Boxing is my great escape. It is my time to lose myself and tap in to something almost “savage”. When I train, I give myself the permission to think and feel without censorship. I am “me”, in its most rare and raw form.

My Class:
My wish is for my clients to have such an incredible experience, that they can’t help but tell everyone they know about it. I want to blend authenticity and charisma to give you a workout like nothing you’ve experienced before.

My Nickname:
I am the founder of PepperBoxing. Pepper originated as an acronym for Practical.Exercise.Personally.Planned.Equals.Results. My life’s work has been devoted to health and wellness. Allow me to add some spice to your training.

Chase “Honey Badger”

Boxing Coach | Private Training

Why I Love Boxing:
Boxing is my push. My challenge. My connection to people. I’ve always been very competitive and grew up participating in team sports all the way through college. Boxing continues to push me to want more…to try harder…to keep that competitive edge and hungry mentality alive today. It’s challenging because it is essentially you against you. Nobody will make you show up to perform. It’s all on your shoulders.

My Class:
Have fun but lose yourself. Enjoy your time but don’t forget why you showed up. This class is not my time, it’s your time. It’s an opportunity to be better. It’s an opportunity to find new ways to push yourself, clear your mind, and learn an incredible sport in the process. My goal is to continue to push you, challenge you, and teach you new boxing techniques as often as possible. My goal is growth.

My Nickname:
The Honey Badger has obtained the reputation as one of the most savage, care free animals in the kingdom. He truly doesn’t give a crap! Boxing has a lot of stereotypes and creates a lot of walls for clients that have never participated in our group style classes. My goal is to break these barriers so that when you come to class you can be the most authentic, care free version of you as possible! Boxing is an escape and fun! Come to my class and leave the world at the door. It’s time to lose yourself.

Lisa “Knallhart”

Why I Love Boxing:
Real Talk: Boxing is my emotional outlet. When I box, I am free and I am my best me. Friends have become family through this wonderful sport and I couldn’t be more thankful. I show love through hitting people in the face. Now let me love you, damnit.

My Class:
I work hard to cater and to “know” my audience. Every class is unique and gritty but beautifully orchestrated. My client’s goals are my goals. Boxing is a solo sport but every fighter has a coach. Glove up and join my Pep Squad.

My Nickname:
Ha! At first I was “Ze German” but due to my heavy hitting on the bag, Chase went and googled the German word for “badass”. Well, now I’m Lisa “KNALLHART”

Zephaniah “Golden Boy”

Why I Love Boxing:
I love boxing because it changed and saved my life. As a child I spent a lot of summers in a rough neighborhood in south side Atlanta. I was picked on a lot due to my weight and kindness. I had to learn to defend myself. I also realized as a kid that I don’t like seeing others getting picked on either, so I learned how to defend them. Within a year I went from 220 to 130 pounds, I got in great shape, gained confidence, discipline and I had fun doing it. I’ve competed in silver gloves twice and I’ve had over 20 fights.

My Class:
My classes are the product of my passion for boxing. It’s not just another cardiovascular class for me, I put my heart in every person and exercise. In my class I take the time to really break down the craft as much as I can. I will show you the ins and outs and give one hell of a workout. I’ve learned a lot of cool boxing tricks over the years to make you stand out from the crowd.

My Nickname:
They call me “Golden Boy” around here for a couple reasons, one because of my passion for acting, my respect towards fighters and because I can do no wrong lol. Just kidding. Nobody is perfect, in my class you never have to feel embarrassed. It’s a place for growth and honesty.

Ericka “Pop” Clifford

Why I Love Boxing:
Boxing has always been a very enticing and exhilarating sport to watch. Growing up, I would watch the Rocky movies with my dad and tell him I would become a fighter one day. When I took my first boxing class, I could feel the blood rushing through my body. The thrill of hitting something as hard as I possibly could made me feel empowered!

Boxing has become an outlet for me. It is a place where I can find peace by letting everything out on the bag! I feel like a total BOSS, full of energy and power with every punch – what more could you ask for in a workout, right?

My Class:
I want you to become the best possible version of yourself. I want to push you past your limits. You will be challenged both mentally and physically in my class. I will push you to grow in your boxing abilities, and most of all, to grow as a person.
I am regularly striving to raise the bar for myself by learning new techniques and skills. I want to transfer everything that I learn to every single client in order to give them the best opportunity to be successful. It’s not about perfection, but progression!

My Nickname:
Careful, I might just “Pop” you in the face with a TWO.

Lewie “The Law”

Why I Love Boxing:
Boxing challenges me physically and mentally every time. I put in the time and I get immediate results. Just like you will.

My Class:
Tough Love. You’ll receive a smile, respect and high standards. I give my best and then some every time. I expect nothing short of that from you. I’m here to build you up – not tear you down.

My Nickname:
“The Law” Because in my class we don’t have rules.. just laws (thick country accent) Pew Pew! Gotta take my class to hear the full story.

Lette “With Za Good Hair”

Why I Love Boxing:
Boxing makes me feel like a strong badass woman! I love the feeling of throwing & landing punches. Small details like the sound of the bags shaking, the rattling of the chain and the skipping of the feet, keep me invested.

My Class:
When you leave my class I want you to feel accomplished & confident with your entire workout! I start small but I build up to the perfect combo. I add defense and footwork to make sure you get a true boxing experience! I teach my classes with high energy. My goal is to give you the best 50 minute session ever. Let loose and have some fun!

My Nickname:
Lette “with za good hair” is my nickname and it fits me perfectly. I never keep the same hairstyle for long! Bottom line: don’t get too comfortable with my appearance; I like to keep you on your toes (just like boxing). Honestly, life is just too short for the same hairdo!

Alphonso Alexander “Coach Phonz”

Why I Love Boxing:
Boxing is more than a sport, it is an experience – the more you put into it, the more you will get out of it. It enables you to find your strengths and weaknesses, and it forces you to address them. I love boxing because it is a functional study of both art and science.

My Class:
I strive to keep my classes fundamentally sound, maintaining proper form and technique, all while keeping it fun and interesting.

My Nickname:
Coach. From the time I started teaching boxing, everyone has always called me Coach, even as an amateur fighter. I take it as a show of appreciation.

Sandy “Spice” Liang

Why I Love Boxing:
There is this zone… this center… this fire I feel myself stepping into when my hands go up, and I get into the BOUNCE. When I first discovered the art of boxing, I found it released this version of myself that felt absolutely shameless and real. In boxing, there is always room for progress and improvement which is what makes it that much more of a fun, exciting, and humbling sport to me.

My Class:
Perfection is boring. Soooo boring. I ask that you allow yourself to come in and play, and to challenge yourself to make progress and grow! I am your Coach, but you and I are a team – I make it my mission for us to work together to tap into your capabilities and get comfortable with the uncomfortable, so that you can walk out a stronger, more powerful, and confident version of yourself. Whether it is your first day, your 5th class, or your 5th year experiencing boxing, I want all my clients to continue to constantly learn and challenge themselves. In my class, there is always, ALWAYS, an opportunity to challenge yourself and improve your performance. Let’s get moving, and let’s play!

My Nickname:
Once the mic comes on, the heat turns up. In my class, listen up for when I say, “let’s get spicy”. There is always an opportunity for a new experience for your body. Just when you thought you were tapped out… we will crank up the heat and spice things up! Sweet, but with a punch 😉
