Our history

Portland City Boxing opened its doors in downtown Portland with a mission to make boxing accessible to everyone. Founded by fitness industry veteran Jeff Marlow, who built and operated 11 athletic clubs and 2 martial arts studios, the gym combined expert coaching, community, and a passion for helping people build strength and confidence through boxing.

Our history

As Portland City Boxing grew, the gym moved into a larger downtown Portland facility, offering expanded training space and premium amenities including locker rooms, showers, towels, hand wraps, boxing gloves, and secure building access. The move marked a major milestone in the gym's growth and commitment to member experience.

Our history

As our community continued to grow, Portland City Boxing expanded its class offerings and coaching team, creating more opportunities for members to build strength, confidence, and skill through boxing and fitness training.

Our history

To meet growing demand, Portland City Boxing expanded its facility, adding a professional boxing ring, more than 20 heavy bags, stationary bikes, ellipticals, and additional training equipment. The expansion helped establish the gym as one of Portland's premier destinations for boxing and fitness training.

Our history

Portland City Boxing entered a new phase of growth with a revitalized coaching team and the return of founder Jeff Marlow. Alongside new management, the gym strengthened operations, enhanced the member experience, and continued building a thriving boxing and fitness community in downtown Portland.

Our history

As membership continued to grow, so did our coaching team. Portland City Boxing expanded its staff to include a diverse group of trainers with a wide range of experience and educational backgrounds in fitness and combat sports. United by a passion for boxing, kickboxing, and fitness, our coaches remained committed to helping members build confidence, improve their health, and develop real fighting skills in a supportive training environment.

Our history

Portland City Boxing expanded beyond traditional classes by launching corporate team-building programs. Companies including Nike, Adidas, and other local non-profit organizations partnered with the gym to strengthen teamwork, communication, and camaraderie through the challenge of boxing-based fitness training.

Our history

Portland City Boxing expanded to a new Southeast Portland location at 3228 SE 21st Avenue. Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and the closure of the downtown gym, the community remained strong through virtual and outdoor training programs.

Our History

After years of co-ownership, Portland City Boxing became solely owned and operated by Jeff's daughter Julianne. This transition reflects Julianne's ongoing dedication to the continued growth of the gym, supporting its members, and strengthening its role as an inclusive home for boxing and fitness in Portland.
