This isn’t a trend. This is who we are. ♟️🥊

Since 2018, we’ve been teaching our youth that every move matters—inside the ring and in life.

Think ahead. Stay disciplined. Move with purpose.

Year after year.
Move after move.
We’re still here. Still building. Still serving our community.

Today, we recognize the journey and commitment of Dominic “Dom” Solano, a third-year Physical Therapy student at Rosalind Franklin University. 🥊

As part of his final project, Dom will lead a strength and power training program for our young boxers. His academic preparation, dedication, and passion for helping others have inspired him to turn his knowledge into an opportunity to support the growth of our community.

Through this project, Dom wants our youth not only to become stronger athletes, but also to train safely, intelligently, and with their future in mind. His work represents a student using his education to create a positive impact inside and outside the ring.

Thank you, Dominic “Dom” Solano, for your commitment, leadership, and willingness to share your knowledge with our youth.

A great gym trains boxers. A great organization protects their future. 🥊

For more than two years, Angels Boxing Academy and Rosalind Franklin University have worked together to provide our youth with injury prevention, physical wellness support, and access to professionals who can guide them when something doesn’t feel right.

Today: Injury Prevention
Tomorrow: Strength & Conditioning
Coming soon: Free physical exams

ABA has one of the strongest boxing coaching teams around—but our commitment goes far beyond the ring. We build partnerships with leading universities and professionals to protect, strengthen, and create new opportunities for our youth.

This level of support isn’t something you find at just any gym in Lake County.

Thank you to Dr. Jeff Damaschke and the Rosalind Franklin University team for continuing to walk alongside us.

Our youth deserve the best—and we will continue working to bring it to them.

Some of the toughest fights never happen in the ring—and they often go unseen.

This Su***de Prevention Month, let’s check in, listen and remind one another that asking for help is an act of strength.

To our youth, families, coaches and community: You matter. Your life matters. We’re in your corner.

If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Free, confidential help is available 24/7.

Swipe. Read. Share. One conversation can change everything.

THIS IS WHAT A TEAM LOOKS LIKE. 🥊

Today didn’t go as planned. We were ready to head to Indiana to compete, but plans changed.

So we turned the change into an opportunity.

An opportunity to eat together, laugh, have fun, and create memories.

Because a youth organization isn’t just about practices, programs, or competition. It’s about creating the moments our young people will remember long after the gloves come off.

Many of the young people in these photos train, compete, coach, and help lead the next generation at ABA.

Today, they simply got to be young and enjoy the team they’ve helped build.

This is bigger than one fight.
This is how you build a team.
This is how you build community. 🥊

WHO ARE YOU REALLY FIGHTING? 🥊

Not every fight happens in the ring.

Anxiety.
Insecurity.
Your own thoughts.
Your ego.
Exhaustion.
Sadness.

And you still show up.

You wrap your hands.
You put on the gloves.
You get to work.

Because some victories don’t come with a trophy.

Sometimes the victory is simply refusing to quit.

🥊 GUNS DOWN. GLOVES UP.

🥊 AFTER SCHOOL, EVERY HOUR MATTERS.

Not every young person participates in school sports or activities, but every young person deserves a place where they can stay active, develop discipline, and feel like part of a team.

That’s why Angels Boxing Academy is opening a new boxing class:

👥 Youth ages 13–17
⏰ 4:00–5:00 p.m.
📅 Monday through Thursday
🥊 Classes begin October 5

We want young people to have a safe place to go after school, a positive routine, and something that motivates them throughout the week.

It’s not just about keeping them busy. It’s about giving them direction, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

⚠️ REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
Limited spots available.

🥊 WE BUILD CHAMPIONS.
