Our story

Some gyms are built with money. This one took thirty years.

  1. 1999

    Round 1

    The Cow Palace

    Simon and Hank are sparring partners from rival gyms. They meet Ernie on the road to the Golden Gloves. Three fighters, one obsession.

  2. 2003

    Round 2

    3rd Street

    Simon opens his first San Francisco gym.

  3. 2006

    Round 3

    Polk St Boxing Gym

    The three reunite on Polk Street. Fighters train next to first-timers, boot camps are packed, and Friday Night Fights become a local institution.

  4. 2015

    Round 4

    Hit Fit SF

    Landlord issues close the Polk Street gym. The community does not disappear. The team finds it a new home.

  5. 2024

    Round 5

    The hard one

    The long tail of the pandemic closes the Sutter Street location. For many, that would have been the end of the story.

  6. 2026

    Round 6

    Back on Polk

    GGG Boxing Club opens at 1436 Polk Street, right where it all began. New name. Old-school roots. Same neighborhood.

The original Polk St Boxing Gym welcomed some of the biggest names in combat sports. But what made it special was never the famous names. It was the community.

Good questions

Before your first round.

Do I need any experience?

None. HIIT classes need no experience at all. If you are new to boxing you start in Beginner Boxing, where the focus is on learning proper technique before the pace picks up.

Am I going to get hit?

No. Our boxing classes are non-contact. Intro to Sparring is optional and uses controlled, semi-contact partner drills. Headgear and a mouthguard are recommended there, and if you skip them your drills stay non-contact.

What is the 2-for-1 special?

Two classes for the price of one: $30 total. It is for new members only and both classes need to be used within 14 days of purchase.

Can I cancel my membership?

Yes. Monthly memberships can be cancelled anytime with 30 days notice before your next bill date.

How do I book a class?

The GGG app is the fastest way to buy and book. Prefer to keep it old school? You can buy online without the app too.
