TRAIN WITH A WORLD-RANKED PRO
Real Boxing Training with a World-Ranked Pro in Rancho Santa Margarita
Gary “Boom Boom” Ballard is a former world-ranked professional who runs this academy to offer the kind of boxing training you just won't find at a standard fitness gym. We help you build strength and mental resilience using the same techniques the pros use. Whether you are looking for youth fundamentals or our certified Rock Steady Boxing program for Parkinson’s, you will find a supportive community here that values hard work and real progress.
Why We Do Things Differently
Moving beyond the typical vendor relationship
A Partnership Built on Trust
Most companies are happy to just check boxes and move on to the next client. We take a different approach because we know that real growth requires a deeper level of commitment. We take the time to learn the nuances of your industry and the specific hurdles your team faces every day. This allows us to provide solutions that feel like a natural extension of your own business rather than an outside addition.

Practical solutions for real growth
Results You Can Lean On
We believe in being direct about what we can achieve together. You won't hear us making empty promises or using buzzwords to hide a lack of substance. Instead, we focus on delivering consistent work that helps your business grow. Our team is dedicated to providing the kind of support that gives you total confidence in your strategy and your future.


This isn't just a gym. We are a boxing academy focused on getting you exactly where you want to be.
Get Strong at Ballard Boxing
Come train with a community that respects hard work and real technique. We offer everything from elite competitive coaching to therapeutic classes for our South Orange County neighbors. With forty years of boxing experience behind us, we have the tools to help you see real progress. We can't wait to get started.
