Head Trainer
My name is Michael Hughes. I’m a 29 year old boxer and trainer. In 2012, I achieved one of my biggest dreams of winning the NY Golden Gloves in Madison Square Garden fighting at 141lbs. From there, I went on to win the 2014 NY Metro Tournament at 141lbs, and in 2016 I became the 152lbs New York Tournament Champion. However, my resume in combat sports starts way earlier than that, at 11-years-old with Tae Kwon Do. That’s right, I knew how to kick before I could punch, haha! Later in high school I got involved with Tiger Schulmann’s MMA (back then it was known as “Tiger Schulmann’s Karate” #oldschool).
My goal with anyone I work with, is to help them maximize their own fitness potential. Boxing and general fitness training can really help you learn a lot about yourself, not only physically, but your mental strength and will power as well. Whether you want to learn self defense, shed a few leftover pounds that have been clinging to you since your last holiday meal, or improve your overall strength and conditioning – whatever your goals are, I’m here to help you reach them!
