Reviews 1 — Coach V Boxing

I've only recently started boxing with V. I've always liked the idea of boxing but never felt comfortable enough to start. So glad I started with private boxing sessions and building up my skills step by step. Boxing sessions are now my highlight of the week and an amazing way to switch of and focus just on boxing. V takes the time to explain everything in detail, he's got all the cues and makes every session fun while challenging you physically and mentally which is what I really enjoy

— V.W.

Boxing saved my life. I'll start with that. Coach V has given me this. Coach V is hands down the sweetest, yet stricktest boxing coach around! Not only has he helped me up my game in the ring, but he's also given me the self-discipline to stay on top of my training outside of the gym, both mentally and physically. Thanks to him, I feel more confident and capable than I ever have before. If you're looking for a coach who knows their stuff and can motivate you to reach your full potential, Coach V is your guy.

As a female, I struggled with my confidence to jump into boxing. Coach V has made it nothing but safe and fun from day one. Coach V is more than just a boxing coach, he's also very passionate in regards to self-love and self-respect. Through his guidance and motivation, I've not only improved my boxing skills, but I've also developed a greater appreciation for my body and my abilities. His emphasis on self-love has been a game-changer for me, giving me the confidence to take on challenges I never thought I could handle. I'm grateful to have him as a coach and mentor, and would recommend him to anyone looking to develop both their physical and mental strength.

I have had the pleasure of working with coach V but few have left such a lasting impression. As he has a lot of patience and has a big emphasis on technique and body mechanics. Throughout our time working together, I was continually impressed by his passion giving 100% of his undivided attention, dedication to help others and drive to improve his clients skills set. Whether it is hitting the pads, functional movement drills or strength and conditioning. What really stood out to me was if I didn't quite understand a certain movement or combo, Coach V would break it down into micro steps until you fully understood the combination and mechanics behind it. In summary, I have no hesitation in recommending Coach V A genuine humble human with a big heart always bringing good vibes to any of his sessions.

Coach V's bald head may be his trademark look, but it's his knowlage as a boxing coach is what really sets him apart. As someone who's always been a bit intimidated by the sport let alone fitness, his coaching style made me feel at ease and confident in my abilities. He's pushed me to work hard and develop my skills, all while keeping things fun and engaging. I'm grateful to have him as a coach, and for have him by my side showing me just how far I can go, bald head or not! A solid 11/10 if I had to rate the guy, or as he would say.

I've had the pleasure of having V as my coach for just over 1 year, and in that short time he's had a massive impact on both my boxing, confidence and mental well-being • Every session he brings his all, tailoring his approach to where I am at that day. Wether that is going slower to calm my nerves and talking me through what's going on my mind, to pushing me beyond what I thought I could physically and mentally do. I never thought I'd fall in love with a sport, let alone boxing, and it's due to the coaching, support and motivation that is infectious in his approach. I cannot recommend Coach V enough to everyone I talk to. He's kind, dedicated to his craft, attentive and above all, a fantastic person. He's helped me build confidence in my abilities both inside and outside the ring, and by looking around the gym many others share that view. Thank you.

I never would have thoughtthe girl who hid from the gym for 12 years, would end up adoring it so much now. Coach V dose an amazing job at both challenging you, understanding and being able to ready how to get the best out of me no matter how I might feel walking into any session, as well as always mixing things up so I am always engaged. Our sessions together have dramatically helped my anxiety outside of the gym, as well as the healthiest way to off load and have the outlet for stress. Coach V really helped me find the joy of boxing when everything else felt "icky". From day one, he has always accepted me for where ever I am in life, always been a postivie and stable presense for me. I feel really blessed to have crossed paths with this man as a coach, and a pal. Constantly showing me how much I really am capable of.

"Boxing with Coach V is one of the best decisions I have made for myself in a long time." His approach is incredibly holistic; nothing is ever just about the physical or going through the motions. He concentrates on learning: 1.) Boxing Technique, making sure you understand they "WHY" as well as the how, and 2.) Yourself, ensuring self-discipline and self-love. Coach V is focused on my goals and continually pushes the boundaries of my abilities in just the right way. Each session with Coach V leaves me feeling proud, strong, and motivated to continue on this boxing (and life) journey.

—MEGAN.

I have learnt from a lot of different people in my life and Coach V has been one of the best teachers I've had the pleasure to work with. I always take away a lot from each session with him and everyhting is explained in a technical, holistic and relatable manner. He's very aware of his clients skill level, strengths and weaknesses which really puts the personal in personal training. True professional, and all around great guy.

"I just have grateful words to express how happy I am in Good Vibes Boxing Gym." It was the most gorgeous and unexpected sport choice I've ever had; safe and happy place, where I can find physical and mental challenges in 45 min. Enough time to keep me on positive energy during my whole day . I would like to express my gratitude for all coaches, especially Coach V who shares all of his passion for the art of boxing and always challenges me to try and do and be the best in each session with his energy and support. Only GOOD VIBES, and smiles from ear to ear :)

It is a privilege to be able to train with v. Something I've struggled to find in a coach is someone who can not only show you how to do something, but explain why. This man is all about levelling up and doesn't accept anything less. If I'm not getting something, he'll find another way to help me understand how to apply a new skill. The duality he has in his enthusiasm for teaching and his ability to be open and understanding is what makes him a true "coach" and not a regular trainer. I'm thankful for V and the love for training he's brought back to me. Couldn't rate the man with the gleaming head any higher.

I first met V when I was training for the corporate rumble, so about a year ago. Sparring wasn't going so well. V broke everything down for me, calmed me down and the started building it back up again. Having worked in the fitness industry for over 20 years, I am a tough critic. I love my boxing sessions, it is one of the highlights of my week. I really enjoy learning and improving my boxing skills. Every week is different, challenging and so much fun! V is a brilliant coach - paitent and a fabulous human. I am so thankful that our paths crossed.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Coach V for over 4 years and in this time I have seen him evolve from a shy cameraman into an excellent coach! His dedication to boxing is outstanding and he brings knowledge, skill and guidance to all that come in contact with him. I personally love the classes he takes at Good Vibes - they always challenge you and you can't beat the friendly banter between coach and student!

— SUPD.

The real charm of boxing is not about skill or winning or losing, it's about the group of people who accompany me to fight. And V is the person who leads His teaching methods vary from person to person, so during class, he observed my situation first and then make a plan for me. Of course, he also asked for my opinions, such as the intensity and direction of training. Words can no longer describe my gratitude to him. He taught me more than just boxing. Thank you for his patience and encouragement..

— KATY.

I have learnt so much training with Coach V and our sessions have been nothing short of transformative. He will challenge you but also create a safe space for you to be your authentic self. What sets him apart is that he not only focuses on your physical abilities but also nurtures your mindset, helping you build resilience and to become the best version of yourself. Having had experience with six different coaches, I can confidently say that he stands out as the best. I wholeheartedly endorse him and his coaching approach.

— CHANDEE.

Coach V is one in a million. His love and dedication to the art of boxing and his clients is heart-warming. He is a coach who welcomes you with open arms, an excitement to have fun and the skill of a pro, to help you reach your potential. I'd absolutely recommend him to a friend, or have him in my corner.

— WILL.

I met V nearly 5 years ago, he was shy & learning how to box. Fast forward to now & he's become one of the most entertaining & engaging boxing coaches in Perth. His passion for the sport is obvious & his preparation prior to every boxing class he takes at Good Vibes is impressive. His energy is always high & communicates different combos very well. It's not easy to create boxing classes with a lot of variety but Coach V does this every time.. Whether you are a beginner or have been boxing for years, he'll ensure you are learning something new in his sessions.

I had been wanting to add boxing to my training for basketball for a while but was always looking for the right coach and I'm thankful that I was put in contact with v. I had in my mind what I thought I would get out of boxing but V has exceeded everything I thought that I would get from boxing. I am thankful for V pushing me both physically and more importantly mentally to become a better version of myself overall.

I've been there from the start of V's coaching journey and it's been so cool to see how much he's grown over the years. His passion is second to none - he lives and breathes boxing! In V's classes you can expect to learn something new, improve your technique and smash some spicy combos. The classes are always well thought out and can be modified to suit everyone so don't stress if you're new to boxing, Coach V's got you and he will make sure you have a great workout!

— LEAH.

I've never been one to harp on about how much better my gym or coach is than yours..but this one needs a mention. Vis the epitome of "good vibes", even at the crack of dawn. He makes time for everyone as they're walking into the gym, and nothing tokenistic either, he knows his crew and makes it his business to have a proper chat or laugh to bring the energy before a class even begins. As someone who only ever joined for a good workout, V makes me want to be better and improve my skills, and knows exactly what to say to bring the competitive streak out in me! He remembers the little things that each of us need to work on individually, even though there could be 10-20 people working out at one time. Aside from having a laugh, getting a cracking workout and feeling constant improvement, I've seen him bring newbies into the fold and take great care to make them feel safe and welcome, which is why this is one that I can't recommend enough.

I've had the pleasure of working with V for many years, over which I have been gifted many lessons in the art of boxing. It has been truly amazing to witness his growth over that time, transitioning from a fellow gym-goer to a coach and commanding the sport with such precision and respect. Ever the man for detail, his sessions are thorough and exciting and you can be sure that you are never doing the same class or PT twice! V is a dedicated and passionate coach who will bring out the best in you and then some. He certainly did for me.

Coach V has been a huge part of my boxing journey, but most importantly makes me feel so welcomed as I walk into the boxing gym. He is always there to put a smile on your face or brighten your day, even if he's just trying to show off his muscles. Coach V has extensive boxing knowledge breaking down every boxing skill into its smaller parts for all levels of learning.

- NIEVE.

Coach V has been an integral part of my boxing journey. His passion and expertise shine through in our one-on-one sessions. As I prepared for my first fight, his guidance was pivotal in honing my fundamental skills, while his friendly banter and engaging conversation kept me motivated. I always look forward to our morning sessions, as his positive energy sets the tone for the rest of my day. Thanks Coach V

FROM DAY ONE WHEN I MESSAGED A SIMPLE "HEY MATE IM LOOKING AT BOXING WITH YOU TO IMPROVE", TO WHEN I BLOW INTO THE GYM WEEKS LATER FROM A DAY OFF OF MY REGULAR TRAINING. HIS GREETING AND FRIENDLINESS NEVER CHANGES, STILL ABSORBED INTO HOW YOU ARE AND WHATS BEEN HAPPENING. HIS LOVE FOR BOXING AS A WHOLE IS UNPRECEDENTED, THE TEACHING STYLE IS NOTHING BUT LOVE. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, HIS MOTTO "ITS MORE THAN JUST BOXING" IS TRUELY MORE THAN JUST BOXING. WHEN YOU TRAIN YOUR NOT JUST TRAINING YOUR BOXING BUT YOUR MIND, HE BETTERS YOU FIRST AND BOXING SECOND. MY ONLY REGRET IS I DONT TRAIN WITH HIM MORE.

- ZANE.

FROM THE MOMENT WE MET V, WE IMMEDIATELY FELT WELCOME BOTH IN THE GYM AND INTO THE WORLD OF BOXING. FOR CONTEXT, I HAVE BEEN DOING "BOXERCISE" FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND APPROACHED COACH V FOR SOME SELF DEVELOPMENT BUT I ALSO DECIDED IT WOULD BE A GOOD BONDING EXPERIENCE FOR MY HUSBAND AND I. V IS THE MOST ACCOMODATING, FRIENDLY AND THOROUGH COACH I HAVE EVER MET. HE REALLY TAKES THE TIME TO EXPLAIN THE "WHY" BEHIND TECHNIQUES, MOVEMENTS AND STANCES BUT ALSO GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE YOUR OWN CRITICAL THINKING TO CULTIVATE BEING A SMART ATHLETE. EVERY TRAINING SESSION I CAN SEE V WORKING TO EACH OF OUR STRENGTHS WHILE ALSO GIVING US HIGHLY INDIVIDUALISED FEEDBACK. WE ARE PUSHED TO OUR ABSOLUTE PHYSICAL LIMITS BUT NOT IN AN IMPOSSIBLE WAY - I MEAN, WE KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE! V KEEPS THINGS TOUGH IN A LIGHT HEARTED WAY AND IS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS. TRAINING WITH V HAS CHANGED OUR LIVES FOR THE BETTER. WE ARE BETTER ATHLETES, BETTER SPOUSES AND BETTER PEOPLE.

I HAD BEEN WANTING TO ADD BOXING TO MY TRAINING FOR BASKETBALL FOR A WHILE BUT WAS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT COACH. I'M THANKFUL THAT I WAS PUT IN CONTACT WITH V. I HAD IN MY MIND WHAT I THOUGHT I WOULD GET OUT OF BOXING BUT V HAS EXCEEDED EVERYTHING I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD GET FROM BOXING. I AM THANKFUL FOR V PUSHING ME BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MORE IMPORTANTLY MENTALLY TO BECOME A BETTER VERSION OF MYSELF OVERALL.

- JACOB.

I TRIED A FEW DIFFERENT TRAINERS BEFORE I MET COACH V. IT WAS V'S ENERGY, MINDSET AND HIS ABILITY TO ARTICULATE TECHNIQUES THAT MADE ME STICK AROUND. I ALWAYS ENJOY OUR PHILOSOPHICAL CHATS, BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS, LAUGHS AND HE ALWAYS TESTS ME MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY AND HAS ME WALKING AWAY FEELING EXHAUSTED BUT ACCOMPLISHED. P.S. DON'T TELL HIM YOU'VE SKIPPED A GYM SESSION. YOU'LL REGRET IT.
