Juarez Boxing

Juárez Boxing is a fitness studio and training gym for boxers located in the Shops on Montevallo at 4500 Montevallo Road in Birmingham's Crestline neighborhood.

The 1,500 square foot gym was opened in 2013 by former professional boxer Martin Juárez. The business offers individualized fitness training along with basic boxing lessons.

In 2016 Juarez began offering a certified "Rock Steady Boxing" program to help people diagnosed with Parkinson's disease work on exercises that can slow the progression of disease symptoms. He registered the Juarez Boxing Foundation as a 501(c)3 non-profit to solicit charitable funding to offer the classes to more people.

Former Governor Don Seigelman trained with Juárez for a charity boxing match in 2012.
