Who am I?
My name is Laurie Gold - but most people call me LG.  I am pleased to offer a fitness boxing program to the people of mid-coast Maine.  

What will I learn at RisingTide Boxing?
Skills covered during Intro to Boxing/Beginner Boxing will include learning and practicing punch names and numbers, establishing proper form in stance, guard, body movement and learning to breathe! Even if you have boxed before elsewhere, Intro/Beginner is a good place to start for review before jumping into intermediate classes.   Experienced boxers are welcome in Boxing Workout  - when you register, let me know your previous experience and I can give you advice on which class to start with.

What Comes Next?
A "typical" 60-minute Boxing Workout class will  involve warm-up drills and bag work, target-based mitts and gloves punch and movement combos with a partner (the majority of the class), followed by abs and a cool down/stretch. You will learn something new at every class. Students will be paired with someone of similar stature and ability and work together on safe drills for maximum effect. And maximum fun!

My strengths lie in coaching proper boxing technique and creating a multi-faceted, high-energy workout suitable for all levels. Whether you are taking Intro to Boxing as a beginner or Boxing Workout as an intermediate boxer,  we know that everyone learns and progresses differently. As such a variety of training methods will be used to accommodate all skill sets and fitness levels.

More About Me
My 26-year plus background in the sport, at a fitness, non-competitive level, includes 20+ years as a fitness trainer, with 13 of those years as gym owner in Portland, OR.  I started taking classes at a big-box gym in Tampa, FL and quickly became "hooked!"  As a beginner trainer, I helped coach classes in a college intramural setting and found that I loved teaching as much as training.  When I moved to PDX in 2006, the opportunity to own a gym just kind of happened. While I never competed, I have sparred before and I have coached for exhibition-style sparring at my previous space, Sweet Science Boxing.  Our free community events were quite popular. Sadly, that business closed in August 2020, but evidence lives on in the form of Instagram @sweetscienceboxingpdx and YouTube SSBoxingPDX

I look forward to meeting you.  
Love, LG
