Founder & Head Coach
Adam — Founder & Head Coach
“I opened Toe 2 Toe Boxing so that I could introduce people to the sport I love – Boxing! There are zero judgements here and no need to be intimidated. When you walk in these doors, every workout is designed for you to better yourself, not to impress someone else.”
Adam founded Toe 2 Toe Boxing in Salem in 2020 — and he’s still on the floor wrapping hands, holding mitts, and coaching every age group. Beyond the gym, he leads the Toe 2 Toe Youth Training Center, a non-profit bringing boxing, strength, and lifestyle programs to youth across Marion & Polk County.
“Adam is the kindest, and most encouraging person.”
“Adam is great and the facility is gorgeous!”
The Coaching Team
Every class, coached
From a four-year-old’s first punch combo to competitive team training, every session at Toe 2 Toe is led by a coach — and Open Gym always has a floating coach on the floor.
Youth Coaching
Lil’ Jabbers through Uppercut Crew — keeping kids fun, active, and engaged while building punch combos, balance, and footwork, all while rocking out to music.
Mitt Work & Technique
Combos, defense, and footwork drilled round after round on the mitts — a really good mix of learning boxing skills and a crazy good cardio workout.
Strength & Conditioning
Strength and conditioning is built into every program — laying a foundation of strength and cardio that carries from the kids’ classes all the way to Adult Boxing.
