Today we’d like to introduce you to Paul Pelletier.

Paul is a twenty year Navy veteran. During his career, he had the privilege of working with our nation’s Special Forces including seven years working in support of the Navy SEALs. His passion for teaching and physical fitness led him to become an A.F.A.A. Certified personal trainer. Paul states that; “Personal training and boxing is not just about how much you know. It’s about educating people in a way that makes getting in shape enjoyable.”

Paul is the proud owner of Edge Fitness and the Scottsdale Boxing Club, (SBC), a new membership boxing club to help the community find a health and fitness balance through the art of boxing! This new boxing only club will be his second fitness studio in the neighborhood, located on 10810 N. 71st. Pl., Scottsdale, AZ. SBC is in walking distance to Edge Fitness, a private one-on-one and semi-private training studio, which has been serving the community for over 12 years.

The Scottsdale Boxing Club provides an environment that motivates members to work hard while having a blast! According to Paul, “We are strictly a boxing club, a lot of other clubs do MMA as well, but we like the discipline of boxing! What makes us unique is the combination of our patrons; we have members from all walks of life, from professional boxers to people who have never picked up a glove in their life.”

Scottsdale Boxing Club is especially proud of their trainers. The newest member to our training team is Former NABF and IBF Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion Obed “The Fighting Marine” Sullivan. Obed is a 4 year Marine veteran who was on the Marine Corp Boxing Team and inducted into the Marine Corp Boxing Hall of Fame.

He will be teaching classes Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 6:30 am and then again in the evening at 4:30 pm. He is also available for one-on-one training. It is another chance to learn how to box from one of the best coaches in the Valley.
