PAUL USHER

HEAD COACH

Our head boxing coach Paul Usher has been coaching boxing since 2004 and has coached at every level of amateur boxing from female open class championships to the male open class championships!

Apollos Boxing in Bolton opened in 2019 and we started with a brand new unboxed amateur boxing team with all the team having no amateur boxing experience!

In a short space of time we have created a solid amateur boxing team including a six times north west champion and three times national semi finalist also two box cup champions and an Irish box cup champion and Swedish box cup champion.

Along the way we have luckily gained boxers with some experience also from other top local gyms and they have helped build our amateur boxing team!

This is all brilliant but our best achievement is the community we have built up at Apollos Boxing in Bolton!

All this in such a short space of time and this really is just the beginning!"

I was putting off joining a boxing gym for years before I decided to come down to Apollos nearly 3 years ago now when my health started to decline and it was one of the best decision I made. There's an abundance of knowledge here from the coaches and the facilities are really good they've just had the downstairs area expanded. I checked other gyms and there's none like this, when people say a place is like family I usually roll my eyes but this gym is exactly that and I've even got my wife down now. From usher and Mackenzie to Zita there's something for everyone here at all levels and capabilities. Couldn't recommend enough.

Opened up on my personal life to the head coach, totally disrespected me and my family. after my fella being so kind to help for months to walk in the gym and say go home I want people that want to be here (it was his deceased daughter birthday 5 days before and our autistic girl was having her injection, having 5 mins to deal with his day and mental health to do go home cause head coach didn’t like his face on that day) something I don’t think they take seriously is mental health here. if ur face does not fit it doesn’t fit here and this was my safe place with dealing with are mental health as well hoping to give my daughter 21 months old in heaven something to be proud of. that’s how you get treated and also USED ! Be careful what you wish for here because all in one day my dream fell apart

Cant recommend this gym enough. My son moved over from another gym last year and has come on loads. The coaches are knowledgeable, friendly and really good with the kids. So glad we found apollos. Thanks Paul and the rest of the team for your time and dedication with Max.

My son has been attending Apollo's Boxing Gym for over two years, and I honestly cannot recommend it highly enough. Not only has he developed his boxing skills and learned how to defend himself, but also grown so much in confidence and made some fantastic friendships along the way. The gym has become a second family to him. The coaches genuinely care about every child that walks through the doors. They treat them with kindness, patience and respect while encouraging them to be the best versions of themselves both inside and outside the ring. You can see how much time and effort they invest in every single member. The family have created such a welcoming & supportive environment and we're so grateful for everything they've done for our son. If you are looking for a boxing gym where children are encouraged, supported and truly cared for, Apollo's is the place to be.

I’ve only been training here for 4 months, but I’ve really enjoyed my time at the gym. The coaches are friendly, supportive, and always help you improve. Everyone is welcoming, and the sessions are challenging but enjoyable. I’ve already seen a difference in my fitness and boxing skills. I’d definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking to get into boxing.

Absolutely love this place! Paul, Zita and Mackenzie are brilliant – super knowledgeable and down-to-earth. As someone new to boxing, I was a bit nervous, but they made me feel completely at ease from day one. Great vibe, great workouts, and just a really welcoming space. Highly recommend!

I have been training at Apollos for over 2 years now doing 1-2-1 sessions and some classes. The teaching style is excellent. There is lots of focus in building technical skill which is a nice change from most other boxing gyms I have been to. I really felt that everyone cares about eachothers development whether you want to be a competitive boxer or not. The environment is very skills focused and supportive. I have felt very safe sparring here and this has allowed me to develop on areas I want to improve on. There genuinely is a lot of attention to detail here and I think that anyone who trains here will definitely improve.

Been training at Apollos with coach David for a few months and cannot recommend the gym enough, my fitness levels and boxing skills have improved massively. Apollos has a welcoming atmosphere with friendly coaches and members. The gym caters to all abilities and coaches have been brilliant at explaining techniques. David’s been really accommodating, helping me fit in sessions around my busy schedule - best boxing gym around 🥊

Apollos boxing the best in the business, the new gym tops any other I’ve seen or been to. The coaching is on a next level and full of top lads and girls bringing a sick environment, I recommend to anyone looking to get fit or wanting to learn to box.

APOLLO’S BOXING & FITNESS TESTIMONIALS

"After starting with Paul at Apollo’s just 5 weeks ago as a complete novice, I have improved my fitness, motivation and developed a foundation of boxing skills. Paul’s boxing insight, coaching patience and ability to read an individual’s needs is second to none. As a 40 year old boxing fan who had never set foot in a gym, I was initially unsure of what to expect. Paul immediately put me at ease, understood my aims and tailored his approach to suit them. Thanks to Paul my appreciation of boxing skills has grown rapidly and my motivation to learn more and simultaneously get fitter has increased. Thanks to Paul and the team for great 1 to 1’s and classes."

Jamie Patterson

"I have been working with Paul Usher at Apollo Boxing in Bolton for many years now, My Boxing skills for MMA have come on leaps and bounds. Paul also coached me at FCC21 on the defence of my LWW title fight, his knowledge and love for the sport is second to none. I would recommend Apollo’s Boxing to anyone whether just starting or an experienced fighter!"

Lloyd Sweeney

"I’ve been working with Paul Usher for a number of years and couldn’t rate him highly enough. I’ve been competing at the highest level in mixed martial arts and Apollos boxing has helped me develop my skills and take my career to the next level."

Saul Rogers, MMA Fighter

"I have used Apollos to aid both my physical and mental fitness. After being somewhat wary of what I was letting myself in for I was quickly put at ease by the nature of the trainer (Paul) and the program that he planned and put in place."

Jon Corbett

"It was great getting back into at Apollo’s. I’m older, slower and heavier so felt self conscious but there was absolute no need. Usher is so welcoming, friendly, funny and non judgmental that I felt really comfortable immediately. I can feel I’m getting fitter every week and enjoying myself."

Kate Ellison

"Since starting working with Paul just under a year ago, my boxing ability has gone from strength to strength and every session I feel my performance improves. While lockdowns have meant we have had to take time out in the year, in our most recent sessions I feel my ability is the best it has ever been."
