Founder story - Nathan Kirk
Frontier Boxing Gym was founded by Nathan Kirk, a former professional boxer with a lifelong passion for the sport and a strong belief in what boxing gives people beyond the ring. After years competing and training across different levels, Nathan saw how boxing builds confidence, discipline, resilience, and community – not just for fighters, but for anyone willing to walk through the door.
Nathan’s vision was simple: a welcoming gym where everyone feels supported, whether their goal is to get fitter, learn a new skill, build confidence, or compete at the highest level. As head coach, he brings experience, structure, and a calm, encouraging approach to every session.
