  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- "Daniel C."

    “I moved to Machesney Park for the summer this year with my family and found this gem. Not only are the facilities great - between the open mats and weight training, but the coaching staff is phenomenal. Coach Gus (an active fighter) always motivating and focused. He always knows how to push the students and I could not be more grateful for the time with him albeit limited due to my short stint in the area. Coach Pat (a boxing hall of famer) was the same. Always encouraging me to do more. Always motivating us even when not working with him directly. The coaches see your strengths and know how to push you beyond. My only regret is not having spent more time with them. I look forward to dropping in when visiting in the future. Cheers!”

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐-"Davan V"

    “NICC is truly the best in the business. After training at some of the top gyms in the Northeast & moving to the Midwest, NICC is like no other. The classes are incredibly fun and challenging, and the technical instruction is far superior. I’m so excited to continue my training here!”
