ICOR is not your run-of-the mill fitness boxing gym. ICOR Boxing is Iowa City's longest operating USA Boxing registered amateur boxing club. We are fully accredited and insured. Since ICOR's inception, our competition team members have won well over 30 state, regional, national, and international championships. We have also helped hundreds of people learn the Sweet Science and other disciplines, while getting in shape and gaining confidence.

Even though the vast majority of our members do not compete, we teach boxing and other disciplines as if we were preparing you to fight in the ring. Classes are highly focused on teaching proper technique. Unlike other fitness boxing gyms, you will learn precise offense, defense, and footwork all while getting a great workout. We will not just yell at you while you flail your arms and legs at the bags in a desperate attempt to "burn calories" while risking injury due to inadequate technique. We are not that gym.

At ICOR, we believe real growth comes from stepping outside your comfort zone. Whether your goal is to compete, get in shape, or simply push yourself mentally and physically, we treat every member with the same respect and focus. You’ll be challenged, supported, and taught the fundamentals of boxing the right way, with attention to detail, discipline, and control. Our environment is tough but welcoming, and our community is built on mutual encouragement, not ego. If you're serious about learning the Sweet Science, not just going through the motions, ICOR is where you belong.
