Mike Carpenter - Student Spotlight

1. When did you join the gym?

January 2019 but I wish I had done it sooner.

2. What got you interested in boxing and what keeps you coming back?

I’ve always enjoyed contact sports and after rehabbing a knee injury I decided to give boxing a try. The biggest thing that keeps me coming back is twofold: first and foremost, the incredible community and the fact that, after most workouts, I can barely make it out of the gym.  

3. What's your favorite punch?

Anything I can land.

4. Which exercise makes you give Coach the stink eye?

All of them.  

5. What are a few of your hobbies?

Horror movies, hockey, football, and hanging with my dog Poe.

My freshmen year of high school I was 4’9 90lb.
