About this gym
Founded in 2007 by Khali Sweeney, Downtown Boxing Gym (DBG) is a youth program on Detroit's east side that pairs academic support with boxing training to help students build confidence, resilience, and life skills. DBG became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2011 and moved into its current 27,500 sq ft building at 6445 E Vernor Highway in 2015. The program reports a 100% graduation rate among participants since inception and has served 1,500+ students to date. Enrollment is currently full and the program is not offering tours to prospective students or families at this time; it operates as an application/enrollment-based youth service rather than a public, pay-to-join fitness facility.
