Chris is super passionate about the sport! And you can definitely feel that in his coaching style. Doesn’t matter what your skill level is, you will see an improvement after a few months of training at CAKBF. Would definitely recommend it! Awesome environment too!

Been training with Chris for a couple months, and he’s very specific and accurate on his craft. If you’re looking for a trainer who prioritises proper technique, Chris is one of the best boxing trainers in the area.

Started with Chris just over two months ago with close to no skill or knowledge within the sport but with his great teachings, time and effort he puts in every session has benefited me in many ways and I’m loving the journey. A coach who wants his students to be the best they can be. Highly recommend.

2 months now with Chris and the experience has been amazing. I joined wanting to learn the art of boxing and all things the sport involves. Chris has taught me the fundamentals and made me love the sport even more. Highly recommend if you want a coach who will invest his time in you and genuinely care about your progression.

You won't find a better boxing coach and trainer for the price you pay here. Chris turned my life around with his Boxing programs. I would recommend this to anyone, boy or girl, beginner or experienced.

I’ve been training with Chris for about 6 months now, he’s a great coach for all different types of skill levels and caters to your needs. Chris pushes you to towards your fitness goals and I’ve seen vast improvements from when I first started to where I am now.

If you are a beginner, casual or seasoned boxer this is the right place for you. Chris is an excellent trainer who takes a very personalised and thought-out approach to your session. He takes the time to get to know you, what you are capable of, looking to achieve and spends that time to ensure your progress. Very safe place with good people of different skill and fitness levels. You won't feel out of place or intimidated here. Whether you're looking for something new, want to improve fitness or if you want to fight! Chris will get you there. Update: I am now 10 months into my training at CAKBF and my results and growth have improved tenfold. I am a much more skilled and technical boxer thanks to Chris. Not to mention my fitness and cardio has greatly increased. I wouldn't have been able to achieve any of this without the close, tailored and meticulous work and attention Chris has given me. I appreciate boxing a lot more now and what it has done for me in my total overall wellbeing and sense of personal achievement. I was a newbie when I first started and now I am knocking on the door of being fight ready! All thanks to our trainer Chris.

About Me

Christopher A Kotaridis Boxing and Fitness (CAKBF) was an idea founded under the veil of a statewide lockdown and established in a humble townhome garage once lifted.

Operating inside the niche of personalised group training on-top of good value, great culture and with a little bit of help by word of mouth, the program became ever popular which presented a good problem – more floorspace was needed.

Within a year, CAKBF and the growing list of students housed themselves across two new locations – Knockout Fitness boxing gym in Forest Hill and an updated home studio in Wheelers Hill.

Now, these training spaces allow me to continue to provide the best quality boxing training in Melbourne, regardless of individual aspirations…

From general boxing to boxing fitness and self defence.

From amateur to professional competition.

From weight loss to muscle gain.

…Oh! And did I mention great culture!?

Regardless, CAKBF has you covered.

By Appointment

Life can get busy and that’s why at Christopher A Kotaridis Boxing and Fitness (CAKBF), you choose when and where you would like to train.

Availabilities range from the early morning, right through to the afternoon at Knockout Fitness boxing gym located in Forest Hill… Or in the evening at the well equipped home studio in Wheelers Hill.

As a coach, I believe that both development and enjoyment are maximised when the CAKBF community comes together to learn and work out, so this is encouraged.

…But if private sessions are preferred then this is also most definitely doable.

Bookings are available from Monday to Saturday and all training programs are personalised to each individual in each session.

Now! Where to go from here, you ask?!

The best thing to do is shoot me a text message or email and we can go from there.

Always happy to hear from you!
