Founder of 2 Tone Boxing Club | Father | Mentor | Professional Coach
Coach Evan launched 2 Tone Boxing Club back in 2016, starting with just a handful of 1-on-1 sessions for adults. Since then, it’s grown into a vibrant community of all ages — built around the science, discipline, and life lessons of boxing.
But Evan’s journey didn’t start in the ring. Growing up lacking positive role models — especially male ones — he faced challenges as a kid that carried into his early adult years. That all changed the day he walked into a boxing gym. It gave him structure, accountability, and a clear path forward.
Now, as a father of three boys, Evan is on a mission: To give other young people what he didn’t have — real guidance, real discipline, and a proven system to help them grow into strong, confident, and successful individuals.
Whether he’s working with kids who need a healthy outlet or adults looking to level up, Coach Evan brings passion, purpose, and a no-BS approach to every session. He knows what’s at stake — and he shows up for every person who steps into the gym.

From Cleveland, OH, Coach Nate brings over 16 years of training experience and has been coaching since 2014. A world traveler and performer outside the ring, he has made 2 Tone Boxing Club his home for years, drawn to the camaraderie, mission, and the positive impact the team has on both children and adults learning the sweet science of boxing.
For Coach Nate, boxing is more than a sport—it’s a culture and a lifestyle. He believes the relationships built in the gym become lifelong bonds, and his role as a coach often extends beyond the ring. To many of his athletes, he is a mentor, big brother, best friend, and father figure, instilling confidence and discipline that carries into every aspect of life.
Coach Nate's favorite boxer is Gerald McClellan, a devastating puncher known for defeating Hall of Famers—though Muhammad Ali will always be his GOAT!!
