Meet the Coaches Behind Stockyards Boxing & Fitness

A coaching team that actually coaches. Nationally certified, boxing-only, and serving West Toronto since 2011.

Our Story

Stockyards Boxing & Fitness has been serving The Stockyards, The Junction, and Etobicoke since 2011, founded by Richard Souce, a former National Amateur Champion and top-ranked professional boxer.

We keep our focus on boxing rather than MMA or muay thai, and that specialization is why the coaching here runs so deep. Over a decade in, we’ve grown into one of the most respected boxing clubs in the province, and we’re proud of the team we’ve built in West Toronto.

Our mission is simple: give youth and adults a safe, clean, positive, and motivating training environment. We use boxing as an avenue to teach our members lifelong fitness, respect, and how to be a positive contributor to society.

Everyone is welcome here. We’re a family-friendly, LGBTQ+ friendly, and senior-friendly club, with parking on site, easy access by public transit, and equipment rentals available.

How We Coach

Our experienced coaches meet every athlete where they are, whether that’s a first class ever or final preparations for a bout. Every coach on the team teaches the same fundamentals: proper stance, movement, punch mechanics, and defence, taught the right way from day one.

Our nationally certified coaches have worked with clients at every level across Canada, from complete beginners and fitness-focused members to amateur boxers and competitive fighters. That range is the point: good coaching adapts to the athlete, not the other way around.
