Elite has evolved into what it is today because of our members and Mark's DREAM to be the best and the BADDEST gym around!

The gym started with the concept of being for fighters and people wanting to compete in boxing or MMA. Mark had goals from the very beginning.  But he also knew there was a need and want for his style of coaching and fitness classes.  After much encouragement from family and friends, Mark started the journey of opening ELITE BOXING ACADEMY.  

Mark has a strong background in all mixed martial arts and a deep love for boxing.  Mark's love of MMA and boxing stemmed from his Uncle Berto and the countless hours he was in his Florida gym.  He continues to draw inspiration from his Uncle and the memories they created along with his cousin Edson, who continues the legacy at TIGERS WORLD.

The doors for ELITE BOXING ACADEMY finally opened on January 18, 2016! But that was only the beginning.  Mark never stopped dreaming and coming up with new ideas, and after 5 years of grinding, Mark opened up his new facility on 1st St.  He tripled his space, and with only a few months in the new space he is already feeling like he out grew it.  

To say he did this on his own is beyond laughable! Mark's enthusiasm is contagious and SO many people have helped on this journey. It truly does take a village and he wouldn't have it any other way.  Mark's love of people is partly what sets him apart.  It's hard not to feel like your part of the family after you meet him.
