Hands down the best fight gym in the Tulsa area! The coach/staff are very friendly and supportive: (which is rare in the world of boxing gyms.) they have good equipment, and the gym is always very clean. Prices are reasonable, and they have amazing veterans discounts.
The workouts are tough but not to the point of injury, there isn’t pressure/rush to make people spar, unlike some gyms. Whether you are looking to get in shape, learn “the sweet science for self defense, or become a world champion; Lions Den is absolutely the best place to go in the 918!!

If you want to truly learn the art and science of boxing in an environment where the coaches care about you as an individual this is the place to go! We looked at three other boxing gyms and actually tried Forza Combat Muay Thai Boxing and no others compared to the personalized attention you get here. Coach Steve and Jalyssa are the best!

I’ve been going to this boxing gym for about a year and a half and love it! When I first walked in at 47 years old I had never boxed and had very little knowledge of boxing. I felt like a fish out of water but it didn’t take long to realize this is where I wanted to be. All skill levels are welcome here. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, train to step in the ring or want something in-between you can get it all here. Coach Steve will start you with the basics and take you as far as you want to go. No egos, just good people of all ages looking to improve themselves. This gym has circuit drills, weights, bag work, mitt work and sparring. Come support this small family business and join a friendly community that will support you in reaching your goals.

Took on the challenge and wasn't sure what I got myself into. Now that I have been working out under direction Coach Steve I find myself very pleased with my results. I like the variety of the workout exercises while learning how to box. This keeps me interested and looking forward to my workouts. Sometimes it does get crowded but it always seem to work out just fine. Sometimes it can be challenging to remember all the moves but eventually I will have it down, I have a powerful punch for a 65 yr old lady..now I just need to float like butterfly and sting like a bee. Lol! When I meet me goal I'm throwing them the 5 star!! Thanks Lions Den! I support you!!

Lions den is a nice family gym. If you are looking for a great workout you can definitely get it there. If you want to be a serious fighter they can do that also

Steve’s attention to detail is second to none. No matter what level you’re at, he can adjust accordingly. I’d give The Lion's Den 10 stars!!
