Ed Modicue Gym Ribbon Cutting and Open House

Join us for a special ribbon cutting as the City of Monroe, the Town Of Richwood and the Ouachita Parish Police Jury join in celebrating this new gym in Monroe! This gym will serve many people, but specifically targets at risk youth. 
At Ed Modicue Boxing Gym of Monroe, we’re more than just a gym — we’re a place where youth and adults alike can build self-confidence, mental strength, and physical health. Our mission is to empower our community by helping individuals believe in themselves, discover discipline, and improve their well-being through fitness and boxing.  This gym is especially dedicated to our youth. We aim to instill confidence, discipline, and self-respect in a structured, supportive environment. We teach that fighting is not about violence — it’s about self-control, preparation, and knowing you are capable and not easily intimidated or bullied. Health and fitness shouldn't feel like punishment. At our gym, we teach that nutrition can be enjoyable and sustainable. You don’t have to give up your favorite foods — like pizza, ice cream, or fried chicken — to be healthy. We’ll show you how to enjoy food with balance and portion control, so you can eat well without guilt. Over time, these habits become second nature.  Our workouts focus on strengthening and toning the body while building endurance and confidence. You’ll leave each training session feeling stronger — physically and mentally. Whether you want to learn how to box, get fit, or simply build a better version of yourself, we’re here to support you. 
At Ed Modicue Boxing Gym of Monroe, “Everybody is Somebody.” You will be taught that you, too, can become a Champion. 
Visit us at: 1206 Standifer Avenue, Monroe, Louisiana 
Open Monday - Friday, 2:00 PM – 8:00 PM
