ARC (HA) Boxing Club is on Ajmera Main Road in Pimpri Colony, Pimpri-Chinchwad. It holds a 4.3 rating from 52 Google reviews. This is not a gym with a boxing corner. It's a boxing club, and the reviews are almost entirely about one thing: the coaching.
The Coach Is the Product
A member in July 2019 laid out the club's claim: "This is oldest boxing club in pcmc. The club has trained international boxers." That member names the coach as Balwant Surve and describes him as carrying a lot of experience.
A more recent member calls it the "best in the pimpri Chinchwad," says the coach teaches "great boxing with good decipline," and specifically recommends it for kids.
So the pitch is lineage and discipline, not facilities. Nobody reviewing this club talks about machines, and that tells you what you're buying.
The Complaint Worth Reading
A one-star review from a year ago goes the other way, hard. It names a boxing teacher and says their "behaviour is not good.its too arogant," ending with "don't join this boxing academy..it's totally waste of money."
That's one voice against 52 ratings averaging 4.3, and the name in the complaint isn't the coach the positive reviews praise. Whether that means there are multiple instructors and your experience depends on which one you get, I genuinely can't tell you from the record.
If you're enrolling a child, it's worth asking who is actually taking the sessions.
Hours: Read These Carefully
This timetable is the most irregular on this list, and turning up at the wrong hour is easy:
- Monday: 05:00 to 09:15
- Tuesday: 05:00 to 17:00
- Wednesday to Thursday: 06:00 to 09:00
- Friday and Saturday: 06:00 to 09:00, then 16:30 to 18:30, then 18:40 to 20:30
- Sunday: not listed
Wednesday and Thursday are morning-only, three hours each. Friday and Saturday split into three separate blocks. Tuesday runs twelve hours straight.
There's no obvious logic to it from the outside, which almost certainly means these are batch timings rather than open-floor hours. Call before you build a week around them.
