PAST JOURNEY
For Sheri, Pittsburgh Punch has been her outlet to “snappin’ necks and cashin’ checks!”
A full –time professional and mom of two, Sheri discovered her passion for boxing eight years ago when she realized how unleashing on a heavy bag or the choreography of hitting mitts helped empower her to feel stronger, more confident and reduced her stress on a daily basis. Combining sexy beats with her silly, bad a** attitude,
Sheri invites you to come have fun, punch it out, sweat it off and leave ready to accomplish anything!

Codi Lee (aka) cardio killer
Boxing/Kickboxing Instructor
PAST JOURNEY
I was off work one day and decided to take a boxing class. I came into Pittsburgh punch with my cousin and we instantly loved it. I was starting my personal training classes when Anthony asked if I would like to teach a class. I said absolutely! I love helping people reach there goals and feel great about themselves while having a fun time!
WHEN YOU’RE NOT PUNCHING
When I’m not punching I’m either helping my clients reach their fitness goals or working at Quest Diagnostics. When I’m not working at all I’m taking care of my lovely wild child Liam! Who keeps me busier than any job.
FAVORITE COMBO
My favorite punch combo is all of the punches put together 1-2-3-4-5-6 ( jab-cross-hook-uppercut-uppercut-hook) . This gets your heart rate up, works your core with all those torso rotations, and you feel like a professional boxer when you add speed and power.
DESCRIBE YOUR PUNCH STYLE
My punch style is HIIT boxing! Throwing punches but adding in cardio to the rounds. Interval training is an amazing workout and helps burns tons of calories, helps build up endurance, and makes you feel amazing when the workout is over !
YOUR DRINK OF CHOICE
My drink of choice is definitely coffee! I cannot go one day without my coffee.
