Joseph Pelletier
Joseph Pelletier IV – Coach Joe as everyone calls him – is more than just a boxing coach, he’s a living testament to the transformative power of the sport. Rooted in a family lineage of boxing champions, Joe’s passion was ignited at a young age. Guided by his Golden Gloves-winning father and grandfather Pépé – a seasoned coach - as well as his Silver Gloves-winning uncle Tony, Joe has been immersed in the world of boxing his entire life. “I got the fire and passion from Dad and Pepe but humility and quiet calm from Tony.”
With a wealth of experience and certifications under his belt (Level 2 Boxing & Barbells, USA Boxing Coach, RockSteady Parkinson’s Boxing Coach, Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Strength Training Coach, Sports Performance Specialist, ACE Special Olympics Inclusive Fitness Training Instructor) and the title of co-owner of Boxing & Barbells, Coach Joe uses a unique approach incorporating elements of four different boxing styles and a non-ego driven format that provides a well-rounded and highly effective training experience.
Beyond his technical skills, Coach Joe is a true agent of change. Having faced his share of personal tragedies and setbacks, he understands the profound impact fitness can have on one’s life. His mission is to empower individuals of all levels to reclaim their health and well-being. “I train the humble warrior. You must starve the ego to feed the soul and grow your fight IQ.”
