FRUTOS BOXING
About
My name is Nestor and I have been boxing since I was 8 years old and began training others in 2010. As a child, boxing provided me with a sense of community and helped me to build confidence, discipline, and strength.
Like most first-generation kids, I grew up with the mindset that I was going to have a prestigious career for my family in order to take care of everyone. Boxing was always my passion, but it became more of a side hobby while I pursued what I thought was “right.” I started Frutos Boxing in 2019, continued coaching throughout graduate school, and later integrated boxing into my physical therapy corporation after earning my degree.
Not even a year into practicing in healthcare, God spoke to me about the position that I was in as a physical therapist. He made it abundantly clear through the word and lived out testimony that He is our only healer, that He sends all things (including physical affliction), and that our covenant requires us to return to Him alone in order to be healed. Even though there are some helpful aspects to physical therapy, He brought me to scriptures about being a stumbling block to others with regard to who is truly healing them and that either way, I was taking away from the process that God set up which is to speak through our afflictions and have us return to Him.
It was a painful and heavy decision for a multitude of reasons, but I also felt immense comfort because of this true passion that God placed on my heart as a child in boxing. What I perceived to be “good” in the world was not actually serving Him, but God knew from the beginning what He wanted me to do and it has been a necessary part of my testimony to experience every step.
So, what went from Frutos Boxing to Cornerman PT is now Frutos Boxing again, but with confidence and guidance from Him. I am really grateful and excited to continue sharing this passion of mine with our community as well as to share more of my testimony with anyone who is interested.

Testimonials
I literally drive an hour away to work with this guy! He is such a great coach! As a woman, I have grown impatient with the old school style of coaching that includes yelling and ridiculing. Nestor is patient, tracks with your learning pace, and he gives clear instruction. I'm really grateful I found my coach finally!
- Carrie H.
Nestor is a fantastic instructor with years of experience and a fond love of the sport. Lessons are catered for everyone whether you are new to boxing or more proficient. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to get a good workout, sharpen their sparring skills, or simply become introduced to boxing as a sport and art form.
- Vinny A.
Frutos Boxing is not just a gym to help hone in and develop boxing skills, but provides an environment to grow as a person and allow one to refine their strengths and improve their weaknesses. Coach Nestor takes pride in what he does and has a sincere love for the sport - and this is clearly reflected in his work ethic and discipline.

"Nestor is great guy and an even better boxing coach. I found him by chance while looking for trainers to transition from karate to boxing and I definitely don't regret my decision. I've only worked with him a handful of times but I feel a lot more confident about my basic striking and guarding. His training style is fun but still very detail oriented. Nestor makes it his goal to help improve on your flaws and advance your own style of boxing. Considering his education and knowledge of the body it's refreshing to having a traditionally trained boxer with a modern perspective."
- George W.
"Nestor is the best boxing teacher I've ever had. And I have trained with accomplished boxers at Gleason's in Brooklyn, NY, and at a boxing gym in Los Angeles.
His prices for the attention you receive are absolutely without precedent.
It's the boxing training deal of the decade. No joke."
- Andrew G.
"Good trainer, knowledgeable guy, pleasant personality"
