Co-Founder

Michael Bazzel

Michael Bazzel, better known as Bazzelstrength, is a veteran Strength Trainer with over 25 years of experience in the field. With a passion for strength and conditioning, Mike embarked on his journey in 1993, carving a niche for himself in the industry as a trainer for boxers. He has worked with numerous Amateur and Professional boxers, including World Champions, Top Prospects and Contenders, and has earned a reputation for his unique approach to strength and conditioning. 

The moniker Bazzelstrength came about as a homage to his way of training boxers. The countless sessions in the gym and the tagline "my fight is coming up, I need to get my Bazzelstrength on" showcased just how effective his methods were. 

Bazzelstrength is a "way" of training, not for the simple fitness enthusiast, but for the "fighter survivor" in us all. The training aims to make you the starring cast of the Zombie Apocalypse, pushing you to your limits and beyond. Despite his focus on boxers, Mike has trained numerous clients and members who love Boxing Conditioning, with many attesting to the effectiveness of his training techniques. 

For over two decades, Michael Bazzel has honed his philosophy of strength and conditioning, resulting in an approach that is both unique and highly effective. With Bazzelstrength, the focus is on pushing yourself to the limit and achieving results beyond what you ever thought possible.

Boxing Instructor

Gabriel Cardona

Gabriel’s passion for boxing started at a young age, watching fights with his dad and older brother. He began training around 10 years old and eventually stepped into competition at 16. After taking time away from the sport, Gabriel returned to boxing at 23 and has since competed in 7 amateur bouts representing Aloha Time Boxing.

For Gabriel, coaching is about more than teaching punches and combinations. Boxing has had a tremendous impact on his own life and he enjoys passing those lessons on to others helping members build confidence, discipline, skills and strength both physically and mentally.

When he’s not training or coaching, Gabriel enjoys bass fishing and hopes to take his fishing skills to the ocean one day.

Gabriel is proud to be part of the Aloha Time Boxing team and is committed to giving every member who walks through the doors a great training experience.
