Meet the coach

Coach Freeman Watkins — a fighter in your corner

A retired boxer from Detroit, Coach Freeman brought a lifetime in the ring to Jackson and built Keep Swinging Boxing & Fitness on a simple creed: when life backs you into the ropes, you keep swinging. He coaches every member personally — youth, adults, and folks taking on diabetes and Parkinson’s alike.
