In 2003, Rey moved to Austin with his family after pursuing a boxing career that took him from Puerto Rico to New York to Las Vegas, where he met and married his wife Susan. They have three great kids - a daughter and 2 sons, and enjoy being a part of the Austin community.

Rey first discovered boxing in Puerto Rico at the age of 13, when his grandfather challenged him to bring his fighting from the streets to the boxing ring. Immediately hooked, Rey began studying the sweet science and developed quickly through the discipline required by serious competition in the sport. Rey fought as an amateur throughout the United States until 1995, when he left competition to focus on his family.

Although he no longer trains for high-level competition, Rey's love for the sport of boxing has never wavered, and when he moved to the area in 2003, he searched for a place where he could continue to be involved in the sport. Upon finding no boxing training facility in Southwest Austin, Rey and Susan decided to open their own gym, where they happily welcome people of all fitness levels to experience the great benefits offered by the sport.

Rey is a certified USA Boxing coach.
