Brandon Montella – Boxing Head Coach

Brandon Montella is a former U.S. Marine who has always pushed himself to new limits, both physically and mentally. During his time in the Marine Corps, he rose quickly through the ranks, earning the title of Sergeant in under three years. His experience instilled discipline, resilience, and the belief that “every goal has a way,” values that have guided him ever since.

After leaving the military, Brandon pursued a successful corporate career but felt called to serve others through fitness and challenge himself once again. At the age of 31, he became an ACE-certified personal trainer and took up boxing, proving his philosophy by winning three tournaments, including the New England Golden Gloves, within his first year of training. He went on to compete professionally, retiring undefeated with a 9-0 record and 8 knockouts.

Beyond competition, Brandon has dedicated himself to coaching, running a boxing gym with his wife for over a decade while training athletes of all levels, from charity fighters to Golden Gloves champions to professionals competing on major promotions. He also finds passion in obstacle course racing, ultra running, and mentoring athletes and community members alike through their toughest challenges.

Brandon is a committed husband, father, and leader in his community. He is the Executive Director of Mission Ready, a nonprofit supporting youth and veterans, and continues to live by his motto: “Together we are limitless.”
