When Angela Simmons steps into the gym, she means business. The daughter of hip-hop legend Rev Run, fashion entrepreneur, mother, and all-around powerhouse has been known for keeping her body in incredible shape and one of her go-to methods is boxing training right here at BoxWithSimmy in Lower Manhattan.
Angela has trained with me, Coach Simmy, multiple times and every session she shows up ready to work. If you've seen her stunning body transformation that went viral and had people saying "You Bodied Us" boxing is a big part of how she got there and stays there. The photos and videos proves it.
Who Is Angela Simmons?
If you don't already know Angela Simmons, here's the quick rundown: she's the daughter of Rev Run from the legendary hip-hop group Run-D.M.C., and she rose to fame on the hit MTV reality show Run's House alongside her family. Since then, she's built an impressive empire of her own co-founding Pastry Footwear (which generated over $75 million in cumulative sales), launching Simmons Beauty, a vegan skincare line, and appearing in Growing Up Hip Hop.
Beyond business, Angela is deeply committed to health and wellness. She's been open about her fitness journey, inspiring millions of followers to prioritize their bodies and minds. And when it comes to working out, she doesn't play around.
Why Angela Simmons Keeps Coming Back to Boxing
Angela's fitness routine includes everything from Pilates and yoga to spinning and strength training. But boxing keeps rising to the top and there's a very good reason for that.
Boxing is one of the most effective full-body workouts on the planet. In a single session, you're building:
Cardiovascular endurance, you'll burn serious calories while keeping your heart healthy
Upper body and core strength, every punch engages your shoulders, arms, chest, and abs
Coordination and agility, footwork and combinations sharpen your reflexes and body awareness
Mental focus and confidence, there's nothing like learning to throw hands to build your self-assurance
Stress relief, punching a bag is one of the best ways to release tension after a long day
For a busy entrepreneur and mom like Angela, boxing delivers maximum results in minimum time. Every round, every combination, every drill has a purpose, and you leave the gym feeling like you actually accomplished something.
What Training at BoxWithSimmy Actually Looks Like
At BoxWithSimmy, every session is personalized. I'm Coach Simmy a professional boxing trainer based in Lower Manhattan at 139 Fulton St and my approach is simple: meet you where you are, push you to where you want to be.
When Angela trains, we work on real boxing technique not just throwing punches for the sake of it. We build skills. A typical session includes:
Dynamic warm-up and mobility work
Footwork and stance drills
Boxing combinations, jab, cross, hook, uppercut, and beyond

Boxing Is for Every Body
One of the things I love most about boxing as a fitness tool is that it doesn't discriminate. Men, women, beginners, athletes, young people, older adults, boxing works for everyone. It's not about fighting. It's about using the sport to become the strongest, most confident version of yourself.
Angela Simmons gets that. She trains not to fight, but to feel powerful, stay disciplined, and keep her body in peak condition. That's the same energy we bring to every session at BoxWithSimmy.
