Damien Robinson - Activate F&W Boxing Coach

Born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, Damien’s passion for fitness began at an early age through calisthenics and bodyweight training. That passion eventually led him to enlist in the U.S. Army at just 17 years old, where he quickly learned the true meaning of being “fit to fight.”

During his military service, Damien excelled both physically and professionally, earning multiple awards and medals that reflected his dedication to fitness and discipline. Unfortunately, his military career was cut short after a serious car accident resulted in a broken neck that required surgery and ultimately led to an honorable discharge.

Rather than allowing adversity to define him, Damien discovered a new passion: boxing.

What began as a way to continue exercising soon became a lifelong pursuit. He fell in love with the discipline, intensity, and personal growth that boxing demanded. The direct relationship between hard work and improvement fueled his passion and helped him overcome many of the physical and mental challenges that followed his injury.

Today, Damien has more than 20 years of boxing experience and more than five years of coaching experience. He believes boxing is one of the most effective ways to improve overall fitness while building confidence, resilience, and discipline.

His coaching philosophy extends far beyond punches and combinations. Damien is passionate about helping others improve their physical health, strengthen their mindset, and continue growing mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Whether you’re stepping into a boxing class for the first time or looking to take your training to the next level, Damien’s goal is simple: to help you become the strongest version of yourself.
