Built Through Progress.
Kelley "The Truth" Simoneaux is an active adaptive boxer and member of the DPI Adaptive Boxing Club Competition Team.
Her journey into boxing started with fitness. What began as a challenging way to keep her heart rate up evolved into a deeper connection between movement, skill and mindset.
Today, Kelley continues to train and compete, bringing the experience of championship competition back into the DPI gym while continuing to develop as an adaptive boxer.

The Truth in Training
Learn the Sport.
"The connection between movement and mind brought a whole different level of challenge."
Kelley describes boxing as a sport that challenged her physically while opening up an entirely different level of mental engagement.
Through boxing training, she has developed greater balance, strength, endurance and mental fortitude — turning what started as exercise into a competitive pursuit.
Her favorite fighters include Claressa Shields and Amanda Serrano, two athletes she admires for their skill, versatility, championship careers and ability to compete at the highest levels of the sport.
