Meet the Coach

Hector Saez is the owner and head coach of Bring It Back Boxing and Fitness in Denver. Originally from New York City, Hector has lived in Colorado since 1992 and brings decades of real-world experience as both a competitive boxer and elite coach.

Growing up, Hector faced significant challenges and adversity. In 1998, he turned to boxing as a way to redirect his life, beginning his boxing career at nearly 30 years old, an age when many athletes are already retiring. Through discipline, hard work, and determination, he quickly rose through the ranks, competing at the national level in the 2002 National Golden Gloves.

Following his amateur success, Hector turned professional and fought as a lightweight, earning 7 knockout victories in 10 professional bouts. In 2007, he stepped away from professional boxing, but his passion for athletics and mentorship never stopped.

From 2007 to 2015, Hector coached youth football for the City of Aurora, dedicating over eight years to developing young athletes, teaching discipline, teamwork, and accountability. While he enjoyed football, boxing remained his true passion.

In 2008, Hector returned to the sport of boxing, this time as a full-time coach. He quickly built one of the most dominant amateur boxing teams in the state of Colorado, earning respect for his technical knowledge, structured training methods, and ability to develop fighters at every level.

Today, Hector is known not only for producing successful competitors, but for creating a positive, disciplined, and supportive gym culture. His coaching philosophy focuses on hard work, respect, confidence, and personal growth, whether training kids, adults, fitness clients, or competitive fighters.
