For fifteen years, Element has trained Saint Paul at the highest level in the state — premium coaching, real results, and a community that has your back. A new home opens on West 7th this fall.
From a single ring to a historic brewery. Tap through the moments that built Element.
At 23, St. Paul native and former pro boxer Dalton Outlaw founded Element on Prior Avenue with a single conviction: that world-class boxing belonged to his city — and that no one should be priced out of it. It grew into a hub for empowerment — adding strength, yoga, wrestling, and wellness, plus scholarships and pay-what-you-can access so cost never closed the door. People don't just come to work out; they come to belong, to grow, and to be part of something bigger.
Element is led by a husband-and-wife team that balances the discipline of the ring with the care of a community built to last.
A St. Paul native and former professional boxer who started Element at 23. Trainer, entrepreneur, and community builder — the heartbeat behind the gym and its mission of access and opportunity.
