Coach takes in any experience level and gives them a space to train at their own pace with plenty of variety in her classes. If youre looking for a community of strong women, theres supportive ladies at every age. I thought about going to a male-led boxing gym but am grateful I chose to train under Coach Julia. I admired the independent, no excuses approach with the option for more training if needed. If you want to put the work in and take your boxing training seriously, Coach Julia and her helpers set a great example. Shes passionate and works hard to keep the gym open and flexible to your schedule. Since joining the service, AWBC is what I miss most of my daily routine.

I love this place. I never feel awkward, like I do at a regular gym. The coaches are all helpful and knowledgeable, and everyone that Ive been in a class with is friendly and welcoming, which creates a really cool atmosphere. Im mostly in it for the workout, but I love that if I really wanted to get into actual boxing, thats an option too. Would definitely recommend.

Supportive Community of Amazingly Strong Women. I travel from North Austin to come here weekly. I really love the community aspect and the instructors I’ve worked with so far. The classes are always challenging (in a good way) and the instructors are constantly pushing you to do better and are non-judgemental. Same goes for the members. Whether your new or have been there for years everyone helps each other. I only joined last week but I know I’m going to be a long term member. Super happy to have found this place! 💜 For anyone interested in becoming a member I highly recommend taking the introductory class they offer before signing up.

I saw the full page story about this gym in the recent Community Impact. Run by women supporting women focusing on helping each of us to show up and be better, stronger, confident and skilled. I was embraced immediately when I joined the June Boxing Bootcamp. And once it was over, I had already signed up for the next one. I love the fact that this is a real boxing class--not some hipster version. Dont get me wrong--its hard. It challenging. You have to be open to trying new things and willing to not be very good at first but the incremental progress and payoff has been rewarding, especially in a short amount of time. You show up, do your best and no one cares what level you are. They just want you to learn the real techniques and become a better athlete and person. All instructors have been great, knowledgeable, provide great constructive input while still supporting you where you are in that moment. I cant recommend this enough. Do it. You wont regret it. Thanks AWBG!

Nothing but positive and good vibes the minute you walk in. Ive only had the privilege to meet two out of all these beautiful strong women so far but after my first class , I left feeling motivated and excited for whats to come! Friendly and safe environment I would recommend to anyone who is seeking an awesome workout in a safe environment with no judgment and just be able to be your true self.

Love love love what these ladies are doing here. Last August I joined with no experience in boxing and was just looking for a new way to workout.Everyone from the coaches to the other members are so encouraging and uplifting that I enjoy going to class and learning new skills. You can count on a good hard workout every time. I am so thankful that even during social distancing the coaches have continued to ensure we get to keep working out by offering various daily virtual classes that are just as fun and intense as our gym workouts. If you are on the fence about giving it a shot- Id say go for it.

Finding a new gym to join can be intimidating and hard, but after I tried my first class, I was hooked (pun intended - youll see). The environment is extremely friendly and honors self-growth - youre only competing against yourself and not others. The coaches are accommodating for all levels and interests, whether you want to go competitive or just work out cardio and strength. Its not a gym-club hybrid with dark mood lighting and heavy bass; its a no-frills gym that keeps it clean and simple. I come back for 1) the kickass workouts, 2) the diverse, fun, and real people, and 3) the dad rock bops.

It was my first time in, first time being apart of any gym, with no prior boxing experience or knowledge. Usually I might be intimadated or self conscious that I dont know enough, but these ladies really make you feel apart of the team! They are great to work with and have a lot of patience to help you learn regardless of your skill level! I really look forward to going back to Austin Boxing Babes and learning more.UPDATE 5/20/2019: Over a year later and I’m still training in boxing and martial arts. The people at this gym are like family! Going here has improved my confidence and overall well-being!

I joined this gym because I loathe working out but I love playing sports and avoiding men in gyms. Austin Boxing Babes is the perfect combination of those twin passions. Group classes are always fun, motivating, and challenging (but still accessible to people new to boxing / exercise). Getting punched in the face is optional, especially if you pay attention during defensive drills.

I’ve been coming here for over 3 years and highly recommend this gym for any and all women. It’s a hard working, judgement free, empowering, and supportive space. I’m in the best shape of my life and have met some incredible women here over the years.

Let me ask you this-do you ever go to a workout class or a gym and feel intimidated or like you dont belong? Austin Boxing Babes is nothing like what youve experienced. From the very first class I felt encouraged and welcomed not only by the coaches but also by the other members. I look forward to every class because not only do I get a killer workout and become stronger physically, but I also know without a doubt that the amazing ladies at Austin Boxing Babes are making me a better person in general. If you want to unlock not just your bodys potential but also access your inner strength, try Austin Boxing Babes!

Austin Boxing Babes is the best gym for all types of women; all shapes, sizes, age, athletic abilities, and confidence levels. After working out at this gym for 2 years, I no longer recognize the timid person I was the day I first started working out at Austin Boxing Babes. The coaches are caring and are there to make you a better, stronger person from the moment you walk through their door. They work on strength and stamina at a level that will make you feel comfortable, but they also push you harder than ever before to get an amazing workout in.

I really like this gym ... very attentive teachers. For anyone who starts a sport, the support and attention of teachers is very important to help students develop their skills better, and at Austin Boxing Babes I managed to have the confidence that I was looking for and have been increasingly developing my skills in the boxing!

What a great place! I never thought I would love boxing so much, but Boxing Babes has gotten me to be excited to come 3-4 days a week. All the women are wonderful and friendly. Im getting a great workout, meeting new people, and picking up an unique sport.

Austin Boxing Babes is exactly the gym/ workout experience I was looking for upon moving to Austin. A supportive and encouraging group of women who push and build each other. I’m so glad I found this place!

Review №24

Ive been going to Austin Boxing Babes since February 2016, so about 7 months, and I have fallen in love with the gym, the coaches, the community, and the skill of boxing. A friend had told me about the gym, so I decided to sign up for the free trial class. I was welcomed by Julia as I walked in the door for the 6am class. After the first class I went ahead and signed up for a membership, because I was instantly hooked.From there, my addiction to the gym has grown exponentially. I was a ritual 6am class attendee, and I began to form relationships with us regulars. Each class we pushed each other to learn new skills, do one more push up, one more sit up, or execute a skill better. Not only did we push each other through the classes, but we also developed friendships with one another. I knew I would start my day at 6am, laughing with new friends, checking in with each other, and also getting a great workout during the class.As I have had to transition to evening classes with my work schedule, the atmosphere is no different. Each class is unique in its own way, and I have developed new relationships with a new group of regulars. One part I love about the evening classes, is the variety of skill level. Classes will include everyone from first timers to members that have been coming to the gym for years. Everyone at the gym is willing to help one another out, teach, and push one another to develop individually. I have learned just as much working with a beginner boxer as I have working with the advanced boxers, and the welcoming environment allows that learning setting.I never would have guessed I would enjoy boxing as much as I do. It is more than just a workout, but also a way to build self-confidence, release stress, join a community, and overcome personal challenges.

If you want a great workout in a supportive environment, ABB is the place for you! The coaches are very knowledgeable and experienced. They constently motivate you to do your personal best. Boxing can be a very intimidating sport to get into, but I have always felt welcomed and encouraged here. All skill levels are accomodated, from beginner to advanced. ABB also has a competition team that is rockin.

ABB is unlike any gym around. Its not only a gym, its a community where youll find support, laughter and a workout that will kick your butt. After just a few weeks youll feel stronger, more confident and eager to come back. Its the only workout Ive ever stuck with and after more than 3 years, I cant wait for the next class.

Ive always been the type hiding in the back of a full yoga class, so simply trying out ABB was a big challenge for me. After the first workout I realized two things: I was in much worse shape than I thought and if I wanted to improve this was the perfect gym for me.ABB is the ideal combination of a challenging workout with a non-intimidating environment. The emphasis seems to be strength building and physical fitness, so I feel the practical application of the training in my everyday life. When the classes are small, it feels more like having a personal trainer because you get so much individualized attention.The early morning classes are the perfect time and a great way to start the day. I am so happy to have found ABB.

Review №32

...Get in your fighting stance ~ hands up ~ look up ~ keep moving ~ focus ~ BREATHE ~ give your 1,2,3...Dont forget to BREATHE...This cadence reaches far beyond the basics of boxing that I learned from Julia and ABB, I carry them in my every day life. As a result, my confidence continues to grow (even during set-backs), and I have become more relaxed and focused.The workouts are a continual challenge and are never the same on any given day. My instructor is an expert in her craft, so I KNOW I am learning from the best. With consistency, I have witnessed positive changes in myself (as well as others), both body and mind. I grow stronger, my reflexes-quickened, my endurance- expanded. I am more fit. I become the best of me.I cannot say enough about this community of women that share the best of themselves in order to nurture and empower each woman to find what is extraordinary within her. This place is the best part of my day. I am confident that I am not the only one who feels this way.If you are ready to apply the best in YOU, then I recommend ABB. They can help you reach your goals to be your best- and you get to learn how to box while you do it! How cool is THAT!?!? As with any fitness plan, YOU ultimately decide your own success. But, if you want or need that push, then in my experience and opinion, this is the place to be.Sooo... Get in your fighting stance...
