Austin Women's Boxing Club

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.

Let me ask you this-do you ever go to a workout class or a gym and feel intimidated or like you don't belong? Austin Boxing Babes is nothing like what you've 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 body's potential but also access your inner strength, try Austin Boxing Babes!

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 love Austin Boxing Babes! Julia provides a safe and motivating environment to learn the sweet science of boxing or just to get in shape. I've been coming to the gym regularly for the past 2 years and I'm in the best shape of my life!

I've 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.

Coach Julia is a great instructor and will always find away to push to the level!

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. I'm getting a great workout, meeting new people, and picking up an unique sport.

ABB is unlike any gym around. It's not only a gym, it's a community where you'll find support, laughter and a workout that will kick your butt. After just a few weeks you'll feel stronger, more confident and eager to come back. It's the only workout I've ever stuck with and after more than 3 years, I can't wait for the next class.

I've 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.

"...Get in your fighting stance ~ hands up ~ look up ~ keep moving ~ focus ~ BREATHE ~ give your 1,2,3...Don't 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..."
