Great old school boxing gym

Good old fashioned boxing gym. I looked around and decided to work out here due to their no nonsense old school feel, and it was definitely the BEST decision I have made for myself in a long time! I’ve lost ten pounds in the first month working out here on a keto diet and never thought I could get into shape this fast! Now I just need a good sparring partner so come sign up and look for me!!!

This Boxing Gym is a true Austin Local Favorite and Original! The owner and Head Trainer is the real deal... Richard Lord grew up boxing as a kid - his father managed and trained Boxing World Champions. I was fortunate to train with Richard in the early 1980's when his gym was on 6th St. & San Jacinto. He was a World-class fighter and trainer then - and if you have the opportunity to train at his gym now, you are very fortunate. Richard Lord's Boxing Gym is one of a kind - and one of the Local Originals that make Austin unique and Special!

The gym is an old school type of gym but it is great, only about 2 weeks in and I have gotten considerably stronger and better.The gym also has a great atmosphere, there is no competition even though it is a mostly do it yourself type of experience. Richard himself is awesome and has plenty of awesome stories to tell.Overall the gym is a 11/10

A great place to get in shape, and hang out with world champions, past, present, and future. A place to learn inner peace and strength. Lord's gym is an ever-present state of mind in the boxers and fitness enthusiasts who've been fortunate enough to be a member. From this humble gym, charter flights to Caesar's Palace have been booked, arenas sold out, and opponents ko'd in title fights. Richard, his son Tiger, provide world class training for some, and a place to do a few situps for an old guy like me.

Great place to train and get in shape!!! 🥊🥊 …

Hands down the best gym in Austin, from people just trying too get into shape to pros. Richard is definitely the best around for a reason.

I just started training there awhile ago and the owner is nice, the workouts are good, and you can get in shape really quickly

This is a great boxing gym. The vibe is positive! The business owner Richard Lord is a great guy. I highly recommend this boxing gym.
