Austin Women's Boxing Club - Austin, Texas

Get Nasty Fit with Jen Wireman

You may ask yourself how a women’s only gym focusing on a niche sport won “Best Gym in Austin” this year, but the answer is simple - it really is THAT good. Aside from the high quality USA Boxing coaching and the nationally ranked competition team, the camaraderie and sisterhood of this place is what makes it special. I have played women’s contact sports for many years, and the environment cultivated at AWBC is what makes it stand out above all other leagues. Members range from teens to 60s, yet all are challenged to their appropriate level in the classes. I have built friendships here, and had the opportunity to punch those friends in the face. What could be better! Take an intro class, and see for yourself!

Been training at AWBC for about a year now and couldn’t be happier with my experience there. The workouts are incredible, the instructors are all super knowledgeable and approachable, there are plenty of classes each week to accommodate a variety of schedules/skill levels, it truly feels like an inclusive/safe environment, and there’s a real sense of community amongst the members. Finally, I found a gym where I actually look forward to and genuinely enjoy the classes! We have fun *and* we work hard!

AWBC has been crowned best gym in Austin for a reason! The classes are always fun and dynamic, the instructors are passionate and enthusiastic about what they do, plus there’s so much more just beyond taking classes, getting fit, and learning how to punch, the community there is unmatched to anywhere else I’ve been, and there’s always fun activities, challenges, or events going on! I’ve been a member now for almost 2 years and am still so grateful I gave it a shot one day

I've been going to this gym on and off for a few years now, and my love for this place has only grown! The format of this gym (and the coaches) will work for you no matter what you want to get out of it. Whether you want to focus on strength and fitness, building up cardio and endurance, or do real contact work, you can build your own path! As far as the gym itself goes, it's the cleanest fitness studio I've ever stepped foot in. The members all love this gym and take excellent care of it, and so do the coaches. It's such an inclusive space, no matter your skill level, your body type, your goals. I love AWBC!

AWBC has made such a positive impact in my life, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. I love this community so much and boxing here is not only an amazing workout, but also a great emotional outlet and way to make friends. I feel supported by the coaches to make and achieve personal goals, and after years of going to these classes I still always feel motivated to want to get better. Thank you AWBC for being the best gym ever!

I joined AWBC about two months ago and I love this gym!! The instructors (and other members!!) are very supportive and encouraging, but also knowledgable. As a newer member, I really like that there are Boxing Basics classes and strength workshops. I’ve never had as much fun working out as I do at AWBC. I’m really excited to see how much stronger/better at boxing I get and to become further involved in the community as I continue with AWBC!

Here's a polished version of your review:

I joined AWBC a month ago expecting a typical gym experience—take some classes, get in better shape, and hopefully stay entertained. What I found was so much more. AWBC has proven to be a true community. In this short time, I’ve made some amazing friends.

Every class offers a supportive and challenging environment. The coaches are experts at their craft, excelling at keeping you motivated and pushing you to your limits. I've learned so much—including where the liver is located and how to punch it effectively.

The facilities are pristine, with a lot of impressive equipment packed into a well-organized space. Joining AWBC has been an amazing journey, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for more than just a gym.

This is my second month going to AWBC and I can't express how happy I am. Everyone is so welcoming and willing to help. I love that the coaches are always pushing you to do better while also keeping in mind your fitness level. Before joining, I had no boxing experience, but I'm learning. I'm truly happy and grateful for finding AWBC.
