Swing State Boxing Club - Portland, Oregon

Ditto to all that and then some! Molly and Cameron are phenomenal coaches with great energy. They push us, make us laugh, and are super creative with the workouts. They are also extremely attentive and thoughtful. During class the other day Molly squatted down next to me while I was boxing to tie my shoelace that had loosened!

I found swinging state through my wife who suggested we add boxing to our workout routine.

I love how it’s woman owned and that all instructors are positive and helpful. There is zero tough guy culture here – just to focus on fun and fitness.

They have brought a new level of intensity/complexity to my workout routine. More importantly, they push me to be a better version of myself by always improving.

Don’t think about it. Just go once and you’ll be hooked like me.

Swing State Boxing classes are fun...and hard...and fun! Owner & Head Coach Molly welcomes athletes of all experience and fitness levels! She teaches you how to punch, kick, use defensive moves and also brings in strength work off the bag. Unlike some other boxing classes, Molly teaches proper form to keep you safe and make those punches strong! Molly brought two incredible coaches on to the Swing State Boxing Club team, Lindsey & Cam! This allows class offerings throughout the week, so there is likely a class that works for your schedule. Come for the challenging workout, great coaching & energy. Leave with a community of fitness friends!

I tried my very first boxing class with Molly at Swing State a few months back and have been hooked ever since! One thing I appreciate is that Molly offers a lot of different classes each week, all of which include boxing as well as some combination of cardio, upper body and lower body. I also appreciate how welcoming Molly is to all skill levels and fitness levels. She takes the time to make sure that you're getting the very best workout for you! Highly recommend to anyone looking to incorporate a new challenge into their Portland fitness routine.

Swing State Boxing is my absolute favorite workout!! I’ve been going to Molly’s classes almost every week for 4+ years now and I’m in the best shape of my life as a result. Molly is an incredible instructor for people at all boxing / fitness levels. She cares deeply about every person in her classes and has gone out of her way to help me stay fit through injuries, covid shutdowns, travel, etc. Molly’s classes are an absolute blast and the people are the BEST. I’ve made great friends in class and I’ve even recommended the class to several friends and family members who go consistently and say it’s been a game-changer for their mental and physical health. Long story short - come try a class!! You won’t regret it.

Over the last year Molly has built Swing State Boxing into one of the best workout options in Portland! Her classes are fun, energetic, inclusive, supportive and intense. Molly's workouts have allowed me to get stronger, more explosive, better coordinated and build my cardio. The Swing State Boxing approach is whole body so that you leave feeling like your arms, legs and core all got a tremendous workout. If you're looking for a great exercise community and a phenomenal fitness session, come try out a Swing State Boxing class at Vive Fitness!

I started attending classes at Swing State about 6 months ago. I had never been to a boxing class before. I love them! Molly is an excellent trainer. She's knowledgeable, positive, fun, and tough. Molly makes boxing accessible to anyone of any experience level. The Swing State workouts are some of the most difficult workouts I've ever done. I look forward to each class and I'm always happy that I went.

Swing State owner Molly puts on the best boxing classes! She is an enthusiastic and fun instructor who keeps you pushing yourself for the full 60 minutes at the gym. The encouragement from the other boxers around you makes the class environment very hard to beat. 11/10 would recommend this class to a friend/others.
