From the reviews
I love being a member of Austin Women’s Boxing Club. There are lots of classes throughout the week so it’s easy to fit into my schedule. All of the instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and badass! The classes are challenging, but welcome all fitness levels. They have a sparring class on Saturday mornings.
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!
I joined Austin Women’s Boxing Club in December 2022 looking for a fun way to get into shape and to help me regain a sense of strength after a tumultuous year. What I found was so much more than a gym - Coach Julia has cultivated a wonderful community here.
AWBC is one of my favorite places in Austin and best boxing gym I’ve ever been to. Coaches and members are really supportive of each other and accommodate different skill levels with a lot of attention and care. I’m always impressed by how often I receive hands-on corrections and feedback even in larger classes.
New to kickboxing? Start at Austin Women's Boxing Club
Austin Women's Boxing Club comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Austin Women's Boxing Club
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
