This place is not a place you want to go to if you are serious about boxing. All of their decent trainers left recently and their boxing team recently lost every single match in a cross-gym matchup. Its probably fine for fitness boxing, but dont expect to be ready to compete.

Be very careful with this place. I canceled due to the gyms mishandling of my boxing coaches, meaning in the 9 months I was here, I had 5 different coaches. Each coach would bash the other and tell me I was taught wrong. Ridiculous!!!! After canceling they continued to bill my bank info. They are corrupt and dishonest. Steal your money !!

Man go to a real gym to learn to boxxxx These people out of they minds. Bunch of peeps that do not no tha real deal Holyfield

Their cancellation policy is there is no cancellation, even after youve moved, submitted the paperwork, and then, bam.... Months later you get a past due bill for $1500. Scammers!

Love this place! I work out with Randy on a bi-weekly basis he always gives me a great work out, keeps it interesting and keeps me engaged. You can tell he takes pride in his work, and enjoys what he does. His enthusiasm is contagious. I have been going here for months and highly recommend trying this place out! Gym overall is very clean. I have lost over 10lbs since starting at this gym with 1:1 sessions twice weekly.

These folks jerk you around with cancellation

Very high prices for nothing. Thanks for nothing !!!

LOVE this place! For many reasons. I recently started training with Randy, and he is the REAL deal! Like no kidding! He is an amazing instructor and takes his time with me and meets me where I am at. I had a car accident and a head injury so I have to modify many movements and go slow.Another reason, I love this gym, is that it is CLEAN! I am mean, REALLY clean! The weight racks are always in order! The floors are spotless! For a boxing and weight rack gym, it is truly amazing! Better than any box store gym in the city!The people who work there, say hello to you! I feel like when I am there, I matter! Thank you Randy!

Try Richard Lords instead....

Great space, great place! Cool working with Randy! : )

YOU CAN NOT CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP. I REPEAT. YOU CAN NOT CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP. Unless you are going to take your training seriously, I would not recommend coming to this gym. I initially signed up to train with them so I could start competing. Then suddenly I had a change with my work schedule, which prevented me from being able to make it to any class. Cool, I called the agency that they doing billing to cancel. Apparently there’s a clause in their contract that prevents you from canceling your contract. You can’t even buy out the rest of your contract like most gyms offer. So basically I’ve been stuck paying over 140-150 something dollars a month for training that I can’t even attend. So don’t end up like me.

This gym is excellent. And everything is so clean! The SAS classes are almost as good as one-on-one training, but without the cost, so in that sense its much less expensive that the average boxing gym. It doesnt have the overcrowding that a lot of Austin gyms have. It has all the equipment needed, plus the wide open space needed (most gyms have only one or the other). The personal training is expensive, but probably only needed for more serious boxers.

Good luck canceling your contract even when it says when you move and send in proof of residency they still bill you, wont be paying and dont recommend them besides the cheap gym only membership.

Terrible experience... Too many gyms in Austin to waste your time here. Check out Dark Clan, Eastside Boxing or ONNIT.

Quality Gym with new equipment, new bags, new turf, new murals, and a real boxing ring as well. Trainers are either current fighters or ex-fighters with real hands on knowledge. The owner is actually an EX-WORLD Champion kick boxer. Look it up. Randy Palmer. Pretty sure its the largest INDEPENDENTLY OWNED gym in town where the owner actually has some belts/titles. If you have not checked this place out, you certainly need to.The amateur events are really fun and Im pretty sure there are going to be some pro-fights happening at the gym as well this year!!! Its fun to see some celebrities at his events from time to time as well. And the seminars are super cool too......I personally enjoyed the Nathan Carnage Elbow Striking Seminar this past year.If your interested in Burmese bare knuckle boxing....check out the upcoming seminar on Saturday, Feb 2nd from 12pm-3pm for $75. Itll be well worth it and a lot of fun!!!

Please do not waste your money. I do not even write reviews EVER but I have to because me and my husband both had hard time ending our contract. The first problem is that they do not manage their own payment system. It is done by a third party. They literally refer you to the third party for any issues with your payment. When I signed up for my contract I was told that my contract was for 6 months including the month that I signed up(makes sense) but when they took out money on the 7th month, I called them and the owners wife was rude and basically told me I need to learn how to read. I had to hang up on her because she was so disrespectful. A month later my husband told them that we were moving to another city and he wanted to end his contract(a clause in contract and verbally told by the person when we signed our contract), they gave him WRONG email address of the third party who takes care of their payments. We emailed then in April with the proof that we have moved to another city. We realized in September that they were still taking out payments($125/ month) from his account. We contacted the payment company and they just emailed us today that they will take out another payment in October and it will stop in November. This is after we forwarded them the proof of email in April to the wrong email address that was provided to us(word systemswas missing from incorrect email address). There are much better gyms out in that area who do better business.The instructors are good and they are friendly but please do not sign a contract or just sign a month to month contract. I know that it is not that difficult to just call the payment company(third party) and let them know about the wrong email address and they could have easily returned our overpayments. And just to also make clear, my husband has not been to that gym since February 2019. Please do not join this gym

Ive been going to this gym for nearly three years now and have enjoyed it thoroughly especially when it moved closer to my home in South Austin rather than being closer to downtown. The staff are friendly theyre always getting in new equipment and improving the gym space. The only thing personally keeping it from being a 5-star is them being open at 5:30 in the morning, I know this is early for some people but its never open when it says its supposed to be open and most the time Im having to drive back home because I dont have time to waste when no one is here.

In October of 2016, I was bored of my workout routine and decided to try something new. Without prior experience, I challenged myself to win a sanctioned fight within one year. With the expertise and patience of the trainers and staff at South Austin Gym, my goal was accomplished a few months ahead of schedule. Given that I have ran through the gamut of their programs, from SAS Fit to boxing class and even some personal training sessions, I can say that as long as you bring some grit, South Austin Gym will push you to achieve your fitness goals.

Really great gym. There is a weight section and they have cardio machines like a traditional gym which is really nice. The boxing trainers are really fantastic. You can really tell they have put a lot of thought and work into their boxing program and they are awesome with assessing where you are at and helping you get to where you want to go. All the staff I have dealt with there has been great from day 1. Cant say enough good things about this gym!

I spent a year in the weight area working out and watching the boxing and kick-boxing. Finally decided to give boxing a try. Best decision Ive made in many years. Great staff, coaches and support. You will find some of the best people in South Austin Gym. Best deal in town for the weight room, and none of the other gyms issues with grunting or not grunting. The cost of the boxing program is about the same as other boxing gyms. If you want to be pampered, go else where, if you want instruction and support to reach your goals, South Austin Gym is the place to be. Thanks to all the staff for the support and results.

I love the gym...you have all the equipment you need...plus the boxing and kickboxing classes are fun.

TL;DR: This gym and the instructors are awesome. Go here.This is a great gym! Ive trained in martial arts of different sorts since I was a kid, I love it. Its the only exercise that I can stick with! I needed to tighten up my boxing, (which is sloppy), so I checked out South Austin Gym. After one Kickstarter lesson, I signed up. Unfortunately, a week later in judo class at another gym, my MCL and meniscus were injured when a guy who didnt yet know how to fall correctly landed on my right knee. I had to do rehabilitation and stop training. South Austin Gym was kind enough to freeze my account for a short time!Here it is, several months later, and I am able to attend boxing classes to try and get in shape again (its going to be a task: I let myself go), and I am hooked! Next week will only be my third week of regular training in a long time and I cant wait to get back at it. When I get my wind back, Im going to do the kickboxing classes, too. The boxing coaches (I do day classes) Rudy, Mo, Zach and Mike are all professional and supportive. Havent had the chance to take classes from Coach Palmer yet but he is always at the gym and seems to be a nice guy. All the other students in the classes are also supportive and fun to workout with.If you are looking for a gym to help you get started in combat sports or whip you in shape because youve been sandbagging it (like me), this is the place to go. Do it!

Seems half decent. Went for boxing and was asked to pay $35 up front. No free trial to see if I even like it. Completely ridiculous. The gym membership itself cost more than several gyms and several martial arts programs that let you have a free trial.

Great all around gym with many aspects of all combat sports and very family friendly . Highly recommended for amateur and pros. Great price for skill level of expertise. Knowledge is power, with a fun atmosphere.

Came in to try the gym out tonight because I heard good things. My workout was only going to take 20 minutes as I told the guy at the desk. He charged me $15, okay cool, he tells me thats a 1 day pass. When I leave (20 minutes later) I ask the same person if I can come back tomorrow before 6pm? 1 day = 24 hours right? The same guy makes this weird thinking emoji face and says I dont know Ill have to ask Mo. I wanted to give a local gym a chance but I think Ill stick to 24 Hour Fitness. At least there I would have got shown around and the day pass would have been for a day. I was even going to buy a t-shirt if I liked the place. Oh well keeping Austin weirded is getting harder to do I guess.

Good price for a simple gym. I dont attend the classes, but glad to pay less that $15 a month for some basic equipment. Though, more than half their treadmills dont work, and the bathrooms could be cleaner. Seems clear that you get what you pay for.

I just use the gym area. Nice small little gym but with good equipment, nice staff and not too busy. I really enjoy it. Peacefull workout

I called and just wanted to know prices. I liked the guy I talked to, he seemed really nice, but asked several times for monthly membership prices for only western boxing or both w boxing and kickboxing and got the runaround everytime. I probably wont hassle with going to the $35 kickstart trial just to find out what they charge for their programs that he wanted me to do. Ill just find another gym.

Great place to train! All the coaches are knowledgeable and train at your pace... they dont throw you in the ring to spar with pros on your first day! I highly recommend coming in for a kickstarter class.

Gym has all typical weight and cardio machines but also has a nice selection of free weights, Primal 7 bands, crossfit equipment, along with its own area for use. I can put my headphones in, knock-out a good workout and rarely have to wait on equipment / machines. Highly recommend for someone who wants to focus on their workout.

$35 for kickstarter, 1 hour class? Come one that is just a trick, boxing clases for kids are too high for what it is, I will avoid this place for kids, you can not even find pricing in their website tricky business here

This gym is really more than a gym and Im not saying this just because I go here. They have clean equipment and great programs. I was initially attracted to this place because they offered Muay Thai, but Ive been so out of shape that just having a trainer to spar with was the best. They have motivated me so much that Im seeing weight loss and more muscle. I just wanted to shout out to them how much theyve helped me with my goal!

I am really glad that I found South Austin Gym. The place is huge, so you never have to wait on dumbbells and rarely have to work in on the machines. They have brand new cardio equipment with TVs, and huge boxing area with a full size boxing ring and wrestling mats, too. New locker room and showers are a plus! All in all, great gym.

Staff, coaches and facility are great.

I took boxing and kickboxing classes at this gym for about a year and half and have worked with many of the instructors: Randy (gym owner), Mo, Tyler, Vaughn, Kaiden (i think?), and a few other guys that are no longer teaching there or whose names I didnt get. There was one trainer I didnt like too much (Lorenzo, no longer at the gym) but otherwise, they all have had a great attitude and are knowledgeable and experienced, and classes had a good balance between theory (bag work, drills) and practice (dutch drills, light sparring). The reality is that most people need to be hit a couple of times to be taught the importance of keeping your guard up, footwork, etc, and so you need the occasional sparring to develop good habits.I was concerned with head injuries and excessively violent students/instructors but I have found that, at least for the boxing and kickboxing classes, there is a healthy emphasis on control and proper technique. I really appreciated that side of the class and it was what kept me coming back. Even when Tyler was kicking my legs into jello, or Mo was slipping upper cuts through my defense, I found it instructive and helpful rather than discouraging because they had excellent control and were showing me weaknesses.If you are interested in boxing only as exercise, this is not the place to go. If you are interested in learning and practicing boxing or kickboxing technique as a fighter, you will find good and varied company here. If I wasnt leaving the city to go back to school, Id renew my membership ($1k per year) and keep training.

Terrrible gym, bad business practices, the things they promised are not true, broken equipment and unprofessional trainers not for people with experience, horrible process to cancel the membership. I had signed up for 6 months that I payed for to later find out it was a year and a half, false information, I dont recommend this to anyone whos more advance in boxing or mma, would rather recommend planet fitness then this for what you pay for monthly .In short words they only care to squeez money out of you and work against you they could literally care less about ur health or fitness, when I did set up to have training sessions the coaches didnt show up, Conrad,May,Kayde and I also heard weird things between the coaches and staff going on, didnt feel comfortable didnt want to go to the gym and the training was very basic nothing you couldnt do by your self at any other and less priced gym, horrible experience wouldnt recommend it to anyone. Besides me not wanting to attend the gym and then wanting to cancel which is one of the worst experiences Ive had at any gym Ive ever been too with 5 years boxing experience.

Small place but has everything you need for a good workout

A great gym with great membership pricing! Has everything you need to stay in phenomenal shape!

Really great gym that Ive been a member with for over a year. Awesome people too.

This is a no frills, affordable, community gym for boxers, wrestlers and lifters. If you are into no nonsense, workouts with iron weights, heavy bags and wrestling matts, and you dont like TVs and flashing lights, this is your place.

This place is amazing! Everyone has been very welcoming and friendly, and I cant speak highly enough about the entire staff. Ive been going to the kickboxing classes for just under a month, the workout is intense but scaleable to all levels (including my own sad state of fitness lol!) and Mo and Cade have been exceptionally helpful and patient. Sorry if I misspelled the names!Looking forward to getting into some of the fitness classes as well, but thatll have to wait a bit while my body acclimates to more rigorous exercise! Again, I cant recommend this place enough! Reasonable prices, and great people!

Visited this gym during the Fantastic Fest and thought it was a major upgrade from their old location. I have not worked out here, but the facility itself is really nice!

Im fairly new to this gym, maybe 3 months or so. Ive had nothing but good experiences here. The staff are all knowledgeable and very serious about conditioning, fitness, and mindset. I go to the classes at least twice a week and have learned alot. Excellent instructors like Andy, Mo, Josh, Cade, and Randy make this place a wealth of knowledge for any looking to get ready for the fight. I really enjoy the primal 7 class, they are really tough. I cant believe that Mo teaches/participates in the primal class and then immediately goes to teach the boxing class, that dude is a beast...Im on the floor just drained after the primal class...lol only bad thing is I wish there was an earlier class like 9am or whatever. The earliest classes start at noon.

Small place but each n every equipment u need they got

This place is known for charging past dates for contracts. The staff says they cant do anything to stop the payments and to contact their billing company. The billing company is super shady and wants official documents by mail to stop payments. Not worth the effort when there are dozens of gyms around.

Nicely equipped gym

Wish hours were different

Nice chill environment
