I spent months researching what certification I wanted. I saw some other interesting ones, but none could compare to Boxing & Barbells. The dynamic duo of Cary and Damien really stood out amongst the others. As advertised, authentic boxing with great weightlifting instruction. Dont be fooled by all the hype. Boxing and Barebells is the real deal 🏋️‍♂️💪🥊🥇🏆

Awesome knowledgeable coaches. Who go above and beyond to make sure you understand the fundamentals of boxing and proper form in lifting. Thank you Cary and Damien

Top notch coaches that love what they do and it really shows. The program is challenging but fun and I learned a lot!

I found out about The Stables from winning an auction item. Im so glad I did! Cary is a fabulous teacher and coach, and knows her craft. After doing martial arts for years, but lacking in coordination, Carys class was a great transition to maintain a momentum. She teaches the basics of boxing for beginners, and beyond for the more experienced boxer. Technique is so important in boxing so you dont hurt yourself, and dont get hit. Cary is very experienced, tough and knowledgeable. Its refreshing to learn the sport more intricately from a woman who knows, understands, and has lived the sport. And doesnt judge. She can kick ass in a bar fight. The classes are challenging and fun, but at an hour, a great, high intensity workout in a brief time period. Not to mention she offers challenges to help you cut weight if you need to. That alone has changed my life. Thank you Cary!

Really phenomenal experience. It’s a smaller gym with Cary running the show. The Stables is a gem in the sense that it’s a real boxing studio. You learn how to correctly box, regardless if you ever want to enter the ring. Small class size allows Cary to focus on your form and technique to allow for corrections. It’s almost like getting personal training without the price tag! If you’re interested in really learning the sport, give The Stables a try!

My husband and I have trained with Cary on-again, off-again for the past two years. (Were both in and out of town a lot for work, otherwise wed be there full-time.) Every class is different...and an absolutely FANTASTIC workout that will leave you wringing out your t-shirt. But aside from the physical workout, its a real mental workout, too. When Im in class regularly, I feel so mentally strong...so powerful and so capable of doing anything. Cary is an amazing teacher, and I am so grateful to her for challenging me on every level.

This has been the ONLY workout regimen that I’ve stuck to relatively well. I’ve had my days off here and there, but Cary’s classes are workouts that I MISS if I don’t have them. She is no-nonsense and no excuses, but it’s because she’s trying to train you. If you’re ready to let yourself be trained, and commit to doing the things she tells you to do, her classes and challenges will work for you.🥊💫🔥💯

Cary is the best and only coach you’ll need. She is there to teach and push you to your limits. She dedicates so much time to form and technique!!!!! This is so important because if you’re not punching correctly are you really burning calories and working your abs?! Her rates may be steep but every dollar is worth what you get taught. You’ll look like a pro once she is done with you.

Cary is the best! Her classes totally rock and shes also very cool! As a trainer, she is dedicated, patient, and pushes you to dig deep. Her routines change so the classes are never boring and you leave feeling like you can conquer the world! Been doing her classes for a couple of years now and I dont see myself going to go anywhere else. Thanks, Cary!

The ying and yang of cardio thru authentic boxing 🥊 infused with strength training 💪 Amazing workout with amazing professionals in the fitness and boxing industry !

I was finding it difficult to stay motivated enough to maintain a steady routine at a big brand gym and with my 40th birthday on the horizon, I needed something new to get me up from my desk. That’s when I stumbled upon the boxing club at the Stables. With zero experience and a little online research about the owner, I decided to take advantage of a trial special with Cary and I immediately became hooked.The first few months introduced me to the sport and fundamentals of boxing, all kinds of soreness, and a dramatic increase to my core strength and flexibility. I honestly wasn’t sure how much I would enjoy an instructor-lead class at first, but the sessions are a perfect mix of boxing and weight training, all at a speed that keeps you moving and sweating - resulting in a better workout than I used to get on my own spending twice as long at a standard gym. Plus, there is nothing quite like putting the fundamentals learned to the test when you get to spar under Cary’s guidance.One year later and almost 30 pounds lighter, I’m seeing my body transform into something closer to what it was 10 years ago and my mental health has never been better. I would recommend the Stables to anyone looking for an excellent workout, whether you know anything about boxing or not.

Top notch curriculum, people and products!!Way to to go Cary & D, thanks for training our staff!! -CKO North Brunswick NJ

The Stables is the best boxing gym Ive found in Santa Monica/the westside. Cary makes you work hard and kicks your butt in the best way possible. The classes are small, which means plenty of one-on-one time and help with technique. She really takes the time to ensure that your technique is right. Everyone who goes is extremely supportive and kind - its a great community to be a part of. Guaranteed to leave any class dripping sweat and much stronger! Ill be a client for a long time.

I am so happy I found the Stables and Cary! I have been training for a couple years now and Cary has really saved my life! This is the first time I have ever been excited to work out. I am always so motivated at the Stables and I have become stronger, more confident, and more fit. Sometimes I get so into the class that I don’t even realize how tough it was until it’s over and I’m sore the next day. This is real deal boxing, and Cary makes sure that we learn everything the proper way. She is professional and tough but patient and she cares about her clients and makes it fun to learn. Client is not the right word because we really are a family. Cary is not only great with us, but she does so much for the community and she is an inspiration to so many. Thank you Cary and The Stables!

Cary will literally change your life because she cares more than just giving you an ass whooping workout, she really teaches you how to box unlike those other trendy boxing places. I have learned so much from Cary and her classes and know that I can take down anyone who comes at me.

I trained at The Stables with Cary for over a year and wouldnt hesitate to recommend her gym/training to anyone who wants an education in the fundamentals of boxing and an extremely challenging workout.Boxing classes in Los Angeles right now seem to be a dime a dozen. Group classes of 30 or 40 that place an emphasis on total calories burned and instant gratification where students are throwing punches on heavy bags with little to no guidance.This is not The Stables.Cary takes great care to slowly and methodically teach her students/gym members the proper stance, technique and fundamentals of boxing that result in proper form, a complete body workout and most importantly, avoidance of injury.The by-product of her methodology is not only a growing foundation of boxing fundamentals, but a workout that proves to be extremely challenging, rewarding and geared for lean gains.Prior to The Stables, I would have assumed that 5 minutes of shadow boxing was childs play, especially for a big guy. Ten seconds into my first shadow boxing drill with Cary, I thought about sitting down and taking a time out!Simply put: Great gym to truly learn boxing technique and develop superb conditioning. Just leave your ego at the door and be willing to learn.

I LOVE THE STABLESI! Im addicted. I leave every class dripping sweat and my full body completely worked. The class is hard - in the best, most rewarding way. There is no slacking off - with around 10ppl max, the entire class youre engaged and Carry is paying attention to you. I was super intimidated starting up - I know nothing about boxing and with such few people in the class I was afraid of looking stupid - but everyone is super supportive and there trying to be their best self. Its an amazing, supportive community that I feel lucky to be a part of. Carry is an inspiration. She is tough, but kind. She takes her time to walk you through technique so you have a full understanding of the purpose behind each move. Without fail, I leave class feeling stronger than I did walking in - both inside and out. Im so happy I found a workout I can make a lifestyle. Cant wait for class tomorrow!

If you want to truly learn boxing, this is the place to go!Ther class sizes are small so that your technique can be critiqued and perfected during every session. Want a great workout? Well, without the technique you cant get the physique!
