About the gym
OUR MISSION:
Austin Women’s Boxing Club exists to make authentic boxing accessible to women.
We provide expert coaching in a safe, women-centered environment where athletes of all levels can develop strength, confidence, technical skill, and overall fitness. Our training prioritizes proper technique, progressive skill development, and a strong sense of community.
Through boxing, we aim to empower women—not only physically, but mentally—while creating a space where they feel supported, challenged, and respected.
OUR STORY:
Austin Women’s Boxing Club was founded in September 2007 with a simple idea: women deserve a place where they can learn real boxing.
When I was competing as an amateur boxer, training environments for women were limited. Boxing gyms were overwhelmingly male-dominated, and opportunities for women to learn the sport in a supportive setting were rare. I often wished there had been a space specifically designed for women to develop their skills and confidence in the sport.
That experience ultimately inspired me to create Austin Women’s Boxing Club.
Since then, our mission has been to expand opportunities for women in boxing—not only for athletes, but also for coaches—and to make the sport more accessible to women who want to challenge themselves, learn something new, and grow stronger both physically and mentally.
Today, AWBC is proud to be the first and only all-women’s boxing gym in Austin. Our community includes women of all experience levels—from complete beginners who have never worn boxing gloves to athletes training and competing at the national level.
Our USA Boxing Certified coaches are committed to teaching the sport with integrity while helping each athlete progress at her own pace.
At AWBC, members gain far more than a workout. They build real boxing skills, develop confidence, and become part of a supportive community of women pushing themselves and each other to grow.
For many women, the hardest step is simply walking through the gym doors for the first time. Once they do, they quickly discover that they belong here.
