ALANA R. – DECEMBER 2025 MEMBER OF THE MONTH

Check Out Alana's Workout Playlist by JaneRadio

How did you get involved with AWBC After Covid, I was looking for a workout that would get me back into shape. A friend recommended I try boxing, but I was intimidated by the typical male-dominated boxing gyms. I heard about AWBC and after going to a beginner’s workshop, I was hooked. I absolutely fell in love with the sport and the AWBC community.

What’s your favorite part about being a member?

I love punching (and being punched by) my friends :)

What’s your favorite punch or combo?

I love a good flick jab.

Do you have a favorite pro boxer or martial artist?

I’ve been really enjoying watching Bam Rodriguez’s last few fights.

What do you do outside of boxing? Are you a student? Do you work?

Professionally, I am a video games artist. I make 3D models and effects for games.

Any hobbies or passion projects?

I crochet and paint in my free time.

What’s your “walkout song?”

The Ride of the Rohirrim from the Lord of the Rings soundtrack.

How has AWBC changed your life?

My entire life, I never thought I would be an athlete, and I definitely never thought I would box competitively. AWBC has given me the support and training I needed to become an amateur boxer. It’s been an amazing journey so far, and I’m excited to keep fighting!
