When we lived in Bellevue, WA I used to take a Krav Maga boxing class. However, I decided I wanted…read moreto try boxing again here in Austin, TX. So, I decided to try Title Boxing Gym on Research Blvd. I signed up for a 60-minute boxing class with 15 minutes of core work. The energy was high, the coach motivating, and the workout not for the faint at heart. The class started with a warmup and gradually transformed into a fast paced, intense cardio and strength class. The class included boxing fundamentals with strength conditioning that really pushed you to the limit. No prior boxing experience was needed, although one of the managers stepped me through the basics. In the boxing class, the coach called out 1 2 3 4 5 6, which referred to the standard punch number system coaches use to call out combinations quickly. The standard meanings are 1 = Jab (lead hand, straight), 2 = Cross (rear hand, straight), 3 = Lead hook, 4 = Rear hook, 5 = Lead uppercut and 6 = Rear uppercut. To be honest, she was calling out the number so fast at first, it was hard to keep up. At my prior class, they would say jab, cross, upper, and hook. She was kind to come over and ask if I needed help. When I told her I was not used to hearing just the numbers, she added the description. After a short while, I was able to catch on. We performed combinations and ran around the room or did burpees (hate burpees) between sets. Title gym is clean, organized, and set up to handle a room of boxing rigs. The music, lighting, and overall vibe helped keep motivation high. Our coach was super motivating yet challenging. The front desk manager was kind to show me around Title gym. OMG...this was one of the most intense workouts. After taking the boxing class, I was literally soaking wet. My guess is that I will fall fast asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.

What are you looking for? If you are looking for a place where your kid will be given participation…read moreprizes, another semi-meaningless but colorful belt, or where your kid's "confidence" will be of utmost importance without any regard for whether s/he got any skills to back up this confidence, this place isn't for you. But if you want your kid to start training in boxing with the intent of truly being able to defend him/herself, if you want a coach who isn't there to cuddle your child, but impress upon them the real skills and the real confidence that will come with it, that's the place I recommend. If you want your kid to lose the soft belly (literally and figuratively), learn boxing and appreciate the grit, sweat and determination that comes with it, give this place a call. You will not recognize your kid in a year. Or yourself, for that matter, as Siego (head trainer) trains adults too. This place is not for everyone. And that's the best thing about it.

Archetype Boxing Packs a Punch…read more I waltzed into this gym a couple of years ago not really knowing what to expect. I've taken a bunch of classes in everything from hip hop to making rugs. But fitness places I'm a little more discerning. What would I be learning? Are the coaches any good? What's the vibe like? Archetype delivers on all fronts. If you're an experienced boxer and or fitness fanatic, you'll love it. If you're an absolute beginner (me) you'll learn to do stuff you've never done. And everyone there is super duper nice. The workout is a brisk 45 mins and you will be learning new stuff every day. The space is clean, plenty of parking, and the gear is great. They hold these Fight Camps which are a really great way to change your body while learning something new. The coaches are top notch and have the experience and welcoming disposition that is really nice to be around. If you want to try out boxing or have been doing it your entire life, I can't recommend this place enough. You will work hard and you will have a blast.

Unexpected fee after cancellation + refund refused…read more We enrolled our son, Talen, at Johns Gym in Austin and withdrew/cancelled his membership in April as a result of a blood clot and condition that does not allow him to box anymore. After the cancellation, we were still charged an additional fee. We contacted the gym right away to request a refund, but we were told we missed the reimbursement/refund window, so a refund would not be provided. I understand businesses have policies, but this felt frustrating and unfair given that we had already withdrawn him. I'm leaving this review so other families clearly understand the billing and refund timelines before signing up. I'd appreciate the gym revisiting this situation and making it right.

Someone dropped the ball. I am new in town and bought a groupon for Jiu Jitsu at Pinnacle. Sadly…read morewhen I arrived a week ago to schedule classes I was told that they do not offer Jiu Jitsu anymore because they do not have an instructor. They mentioned that they need to have the advertising taken off groupon website. It is a week later and their groupon is still active on Group.com. So I opted for kickboxing and scheduled a class for 7:15 and was told to be there 10-15 minutes before class starts. I arrived at 7:01 and waited till 7:16. The door was locked and 2 people sparring in the back. They saw we when I knocked loudly but they ignored me. I suspected that they had a private session going one. I then left. Never got call but I suspect I will get one after posting here.

On top of that it has to be 30 day notice so if you get charged and come in 2 weeks later you will get charged one more month. It's 2016 it should not be this hard to cancel. I've also been told they do not refund even if the mistake is on their end. I will update this post when more information comes available

Everyone is super friendly, from the front desk to the instructors to the fellow students. I am thankful every day for Knockout. I am physically stronger than I have ever been in my life, but it is not just physical, there are a lot of mental benefits too. I booked a private session before my first group class so I would understand the moves a bit as I had zero kickboxing experience, and did not want to feel lost in a class. It was definitely worth it. All the instructors are helpful if you have questions about form. Practice makes perfect and sometimes it takes a minute for you to fully understand what you doing. I've been a loyal patron since 2019 and have no intentions of slowing down.
