A great place to learn how to box, surrounded by by hardworking and like minded individuals. Everyday offers a new challenge to overcome.I’d also like to add that I’ve always thought I was pretty fit until I started boxing at The West Side boxing gym. If you’re looking for a challenge then stop looking, you’ve found it. This gym will create opportunities for you to become a better version of yourself

Coach Lee, the staff, and community at the Boxing Gym WS are everything the world desperately needs right now - safe, welcoming, uplifting, professional and disciplined classes along with the BEST people in a supportive atmosphere. And SWEAT. Lots of sweat! I always feel brilliant after a class. Cant wait to see the new space!

Excited for the reopening January 2022 under Beer Star down the street. Going to start my post-pandemic back to health program there. 💙 Got into shape for my last pre-covid race there and looking forward to returning.

Great instructors that are passionate about boxing and creating a positive community. I have learned a lot in My few months at the studio. There are students of all levels, but everyone is there to learn together. I can’t recommend this studio enough. Whether your looking to develop as a boxer or box just for fitness, you will feel right at home here.

Ive been a member since 2015 and cannot recommend this gym enough. A true lifesaver. Youll work out hard--as much as you care to. Youll meet fantastic people. Youll have amazing coaches. You wont regret it. Keep it fresh, get a well-rounded workout EVERY time and never be bored because they are always adding/changing things. Thank you Boxing Gym!

Awesome space for community, building strength and skill, and having fun! Have been coming for 2 years both in person and virtually and love both options. Coach Lee is amazingly skilled at teaching, boxing, and building a welcoming space for all! Assistant coaches are super fun and talented people, and all members are so friendly and inclusive. This gym changed my life for the better, and has kept me sane in the pandemic!

I could not recommend this gym enough, the people are so welcoming and help you fit right in not matter your experience. Me being a teenage girl, and the youngest in my classes, has made no difference in how I feel or how I am treated. The environment is very comfortable and feels safe. The coaches are amazing and I couldnt ask for a better gym!

This gym is the absolute best! Not only is everyone so supportive but they’ve helped me learn so much about boxing and about myself and what my body can handle and not handle. Boxing is a great stress reliever for me and they are incredible staffed and skilled, would most definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to learn boxing, continue their boxing education, or even to just work out and have some fun!

I’ve been boxing with Lee and his team for almost 2 years now. I had no experience in boxing before and had to learn it all from scratch. One of the best learning experiences of my life. Lee and his team are incredibly competent, knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about boxing and teaching boxing. The community is composed of people from all levels and all walks of life. It’s an incredible group of supportive friends. Even during COVID the gym offers a range of options from Zoom classes to rich online content, safe in-person classes and online 1x1 private lessons. If you’re hesitant about starting boxing, don’t be. This is the place. If you’re already a boxer and looking for a new gym, come check us out!

I have had about a year without the gym due to injury, but I desperately miss the gym (which quickly became like a second home for me). Coaches are all wonderful, gym is big, beautiful, and super clean and tidy. Coach Lee is one of my favorite things about the gym. Everything he does is intentional and his students are his absolute main priority. Coach Lee knows my strengths, weaknesses and goals, and helps challenge and encourage me to be better. I have been to a handful of gyms in my life, but never experienced one like this. Thank you Boxing Gym Westside - I miss you dearly!

This gym is great - all the coaches I’ve taken classes with are awesome (Lee, Laura, Alex and Jordan). Plenty of good energy, super supportive and just overall good people and great coaches. No judgement, but always offering to help you improve. Glad to have found this place last summer.

I have been training at this gym for two years. It is welcoming to all, offers a breadth and depth of expertise and encouragement from the first day you arrive for classes - a reflection of values coach Lee Torres promotes each day he opens the doors.

The Boxing Gym Westside is the BEST. The coaches are amazing and they really do welcome folks of all levels- as a total beginner, Ive been blown away by how inclusive and helpful they are. Coach Lee has created a challenging, radical, inclusive, powerful space, and Im so grateful for it. Plus the beginners packages are awesome! I feel so much stronger, empowered, and excited about exercise than Ive ever felt in my life- and thats just after one month of getting to be a part of this community. Thanks so much, Coach Lee and everyone at the Boxing Gym Westside

Somehow the coaches walk that fine line between keeping everyone pushing their limits (both mentally and physically) and also providing supportive encouragement. You can learn at the speed (I like fast-ha-ha) you prefer or are capable of. Every partner and coach has been very engaged and also friendly. Clearly they cultivate this challenging, demanding, and friendly environment. It is all I hoped for--and a bit more.

The Boxing Gym West Seattle is a warm and inclusive environment, and a great place for anyone to learn to box with sound form and technique. When I walked into the gym for the first time as a complete newbie, I had no idea I would love boxing and the community so much that I would just have to keep coming back. Coach Lee is a patient and inspiring boxing coach, whose years of experience and diligent practice are always apparent. He caters to all levels and always comes up with new ways to give us a physical and mental challenge. Without fail, I always leave the gym feeling better than when I walked in!

The team of coaches are friendly, warm, inclusive, and able to give students the modifications and/or challenges they need. As a beginner the level of instruction is phenomenal and Im always impressed with the amount of individual attention each student gets in a class.

I am a relatively new student here (just a couple of months) but I have to say I am hooked! It is a wonderful, inclusive, challenging environment with a great community. Every coach Ive had is brilliant and offers clear and helpful direction. The work out is so much fun, I forget that it is supposed to be exercise!

YOU DON’T FIND BOXING, BOXING FINDS YOUI just completed my first year at this gym, attending on average 3 classes per week. I’ve found that there’s a vast variety of reasons why people join a boxing gym. There is another set of reasons for why people stay.I joined this gym to improve my self defense skills. I stayed because I’ve fallen in love with the sport, and because it’s the best workout I’ve found.KEEP IT REALThe coaches are passionate, they have the hearts of teachers, and they are world class instructors.Coach Lee has worked extremely hard to nurture an open and inclusive environment. Please know that no matter who you are, you are welcome when you walk in.The primary format here is group classes. Sign up for one on the website, show up, borrow some gear from the gym, and start.YOU DON’T PLAY BOXING, IT’S A WAY OF LIFEThere’s something about practicing a sport that is impossible to master. For those of us that are competitive and get frustrated when you make a mistake, you will learn a huge lesson in humility and patience, and you will learn it quick. Boxing is simple in concept yet it never stops teaching you. Forgiveness, respect, reflection.From my own personal self defense standpoint I’m learning speed, power and footwork. What I didn’t expect was to learn was focus under exhaustion and concentration under duress. Two highly important factors when you-know-what hits the fan.ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE IN A BOXING GYMShow up with goals for yourself, then prepare to achieve them. Everyone in this gym is working on a part of themselves. Be strong and stay in the fight.

Tl;dr: Great gym ... or BEST gym?I basically wanted to change my life; not because I was unhappy, but because Im getting older and kinda-sorta wouldnt mind living forever. Ive always been fascinated with boxing, but I was never a super sporty gal and boxings pretty intimidating, yeah? I mean, like a lot of testosterone and macho dudes involved, right?But I kept walking by this new gym near my home, and it looked liked such fun, and there were all sorts of people in class --- different genders, all body types & ages, beginners & advanced. So I swallowed my shyness & fear, and went in to speak with Coach Lee. I started classes that week, and here I still am, 18 months later! I dont think Ive stuck with anything fitness-related for 18 months.All my drive-by impressions turned out to be true, but the one thing you cant capture until youre actually there is how solid the community there is, and how kind and supportive the entire gym is -- coaches and students alike.Yeah, it changed me. It continues to change me. Im all in.
