Easley Boxing and Fitness — Local services in Austin

Good knowledge, however customer service is absolutely terrible and ruins the totality of the experience you will have at Easley Boxing. Below are just some of the issues I had.

I purchased ten packs of solo one on one training sessions with my coach at around 65 or 70 dollars each session. The training was supposed to take place every M,W,F at 9AM, but it totally depended on me receiving a text at 7 or 8PM the night before from my coach as to whether or not he was going to show up to my scheduled training. Sometimes I wouldn't receive a text. Sometimes I’d be on the way to my session and I’d receive a text thirty minutes before my session informing me he would not be there. He said it depended on whether or not other boxers wanted to switch the times they wanted to train for the day. They were always given priority, which made me feel like I was a burden to be a customer at this place. My coach was consistently 10 or 15 minutes late to our sessions because he wanted to go for a jog instead of being on time for our scheduled session. Once he trained some other student along with me during my solo 1:1 session... double the profit I guess. There is no way for students to verify the accuracy of the quantity of sessions left. My 10 pack of lessons would mysteriously be reduced by two or three sessions before he would call and want more money. The last straw was when I overheard my coach discussing my lack of skill with youth students directly in front of me. I decided right then I was done with this guy and this gym. That was the last session I went to. I let him keep the 4 remaining sessions I paid for. It was something I really enjoyed that I was proud of myself for doing and learning, but after that moment I realized I was an absolute fool.

Anyways, months after informing my coach I was leaving the gym, I was still continuing to be charged. I ended up having to file a fraud claim through my bank and get a new card to get the charges to stop. I had to physically make it impossible for them to charge me again for the charges to stop. How crazy is that? Anyways, in the long run I ended up giving up boxing in totality and just focus on lifting now. This place crushed my confidence and I still haven't...

I was looking for a nearby place with lots of bags and training partners. The Fit Pit was perfect. There's not much in the way of classes there, but the gym seems to be open all day Mon-Sat. So it's VERY convenient.

Even more convenient was the price. I signed up with Art, the coach who runs the gym (think Rocky's coach from the movies), to do some Private Boxing Lessons. After all, they were only $30 an hr. And he seems to know his stuff. So I couldn't pass it up.

However, because my first lesson was considered an Intro Lesson, it was free. And because I bought 4 Private Lessons he added another 2 on top of it. So that's 7 Private Lessons for $120! Plus as long as I'm doing Private Boxing Lessons I have full use of the gym without paying anything else.

You can't beat the value of this place. I tipped him because it almost felt like he was giving me too much for too little. But Art seems like a genuine guy who just loves the sport of Boxing and when I asked him why he charges so little he said that he just wants to make sure everyone who wants to learn it gets that chance. That's...

I was visiting Austin from Chicago and knew i needed a place to train/do general fitness for the month and a half while I was in town. I have boxed casually (some smokers, sparring, general group classes) for 3.5 years and came across Easley Boxing. I signed up for classes and private sessions with Coach Mike and becoming a member of the gym was one my highlights of living in Austin.

Incredibly professional in the way they run their group classes, and absolutely fantastic trainers 1:1. Jodie and his team treat everybody with the same level of respect whether they are a pro, or a first time class taker (they have both there at the same time).

Working with Coach Mike in our 1:1 sessions immediately made me a better boxer . He was a great motivator, great instructor and knows what you need to hear to get you through a workout and the results you want.

Whether you want to go to the next level, learn to box, improve your boxing, or just ensure you balance out your eating habits in Austin, I can't recommend the friendly Easley boxing...
