Max, Colline, DJ, Julie, Greer and all the regular instructors & folks who work with OUTBOX are the most incredible people you could ever have the pleasure of learning from. The opportunity to take class with instructors who have lifetimes of experience in boxing, alongside fitness & personal training is beyond worthwhile.
Alongside Boxing the strength training/lifting classes are so incredible - I have seen so much progress since starting the upper body program that OUTBOX offers with coach Greer.
The space is perfect for smaller sized classes & I always feel like I have the room & access to equipment that I need. They also have a great format of levels to offer class to folks of varying experience. The different pop up events are also so fun - where else can you have a 'tops vs bottoms' themed workout class, haha.
OUTBOX has been a life changing space that has brought me confidence & community- it's a wonderful place to workout with kind knowledgeable instructors & general dynamic that I have not seen in other group fitness spaces as it comes directly from the lovely humans who cultivate the space.

Itās a gender neutral space with lots of beginner classes for all bodies and expressions, private training catering to individual ability and personal goals, as well as intermediate and advanced training/classes all run by experienced and knowledgeable coaches/trainers. Itās a super important/fun/knowledge and resource-pooling community space for queer/trans ppl -they also have an instagram @outboxnyc where you can keep up with events, screenings, parties, and pop-up classes!

Ā Ā Ā Read moreOf all the boxing gyms Iāve tried, Outbox is definitely my favorite. Unlike other classes Iāve tried which are geared more towards getting a workout than actually learning the sport, the instructors here actually really helped me develop my skills as a boxer. I feel like I improved so much with just one session with Max. If youāre actually trying to invest in the sport I highly recommend coming here. Aside from the technical expertise, Outbox is also such a supportive and friendly community to be a part of. When I first started I was a bit intimidated but everyone here made it fun and the environment is really open and non-judgmental. 10/10 youāll see me here...
