Archetype is a new hidden gem in the boxing community in Austin. This gym integrates knowledgeable and fun coaches with a truly unique class format. I've tried out many different boxing gyms in multiple cities/states and its always a mix of ... you walk in on your second day and is thrown into a sparring session orrrr... one coach yells instructions to a class of 30 people and then walks around as people do circuits. At Archetype, there are multiple coaches that focus on a specific part of the exercise wether its bag work or partner drills in the ring. Its like you're getting a semi private lesson regardless of how many people are in the class! The lessons, while following a certain theme, are also changed daily so regular members are constantly challenged with new techniques and combinations. I think this is a great workout for people with or without boxing experience. From the classes I have been able to attend so far It is the smallest things that make the biggest difference. The coaches remember your names, they ask about your hobbies, they care about your growth. The members don't have egos, they introduce themselves and help each other out. The facility is clean and well kept. Overall it has been a fantastic experience training here. Less
After getting jumped by a group of 7-9 year old Girl Scouts, I knew I needed to build my confidence and find a fitness outlet that would give me the tools to defend myself.

I gave Archetype a try, and I'm so glad I did. Natalie, Tyson, and Sean are all fantastic coaches. They make you feel welcomed immediately, they're exceptional teachers, and they're great people. Every class is a great workout, and it's been awesome to learn something totally new to me. If you're thinking about trying out a class, you won't regret it. Don't worry about being a beginner, from day 1, the instruction is personalized and you learn at your own pace. I can say with confidence that I'll be ready for the next troop of Girl Scouts that tries to rob me. Thank you, Archetype team! Less
While in Austin I found Archetype Boxing Club. It was a great place, looked good and felt good. This is probably the best merger of fitness and true boxing I've experienced. It's smart, convenient, and still boxing.
10/10 recommend!! I have been to 2 other boxing/kickboxing gyms in Austin and this is by far the best. Not only do they focus a lot on skill and technique, but they go the extra mile to make sure everyone feels comfortable and included. The instructors have really created a great community there!!

If you’re a beginner looking to learn proper technique and get into shape, the coaches are very knowledgeable and friendly so you’ll feel supported every step of the way. They also offer advanced classes for experienced boxers that teach proper ring and defensive techniques. I absolutely love the structure of the classes and that there are always several coaches coming around to help you make improvements and motivate you. The gym has quality equipment and everything you need to polish your boxing skills - cobra reflex bags, double end bags, speed bags, leather heavy bags, and a full size ring. Awesome vibe all around. I’ve been coming here for almost a year and it really feels like a community. Everyone (members and coaches) make you feel welcome and supported. Come check it out and fall in love with boxing. Less

Absolutely fabulous gym. They teach to all levels and really support beginners. The classes are the perfect size for diversity of partners and individualized coaching. The staff is attentive and gives clear feedback that focuses on building good habits and improving technique. In just a few months, I have obtained a solid boxing foundation that has helped me start sparring with confidence. That’s the key. Confidence. The community is optimized for each member to leave the gym with confidence in their body control, power, and movement. It starts with the wonderful coaches and percolates into the members. I have yet to meet an unfriendly face. It’s not just a workout; it’s a chance to learn a sport from caring people who really know what they’re doing. Less
I cannot express how much I love this place, the coaches, and the people who go to Archetype! Not only do you get a killer workout in, you build a foundational skill set, and best of all a community of great people!

As a first time boxer- they really take the time to show you the ropes, like good form with punches, how you should move your body for each, and the technical skillset needed for combinations. Also, I love the way they teach the classes, honestly you will never get bored. Every class is unique with different combinations, skill levels, and options. By the time class is finished you don’t even realize time is up! If you are looking for a place to have fun working out and also gain a new skillset this is the place for you! Less

Great workouts, even better coaching!
LOVE
Can't recommend this place highly enough. These guys strike a perfect balance between a workout and actually learning technique. These guys really know their stuff without taking themselves too seriously. No commitment needed. You can pay for a single class, they'll show you the ropes. For me, one class was enough to decide to sign up for a full on membership.
Great coaches. Great energy. Top-notch facility and equipment. Can’t go wrong!
Best 45 minutes of the day when we get to work out with Sean and the crew! Highly recommend!!
Awesome and fun place to get a great workout! Sean and Tyson are super knowledgeable and do a great job giving everyone personal attention and correcting form. Natalie is a pocket pitbull - don’t let her size fool you she is a beast! And Cory seemed to be my personal hype coach, kept me going when I wanted to give up and kept my attitude in check.

The team is so welcoming and encouraging. As someone completely new to boxing, it was incredibly intimidating to go to my first class. But, there is no judgement and they deeply are rooting for you to succeed. It’s an incredible work out and going to class is becoming one of my favorite parts of my week.
They’re revolutionizing the game! Such an awesome experience every time you step into ABC. The coaches are very knowledgeable and teach you the proper skills and techniques for boxing.

This is the best workout and boxing gym to join that caters to any skill level. I immediately cancelled my gym membership after signing up. Archetype has a convenient location, flexible time slots, and the entire team is amazing. My only regret is not finding and joining this gym sooner.
If you’re looking for a boxing gym / workout in Austin, this is the place no matter the skill level. Fun, clean and professional
Archetype is one of the best boxing gyms I have ever been too. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, it is a wonderful atmosphere, and you will get a great workout and have fun doing it. Whether you're a seasoned boxer or this is your first class, Archetype is the best place to be.
Such a good workout. The staff is friendly & facilities are clean, too. I’ll be back 🥊💥
Great gym and coaches. Has helped me lose close to 40lbs over the course of 6 months. Punching is fun.
Archetype is excellent. Tyson, Sean, Natalie and Cory are all super supportive, really hands-on and completely welcoming to people of all skillsets. I had never boxed before in my life (or done any martial arts of any sort) and they treated me like I'd been coming there the whole time. On top of that, the classes are non-stop, fun and exhausting.

If its your first time and you really want a workout, come to the Saturday class. It's a little longer than the week-day classes and includes a "cool-down", which is in quotes because its just as hard if not harder than the rest of the class. Less
Incredible boxing gym in Austin. Sean, Natalie, Tyson are unbelievable coaches.
This is a top-notch boxing gym that's super welcoming to beginners. Found this boxing on ClassPass and have been attending morning classes ever since! Sean, Tyson and Natalie are knowledgeable, helpful and unassuming. Highly recommend for boxers at any level. Pace of classes is high, so you'll get a great workout and instructors will ensure technique isn't sacrificed in the process. A+
Super cool place and concept. Coaches Natalie and Tyson were not only very knowledgeable and talented when it comes to boxing, but also two of the nicest and most fun people to be around. I've had some experience with boxing and jiu jitsu gyms, but my dad was completely new to boxing.

I took my very first boxing classes at Archetype and loved every second! Very approachable environment with pristine equipment and amazing instructors. I had a great workout and picked up new techniques. Would love to come back!

The coaches here are top notch! I love coming in for classes and that feeling hasn’t changed in 3+ months. The community is phenomenal! All the members are friendly and it really helps shape the vibe of the entire gym.
What a great place. Super clean and modern. Staff has amazing knowledge. Super patient and engaging. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn boxing and/or get a fantastic full body workout while learning something new and being challenged.
The team is amazing - they make it super welcoming for beginners and have built a supportive community for all.

Top class facility! Friendly atmosphere, great equipment, expert coaches, good community, and looks super cool as well. If you’re in anywhere in Austin, this is the place to go to if you want to learn how to box but find traditional boxing gyms daunting. Absolutely nailed it guys 🥊💪🏼

So you might think it would be intimidating to go as a first-timer without any boxing experience. This couldn’t be further from the truth! The environment is super welcoming, and the coaches are super friendly. At no point did it ever feel like others judged me for my lack of experience. Plus, the coaches did take the time to train me properly. By the end of our session, not only did I get a great workout, but I came out of this with some knowledge of proper boxing form. If you’re in the Austin area, CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! Less

When gathering additional information regarding classes and membership at Archetype Boxing Cub, I was helped by Danielle. She really helped to make my first interaction fun and welcoming. Made my decision to join that much easier.

ABSOLUTE BEST IN TOWN ‼️
We visited this gym after hearing so many positive reviews. Danielle and her staff were amazing. I never liked working out but this was a lot of fun. We will definitely be back as soon as possible! 5 ⭐️ all the way!
This place is fantastic! Welcoming and friendly staff and trainers make for an easy environment if you are getting into boxing for the first time. They are passionate about the sport and will help you get whatever it is you need out of your personal fitness goals. Highly recommend checking them out!

So grateful to join Archetype Boxing Club. The coaches are top notch professionals and continue to guide me in transforming my body and mind! Although the workout is challenging, they make it fun!
I have been boxing for 8 years and so far this is the best boxing gym and experience I have had! They focus on the fundamentals of boxing while giving you a great workout.

Had an awesome time at Archetype. The instructors and owners are all super knowledgeable and patient with beginners (like myself)! It was a solid workout and a very welcoming environment. Highly recommend!

Archetype is fantastic and my new favorite workout. It's as tough of a workout as you want to make it, which caters towards any fitness level and generally allows for modifications. The owner/instructors are all super knowledgeable, hands-on, and friendly, so fully feel free to walk in with zero experience and get plenty of help. That to say, if you have experience, they're powerhouses and will tweak you're already-rocking-style, no doubt. I find the entire atmosphere welcoming, fun, and empowering. What to expect? The workout consists of a warmup with body movements, such as pushups, squats, lunges, jump rope, etc., and is followed by three rotations: heavy bag, speed bag, and partner work in the ring (no, you're not going to get punched in the face!) The 45 minute class goes by really quickly. I'm always drenched in sweat; it's effective cardio that is actually fun/stress-relieving, powerful. It will leave you wondering how you ever did monotonous cardio machines. Come for a drop-in class and you'll be hooked...ha! Less

Great new boxing gym in Austin! Even if you have never boxed before you will enjoy this gym and get a great workout. Boxing gyms and instructors can be intimidating to try but Archetype does a good job at structuring the class size and flow to all skill levels. They focus on technique but not so much so that it takes away from you getting a good workout in. The classes include a mix of heavy bag work, holding combos with a partner, speed bags, and body weight movements/abs. The instructors will also do private sessions for those who are interested in 1:1 work. They have gloves there for members to use, as well as clean showers and bathrooms. The instructors clean everything thoroughly after every class. The owners also went all out designing this gym - I love the old school boxing posters as wall paper. The owners, gym staff, and instructors are really what set this gym apart from the rest. They are enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and all around good people! Go try a class and you will not regret it!

I had a great experience at my first boxing session. The coaches are friendly and do a great job explaining the technique/ basics to beginners. We worked the speed bag, double end bag, and heavy bag - the equipment is A-1. By the end I was taxed and felt accomplished. If you're reading this, join a class already.
Fun place to work out. I am a senior (65+) and I had a blast!
Bought a class for my boyfriend and they put you to work! We tried the morning class which worked perfectly for our schedules. Sean and Tyson spent time showing the mechanics and technique along with some basic fundamentals. Can’t wait to come back for class!
Super fun. And welcoming to beginners 🙋🏻♀️
Great boxing gym! The vibe is inspiring, equipment high quality, and the coaches truly know boxing. Highly recommended for a beginner or even an experienced boxer.
Awesome work out, very nice facility and great people.
Best Boxing Gym in Austin!!! Sean is very knowledgeable.
