Front Range Boxing Academy

I was a runner in high school and a competitive fencer in college and for several years thereafter. I enjoy hiking and biking and a generally active lifestyle. Nevertheless, I have never in my life been as strong or physically fit as the version of me that has survived a year’s worth of classes at Front Range. Boxing workouts are, hands-​down, the best exercise I know, a combination of strength and endurance training that is fortunately so much fun, we often forget how hard it is.
While I have discovered back muscles I didn’t know I had and I’ve definitely had to tighten the belt on my work pants a couple notches, I think the thing I like the most about Front Range is that these aren’t the big end-​goals of the gym. When female boxers train together, it’s never about «getting skinny,» it’s about getting better at boxing. On the flip side, the BS machismo that is so prevalent in this kind of a gym is totally absent at Front Range. This gym seems to foster a real sense of comradery, with every student genuinely ready with help or advice for a beginner, and equally receptive to advice or criticism from other boxers. In that sense, it is a far cry from almost every competitive sport facility I have ever encountered!
Boxing at Front Range has been a serious source of stress-​relief for me since I moved to Boulder for a new job, and I have made some of my closest friends here while sweating out a few rounds on the heavy bag. I have only positive things to say about this fine institution!

I’ve been boxing at Front Range for the last seven years. Whether I’m looking to keep in shape, get ready for a fight, or relieve some stress, this is my go-​to gym.

Awesome place with awesome people. Can’t say enough great things about everyone there. If you are looking to learn the sweet science of boxing and focus on technique this is the place to be!
