Women’s Elite Boxing Club

I would say this class is 40% boxing, 60% full body workout via cardio and muscle toning.
This class is perfect if you want to be sore for a few days in between sessions and build/​tone muscle. My goal is to tone the muscle I do have and not bulk up too much. The instructor is AMAZING at keeping you motivated without being annoying or overbearing and makes the class go by super fast by creating new sets and activities every time I’ve been. The hour and a half flies by.

Absolutely loved this Saturday morning class!!! The class was very very challenging but the motivation of the trainor makes you want to push yourself. The Music was also fun! If you’re a beginner they give you a crash course on kickboxing technique. I would highly recommend this studio if you want a great full body work out! Can’t wait to go back!

My friend and I had been talking about taking boxing classes a lot, so we finally decided to make moves. We found Women’s Elite and bought a Groupon for 5 classes. I’m not sure if you could exactly call this a «boxing» class, but I can promise that you will be sore. It’s more of a total body workout that includes hitting the bag a little bit. Out of the hour and a half that you’re there for the class, you’ll probably hit the bag for a total of 10 minutes, max 20 depending on the trainer. That’s what disappointed me about the boxing club. Yeah, I know you need to be all around fit to box properly, but I came to learn how to box, not to have someone motivate me to workout. I know how to workout on my own. But I can say without any hesitation that I have NEVER been more sore in my life. The trainers will push you to your limits. If you tell them it’s your first class, they quickly teach you the basics (jabs and hooks) before the class starts so that you know what’s going on. We ended up renting wraps/​gloves every time, which is either $ 7 total if you have cash or $ 10 for card. Basically we ended up paying a lot of extra money, so I would recommend buying them if you’re going to continue boxing. There are only like 7 punching bags, so on a busy day you’ll end up sharing the bag with about 2 other people. The walls are hot pink, I guess to go along with the whole womens theme. I don’t think there’s AC, they just leave the doors open during class. I finished my Groupon last month, but I think I’m going to try and find a class that’s more boxing oriented.

I would not categorize this as an «elite» boxing establishment. I attended my first session this week. I arrived about 15 minutes prior to when they were supposed to open and was left outside waiting for someone to unlock the door almost 10 minutes past opening time. The gym is very small (without air conditioning) with limited bags — you only spend about 15 minutes doing bag work out of a 90 minute class. They played hard core rap music the entire time which I found lyrically offensive and far from «elite». I plan to use up the sessions I paid for with my groupon but I will not be returning afterwards.

I love this place. The boxing, the energy is crazy! Your workout is as good as it gets here! Stop going to other gyms, use WEBC. Total body workout including cardio and strength!

Women’s Elite has become such a staple in my life. I have given up my other gym memberships so I can work out here on a daily basis. Nigel and Stephan, both the owners and trainers, are some of the best people you will meet. They truly care about each person that walks through those doors, will get to know you immediately, and will continue to motivate and push you to work your hardest. I will say, the class is not for everyone, it’s 1.5 hours of truly challenging work outs, but I have seen so much change in my body in the last 4 months, and there is no greater reward than that. Since starting at WEBC my workouts have become one of the best parts of my day. I would encourage anyone looking to make serious changes in their life to at least TRY WEBC. I promise you will keep coming back!

Love this place. Awesome work out! Stephan pushes you to the limit! Burnn fat burn! lol

I love this place!!! I purchased the groupon and now have gone about 5 times. Stephan is a great trainer, he is tough, and he will push you to work harder and harder. They are 90 minute classes so be prepared to sweat!!! Stephan will push you to your limit and will keep reminding you to, WORK WORK WORK! Give this place a try, you will not regret it.

I have been to other MMA places and this is the best yet. The schedule/​hours work for my busy schedule and the training is challenging. I have been twice and I have never been so sore! Stephan has the toughest workouts but always reminds you to work. No pain; No Gain. I will definitely sign up as a member once my Groupon is used.

I visited this gym Saturday 8−2−14. I was excited to find a women’s boxing gym in Houston since I’m new to the area and had been boxing for almost 2 years in Chicago. Unfortunately, it was not a god experience for several reasons. The name of this gym and the class name and description are misleading. More than anything, it’s a strength workout. In a 90 minute class (which started at least 20 minutes late) we did, maybe, 15 minutes worth of bag work. The instructor did not offer any critique or comments on form or technique, nor did she have us doing any combination that made sense.
After class I asked both instructors if there were any classes that focused more on bag work, pad running, or combinations. They said it all depends on who is leading the class. Stephan then said there’s more to boxing then just the heavy bag. I said I understood that and that I came from a different format where strength was its own class and I was looking for the actual boxing workout class. He then talked about how you needed strength if you were going to be trained to fight. I asked oh you train to fight here? Where is the ring, in the other location? No response. I then asked if any of the instructors actually have a boxing background, i.e. Golden Gloves, amateur level X, etc. They do not. While some of them may be certified as a boxing workout instructor they do not have a background as current or former boxers. Stephan then went on to say in each class you’d get to the bag at least 2 times per class. I asked 2 rounds? He said yes. I said well a boxing round is 3 minutes so you are saying in a 90 minute class all you guarantee is 6 minutes of bag work? He said yes. That is not a boxing workout.
As for the gym itself, it’s quite small. It’s a storefront in a strip mall. There are only 5 or 6 bags (if you watch the videos on line you’ll see 4 people working on one bag at a time) which are suspended from a beam or something in the ceiling by taking the ceiling panels out. There is no ring. There are dumbbells, kettlebells, and yoga mats if needed.
If you are looking for a strength workout then maybe check this place out. The unlimited monthly class membership for $ 99 is comparable to what I’ve paid in the past. But again, this is not a boxing workout so $ 99 a month would be a little pricey for a bare bones gym where you are using mostly dumb bells and your own body weight resistance for a strength workout. I can’t recommend this place for either women who have past experience with boxing or for those looking to try a boxing workout for the first time.

The trainers here does a great job in motivating us to go past our limits. I was introduced to this place by a friend of mine back in October with a LivingSocial deal. At first, I was rather hesitant to particpate in this kind of sport. However, I noticed a transformation just after 4 sessions. I was able to walk into work every morning without feeling sluggish like I normally do! The pain of being sore never felt so good. After using up my coupon, I came back in February and signed up for a membership. Since then, I have been going to classes 3 – 4 times per week. I have gained nearly 10 pounds of muscle. Highly satisfied with my mind and body!

Love the atmosphere.
Love the trainers.
Love the people I bust a sweat with.
Love coming in on a bad day, with a bad mood cause they know how to turn a frown upside down (this is from personal experience).
Love the way they know your limits and know how to push to better goals.
Love their motivation!
Love the owners 100%!
Love Nigel, love Stephane, love Karina, love Nari, love Rocky, love Chalise, love everyone!!!
I can’t express how much more I love this place!!!

I’m more into yoga and pilates than hitting stuff, but I do appreciate variety, so I decided to check out boxing. After 5 times I’m still not any more keen on hitting stuff — however, this is great exercise. No workout has been the same so far, and I’m always sore after a session here.
Negatives are: the place could be cleaner, and sometimes the instructors don’t seem totally engaged in teaching (once the instructor was not even wearing workout clothes, and a couple of times they have seemed to be making up the workout as we went along… and they were not good at that).
Rocky is my favorite instructor! She was in my first class as a participant, and before I knew she’d be teaching I was already thinking, «wow, that girl kicks butt.» The other instructors I’ve had… I did not think they were that kicka$$ on their own, but they still made me work.
I do think this is a place worth checking out, especially if you get an online deal. I can see how this would whip someone into shape quickly, with regular attendance. And the all-​girl thing is a nice change from typical gym environments!

I got a great deal from living social from this place a while back.
I love this place. Yes, the place is small but the trainers do a good job with what space is provided.
I always leave with a pool of sweat.
The trainers give it their all for the 1.5 hours you are there and even modify some of the workouts if needed.
I have seen such improvement in my body.
Prepare for a full body workout. Make sure to stretch when you can or you will be in a world of pain the next few days.

i am giving the Women’s Elite Boxing Club 5 stars because of the energy they put out there for us who are asking to be trained. I also bought a good deal through Amazon local. Yes it is a small training center but it was professional and yet the trainers are understanding if you need to take a break. It was an awesome workout. I am stretching every chance I get and I can’t wait to go back for my next session.

I had a living social deal and my good gf wanted to try it out so I tagged along and I LOVED IT. From what I understand they just started this place so be ware it is a little small and a lot of girls for a small space but they really do make it work. The other reviewers are right the A/​C really doesn’t work but I didn’t mind it all. Im the type that if i dont sweat then i dont feel like i have worked out. If you want a good workout and want to burn some serious calories then this is the place for you. These girls put you to work so be ready!!!

I love this place. I have always wanted to try boxing, and Living Social gave me the opportunity to try it out. I bought 8 sessions last month (June 2013), and I’ve already used them all. After one month, I see awesome results. The work outs are challenging, but great! I have never sweated so much. I have done Crossfit, pilates, yoga, Zumba. you name it! Boxing is finally the one I have really enjoyed.
The trainers are fun, encouraging, and challenging. Each trainer has a different set of workouts, so you never get bored.
This place only gets 4 stars, because the facility is lacking. It could be updated and more cleanly. One time when I was in class, we were doing cardio drills and a wood panel from the floor slipped out. The a/​c is very nonexistent, so get ready to sweat.

I tried this place from a Groupon. I loved that it was all female, and the décor inside was fun. I definitely got a workout. However, I was trying out boxing for the first time. I sent an email and had asked what all I needed or needed to bring and whatnot. I did not get a response. Come to find out, I was supposed to have bought gloves, wraps, and a yoga at. I did not want to buy materials for a sport I was unsure of continuing or not, it depended if I liked it. Luckily, they had one extra pair that I could borrow. It was a fun session and fast paced. However, I wish they had air conditioning. I was working hard and had water, however, with it being a very hot day, having the door open, and turning the fans off, I overheated a bit and to sit down every so often. I got dizzy and she told me that was normal. No ma’am. I work-​out and such and getting dizzy is not okay. The place is not bad, just needs to improve upon a few things.

Love love love this place. They are so friendly and they never make anyone feel bad for not being able to keep up with the others. They seem to remember if someone has an injury or something and they modify the workouts accordingly. This is my first attempt at a boxing type workout and I think Im in love.
