Admittedly, there aren’t tons of great boxing gyms in Oklahoma City for you to choose from but we’ve found a handful that are definitely worth a visit.
Let’s take a look:
My preference is always for those rare, pure, old school boxing gyms, free of ego, and full of passion for the sport. But sometimes I include the odd boxercise place because I know that not everyone wants the nitty gritty of actual combat.
Why listen to me: I’ve been boxing as an amateur for 6 years and trained in countless boxing gyms around the world from Seattle to Spain. I’ve learnt that picking the right gym can literally change your life and want to help you do the same. Learn more about me here.

You won’t find a bad word said about Roughhouse Boxing and Fitness.
Everything from the quality of the coaching to the intensity of the workout is just what you would hope for from a boxing gym.
Roughhouse is a pure boxing gym that will teach you the real art of the sport. Don’t let that intimidate you though: the gym has attracted a really good group of people so the energy here is super friendly and motivating, free of egos.

- Address: 5001 N Rockwell Ave (Bethany)

- Pricing: $129 / month (unlimited classes)

Oklahoma Boxing & Combat Sports is hugely popular with its members who mostly praise the family friendly atmosphere and the top quality coaching.
Maurice and his team (including his wife Dora) work hard to ensure that everyone feels welcome and that everyone is getting individual attention to meet their personal goals.
Don’t let their friendliness deceive you though – this is a proper combat sports gym training real boxing! You’ll be able to get involved in sparring if you want to or train for competitive bouts.
They have packed daily schedule, offering up to 6 classes everyday, including for kids and for people with Parkinson’s disease.
Definitely one of the best boxing gyms in town. Well worth a visit.
3️⃣ Western Avenue Boxing Gym
- Summary: A welcoming environment to learn proper boxing and get fighting fit
- Address: 4408 N Western Ave
- Google rating: 4.7
- Opening hours: M-F: 3:30pm – 8pm, Sa: 9am-1pm
- Pricing: $115 / month (unlimited classes)
- Best for: psychos!
- Online: website, Facebook, Instagram
One member of Western Avenue Boxing Gym simply says: “If you’re a glutton for punishment, this is the place to be.”, another says “Travis and Beck are the best psycho’s in the world”! If you’re looking for a proper workout then look no further.
They describe themselves as a hybrid fitness to fighting gym and so place a big emphasis on coaching proper boxing form and technique while also ensuring you get one hell of a workout.
Everyone from fitness junkies to competitive boxers are welcome here, and the gym has a very strong family feel that makes several members describe it as a second home.
They usually host 3 classes everyday (mainly in the afternoons) across technical boxing, boxing conditioning, and kids classes. Private lessons are also available.
Western Avenue is no doubt one of the best boxing gyms in Oklahoma City. I’d love to train here – go check it out!
4️⃣ Rival Boxing Gym
- Summary: Under-the-radar competitive boxing gym owned by large boxing corp
- Address: 330 SW 25th Street
- Google rating: 4.0
- Opening hours: n.a.
- Pricing: n.a.
- Best for: serious competitive boxers
- Online: website, Facebook, Instagram
Details about this place are pretty hard to come by. What we do know is that it is owned by Rival Boxing which is a large boxing company that makes gloves and other boxing gear.
There aren’t really any reviews about it either. Strange that they don’t make more effort to attract more members. Perhaps it’s deliberate.
It’s a pure boxing gym that trains amateurs for The Golden Gloves so if you’re keen to get competitive and join a boxing team then it could be worth checking it out.
But you’ll have to pay them a visit in person to find out more about pricing, schedule etc.
5️⃣ Rumble Boxing
- Summary: High end boxercise franchise. Not really boxing but a great workout
- Address: 6460 Avondale Dr (Nichols Hills)
- Google rating: 5.0
- Opening hours: M-F: 6am-7:30pm, Sa: 8-11:45am, Su: 9am-2:45pm
- Pricing: $25 / class
- Best for: fitness fanatics with big budgets
- Online: website, Facebook, Instagram
Rumble Boxing is a high-intensity, group fitness class that combines boxing-inspired movements with strength and cardio exercises.
The class is designed to improve overall fitness, build strength and endurance. The facility is modern, clean and well equipped with locker rooms and anything else you need.
During a typical Rumble Boxing class, you’ll be led through a series of rounds that alternate between boxing combos and strength exercises such as squats, lunges, and push-ups.
The class is typically set to high-energy music and led by an instructor who motivates participants to push themselves to their limits.
This definitely isn’t a combat boxing gym – you won’t get much proper boxing instruction here – but it’s a great way to stay fit while throwing some punches. Warning, Rumble gyms are usually pretty pricey…

How to pick a Oklahoma City boxing gym❓
- Coaches – an experienced, motivating coach makes all the difference. Not just when it comes to improving your technique but also in encouraging you to keep coming back time and time again. Becoming a good boxer takes a long time and so it’s important you find a coach that you click with if this is something you want to do for many years. Reviews will often focus on coaches so try looking for those for some insights.
- Convenience of location and class timings – this is key. My boxing gym is on the same block as my home so I have no excuse not to go almost everyday, even if I’m not feeling up to it. Finding a gym that’s close to home or work will make your life much easier and help to make going to boxing training a habit. The same applies to class timings, if you have to massively disrupt your day to get to a class because it doesn’t fit your schedule then you’re going to be less likely to go.
- Gym focus – I don’t have a problem with boxercise classes, but make sure you know what you’re signing up for if you join one of these. Boxercise is very different than actually learning how to fight and getting sparring experience. If you truly want to learn how to box then you need to box. That involves punching other people and getting punched yourself.
- Trial class – most boxing gyms will allow you to have a free trial class so you can get a feel for the place before you sign up. This is a great way of evaluating whether you like the coach, the energy, and the focus of the gym. Always worth asking for a free trial class if you’re not sure whether it’s offered.
How much do boxing gyms in Oklahoma City cost? 💰
- Monthly memberships: ~$80-120 per month. Most places offer unlimited classes to their members. Be sure to check for this.
- One-on-one personal training: This varies a lot but usually costs around $50 per hour as a minimum.
- Drop-in boxing classes for non-members: ~$15-$30 per class
- Initiation fee: not all places make you pay one of these (and I’m not a fan of it) but those that do usually charge a one-off fee of $50-$100
12th Round 🔔
Ok so Oklahoma City isn’t bursting with great boxing gyms but at least there are a handful of top places to train at. If you can make it to Oklahoma Boxing, Western Avenue, or Roughhouse Boxing then you’re guaranteed a high quality, authentic boxing experience.
Happy fighting!🥊🥊
