Boxing Brother Gim

I really miss this place. Not sure if any of you guys remember me. My name is Xander, and I went here about 3 times a week for about 7 months (from Feb. til close of 2008). I'm still looking for a similar gym but haven't found one yet. If any of the old members want to contact me, please do. My email is my username here at yahoo. I want a gym that trains people to fight but also uses the same training for people just wanting to be in the SHAPE of a fighter. Pros: Best people and fitness ever Cons: Never heard what happened and lost $120 for 2 months more

Hello former Boxing Brothers Members. Sorry to hear about the closing of the Boxing Brothers Gym as I enjoyed watching a few good fight nights over there in their former LA Boxing days. more

After the closing I looked all over Austin for a similar gym, but couldn't really find anything. Although it's definitely a different type of gym, I've started working out at XFC. They recently added cardio kickboxing classes to the schedule and have Janelle and Joseph (from boxing bros) teaching. They have a limited number of heavy bags, but in the near future are supposed to get a similar set up to boxing bros. more

does anybody know what will happen to that place ( as in will someone else take over and start a new gym there) or if they will re-open it again once they get their things figured out? more

My son had enjoyed the boxing with Domingo and working with Sursa. The family was nice all the times we went there and my husband and I enjoyed talking to Lou while our son worked out. more

Can anyone here recommend another boxing gym near Cedar Park? I searched out LA Boxing but I guess they closed down...not sure. more

I don't care what happened! The owners should've atleast shown enough respect to let their customers know with a sign or something what was going on. You know everything works out for a reason. I'm going to Bruce's boxing on Burnet rd off of 183 and it's a lot better. He actually teaches you the sport instead of just throwing you in with a cardio class and letting you do what you want (no offense to Domingo). The only drawback for those that were learning MMA is that he only teaches boxing. I've still lost a lot of weight though. He's also a lot tougher on you and his evening classes last longer than an hr. more

That is too bad to hear about this gym. Boxing and kickboxing where you can sweat without bowing to any master is a wonderful outlet for adults. Does anyone know if they plan to reopen, sell the gym or any of the equipment? more

I do not know what happened to the demise of this gym. I know that people are out of money and that should not be marginalized, however I find it sad that people who benefited from the great classes and the gym's amazing attitude are now so angry. I lost money as well. But I would gladly double the loss if it could bring that gym back. If you think you can meet people as nice and as accommodating as the brother's then you are extremely mistaken. I always felt welcome and at home when I was there for the short amount of time I was there. I am forty and have been to so many gyms that I can honestly say they had the best attitude and best classes in Austin. Now I am stuck with having to go to one of these Hokey eastern philosophy ""Martial Arts?"" schools which are nothing more than karate schools retooled to seem more in touch with the current MMA kickboxing fitness movement. If I have to see another boring wood breaking exhibition I think I will be sick. I don?t care how Neat or deadly it is to fight with swords I would rather leave that to the choreographers in Kung Fu movies. The no nonsense practical approach to fitness through MMA and Kickboxing made the place seem more serious that an aerobics class and less macho and pretentious as some goofy guy asking you to call him sensei or sifu or other such junk. Pros: best cardio classes ever Cons: gone more

All I have to say right now is ""this is so sad for the members and one of the owners"" . more

The property management co. is going to open the gym on Dec. 11th at 11:30am for members to claim any items they may have left. You must provide ID and proof that you were a member. Their contact info is: Huntington Properties 713-623-6944 more

Just wanted to let everyone know that if you contact your Bank or Credit Card company, whatever one you used to pay for Boxing Brothers, and you can file a claim against e-fit financial and get at least a months back of membership dues. I have Wells Fargo and they filed a claim against e-fit financial, they made a stop payment and waived the 29 dollar fee, and I had my monthly dues back in my account in 9 days. E-fit financial will not refund any money because of their contract with the gym, but your bank will help you out!! Hope this helps! more

I was advised that all contracts were cancelled for Boxing Brothers however they can provide no refunds since they were only the facilitator of the bills and didn't collect the money. So future payments will not come out of your accounts. more

HOW DARE YOU DAVID, PAUL, AND LOU????? Im lost for words, but Im mad as hell and will not stand by and let you take money that's not yours and step all of people!!! How could you do this to us. No email, no calls, not even NOTHING. Did you thinking that anyone was going to turn their heads and walk away?? Your company broke the contract we held. First you closed your doors and claimed monthly dues for OCT and NOV and second you took the money out brfore it was even due. And I'm taking action against all of you. I have filed a complaint with 3b,s aganist Brothers Boxing and eFit I will contacting a lawery tmw. You said everyone was like family do you really treat your family this way? What you guys have done is Fraud and you know this. I don't care if your doors open tmw you broke your word and where I come from your word is more then GOLD..... more

Same story as many of the others.....loved this facility for my teenage son. The owners were personable and helpful. The gym closed and there has been no word other than a misleading sign about a family emergency and later, a small note on the website. My son quit football at his high school to participate in the many classes revolving around MMA and he is quite disappointed. SHAME ON YOU! The worst thing has been that no matter what the difficulties with the gym has been, they have made no attempt to contact members. more

Like a bad marriage, it started out great but sadly ended very bad. Joined around feb 08. The instructors were HOT!!! It was a single ladies dream gym. Then the instructors quit or were fired, one hotty after another. No more Garret, Joseph, Alberto, even little Mike and Big Justin left. STRIKE ONE! We were left with crazy mma dudes that seemed to be on steroids and/or mar!juana, and a teenage bimbo that the owners seemed to have a thing for. Domingo and Freddy were ok, even though they weren't eye candy. STRIKE TWO!! Theeen they pull all this closing the gym down while still charging people bullSh*t. STRIKE THREE!!! I guess all good things must come to an end. My account is currently on hold according to the creditor pending further info from guess who...not cool. If the gym opens up like they say on their website, which I very much doubt, I'd advise anyone to stay away from it. Btw it used to be called LA boxing so if they change the name again buyer beware. Someone should open up a gym for women with Hot male instructors. I'd go :) Pros: Alot if you were a member a few months ago Cons: You can't get in more

Any news on this gym? Gone for good? Pros: Close to home Cons: It's closed more

Does anyone happen to know the number to Boxing Bros financing company number?! Pros: When they are open, its a great gym. Cons: They have been closed for almost 3 weeks of the month of October and are still charging members for the full month. more

I totally understand the money is thigh right now for a lot of people and it is affection local family owned bussiness. But the way this establishments is handleling the situation is the wrong one. I have been there 3 times since they got locked out and still no response from the owners, no calls to members or at least a decent sign explaining problems and posible solution. I would be happy if they say ""we working on it, it will take a week a month"" or wathever, but at least give your face to the members. I have talked to several members that were calling in the spot to cancel thier memberships, i dont want to go that route just yet, but would defenetly apreciate a response from the owners. All the ""family emergency sign"" and then the lock out sign is not a valid explanation. Im pretty sure there is lots of people like me that will understand the situation as long a proposed solution is given. And if the final desion may be to close down then they need to say somethhing before we get charged for another month, that we probably wont get a refund for. I just paid my dues on the 20 and is irritating that fro as much as I pay I can even go in. I have 4 memberships to the gyms in the area, and this one is defenetly the most pricy thatI have, wich is not problem because I enjoy it that much. But COME ON GUYS, dont be like this, show that you care and let the members know what is going on and and what is going to happen. more

I thought this was going to be a great gym for my teenager to learn to box but on my second trip there, the owners had been locked out by the landlord. Any information on what's going on? more
