My friend and I had our very first boxing experience at Spar. Coach Bobby was excellent!!! He gave us a great introductory lesson learning the basics (stance, footwork, punching, parrying) and then my friend and I had a mild 3 round spar. We had a wonderful time and will definitely do it again.

I first started Spar Houston in 2020. Cleanest, well organized, with the most patient and passionate coaches, boxing gym I have been to. I love the small group classes, fitted for all levels. Perfect place to learn correct fundamentals and techniques to prevent injuries! Shout out to the staff, especially Coach Bobby & Coach Keenan!!

I highly recommend Spar Boxing. The coaches energy and the atmosphere all around is truly unmatched. Stepping out of my comfort zone and trying Spar has been one of the best decisions I've made- I've gained new friends, new experiences, new knowledge and a confidence in myself that I haven't felt while training with anyone else before. Special thank you to all of the coaches- who aren't only training coaches, but life coaches as well. Give it a try, it's worth ALL of the hype.

I've trained with the owner Johnny for over 10 years now. Whether you're looking for fitness or how to protect yourself you will get both at Spar. My primary focus is technique and preparation, which is great here. The key factor is that actual fighters train here. Don't be intimidated as they tend to train at different hours than general public. Highly recommend if you want to get fit or more importantly learn to fight.
