About (US)Westside Fitboxing

We’re a women-owned, locally operated fitness studio in Santa Cruz offering fitness kickboxing and strength classes for all levels. Our studio focuses on building strength, confidence, and community—no experience required.

Founded by former athletes and busy moms, Westside Fitboxing was created to be more than just a workout. We saw the need for a space that strengthens both body and mind, offers a powerful outlet for stress and energy, and brings people together through movement.

Our Training Approach

Drawing on our backgrounds in martial arts, competitive sports, and fitness training, we developed a dual-focus program: high-intensity heavy-bag Fit-Boxing to build strength, endurance, and resilience, paired with Pilates-based conditioning to improve mobility, core stability, and balance.

Our fitness philosophy blends intensity with functional movement, offering a smarter, more effective alternative to traditional gym workouts—without the intimidation.

Why We Do This

Our mission is to build a strong, connected community through an inclusive, results-driven environment that empowers people to reach their full fitness potential. We know many fitness spaces—especially boxing and kickboxing gyms—can feel intimidating. That’s why we created Westside Fitboxing as a welcoming, supportive place where everyone can train with confidence.

No egos. No judgment. Just positive energy, genuine support, and a shared commitment to getting stronger—together.
