Fantastic experience: Pablo is a fantastic and very thorough coach and he's quite attentive with everyone. The atmosphere he set up is quite ideal to keep advancing in boxing.

Fantastic experience: Can not highly recommend this place such an awesome place to train. Had a ball training while on holiday and was treated like a member and picked up some very useful pointers in technique

Fantastic experience: I first started training at Counterpunch 4 years ago and got absolutely hooked from the start. I really enjoyed how Pablo and team worked us out to be challenged and learn new skills. I recently returned to CP after trying other gyms and not finding the epic knowledge and vibes that CP has anywhere else. Pablo and Kris make an awesome team and they really make you feel like family. The tunes are on point and motivate you to give it your all. The gym has everything you need to become a skilful boxer, get strong and challenge yourself. The time in the ring with Pablo is where it all comes together, since he always has a cool combo and footwork drills to throw at you. I am so happy to be back.

Fantastic experience: The best boxing gym you will find. I have never seen more caring and cultivative trainers and people, dedicated to pugilism and getting YOU fit. They give a good variety of lessons so theres something for everyone, all you have to do is show up, they'll take care of the rest.

Fantastic experience: Pablo and Ellie are the Ali and Tyson of boxing trainers. If your looking for a high intensity workout combined with high level boxing coaching and expertise - this is your crew!

Fantastic experience: Great classes mixing skill and fitness

Fantastic experience: The love affair began in 2020, After the wild state of the world, i started training at Counterpunch, looking to be pushed hard. The solid workouts, mitt and bag work, and boxing technique has kept me going back daily. The studio has a unique vibe that has become like home. I know I will always have a solid workout focused on power and pace. Pablo is an incredible coach, always teaching with kindness and support, but pushing me harder than I thought I could go. Ellie has fun loving but tough training style, will make me work hard but laugh amongst it all. Forever grateful!

Fantastic experience: Counterpunch is an awesome boxing gym. Pablo is a great instructor and the whole team is really inclusive and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Obssesed is an understatment! I've been training at counterpunch for the past 3 years, it has become my second home. Pablo is extremely knowledgeable, extremely encouraging and a great coach. I have learnt so much from him. Plus the community is extremely supportive, the vibes are always on point, the music (thanks to the queen kris) is always pumping. So, if you're looking to get fit, learn some awesome boxing techniques and have the best time, counterpunch is highly highly recommended. Much love for my CP family

Fantastic experience: Have been going for a few months now and enjoy every session...Pablo, Kristine and Ellie are all super passionate, patient and welcoming...Pablo's knowledge is immense and he is always willing to pass it on...love it here...even at 5.30am!!...

Fantastic experience: The best boxing workouts are here ! The studio is spacious and offers all the equipment you need to build muscle, train and perfect your moves. The trainers are real pros who make you progress with each session and really help you correct your movements. At every session, I learn something new and I feel like I'm pushing my limits a little further. I also feel and see the transformation of my body, in a very good way. The playlist is DOPE : super motivating and perfect for letting off steam and challenging yourself. It’s a 10 out of 10 I also loved the fact that you can try it out for a month for just $99, wraps and gloves included. That’s what I did before signing up.

Fantastic experience: Nice place to start to do boxing and the environment is super friendly. Pablo have lot of experience, every day you always learn something New, Kris always with a big smile and Ellie she will make you on shape for summer hahaha. I recommend it 100%!!

Fantastic experience: The team at Counterpunch is 2nd to none. Love everything about this gym and it's community. Cannot recommend enough !

Fantastic experience: I joined Counterpunch just under 4 years ago. I had never done any formal exercise, and my initial goal was just to get/stay in better shape because I was at my desk 12 hours a day during COVID. However, the passion, energy and excitement of the studio, the perfect balance of taking the sport seriously but not themselves too seriously and the amazing technical feedback and development of the art of boxing had me hooked with the first few weeks. This is an outstanding place to learn the sport or just to get in better shape by doing something that is helpful and meaningful (vs. just lifting weights). I cannot recommend Counterpunch highly enough (and I have my kids all going too !!)

Fantastic experience: Counterpunch in Byron Bay offers an exceptional boxing experience that goes beyond just training – it’s a true community. The coaching is top-tier, not only in terms of boxing skills but also in the way they genuinely care about you as a person. Counterpunch feels like a family, where everyone supports each other and improves together. The positive energy in this place makes you feel great every day. I can’t recommend it enough – so much love for this incredible gym and the people who make it special!

Fantastic experience: I have yet to find a better gym than counterpunch! I started training here about 2 years ago and have never felt stronger in my life. Pablo does a fantastic job incorporating skills, conditioning, strength and sparring into multiple sweat-dripping classes every day. The environment Pablo and Kris have created is warm and welcoming with high vibes and great tunes to accompany it! Safe to say, I’m absolutely HOOKED (pun intended)

Fantastic experience: My first time at Counterpunch was 2 years ago, and I haven't been able to stay away since. It has become my favorite sport and has brought out the best in me in all aspects. I feel much stronger, happier, and more confident, and I'm also much fitter! Counterpunch has also become my little community and family, where I have met good friends whom I love so much! I truly recommend it!!

After moving away and going to other boxing gyms I can hands down say Pablo and Kris have created a space like no other. It’s a safe space and you’ll leave feeling energized each and every time.

Fantastic experience: The skill and knowledge that Pablo brings to EVERY class blows my mind and I have been going to CP for over two years. I’m continuously learning while keeping fit and feeling incredibly strong. Whether you are a beginner or an advance boxer everyone needs counterpunch in their lives!!!

Fantastic experience: We absolutely love Counterpunches’ kids classes. Our children attend twice a week and it is an all round fitness and focus lesson for children. Love it!!!!

Fantastic experience: Best boxing studio in Byron Bay! I’ve trained at several gym/boxing studios both in Byron and Brisbane, Counterpunch has by far exceeded all of them. Pablo is an amazing trainer. Whether you’re a first-timer or a pro, Pablo knows exactly what you need. Not only you would walk out feeling like a badass after each session, you’ll also be fit and strong both physically and mentally. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. Kristine and Pablo will make you feel right at home as soon as you walk through the door. So do yourself a favor and give it a go. You can thank me later ;)

Fantastic experience: A greeting of smiling faces and expert guidance ... these guys are the best!! An all round body workout and a technical focus too. So much fun you'll wonder where the time went. But a warning ... it's addictive!!! :)

Fantastic experience: You will love this gym! Pablo takes a lot of time and care to ensure every person who attends a class gets not only a worthwhile workout, but has constant improvement on their technique. I've learnt more in the past 6 months than I have in 7 years of boxing. I have nothing but praise for this studio. Expect to show up, train bloody hard and walk away challenged everytime. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t say enough good things about this place. Training is personalised to suit all levels, even in group sessions. Classes are fun yet super focused. Great vibe. Be prepared to sweat. A lot..

Fantastic experience: Pablo’s boxing classes are more than just about fitness, they have taught me discipline, strength and endurance. I absolutely love the classes and come away fitter and stronger every time. Would highly recommend everyone try Counterpunch, you will be hooked after 1 day!

Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough good things about Counterpunch! Excellent team, environment and workout.

Fantastic experience: Great boxing gym. Well worth the private lesson. Pablo's a great instructor!!

Fantastic experience: Where else do you see a tenfold improvement in one lesson? I couldn't skip to save my life. It was one skip and then trip; but after Pablo's patient, good-humoured tutelage I was performing the minor miracle - for me - of ten in a row. The bloke is a born teacher and presides, with an exceedingly pleasant manner, over a particularly user-friendly boxing gym. The gym and Pablo are both great assets to Byron. Give them a go, you'll be glad you did.

Fantastic experience: I’ve done hundreds of hours of training with Pablo., and I enjoy every minute of it. Predominantly, we train for Muay Thai, but recently we’ve been honing my boxing skills, and focusing on the technicalities and technique. Every session I’m learning something from Pablo, no matter how many years I’ve been training. He’s an excellent coach, and a lovely guy. Looking forward to many more hours of training with Pablo. One of the best, and I’ve trained with some world class trainers.

Fantastic experience: Pablo is an amazing coach. Has the ability to challenge and bring you to your personal edge. Love training with him since years. He is so patient , knowledgeable and has a big heart. Never needs to show off. Great with kids and adults . An absolute pleasure to train with . Would recommend Pablos gym to anyone. Kasha

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Ellie for roughly five months now and it has been an absolutely transforming experience for me! I never thought I would EVER go to a gym. I used to wear a uniform of “black, baggy, and invisible”. I wouldn't allow anyone to take my photo, and would avoid getting into my swimsuit at all costs. I was in a bad place. It was when I hit an all time low, that Ellie reached out to me. I immediately felt so comfortable training with Ellie. She has guided me with eating plans, and exciting goals. I find that I now have more energy throughout the day, and a happy, healthy lifestyle. She gave me a reason to get up in the morning. Since training with Ellie, I've started to challenge myself in many areas of my life after seeing myself succeed in just one. I received a new confidence that I just didn't see coming. Counterpunch has a safe and happy atmosphere - perfect if, like me, the thought of the gym makes you feel uncomfortable. The team are truly supportive, and welcome those from all walks of life, and fitness levels. I always leave feeling full of encouragement, and ready to take on the day ahead of me.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this studio! Trainers are all motivational and highly qualified. An awesome space to get healthy and feel fierce.

Fantastic experience: Amazing crew! Fun, intriguing, loving the atmosphere! 10/10 would recommend to come and try out a few classes !
