I found out about The Stables from winning an auction item. I'm so glad I did! Cary is a fabulous teacher and coach, and knows her craft. After doing martial arts for years, but lacking in coordination, Cary's class was a great transition to maintain a momentum. She teaches the basics of boxing for beginners, and beyond for the more experienced boxer. Technique is so important in boxing so you don't hurt yourself, and don't get hit. Cary is very experienced, tough and knowledgeable. It's refreshing to learn the sport more intricately from a woman who knows, understands, and has lived the sport. And doesn't judge. She can kick ass in a bar fight. The classes are challenging and fun, but at an hour, a great, high intensity workout in a brief time period. Not to mention she offers challenges to help you "cut weight" if you need to. That alone has changed my life. Thank you Cary!

Really phenomenal experience. It’s a smaller gym with Cary running the show. The Stables is a gem in the sense that it’s a real boxing studio. You learn how to correctly box, regardless if you ever want to enter the ring. Small class size allows Cary to focus on your form and technique to allow for corrections. It’s almost like getting personal training without the price tag! If you’re interested in really learning the sport, give The Stables a try!

I trained at The Stables with Cary for over a year and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her gym/training to anyone who wants an education in the fundamentals of boxing and an extremely challenging workout.
Boxing classes in Los Angeles right now seem to be a dime a dozen. Group classes of 30 or 40 that place an emphasis on total calories burned and instant gratification where students are throwing punches on heavy bags with little to no guidance.
This is not The Stables.
Cary takes great care to slowly and methodically teach her students/gym members the proper stance, technique and fundamentals of boxing that result in proper form, a complete body workout and most importantly, avoidance of injury.
The by-product of her methodology is not only a growing foundation of boxing fundamentals, but a workout that proves to be extremely challenging, rewarding and geared for lean gains.
Prior to The Stables, I would have assumed that 5 minutes of shadow boxing was child's play, especially for a big guy. Ten seconds into my first shadow boxing drill with Cary, I thought about sitting down and taking a time out!
Simply put: Great gym to truly learn boxing technique and develop superb conditioning. Just leave your ego at the door and be willing to learn.response / report this review -

I am so happy I found the Stables and Cary! I have been training for a couple years now and Cary has really saved my life! This is the first time I have ever been excited to work out. I am always so motivated at the Stables and I have become stronger, more confident, and more fit. Sometimes I get so into the class that I don’t even realize how tough it was until it’s over and I’m sore the next day. This is real deal boxing, and Cary makes sure that we learn everything the proper way. She is professional and tough but patient and she cares about her clients and makes it fun to learn. Client is not the right word because we really are a family. Cary is not only great with us, but she does so much for the community and she is an inspiration to so many. Thank you Cary and The Stables!

The Stables is the best boxing gym I've found in Santa Monica/the westside. Cary makes you work hard and kicks your butt in the best way possible. The classes are small, which means plenty of one-on-one time and help with technique. She really takes the time to ensure that your technique is right. Everyone who goes is extremely supportive and kind - it's a great community to be a part of. Guaranteed to leave any class dripping sweat and much stronger! I'll be a client for a long time.
