Gym Battle Republic — Boxing or pilates? We’ve got both here. (The Bama Buzz)

In the past couple of years, a lot of us have adapted our workout routines to include at-home gym setups and online workout videos. If you’re looking to change things up, though, we’ve got you covered.

A new boxing-inspired gym and a pilates studio are coming to Tuscalooosa, and one boxing gym—that celebrities reportedly love—is coming to Auburn. Here’s the scoop.

1. Battle Republic Tuscaloosa

Battle Republic—a Birmingham favorite—is coming to Tuscaloosa this fall. The founders, Leah Drury and Lindsey Miller, have deep roots in the Tuscaloosa area, so it’s only natural that they bring their boxing-inspired fitness concept to T-town.

Combining high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and strength training with boxing inspiration, Battle Republic has created a fun and upbeat way to workout. Plus, they always have a top-notch playlist.
