the haven approach
We believe that our strongest connections to our bodies come not from feeling punished, but from feeling empowered. That’s something we’ve only found in little pieces everywhere we’ve trained and taught, so it’s what all of HAVEN is built for.
In boxing, we don’t rely on brute force — we develop power through technique, speed, and endurance. In strength training, we don’t push through pain or injury just to max out on weight or repetitions; instead, we practice functional, connected movement to build long-lasting skills. And in building this space together, we don’t unfairly compare ourselves — we train with a foundation of mutual respect.
We are a different kind of gym: One we wanted, one we needed, and one we can't wait to share with you.
Haven retirement Fund!!
YOU CAN STILL DONATE!
HELLO FRIENDS!!! For the past three years Gaby and Andrea have have poured their hearts and souls into Haven to try to create a space full of radical ideas, radical love and radical community. We have all learned about SO much more than just boxing at Haven. We learned how to be vibrant and strong during a dark time in our history and most importantly, how to fight for ourselves and our community.
Since Haven opened, we've gotten to meet so many incredible new clients and new friends, this place has been home to many. We’ve hosted free community events, block parties, drag shows, celebrated birthdays, and held insane fundraisers when no one else would. We welcomed first dates, celebrated weddings, we have given out over 40 scholarships, hosted over 100 free classes for our community, all while being the cheapest gym in the city. And while we have had so many great memories, we have been through many rough ones too, ones that put us in danger. We’ve been met with too many excuses on why it’s okay to take rather than give.
After a long battle, it's time for Gaby and Andrea to rest. Any and all help is welcomed!! We are asking for 15k to support the final operating costs of closing the space and a small cushion for our beloved coaches to reset and bounce back into their next adventure. So feel free to donate anything you can and help your favorite coaches retire!!!! <3
