Battle Republic

Battle Republic is a boxing and strength fitness studio that runs 45-minute, fully coached classes. Each session opens with a warm-up and moves through 10 structured rounds split between bag boxing, kettlebell work and floor-based strength, so members get a full-body workout with a strong cardio component. Founded in 2019 by Leah Drury and Lindsey Miller Neal, the studio is built around coached training rather than open gym time.

Classes are booked in advance through the studio's online account or app, and a full week of classes opens for booking each Monday at 7 AM. Waitlists move first come, first served, and cancellations must be made at least two hours before class to keep your credit. Gloves are provided, showers are only at the Homewood location, and newcomers are encouraged to arrive about 20 minutes early. The Tuscaloosa studio is on Queen City Ave, and there are also studios in Homewood and Hoover.
