The people in
your corner.

Nathan built Ballard Barbell & Boxing Club on a simple mission: bring real boxing training to Ballard with no gimmicks, just solid coaching. Twenty-five years in the sport, a background that runs through collegiate rugby, high school wrestling, karate, and jiu-jitsu, but boxing is the one that stuck.

He opened BBBC because too many people were getting shortchanged on quality coaching. The gym is built for anyone willing to put in the work, with a tough, welcoming culture and four kids often running around the place. When he's not coaching, he's training, watching fights, talking rugby, or out hunting.

If you train with Nathan, expect to be pushed, challenged, and to leave better than you came.

Megan came up as a Division 1 athlete, so she knows what real training looks like: showing up, pushing limits, competing when it counts. She found boxing while teaching in public schools and got hooked on it as both a challenge and a way to shake off a hard day.

She's trained at BBBC for five years, and now she runs the women's program she wishes she'd had when she started. That means technique taught properly, intensity that meets you where you are, and a coach who's genuinely in your corner.

Her classes are built on real fundamentals and steady progression, with a focus on helping every woman feel like she belongs in the ring, whatever her starting point.
