I love this gym. I joined with zero boxing experience and have always found the coaches to be encouraging, enthusiastic, and very knowledgable about the sport. The classes are tough workouts, but Im definitely in better shape now than I was when I started. The coaches do a great job getting around to everyone to offer more personalized instruction and pay a lot of attention to technique.As a woman, its a bit nerve-racking to jump into a male-dominated sport, but Ive always felt super comfortable and uplifted by coaches, staff, and other students at Urban Boxing. The classes are a good mix of genders, too. If its your first time taking a boxing class, make sure you sign up for one of the introductory levels. Its a fun, supportive gym and a great workout! Definitely recommend.

In D.C. on business for a business and needed something other than the hotel gym. This place was just what I wanted and needed. Friendly staff and fellow members. Great Instructors. If I lived in the areas I’d definitely continue working out there. Great neighborhood intimate workout vibe and can still get your killer workouts in.

Best boxing gym in DC! Not only is it the hardest workout, but its in a fun, welcoming, and supportive environment. I felt so welcomed by Crane, Arturo & the entire rest of the team when I first joined in January. They have such variety in their classes/class times that its easily accessible for everyone. Crane is the BEST and is so accommodating to everyone at the gym!! thank you Urban Boxing!

I have only been at urban boxing gym for a month, but during the time that I’ve been here I’ve been thoroughly impressed. The instructors clearly know their craft, are knowledgeable about health and strength conditioning and meet you where your at while simultaneously pushing you to meet your physical potential. Ariel workouts are especially tough, but her encouragement, good choice of music and good nature gets you through them. If you want to improve your endurance and learn boxing techniques I would recommend urban boxing.

Ive been training at Urban Boxing for the last three months. I can confidently say that the facility and staff are outstanding. Each trainer will push you in very positive ways, helping you find and surpass your limits. Im extremely thankful for Urban and enthusiastically recommend it to anyone looking to get in shape or learn boxing/martial arts.

Would definitely recommend this place! I joined Urban Boxing DC a few months ago to tone up, get in shape, and learn the skills necessary to defend myself. It has been an amazing experience! All the staff are super friendly and professional and the overall environment is clean and welcoming. Big Thanks to Crane at the front desk for always making it a point to ask me how my day is going and my favorite coach Ariel for always pushing me to be my best!!!!

Cant recommend Urban Boxing enough!--- Fun and intense workouts -- good for boxers of all skill levels--- Engaging and friendly instructors with unique coaching styles--- Respectful management that puts members firstI joined Urban Boxing a year ago just before the pandemic hit. I only made it to a handful of classes before everything locked down, but in that time I was impressed by the variety of classes offered (experience levels and styles), as well as the diversity of its clientele.The gym has done a fantastic job at adapting to the challenges brought on by COVID, all while keeping member experience a top priority. When in-person classes were suspended, virtual classes were introduced (and continue to be offered for members who do not feel comfortable attending in-person classes yet). Since reopening for in-person classes, safety protocols have been clearly communicated and are actually enforced (increased cleaning, taking temperatures, requiring masks at all times, reducing class sizes, etc). When I had concerns about class capacity and the online booking process, the staff was receptive to my feedback and took steps to make improvements. Ive personally witnessed how the gym is committed to member safety and satisfaction.100% recommend Urban Boxing to anyone looking for a high-quality boxing gym!

Urban boxing DC fosters a very welcoming environment with killer workouts to match. All of the trainers and admin staff are very passionate, patient, respectful, attentive, and none intimidating. I personally enjoy the flexible sat/Sunday morning workouts.Covid distancing/masks rules are strictly enforced so I always feel safe with every work out. It doesnt matter if youre a beginners or an advanced boxing/kickboxing enthusiast. All are welcome and I just couldnt say enough on how awesome this gym is. Come for the workouts and leave with new found confidence, friends, and a hunger for more. Cheers and see you at the next class.-Sam

I have been a member of urban boxing for 3 months now. My experience has exceeded all expectations I had when I first joined. I was a bit nervous to start boxing as I am a beginner and female, so was a bit unsure of what kind of environment Id be walking into. The staff welcomed me with open arms. The trainers were not intimidating and worked with me at my own pace. I can tell the staff genuinely cares about me as a person not just my workout experience. I never thought I would be this comfortable in a public gym workout environment as I have always been a bit shy. My boxing skills get better every class and Ive been able to make friends easily. 10/10 experience. The gym is also extremely clean especially for covid times.Sincerely, Whitney

Come here if you want to get a great workout in or if you want to continue to work on your technique as a fighter. They have everything you need for all skill levels and the instructors are great. I highly recommend coming here if you are looking for a way to get in shape or if you want to improve as a martial artist.

AMAZING. Stellar studio, equipment, atmosphere, and most of all instructors and trainers.This studio is truly like a second home to me. Perfect for anyone from beginners, to those trying to rekindle their past martial arts passion/training, and those looking to step up their current skill level and training with the perspectives of a huge set of trainers highly skilled in a diverse set of forms.I can not recommend this place more highly than I already have and you are truly joining a family..that is if you want to make a difference in your life and step it up to the next level.

Urban Boxing DC - Has the best team of trainers and staff in the game!Ariels kickboxing classes are skillfully managed with intensity and technique focus. Also, a great personal trainer to work with one on one to build up skills and overall strength. Its a chance to train with a fighter while theyre on the way to compete for the next championship!Crane the manager always greets us at the door with a tempature check and even has extra masks behind the counter. Its greatly appreciated the effort he puts in to making sure the gym is clean and keeping us safe during our workouts.Its only a few more months until summer so Ill be turning it up to get this six pack ready. The new app makes it easy to book classes and stay connected. The new changes to the gym are amazing! The new innovations make our community of warriors a special place to be.

I joined Urban Boxing DC nearly two years ago and it’s been an amazing experience. The staff is friendly and professional and the overall environment is welcoming. The coaches are also knowledgeable and excellent teachers, especially Andrija.I’ve been doing personal training with Andrija since I joined and he’s been phenomenal to work with. He’s tough and will push you to your limits, but that’s what makes a great trainer. Andrija is truly invested in your personal development and dedicated to helping you achieve your fitness goals. Simply put, he’s the best at what he does.

Whether youre looking to develop/improve your boxing skills, or just get an intense self-paced workout within a fun environment, Urban boxing is the place. Ive been attending classes regularly since November 2020, and after my first month begin to notice improvements in my boxing techniques and physical appearance.

After going to Urban Boxing 4 times a week for a whole year, I can confidently say that I made the most of the membership. Having the ability to make friends of all kinds while boxing was an unexpected benefit and made going to the gym an overall better experience. Both Arturo and Jeremy (two of the boxing instructors) were incredible; not only did they teach me boxing, they personalized certain techniques and drills to make my fighting style personal to me. By the end of year, I viewed them more as friends than coaches.Not only do I feel better and overall happier but now I have a new found appreciation and interest for fighting sports. Sadly, I have moved for university but hopefully during the Winter and Summer breaks I will try to renew my membership.

I have boxed in plenty of gyms in Europe and the US, and no one gets close to this one.The coaches are professional fighters that do not only excel in the ring, they also know how to teach what they know to their students.I have been enrolled a little over 3 months, and one of the reasons I decided to enroll here was how safe they make me feel with their covid measures. The process starts by booking the class online prior to showing up, which tells you the attendance for the day. Once you are in the facility, you see management, coaches and clients doing their duties by desinfecting the equipment they just used.If you are in the DC area, this is your best optiom without a doubt!

I have been an Urban member for over 2 years and this has been hands-down the best gym in the DMV area. The repertoire of classes offered by the gym has been amazing -Boxing Level 1 and higher, Kickboxing Level 1 and higher, BJJ, strength and conditioning, yoga, and many more. The best part of an urban experience has been the world-class trainers and the pride they take in their craft. I highly recommend this gym if youre in the DMV area. During Covid, the gym has gone above and beyond to keep its members safe and provide the best experience. This is a gym that cares about its members and employees. Come get into fight-shape at Urban!! Shoutout to the best trainers @Sula @Arturo @Ariel and others

Visited D.C for a few days from Winnipeg, Manitoba. I like to get a few quality workouts in even on vacation so I contacted Urban Boxing D.C. to see if I could come by for a session. I was welcomed by the friendliest staff and had a fun, intense and challenging workout. Definitely will be back if I’m ever in D.C. again! I highly recommend Urban Boxing. Thank you for adding to my wonderful time here in D.C. :)

I cannot say enough awesome things about Urban Boxing DC, this place is definitely among the best gyms in the city. The workouts are fun, intense, and rewarding. All of the instructors are amazing and extremely professional, and ensure that youre not just breaking a killer sweat, but that youre having fun while doing it and learning skills along the way. I have to shout out especially to Coach Nathan, who invests so much in all his students and really values every UB members experience and improvement. He also trains some of the best amateur fighters in all of DC. I absolutely recommend Urban Boxing to everyone, its a place that will change your life for the better.

I cant say enough good things about this gym! Classes here are different from most other gyms because the instructors not only lead awesomely intensive classes but also teach proper fight form. Therefore, it;s a suitable place for both those just looking for excellent high intensity workouts and aspiring fighters. I really enjoy pushing myself physically while also learning how to perfect my punches. Urban boxing gets two thumbs up from me!

I honestly dont know how they have so many positive reviews. I came in because I was focused on losing weight and after running a few laps I was winded and laughed at by one of the coaches. I also couldnt get the material as fast as everyone else and was chastised and embarrassed in front of the class for it. Fortunately I found another gym and am much happier. Thankfully I didnt let Urban Boxing ruin boxing for me. PLEASE save your money.

Review №32

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. I have attended many fitness classes throughout DC and this was my least favorite by far. I dont know about the company culture, but my specific instructor was extremely sexist.The first portion of the class doing partner training on the floor was fine, although he was spending significantly more time assessing the mens form. The second portion of the class was horrific. All of the men were ushered over to the boxing ring where the instructor had them practicing skills and techniques, while every single woman was left on the floor and told to do 200 squats in a group. So while all of us females are off to the side with our arms one another (yeah - Im serious) doing synchronized squats, the men have the instructors undivided attention and actually get to learn to box.At the end of class, the instructor pulled me aside and told me I should attend a beginner class first. I was mortified. First off, the class I had signed up for was advertised as all levels which seemed to come as a shock to him (instructors should know the class theyre teaching). Also, to single me out was appalling in my opinion. I am a former two sport collegiate athlete and am well-equipped to handle most classes.I truly found the entire experience unpleasant and abysmal. I would not recommend this sexist dump to anyone unless you are an egotistical, chauvinistic halfwit.

The atmosphere inside the gym is amazing. The workouts are great! It is a great place for those who want to combine physical fitness training with boxing and other martial arts.

I’ve been a member of Urban Boxing (UB) for about two years now, and I can say I’ve never been disappointed in a single class I attended. Always left each one a better fighter and in better shape than when I entered. Every coach is awesome in their own special way and have their own unique teaching style.Just took Ariel’s kickboxing class, and I can assure you I will be signing up for more. I had only ever taken the boxing classes at UB and never kickboxed before, but with a little personalized instruction Ariel had me throwing powerful right and left (switch) kicks with proper form in the first few minutes of class. Felt great and I even surprised myself!Ariel’s class was the perfect mix of technical instruction, punch/kick combinations, and high intensity cardio. I also loved the warmup ladder work in the beginning for ankle strengthening and agility training.

Hey folksThis review is intended to highlight the great job that everyone at Urban Boxing Bethesda do. I very proud member of this club.After 2 years of being a member of Urban Boxing, Bethesda, I can share with all of you (in the most honest way) that this is by far the best Boxing Club I have belong to ( before Urban Boxing, I tried 3 clubs more; 2 in Washington and 1 in the middle east)Big shout-out to all the staff (specially Gabi, Randolph, Loic, Zula, Joel, Jordan, Arturo, Ricky) Not only are the instructors extremely inviting and friendly, they are all from different backgrounds and highly knowledgeable.Urban Boxing have perfected the feeling of an amazing boxing community, where Literally EVERYONE I’ve seen that puts on a pair of gloves for the first time has fun. Also they keep me updated in all the boxing fights around the Metropolitan Area.Only in Urban Boxing, I have enjoyed to learn the challenges that Boxing, as sport, present. The coaches have thought me that my training is not only physically but also mentally. Boxing requires, strength, power, speed, endurance, reflexes, intelligence, and heart.I would like to mention that their facilities are well laid out and very clean. I would like to recommend to management fixing the Treadmill; Its been broken for a while ;)In general I think that this Boxing Club is for everyone that enjoys the sport and working-out! You can get a perfect fitness in Urban Boxing while learning about this ancient sport.Cheers!

Joining Urban Boxing is probably the easiest decision Ive ever made. The gym offers all kinds of combat classes for various levels, working on strength, endurance, agility all at the same time. Each instructor has a different style of teaching, but they all are extremely professional and experienced, which, I have to point out, is not intimidating or emasculating at all because the instructors and the participants are a bunch of friendly, encouraging people. My experience here is truly rewarding. Im challenged both physically and mentally each class while having a blast and feeling energized, motivated, and alive. More importantly, the gym provides a welcoming community that makes DC like home. And the bonus of being a member is that the gym improves ones confidence and social status. I, for one, somehow takes on the bodyguard position for my friends because they feel safe to walk with me at night.

My wife and I recently spent a month in DC. We were in need of a place to train. We contacted a few gyms in downtown DC. We settled on Urban Boxing DC. The staff was friendly and welcoming. They treated us like we long time members. The BJJ training was first rate. Isaac July is a strong competitor in the IBJJF and F2W. His technical ability is excellent. His students are well trained, friendly and upbeat. In addition, I would like to give a shout-out to the general manager. His attitude and professionalism is first rate. If you find yourself in the Foggy Bottom/GW University area, give this gym a chance to earn your business.

The best boxing gym in DC! I’m so loyal that even though I moved across town I still go to this place, even though there are boxing gyms closer to me. I love that while yes, Urban Boxing gives me a KILLER workout thats a mixture of cardio and strength, I’m learning actual technique from real professionals. I’ve dabbled with other boxing gyms in New York and DC and was disappointed with the fact that most of them either had inadequate instructors who were aerobics instructors in disguise or the gyms themselves focused too much on aesthetic (sparkly bags or pretty lights) - Urban Boxing has none of that and I couldn’t love them more for it. This place doesn’t have frills, but they don’t mess around. They’ll work you into the ground and that’s why we keep coming back!

Review №58

Ive been a member of LA Boxing/UFC Gym for five years now - and its still the best workout Ive ever had. I originally joined to lose my too-much-booze and pizza pudginess post college/grad school...and I lost 30 pounds in just a few months! I still regularly attend classes, and Im still pushed to my physical limits each time. Its all about how much effort you put into the bag work and conditioning. I couldnt do 10 push ups when I started, now I push myself to do four times that. Some teacher are definitely better than others - go to several different classes and figure out what you like. I think the pricing is extremely competitive compared to other gyms in the area, especially considering the level of workout. I only wish the gym would expand - and/or open a new location downtown! - as its clearly gained popularity over the years, and classes can be overfilled. Join! You wont regret it!

Its ok. Its pretty crowded after work. The classes are a great workout. The teachers are hit-or-miss; Nathan is great and if I had decided to continue classes it would have exclusively been to take his. Hes young but has a lot of experience and gives good feedback. If you want to improve your technique take his classes. But overall the class sizes were too big for me and the space was too crowded to enjoy myself.

Review №68

Was a member back when it was UFC Gym (for boxing mostly), signed up again because I had a great experience then and the trainers are largely the same. Great for beginners that want to get to know the basics or get a pretty intense workout, and also for intermediates and above that want to keep improving and learn/practice more advanced techniques. Also, clean and well maintained facilities. A lot of boxing gyms can get pretty rank, but I guess they have good ventilation or something.Whether you want to get a fairly intense workout or learn self-defense, highly recommended.

Review №69

Im a relative new-comer to LA Boxing Foggy Bottom, but I cant say enough good things about it. Ive had a couple different teachers and they inspire me to work harder, dig deeper, and push myself further every time. Every class Ive taken feels like the most difficult, impossible thing Ive ever done physically, but every time I finish and I feel so, so much better for it. LA Boxing has been a great way to help manage some of the stress in my life, build strength and self confidence, and get a great workout all at the same time. Am I ever going to get able to get in a ring and prize fight? Probably not. Do I feel better, stronger, and more sure of myself because I know I can do so much more physically than I ever knew I could? Definitely.Get ready to work hard and feel great once youre done.

The trainers are fantastic, the workouts are killer, and the club is very welcoming! My husband and I were visiting DC for a week, and the owner Lui was very kind to give us a week long pass. We took three of Arturos classes (boxing conditioning and boxing level 1) and they were challenging but so much fun! I like that the conditioning class included some boxing and wasnt just crunches and push-ups. I also liked the partner work during the boxing class. I learned a lot more about how to move when facing an opponent than I would when just hitting the heavy bag. Arturo is also so interactive and fun that it makes the class go by fast. Ive seen him do the salsa and break dance in the middle of a set of burpees. I just had to laugh! After each class, I was so pumped and ready to face the day. Im bummed that I didnt get to try other classes. I heard Nathan teaches a great boxing 2 class with lots of partner work. If youre looking for a fun but challenging workout, I highly recommend checking out Urban Boxing DC! If we lived in DC, we would definitely belong to this boxing club.

Ive been wanting about write a review for a while but I am a firm believer in trying something for a few weeks/months first before you endorse or reject it. My initial feeling still remains and I have continued to thoroughly enjoy my decision to join here.Environment:First off, as a former division 1 collegiate athlete, it has been awesome to get back into an environment that is competitive, collaborative, and makes you feel like youre an athlete training, not just working out. Its easy to assume that once your athletic career is done, you dont need to train hard or even have the opportunity to do so. Getting in this environment keeps you sharp, especially on days that you might give a half-effort in the gym on your own. You also tend grow with the class and it will challenge you on different levels each time you get in.If youre like me it is easy to do get through a regular weight or cardio workout without being mentally invested. These hour-long classes require your full focus, mentally and physically, which really puts you in the zone and makes the workout much more enjoyable and fulfilling.Staff & Facility:The staff is awesome. While they are all very knowledgable and very helpful instructors who all clearly practice what they preach, each brings their own unique flavor and perspective. Ive intentionally attended classes with 5 different instructors, and theyve all provided me with a class that was hard but one that I also learned a lot in. The facility is also very well taken care of and kept clean, which is really important anytime youre getting on mats.Value:Lastly, and most importantly, I feel like I am getting what I paid for and have kick-ass workouts every time. Its not cheap, but if youre looking for cheap then you should reconsider what kind of training you are looking for and where you are looking. I had always stuck to the standard low-cost Golds Gym option, but feel that it is totally worth it and something I look forward to every day that I go. That service is how you win customers!! Great job guys.

Urban boxing is my home away from home. Equipped with new management and the best trainers in DC its a great place to get in shape and stay in shape. It used to be UFC but the new management have included a new selection of classes that are just awesome! Jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, more boxing classes at every level!

Review №81

I signed up for 2 months of boxing and the manager said that after that I could decide if I wanted to take more classes. As it turns out, he had signed me up for a year of boxing, and I am being charged every month unless I requested a cancellation, and even then, I will be charged for a month after the cancellation. THIS IS EXTREMELY DISHONEST MARKETING. When I called to question the manager about what he had sold me, he told me I was STUPID called me a CHILD and said that I HAD NO BRAIN CELLS. Needles to say, I am an adult, and I dont believe this is the way you treat people.
