This gym and its ownership should be the gold standard for gyms. I enjoyed my months of membership here. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. I felt welcomed every time I stepped through the door. The workouts were fun and the right amount of challenging. The facilities are so nice as well. I especially loved that there was no confining contract. When I needed to stop my membership, I was immediately helped and the process was amazingly simple. I plan on joining again in the future.

Took a class last night, half because the Managers running the place were so inviting and accommodating, half because the gym looked legit. Got in, they wrapped my hands up and sent me to the class. Antoine was good at keeping class high pace for a workout but taught how to improve technique in the meanwhile. Their schedule is pretty good too, bunch of classes after work every day. Boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, they offer them all so you can choose your focus.

First things first, if "boxing" scares you, then take the name out of this fantastic workout and ecosystem of great people. I was at first a little scared to walk into a boxing gym, I had never boxed and was very much out of shape. I can convincingly say that URBAN boxing is absolutely the best way to get in shape, get stronger, make friends and more importantly be surrounded by GREAT staff and coaches. Every single time I walk in the staff is welcoming and there is no pressure to workout as hard as others. You can workout at your own pace. I cannot stress enough the importance of the staff and the coaches. From the from the front desk staff Jordan and Louie to the coaches Antoine and Lois, from top to bottom URBAN boxing is above and beyond other "basic" gyms or workouts. Antoine brings a professional mindset with a calm demeanor to teach you as basic or as advanced as you want to go during the class. He manages the class so well for experienced or beginners. The classes are a full body workout with a cardiovascular exercise that builds you stronger. Jordan and Louis (at the front desk) make you feel like home. They are personable, friendly, nice and just go above and beyond. For example, during a usual workout, I had forgotten my towel to wipe the excess sweat off my face, without fail, here was Louis walking around ensuring that we had towels. Jordan has all of the qualities that makes you want to come back to the gym. Not only is he pleasant, friendly and approachable he is also one heck of a boxer. He is attentive to your needs and even after 5 months of boxing he helped me wrap my hands a different way last week after I asked him if his wrists were ever sore. He has since wrapped my hands multiple times and taught me his special way...since then no more soreness. Thank you Jordan!!! All that to say thank you to URBAN boxing. In five months I have dropped weight, gotten much stronger, made new friends and become more confident.

Nothing but good things to say! And I love that they have yoga classes to destress the body from all the boxing!

Came in for the “try a free class” class. I can’t recommend them more! I was super anxious about looking like an idiot when I came in as I have never boxed before and my upper body strength is lacking. Sima at the front desk was super welcoming and generous about not feeling like I need to dive in head first. Crane helped me learn how to use the hand wraps and eased some of my anxiety about looking like an idiot (I still looked silly but I felt okay about it!) Antoine the trainer is *amazing*. Exactly the right kind of encouraging without being “jazzercise cheerleader” (hoping you know what I mean by that).

My wife goes here and has been ecstatic with the experience. First rate facility, and the trainers really push her to the limit. If I could give 6 stars I would.

Urban Boxing: What a great place to learn Boxing! All skill levels & ages are welcome and it is quite a workout. I've been going for 2 months now starting with no experience and I can already see some significant results! The staff and coaches training you are super friendly and passionate about the sport. There are classes daily before AND after work, so you get out what you put in and there are enough bags for everyone so far in my experience. In addition to Boxing, they have classes in Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and even Yoga (on the weekend) among others. They have gloves and hand-wraps available for purchase if you take a liking to the workout, or you can buy them yourself from Amazon. Up to you! Small Disclaimer: there is no boxing ring at this location, but there is one at the DC location. It doesn't subtract from the workout experience at all though! 10/10, would recommend to a friend

Antoine, Nathan, and Jeff are the best boxing coaches ever! I've only been coming for 2 weeks and my boxing technique, foot work, and overall strength and stamina has increased so much! Thanks guys!

Arlington, which opened in Jan 2018, is the third Urban Boxing location. it offers a variety of classes - boxing, of course, but also MuayThai, kick boxing, and jiu jitsu. Also, Jeff Ruth has great kids classes and Sima has yoga on weekends. Personally, I take the boxing classes and the coaches that I have taken, Antoine, Loic and Nathan are great. Where else can you learn to box in a fun and challenging environment with expert and professional boxers? In their own way, each of these coaches are creating a community with their boxing classes. If you are looking to get fit, learn to box (or one of the other things like jiu jitsu, kickboxing or muay thai), want to sharpen your skills and technique as well as improve your footwork, this is the place. Don't worry, though, you won't get hit if you don't want to. The staff is friendly and professional and the facilities are clean and well maintained.

Very high standards at this boxing gym. Top drawer instructors, challenging sessions at all ability levels, and high quality, consistently clean facilities. I’m currently taking private lessons with Coach Antoine Douglas: he’s a fantastic instructor, able to impart knowledge and encouragement in equal measure. I strongly recommend.

My son was interested in learning how to box, so we gave Urban boxing a try. A friend of mine goes to their gym in Dc and told us that they opened one in Arlington. We had to give it a try now since it's so close to us now. I've heard a lot of good things about the gym so we gave it a shot. What a great experience! They were very professional, experienced, entertaining and really made us feel like part of a family. Now members, we're ready learn as much as we can from this awesome gym!

I started here as a newcomer to boxing about 2 months ago and I've had an amazing experience. Since I started I've noticed a significant improvement in both my boxing skills and overall fitness. I've been very impressed by the quality of the coaches, many of whom have professional fighting experience. I've also had a great experience with the staff, who know my name when I come in and keep the gym clean between classes. The gym offers Boxing 1 classes for beginners and Boxing 2 classes and sparring (at the DC location) for those with more experience as well as kick boxing, muay thai, yoga and more every day of the week. There are also weights and cardio equipment that you can take advantage of. I would recommend this gym to anyone at any level of boxing proficiency or fitness level.

This is a fantastic fitness boxing gym. Perfect for those training at all levels because the instructors will push you to test your own personal limits. I personally have nearly a decade of boxing experience and have trained in boxing studios all over the world. I was happy to find the instructors to be very knowledgeable (this isn't always the case at fitness boxing studios). For those looking to get into better shape, learn self defense, or simply become better practitioner of the science, do yourself a favor and check these folks out. 5 stars.

This place is amazing. Friendly staff and attentive coaches make the experience incredible. I am a really big guy and they have never made me feel unwelcome or unable to participate. This place is quickly becoming my second home! Can not say enough good things about this place! They are changing my life!!!

Michelle Webster

If you miss being on a team and actually being coached at a sport this is the perfect gym for that. Also, its impossible to be anonymous at this gym if you go on a regular basis :) very friendly staff who make an effort to talk to people in their classes.

Great boxing coaches, brand new location. This is my second week and I am loving it. 1 hour class is worth 3 hours you spend at the gym. I highly recommend for those who are looking to get in shape.

Incredible workout, great group of people, techniques are on point. Definitely helping me step up my game.

Dan Kim

I joined the day this gym opened, and in the past 7 months, urban boxing has been a game changer for my physical health. Worth the price of membership. Great work out every time. Excellent place to learn the correct techniques of boxing and kickboxing, as well as physical conditioning from actual professionals and fighters. I’d recommend for beginners and experienced fighters. Not at all an intimidating atmosphere with friendly staff and clean facilities.

Simply the best workout you can get. The coaches and just the people in general are awesome here. I've been going for months and it's really a transforming experience both mentally and physically. Honestly can't say enough good things about this place.
