This gym is incredible in so many ways. I came in this summer with no experience in martial arts. I'm not only in best shape of my life, but I have developed a solid set of boxing fundamentals in the short time I've been here. The front desk staff Dan, Malcolm, and others are incredibly welcoming. The atmosphere they facilitate makes this place feel like a second home. The instructors are all fantastic at both pushing you to work hard and teaching you correct technique. I spent a good deal of time with Antoine, Jeff, and Malcolm and would highly recommend all 3. If you want a change of pace from the heavy bag I would highly recommend the morning classes with Jeff and Malcolm. They have an extremely welcoming community that made room for a beginner like me. I was so grateful for their consistent effort to give me little pointers and suggestions. So grateful I got to spend a large part of my summer here in this gym. Definitely recommend.
This gym is absolutely unbeatable. They offer unlimited classes for a monthly rate and allow all skill levels from beginners to more advanced boxers a chance to improve. Their staff is extremely knowledgeable about what they do and have the background to prove it. Everyone there is incredibly welcoming including other gym members. They even offer the chance to spar and potentially compete.
I was really, and I mean really tentative to join a boxing gym. I’m pretty shy and not really into fighting or violence but I was convinced to join by a friend and ended up learning so much about myself and feel like I gained some real confidence. I didn’t know I was capable of some of the physical output i demonstrate now on a regular basis. The instructors are also really nice and know how to bring out the best in you. I’d recommend this for anyone who loves boxing, athletics, or is willing to step outside of their comfort zone.
Just finished another week of classes at the gym and I've been really loving the experience. I've been mainly working with Marko, and I've really loved the intentionality and individual coaching focus he brings to each and every class. My wife and friends and I love all his classes, especially the level 2 boxing and kickboxing! He's truly the reason we're loyal to Urban Boxing.
Had my first free trial lesson and you definitely get your monies worth. Joel smashes you to push further and to get it all. Dan the manager is a sound lad who makes sure you are taken care off and wants you to be there to get what you want from boxing. Great place to go for workouts and training
Visiting DC for business. Hands down, one of the best boxing gyms in the city. I'll be coming back soon. Anyone searching for a way to get in great shape and learn how to protect yourself. Urban Boxing Arlington has you covered. Ask for Dan when you call or stop by.
Great Coaches - lots of experience! Kelly McGrath is a former Australian Olympic Boxer. Mike Easton is a former UFC fighter. Marko has over 25 years experience. Trey Harris was a knockout artist. Rico Leon coaches tons of Fighters & focuses on sound Fundamentals! Great Coaches & High Paced Classes too!
What a gem of a place. Professionally run and maintained, excellent coaches and yet they retain a personalized touch and connect with each student. My teenage son is taking boxing lessons and they quickly focused on understanding him and developing trust, then gave him a perfect mixture of training for his physical and mental conditioning. They focus as much on the mind as the body. I’m a supremely picky dad, and I’m sold on these guys. Good people.
Plenty of classes to take part in for a flat fee each month! Everyone is so nice and kind. Very happy with my experience at Urban Boxing Arlington.
A few of our agents are members of this gym and we can't say enough about how great the training and staff is! Truly a great workout for all levels! We love how the trainers push us to be the best and get the most out of our workouts but not overly aggressive! Highly recommend this gym to anyone in the area looking for a great environment to get a workout in
