From the reviews
I have trained at this gym since 2020! I will never stop recommending it. Boxing classes and the people are awesome. The BJJ team is amazing and my favorite is the new addition of WRESTLING! Gideon is one of the best coaches and he makes sure everyone understands the complex mechanics and rules of wrestling.
Urban Boxing at Foggy Bottom has been awesome to me. The overall vibe is amazing. I felt to be part of a great community. All the trainers are super nice and take an interest in you no matter what fitness level you’re at.
This gym is very welcoming. I took the morning boxing class and it gave me a good sweat. I also purchased a Private Lesson for a more tailored boxing training experience. The equipment is great and they actually maintain/clean their equipment (after class, I saw someone that was designated to clean the mats).
I’ve only taken one class here, the free trial, and I already know I’m going to sign up, great atmosphere, great people, teachers are so amazing and down to help, and you’re not going to get a deal this good anywhere in DC tbh
New to kickboxing? Start at Urban Boxing Foggy Bottom
Urban Boxing Foggy Bottom comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Urban Boxing Foggy Bottom
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
