BASH workouts combine the lights/energy of cycling, the cardio of OTF, and the catharsis of therapy all in one class. So you could say I'm obsessed. For background I have tried: -OTF -Pure Barre -Solid Core -Core Power -Soul Cycle Just to name a few ....and BASH by far is the best and most FUN workout I've had in the area. The environment is also pretty supportive with everyone in different stages of their fitness journey, making the class a lot less intimidating than other classes (Barre cough cough) that I've been to. I am initially attending the classes using class pass, but probably will convert to a membership since I go to many classes! Some things to know before you go: 1. You do need hand wraps, and they sell a set for $15 that are already padded. I personally think they're worth it since you could also use them as lifting gloves and you look kind of bad a** in them. 2. You do need gloves, but you can rent a pair for just $2 a class! 3. Bring water!! You will need it. Looking forward to my next class if I can still move from my most recent one! read more

Incredible first and second classes here. The facility is clean and staff is friendly. Such wonderful music selection and their classes are not too packed, which makes it enjoyable - the structure is also great, which allows for free time at the bag and a hard free weight workout. Their studio also has clean bathrooms and showers! 10/10 will be back! read more

the class itself was fine. the charge for mandatory wraps is INSANE. the price apparently increased from $7 to $28 somehow within the last year or so? I found an article from Rosslyn BD that said wraps would only be $7 and rentals for gloves $10. i couldn't find any info for pricing other than that- they intentionally leave price off the website. $28 is actual insanity - i walked out of there paying $40 for literal gloves. you all should be aware of this before you go here. no class is worth $40 on top of it. read more

I could only attend 6am classes, which were eliminated. Said they would extend my membership to accomodate summer, which never happened. Blamed it on an employee who is no longer with them. Bought 20 classes and only used 6. Avoid this place: rip-off artists. read more

Signed up through ClassPass. I got fatter during Covid, so I figured it was time to go back. This is not the class for you if you hate burpees and mountain climbers, so I was less than thrilled to do those. I really just wanted to take a nap. However, I liked the jumping jacks, punching, and standing core work. Overall, I don't know if I would go back, but the class had good energy. It was pretty packed for an evening weekday class. Probably 86-90% women with a handful of guys. read more

Bash Boxing - Bash hand wraps - required for class - Boxing Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Such a wonderful workout and great community! The music is fun and loud and the room is dark with some colorful lights. There are options for all boxing or all weights or a mix and some other options as well. Great way to get a workout! read more

BASH is the newest boutique fitness studio in NOVA and I hope it's here to stay. It's a 45 minute conditioning boxing class utilizing a water bag along with high intensity floor workouts. Each class flies by since you're always on the move! Plus the first class is *FREE*! Class is split into two groups (bags and floor) and starts off with a warmup which includes a demo of the six core punches. The bags are water filled which are made to be easier on the joints, and more "bouncier" to punch. The floor workouts are always different and can range from plank jacks, dumbbell presses, squats, lunges, etc. Another plus is that the lights are dimmed down during the actual workout (they are turned back on during demos from the coaches) so you're just focusing on yourself! Each coach I've taken has been very encouraging and motivating, and are always nice to show you how to correctly punch and/or move. The music is also hype and LOUD! The front desk staff is always friendly and accommodating! You have to purchase wraps (they're reusable) and gloves are always available for rent. There are also plenty of lockers (with their own locks so you don't have to bring your own) and well stocked bathrooms and showers in the studio. There is plentiful street parking and garage parking throughout the area. I've added BASH to my fitness routine and look forward to my next class! Their class packages and memberships are reasonably priced for this area. read more

READ THE FINE PRINT - Contract fees are prioritized Went to Bash for several months and did enjoy the classes. It's easy to schedule classes in thier application, but if you want to change your membership that option isn't available in the app. After some time I decided to cancel membership by email but was persuaded by their sales team to put my account on hold. They charge $15 a month for that, although you cannot use any classes during that time. Before my contract was ready to re-start, I requested to cancel. They delayed responding until the day my contract was set to renew again and charged my card for a full month of membership. THEN, they responded to me and said a 30 day notice period is required to cancel. Even as my account had already been on hold for 90 days. I requested this be waived and they responded with an upsell attempt. If you think you won't get the corporate Golds Gym contract treatment from Bash because they are a small local business, see the above read more

Pretty fun workout! I am always up for trying new workouts and boxing has been the latest fitness venture! I love the fast paced, high intensity workout that Bash offers. It is almost exactly like Rumble but with way less frills and it is also less expensive. The staff here is super friendly and the workout is killer. Definitely one of my favorite local businesses! read more

Went for a streamlined experience courtesy of Nudge, and it was fantastic. Pushed me way harder than I expected, and as an active duty Marine, means a good bit. The staff was exceptional and incredibly accommodating. Definitely worth the time and money, will be going again. Only negative is the parking situation, get there early and have Parkmobile ready to go to stream line the process. read more

What a fantastic, whole body work out! I always wanted to try out boxing because I heard great things about it. But I hesitated because I thought it might be tough on your joints with all the punching. Well, let me dispel my own myth! The gloves, which Bash rents for $2, are nice and thick to provide plenty of insulation. The punching bags are also filled with water to soften the impact on your joints as well. My first class was free (yay!) but with a $10 charge to buy hand wraps. A $10 charge for a class is still a bargain so I was happy to purchase the wraps. I thought it might be hard to pick up the various boxing techniques, but the instructor walks you through the six forms at the start of the class. There are also helpful guidelines projected on the wall in case you forget. My instructor, Jonathan, was full of energy and had a great pace in walking us through the movements. I was by no means a pro in my first class, but I didn't feel as clueless as I feared I would! My only wish was that the instructors would walk by and correct your form. But it seemed like most of the people were new so maybe that is not feasible. I also liked the floor circuits so that you literally work out every part of your body. The 45 minutes flew by! I am pretty active - long distance running, Barry's and strength training - but I was SORE the next day! It wasn't an everything-hurts-soreness but a Ahhh, what a great workout soreness. I'll be incorporating Bash boxing into my fitness routine! read more

I first visited Bash Boxing (Rosslyn) years ago, through ClassPass and in January 2021 I finally joined as an unlimited member. Prior to Bash, I was more of a helicopter gym goer. I sporadically popped into gyms but there was no consistency because, quite frankly, many of them felt boring. Just knowing myself, I need a gym that feels fun, has up beat music, and has energetic instructors. I was also very much a club goer but lately I've been getting my "club fix" through working out here (dim lights/loud music lol). For me, Bash works. I'm finally someone who works out 4-5 times a week and I'm thankful for both the instructors and the front desk folks at this gym, who truly make the experience enjoyable. Only wishful feedback I have is to offer a "Festival Friday" class in the AM too lol, but it's not a big deal. read more

My first time at BASH was a knockout! They offered a free class on Memorial Day for new members and I really enjoyed it! My boxing experience is minimal, but that's okay! The instructor goes over the 6 core punches at the beginning of class to get everyone up to speed. The class itself is split into punches on the "aqua bags" and weighted workouts on the floor area. It's 45 minutes in total and was a great cardio workout! The instructor also did a great job of keeping everyone moving in between sets (jumping jacks, high knees, etc). Inside the studio there's an underground boxing gym/spinning class vibe. The lights are super low, don't worry you'll adjust, which is nice because it lets you focus on yourself instead of worrying about what you look like in the mirror. My only piece of feedback would be having video demonstrations of the floor exercises because, with so much going on, it was hard to remember what some of the exercises looked like. Overall, I had a great time and PLEASE set up in Seattle so I can go back! read more

Bash Boxing - Boxing Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I finally made it! After all the social media reviews and posts, this is a spot I had to check out for myself. I've taken *almost* every workout class the DMV has to offer, so I had to cross this off my list. The studio itself is beautiful, super super clean, and modern. It's pretty spacious for everyone to get ready for class, besides behind the lockers, like every boutique studio. They have pretty cute merch for sale with the "BASH" logo and sayings. Maybe good for when you become obsessed! Your first class if FREE, which is awesome! Gloves are included, but you have to buy wraps for $7, unless you have your own. They're actually really nice wraps for $7, so I had no issue with that. You can reuse and wash them. I had Coach Brett, who started out hyping everyone up as we stood in a line outside of the door before entering class. Wow is he full of energy!! (Cute too ) You start with a pretty decent warm up at your spot either on the floor or by your bag (which are full of water). You're definitely sweating a little by the time you're done and rotate between bag and floor exercises. I felt well prepared after the warmup with the various punch sequences. The floor work ranges from dumbbell work (snatches, squats, presses, etc.) to body weight work (push ups, side to side jumps, v-ups, etc.). It's great to switch back and forth so you're never bored. Similar to Orange Theory in that way. Before you know it, you're done! Class was 45 minutes - quick and sweaty! Safe to say I fell in love and will be making it my Monday evening routine. Can't wait to continue with the BASH fam! I even found out the Caps frequent this place, which says a lot about the workout you get! read more

I've never tried boxing in my life EVER so I didn't really know what to expect. I signed up for a free class and liked that you were able to choose your spot on the floor. The first class is free but if you don't have your own wraps, you technically pay 7$ for a class to get these wraps, which you can keep forever. Parking garages near by and usually plenty of street parking in the surrounding blocks after work hours. I was really surprised that on the email after signing up, they mentioned new clients only have to be there 5 mins before class. I'm used to having to get to a studio at least 15 mins before and I still recommend doing this. Getting the wraps, putting stuff in locker, and putting on your gear good take easily 5 mins itself. The front desk staff was very warm and helpful. My Friday 5:30 class started about 5 mins late which I'm not used to in the punctual boutique workout world. I really couldn't tell who the instructor was before (i wanted to tell her about an injury) but we filed in and went straight into class. I chose to go to the punching bags first instead of starting on floor. In that sense it's a bit like Orange Theory where you can decide what activity you want to start with. The instructor Devin went over the punching form and the floor workouts, which were projected on the wall as well, and off we went! In this particular class we spent 22 minutes on the bag, 22 minutes doing floor. Honestly, I'm sure my form was awful, but I really love the punching bag part of this. It's water filled and I really liked having time for free style or just letting out some stress. The room is dark and the music is loud and you can just go as hard as you want. A great stress reliever to say the least and I was sweating buckets. The floor work was challenging but all concepts/exercises I've done before. I'd say the bag part was harder so I recommend starting with that and ending on floor for a bit of "relief" if you can even call it that. Generally really liked this class and how hard it was. Definitely considering getting the 4 classes a month! read more

Supporting a friend by joining in on a trial class. Enjoyed the instructors and energy of the classes. The variety of the workout is fun and learning how to hit a bag leaves you feeling confident. Downside to my experience was lack of business management and communication. I purchased what I believed was a one time package and ended up being charged monthly. Called for the refund as I had no intention of taking more than the few classes that were offered in the package and was refused a refund and essentially insinuated to be a liar. Will not be advocating for or supporting Bash in the future. If you want a real workout with real results in and or around the DC area- head to DMV Iron. read more

I took my first BASH class in November of 2019 (shoutout Coach Mon!) when the Ballston studio opened & signed up for the 8 classes/month membership that day. Within a month, I upped to the unlimited package. As someone who had only boxed 1-2 times in her life and never had a consistent workout routine, I wasn't sure how I'd be able to keep up during the classes. I quickly learned that each class includes the coaches reminding you to "find your level of hard" and modify, adjust, and challenge yourself to the extent you can. 300+ classes later, I've never had a workout that I "couldn't do" and have left feeling empowered and stronger each time. BASH is the most fun, encouraging, community-driven fitness environment I've ever experienced. From the coaches and staff to members that become friends, every person cares about you, your well-being, and your successes big and small. You owe it to yourself to give it a try!! read more

This is a great workout with amazing coaches! The vibe is amazing and everyone cheers each other on. Some times I maybe tired but by the time Ieave class I feel better for going & more energized. However, be aware of the lights & music if you have a sensitivity to strobe lights! read more

This is a fantastic gym and we are so grateful to have it in our neighborhood! My husband has benefited greatly from the instruction from all the highly trained staff. He has gained so much confidence in his workouts because of this gym. I highly recommend if you are looking for awesome instructors and fun classes with major results within a week! I cannot recommend this business enough. Highly recommend! read more

Turn your brain off, get in the zone and let it all out. Bash is a perfectly programmed workout and the perfectly curated environment to take your workouts and your health to the next level. Try it! p.s. Do yourself a favor and get there a little early for your first class so that someone can give you the rundown. I was late to my first class and was totally lost (But I still loved it and came back for more!) read more

Joined Bash last year because of a friend and stayed because it's truly a great workout. I'm not a fan of treadmill workouts, nothing against them, but running has never really been my thing. Bash is a great, full body, workout - mashing in boxing an aqua bag and a HIIT workout. Each workout, the trainer reminds / shows you how to throw each punch, which is great for people that are just getting started, and a great reminder if you've been doing this for a lot longer. I appreciate that the names of each of the workouts are on the wall, so just in case you forget (like I do every time), I can just look up and see what we are doing. The trainer also shows you exactly how to do each move and suggests which weights to use. I always leave feeling like I got my butt kicked, which is exactly what I want to feel like after a workout. Highly recommend going for your first class (which is free) and trying it out! read more

I first came to BASH with a free via their free first timer class. I was immediately blown away by the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness of the studio, and how nice the other guests were. The classes are HARD but accessible to a variety of fitness levels, and the coaches are obviously well trained. I work at a fitness studio in DC, and I wasn't intending on buying a membership, but I found myself going weekly. The prices for the memberships are VERY reasonable, and worth the commute across the bridge. read more

The place was pumping and energetic, and I totally enjoyed the music. Alex seemed awesome as well... However, if you have ever taken a class that really focuses on proper technique, this is not the place for it. There was no interaction and very little instruction for people on a first day, and from where I stood, no personal form critique during bag work to improve. The coach has a stage at the front of the class. Fast passed and a solid quick HIIT if that's what you're looking for - emphasis on quick, the class seemed too short to really get me pumping (2 rounds on bags, 2 rounds on floor), and I don't feel exhausted after the class (and not for lack of trying). This may be great for those who class hop, but not for a consistent gym relationship. read more

If you get migraines, have epilepsy, or have a sensitivity to strobe lights, do not go to Bash Boxing. The workout is sensory overload with flashing blue and red strobe lights in a blackout room, extremely loud music, shouting instructors, and heat. There is no warning on the website or the customer intake forms. This is completely irresponsible. Bash must do its part to keep its customer safe. Instead it relies on customers to tell the instructor anything that might come up, even without having taken a class before. Do better, Bash. Prevent the next person from getting a migraine attack from your workout. read more

I've been attending BASH classes for over a year now and it has changed my outlook on fitness and community so much! I love everything about this place from the challenging but effective workouts, the community, and the coaches-it has so much to offer. I joined during the heat of COVID and Bash was and is NON STOP ON TOP OF CLEANLINESS! Probably the cleanest workout space i have ever been to. The coaches are consistently available to chat and coach you through every step of the way. This is the place to go if you want to build confidence, strength and your community. I frequent the Ballston location but Rosslyn is the OG and such a great place also. Highly recommend this awesome studio and the amazing workout. You'll be addicted after your first class. Book with coach Austin!!! read more

I love BASH! I've been a member for 2 years and enjoy the workout and instructors. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a good intense workout. read more

I signed up for the free first class- loved that they had an option to try out their studio and instructors without making a full on commitment! My instructor was Brett; he was high-energy, motivational and gave good instructions for my first time there! I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to use any weights or resistance bands while on the floor side (seems like it's a different type of class we had to sign up for). Also, I thought the class consisted of too many burpees (every round while the on floor side, once on the bag side), that I ended up modifying on my own and repeating some of the other exercises. read more

WOW. Where to begin... I have been literally dying a slow death while waiting for BASH to finally open. I've been searching high and low for a good workout program that will knock me on my ass.. and this did just that. Thank you, Ma'am. May I have another? Every staff member is so friendly and cool as hell. I dropped in a little early for my class to get everything squared away. They do have hand wraps and boxing gloves if you don't have your own, which they clean after each use. Class starts off with a nice warm up prior to beginning the workout.. and then the brutality begins. You will rotate between the bag and the floor. If you are on the bags, there are a series of punch combos you repeat that will leave you praying for the end. Their punching bags are filled with water, so it absorbs the impact and is easy on the joints... SUPER COOL. Just to be clear, your feet are moving pretty much the entire time so don't think that people on the bags are taking a breather! The floor section does HIIT, which can be anything from mountain climbers, jump squats with resistance bands and weights, to jump pushups, and various abs exercises. The exercises are projected on the wall in front of you in case you forget what you're supposed to be doing next. Really. These geniuses thought of everything! What I love is that you show up to class and you have no idea what kind of craziness they're going to make you do. I love the suspense factor! They don't have a designated parking area, but if you park at the Target lot, it's a short walk to BASH. The facility has free lockers and showers, which will make it that much easier for me to get my sweat on before and after work! *hallelujah for 2 a days* The workout was intense and I love that they turn on dim colored lights. It's bright enough to see what you're doing, yet dark enough that you can feel the self-consciousness fade into the background... while you're there, it's just you working your butt off and the bumping music to keep you pumped. The instructor was fabulous about explaining the variations of moves as well as walking around to correct posture and keep people motivated throughout the class. They've only been open a day and I'm already addicted to the pain. I cannot wait to go back! If you want to really push yourself to the next level, you have to give this place a try. I'm coming here 15 times a week, so I'll probably see ya there! read more

Bash is a fantastic gym with a positive atmosphere. Their 45 minute classes provide a full body workout with variations for those at different skill levels. Everyone is super friendly and helpful, encouraging you to meet whatever your personal goals are! The cost is definitely worth it for the quality of work out and team you are joining. read more

BASH is more than just a gym its a community of people encouraging others to be the most badass version of themselves inside and outside of the studio. It offers everything you are looking for in a daily workout from strength training to endurance training. The energy is high and the vibe is welcoming! If you haven't tried a class yet, you should. #JUSTBASH read more

BASH is one of the only group fitness workouts I can get behind. Punching sh*t? Check. Floor exercises? Check. I took my first class with Devon on the Friday before Memorial Day and she was an awesome instructor and Mikaela did an amazing job acclimating me to the studio and helping out with my wraps and gloves. Devon came out to meet me before the class to introduce herself and make sure I would be comfortable in the class and she was so encouraging during the entire class and got me so pumped up to really push myself. There were people of all fitness and cardio levels in the class too, but that didn't matter because I was too focused on going to town on the bag and pushing myself during the floor exercises. Seriously, this is the best, more stress-relieving workouts I've ever been a part of. ALSO, I will say that if you're looking for a "boxing 101" type class, this is not it. I had some experience with the basic moves so I was okay in my first class; HOWEVER, after my amazing experience with Devon, I'm sure if you asked any of the instructors to spend some time helping you with your technique, they'd be more than happy to. I am going to be back for many more classes. And you should too! read more

OMG how have I not written a review for BASH?! Where do I begin?! I found this place soon after it opened in December of 2018 and immediately it felt like home! It was at a time where I really needed a push in my fitness journey (and in my life in general). It helped light a spark that I needed more than I even realized Everyone makes you feel welcome the second you step in the door. The coaches make a point to get to know you and make everyone feel included and important regardless of your experience or skill level. As soon as I tried it I was HOOKED (pun intended). Aside from the amazing atmosphere, the workout is always INSANE. I always start on the floor because I love ending on the bags. Don't be afraid to start in the front, everyone is different levels and you will catch on quick even if you've never boxed before! Every day is a different floor workout which is great. Even though I've been going for months, I don't feel as though I've plateaued because it is constantly being switched up! The aqua bags are the besttttt part of all. It is therapy. Being able to hit something and let all that shit out feels good, especially when there's a killer playlist to get you pumped. You won't even notice your heart rate going up to 180 Ok I'm done. I love BASH! Try it!! 10/10 would recommend read more

Updated Review- Still going (joined before the original Rosslyn location opened) and still loving it! The workouts are always great and the Coaches continuously motivate you through each and every class! The team has done a great job of creating a space where I've felt comfortable going during the pandemic (not an easy feat). I'm closing in on 200 classes and don't plan on stopping anytime soon! read more

Been boxing with BASH for 7 months now. Honestly, the first time I came here I had a really bad week and just wanted to punch something. So I took them up on their "first class free" offer with little to no expectations. I took Brett's Monday night class and I couldn't believe how I much I loved it. These classes are FUN and the staff are SUPER FRIENDLY. I have never, ever considered myself an athletic person, but I've been really surprised with what I've been capable of in these classes. The exercises are easily adjustable for strength and skill level and, I cannot stress this enough, punching on the giant Aquabags is SO FUN. Brett, Jonathan, and Monica are my favorite instructors, but you can't go wrong with any of them. Brett is a motivational speaker by trade, so get ready for some high energy, inspirational mini-speeches before and after his classes. After your first class, every instructor will check in with you. The other staff members are also great. One time I had to duck out of a class right before it started because I was super sick. Someone working the desk followed me outside and asked me if everything was okay. I was surprised that she even noticed, let alone followed me to check up on me. You can tell they work hard on creating a welcoming, inclusive environment where people feel noticed and valued. Some notes on the class atmosphere: the lights are down and the music is LOUD. It totally gets my adrenaline pumping, I'm super into it, but I do know some people who aren't into that sort of environment. Also, if you don't have wraps or gloves, you will need to buy some. You can buy both there and rent/borrow (can't remember which, it's been so long) gloves if you don't feel like committing to buying a pair yet. read more

I pretty much never write reviews but I had to for BASH. I'm almost at the end of my first month and I absolutely love it. It's worth every penny. I've taken classes with 3 or 4 different instructors so far and have loved the energy and music from all of them, even at 6a LoL. They all do a great job of showing you the core punches at the start of the each class. I also love that it switches between the bags and floorwork so you really get a great workout in. Plus everyone is friendly and helpful. I can't say enough good things about this studio and it was absolutely what i was looking for when i relocated here and wanted to get back into boxing for a workout. I knew after my first free class that i wanted to join and I'm Glad I did. I'm looking forward to seeing my progress. read more

Such a fun workout!! The instructors really encourage you whether it's with the bag or to try a heavier set of weights on the floor. Everyone is super nice and there is definitely a community atmosphere in the classes which is awesome and motivating. The only thing that I would note is that they have one of the harshest late cancel policies I have seen...if you end up not being able to make it to your class you lose your credit and get charged 12 dollars for the late cancel. Definitely recommend though, great workout and nice studio!! read more

BASH is amazing! Truly wonderful staff welcome you in. Once you're wrapped and ready to go, the coaches set the scene for that days class. They are experts in getting you hyped for the best 45 minutes of your day! The workouts are challenging but still great for beginners and experienced boxers. The aqua bag side will get your heart rate up and sweat pouring. The floor side will vary on the type of class but is sure to make you super strong. The post class cool down is always filled with a great message from the coaches too! Overall everyone that works here is so nice, friendly, and helpful. They are truly always in your corner and you are sure to felt seen and heard from class! read more

I'm a cardio junkie who spins at least 4 times a week, but lately I've been searching for another group fitness class to change up my routine. I signed up for the free first class. which I loved, because I got to try out something new without a huge commitment. I took Dre's 11:30 class on Saturday and was absolutely blown away. From the woman working the front desk who helped me sign in and get my wraps, who seemed so genuinely excited that I was there and really welcomed me, to the other people in the class (we did partner work) who were fun and welcoming, to Dre who helped correct my form on a floor exercise and ran a very fun class, everything was absolutely amazing. I couldn't believe how fast the 45 minutes went! I loved my experience at Bash so much that I bought a 10 class series as soon as I got home from class! read more

BASH boxing is amazing. I have been coming to BASH since they opened. I love that the class is a mix of punching the bag & doing exercise on the floor. The lights are low, and the music & vibes are high. You do not have to worry about other people looked at you and watching you. As a plus-sized woman, this was something that I liked. BASH has really help me build my confidence and make me feel great in my skin. BASH is more than just a place to work out, it's a community. I love BASH. I would highly recommend them to everyone I know, and I have. read more

Such a fun and challenging workout. The 45 minutes fly by and there is something so stress- relieving about punching a bag in the dark. Every instructor I've taken here has been great, and the front desk staff, especially Kelsey, is so friendly. The environment here is super welcoming - to the point where I felt comfortable taking classes throughout my pregnancy and after having my baby. Instructors did their best to give me modifications as needed - which is a tall order in a dark studio with almost 40 students. read more
