Love the brand of the place and energy from the coach during class. It's very similar to Rumble but not quite there yet - I felt the class wasn't as challenging and it was a bit hard to follow. They don't have examples of the workout on the screen like Rumble so sometimes I got lost during the workout (even though the coach showed the example in the beginning). I also found it odd that they separate the screen into 3 sections by showing combos. And its the same damn combo for 2 rounds... like pls show something more and let each combo take up the screen so I can see more. Overall, the energy and playlist is bumpin but idk if this is something I'd come back to. Rumble is far better in comparison imo. read more

I haven't been to a boxing class in years and visited BASH for the first time this week. Coach Jonathan did an amazing job showing me how the class would be run beforehand. The class is super high energy and the class members are super welcoming. It felt like a great workout and I used a ton of muscles that haven't gotten their due in a long time. I will definitely be back again! read more

After coming to Bash over the summer and fall seasons, I feel it was only right to update my first review. Much of it still stands (I never got used to the number system). Although I very much enjoy the workouts, I'm still leaving only 3 stars and it's mainly due to client communications. I had to cancel a registered session one day, and even though I had willingly agreed to pay the $15 fee, the lady on the phone was very curt and kept trying to talk me into coming in. The final straw was when I got a text from Kelsey asking me if I had found another gym. It was very odd since 1) I never mentioned anything about looking for a new gym, especially not to anyone at Bash, and 2) I already had a gym membership at OneLife Fitness (unaffiliated with Bash). I didn't understand where the prying question came from until I returned to my original Yelp review, which they had obviously read and wanted to know if I had found my "better option." Instead of referencing my review, they made it sound like I told them directly. No, I didn't find a better option (unless Rumble opens up down the street or a Mayweather Boxing comes along to Ballston), but I haven't returned to Bash since my last package ran out. If I do return, here are the coaches I recommend: Dre, Monica, Jonathan, and Nicky. read more

I visited BASH Boxing for the first time this past Saturday and all I can say is WOW. I had an incredible workout with Coach Jonathan and, most importantly, I had a lot of fun! The class was about 45 minutes long and half of the time was spent on the bags while the other half was spent doing floor exercises. The floor exercises were mostly strength and core based and were more about precision and accuracy over speed. The coach demonstrated everything before we began each set (for both the bags and floor side) and it was also illuminated onto the wall in case you forgot. The class was PACKED and as a first timer I was a little intimidated, but overall I had a great time and was able to pick up on most things pretty quickly. Because it was my first time the coach did take us into the room a few minutes early for a tour and a general description of what to expect which was awesome and did really help! Again the workout was awesome. Both high energy and fun and if you're unsure I definitely recommend giving them a try. Now taking a step back (LOL) - I do also want to acknowledge how welcoming the staff was from the moment I arrived. Kelsey was awesome and made the check-in process smooth while easing some of my concerns. Since I was visiting with a friend who is a member everything was mostly handled before class. I just had to grab wraps and gloves and luckily Kelsey was able to get my friend and I on stations nearby each other. As we headed to the lockers that's when I met Coach Jonathan and he was also very welcoming and kind. As I mentioned earlier he even took all the newbies through the studio before class started and was great about checking in during class and giving shoutouts (by name!). The last thing I wanted to mention was the community! A few minutes before class the lobby was packed but everyone was socializing with one another and there seemed to be some genuine relationships that have been built! That's important to me when considering a gym and I think it's great that BASH has built a strong and inclusive community. Looking forward to coming back again in the future!! The memberships were a little pricey, but they do have some great specials you can purchase after your first class. read more

That's all I need to say. No parking, chaos getting set up. Rude desk people. Just a mess! They need to offer a lot more communication.

Talking about a kick ass workout!? I started bash two months ago and I have grown so much! It's an amazing atmosphere that keeps you pumped and motivated and everyone is willing to help no matter what. I most certainly recommend coming yo BASH! Find your home here!! read more

BASH Boxing - Boxing Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

The workouts is awesome there. Dan is the man. The coach push you and correct you if needed. They will also see you slacking as well. So the workouts and their motivation is great. They are to "pushy" and "solicit" too much on trying to get you to buy packages. They call, and text as well. It's like they nagging for your attention or your "money." It's annoying. I ended up buying their "holiday" package 3 class for 75 but has to be used in 14 days. Well I only used it once, the rest of week work called me, and I'll be on orders the 2nd week. So that was a waste. I perfer going to Rumble. Their 3 class pass is 45 days. Yes Rumble is a little more expensive, but they not constantly on you to buy a package or something. I have yet to hear from rumble or a text message from them. read more

Love attending their boxing classes! Ive been going for over a year and the classes are always a good workout, and they always vary up the exercises to keep it interesting. The people who work there are super nice and engaging and have kept me coming back! read more

Super judgmental front desk staffs, and the workout itself isn't that effective as I didn't even sweat at my normal level. I won't come back at all. Period. read more

Best workout in the DMV!!!! Between the amazing music, fresh workouts, and the awesome coaches, this place is seriously the greatest! Coach Austin always brings the heat with playlists and a great reminder to breathe. Coach Brandi is so motivating and genuine. I could go on about the coaches all day-each one is so professional and personable and an expert at what they do. If you join, you'll not only get results but a community you can count on. Join now, I promise it's worth it. I've never felt more confident working out!! read more

I've been a member at Bash Ballston since June 2020. I cannot speak highly enough of the experience here. The coaches are phenomenal. The workouts are challenging, varied and fun. There's clearly a great deal of thought that goes into the programming and the culture. You'll never feel intimidated or out of place. Quite the opposite. Many other reviews touch on the workout and experience, but perhaps most importantly, I'd like to bring attention to the professionalism Bash has shown in the midst of Covid. Since I joined, the gym hasn't shut down or taken a hiatus, all while adhering to incredibly strict and evolving health protocols. When you walk in you feel as though the team genuinely cares about the health and wellbeing of its members. When VA required a reduction in capacity amid statewide spikes, Bash added classes to accommodate its members, which required more hours from its coaches and staff, the polar opposite of what many establishments have been able to do. Finally, in the spirit of shopping local, Bash is a locally owned, Northern VA based business. I can't recommend Bash enough because I'm physically in the best shape of my life, and because I appreciate their gumption during a very trying time. Sign up. You won't regret it. read more

I love this work out- it's challenging and effective but somehow between the energy of the amazing coaches and the fire playlists I forget I'm even working out (shout out coach c for always bringing the heat with the music selection). If you've been thinking about trying something new in 2021 or bored with your usual work out routine - 100% try bash! Management has done an amazing job prioritizing the health of it's members during this crazy time, I always feel safe going to class knowing every step has been taken to ensure social distancing guidelines. read more

Could not be more impressed with the staff and class at Bash Boxing. Great workouts are the bare minimum you will get with taking a step in the door at Bash. The coaches are tremendous and are willing to go the extra mile to ensure you get every penny's worth of your workout. Will be back again read more

I'm pretty new to boxing and to BASH, but tried a class as a guest and loved it, and signed up for a package. It's a fitness boxing style with a combination of bag work and HIIT/strength training on the floor. I love that the classes make me feel strong and as a woman, love the self defense aspect as well. 6 classes later and I've left each one feeling a little stronger and proud for making the investment in myself! read more

I really love Bash gym. They always have challenging workouts and the instructors push us past our limits. The live DJ was pretty cool and unique as well. We need more of the live DJ. The staff is always helpful and is cool to see many instructors taking classes with us. When I completed my 100th day, I received a great surprise. read more

This place is my favorite. The energy, the coaches, the music, the community, everything about BASH is amazing. I started going over a year ago and it is the only fitness place I have ever enjoyed this much and have stuck with. I haven't brought a single friend who didn't love it and I highly recommend it to anyone with any fitness level. read more

If you are looking for an empowering community and a workout that will push you to your potential then you are in the right place!! You feel the positive energy as soon as you walk through the doors. BASH provides a workout that you will never get tired of. Each day brings new moves, punches, and music! No matter your fitness level, the coaches make adjustments to meet you where you are. The workouts include punching on the aqua bag as well as floor movements that build your power, strength and endurance. I highly recommend coming in trying one of their classes! read more

Great workout and community! Definitely enjoy getting introduced to boxing and pushing myself to new heights every class!

Best 45min!!! Love the studio and all the coaches. 100% recommend it to anyone that wants to sweat and get fit!

Bash - is back! In short, here's what to expect. First things first; be ready to get your temperature checked. Masks are to be on at all times until class starts. Also, the class sizes are smaller for everyone's safety. (Book in advance classes fill up quick, but there's also a waitlist which helps as well) Lastly, the intensity hasn't changed. Be ready for an intense sweat sess. read more

Never in my life have I stuck with a workout as long as I have stuck with Bash. Their motto is "we're in your corner" and boy is that the truth! They are always there to help you out with your punches, work on your moves, put a smile on your face after a bad day, and help you work on your overall health. Working out used to be such a drag for me, I hated it. I now look forward to going to Bash. Yeah, it's an investment of your time and money, but it's all worth it. The trainers are ALL fabulous, but a few of my favorites are Jonathan, Alex, Nick, Brandi, Monica and Dre. This might sound cheesy, but they not only feel like trainers, cause you walk out of class feeling inspired & challenged - so sometimes I feel like I'm getting a two for one. A workout class & therapy! (And a self defense class!) Honestly I don't think you'd have much to lose trying out Bash. I've brought multiple friends with me and most, of not all of them have ended up signing up because they loved it so much. Give it a shot! Another plus is the doctor said I have lost 7 pounds of fat! read more

I've been going to Bash for more than a year and a half, and I can't recommend it more! It's an incredible workout that yields results and the lights, music, everything is just super fun - the 45 minutes always pass by in a blink. Also, the instructors are phenomenal. Check out BASH if you want a fun, challenging workout!! read more

Best boxing gym in the DMV! All the coaches are so welcoming and they truly make you feel part of a community. I went to taking 4 classes a month to taking 5 classes a week and I just can't get enough! 100% worth trying out a class, I promise you won't be disappointed read more

Took my first class there today. The instructor was great and the class was good. I wish there was more cardio (very little) and core work. I love the UFC workout, but am not a fan of the male centric atmosphere (gansta rap playing, etc...). I like that this gym has a great atmosphere, but think the workout isn't as intense as UFC's conditioning class. Since it's a short 45 minute class, maybe the intensity could be higher. Also, there's a lot of down time when switching and wait for instructions (maybe jogging in between sessions would help). Overall, very good studio/class (just wish it was a better workout). read more

Love this place! Richie and Dre are amazing and the staff is super friendly and helpful!! Also - great, dynamic workout, and very motivating!! read more

BASH pushes you to your edge but makes it fun! It's a challenging workout that combines boxing on aqua bags with circuit training on the floor. The classes are efficient and energizing, with awesome music, fun lighting, and talented and motivating coaches. Each day is different so it never gets boring and the program really ensures that you get better and stronger every day. If you're looking for a fun and effective group fitness option in Arlington, try it out! read more

Before Bash, I hadn't found a fitness studio that really pushed me to continue with classes on a regular basis. The moment I attended my first class, I was immediately hooked. The energy and attention that you get from your coaches is top notch. The best part of the class is having the lights down low, music pumping and just having fun for 45 minutes! It's a workout that I highly recommend to newcomers or advanced athletes. read more

Love this gym!!!! Great workout. I am down 25 lbs in 8 months. The coaches and staff are fantastic and the workouts change daily. Highly recommend this spot. read more

The workouts are very challenging and the coaches are super supportive! So glad I found out about Bash!

This place got me back into a regular (and fun) fitness routine! I always used to walk past Bash living in the area, and decided to take the plunge and try it out with Coach Monica in Dec 2020. I've upgraded my membership two times since then! I am constantly impressed with how energetic, friendly, and uplifting the staff here is, from Studio Manager Kelsey, to ALL of the coaches, especially Coach Jonathan, Coach Nicky, and Coach Caroline. The positivity and excitement that this place brings has helped me get through the pandemic and navigate a lot of personal challenges in my life. Don't miss their Festival Fridays! I love it! read more

Love this workout spot!!! Always get such a great workout and am motivated by all the coaches! Can't say enough good things about them!!

I've been a member for a couple of years now and all I can say is that I'm absolutely obsessed with it. I started with a basic membership (4x a month) and have since then went all the way up to the unlimited option. The workouts are as challenging as you want to make them - making it great for beginners and those who are looking for a more intense workout. And who doesn't love working out to playlists full of mashups and throwbacks? Though the workouts are great the thing that truly sets this place apart from other gyms is that the community is one of the best I've seen. The coaches and staff have been nothing but incredible from the positivity they bring to each class to the care they have for each and every member. I have not once walked in for a workout and not come out smiling and feeling great. Highly highly recommend! read more

I started going to bash back in 2020 right before the pandemic, I cannot say how much I missed this place when the shutdown happened. I recently started going again and I was instantly reminded why I loved the workout in the first place. The energy, coaches, cleanliness, and workout is top tier! read more

BASH is an awesome place to get a great workout! In the past I've had trouble consistently staying at a gym/working out, but here at BASH I look forward to going to class. Is it difficult? Yes. Is it rewarding? A resounding YES! The boxing aspect took me a sec to get the hang of it but overall it was pretty smooth. One of the things that I like about BASH are the staff and coaches! The staff is so friendly and welcoming, as for the coaches, they are there to motivate and help you out. As an example, there was one day were I was not properly doing an exercise and the coach went up to me and explained to me step by step until i got it right. Overall, it's really one of the best places that you can ever go to. read more

The best group workout studio ever. Group workouts can be so intimidating and scary but the coaches and members truly make the learning process exciting. They will be right by your side in and out of the studio 100% of the time! The coaches are extremely present, caring, and give their all. As someone who gets bored very quickly, it's safe to say - I never get bored and every class is completely unpredictable. Not to mention, the playlist of every coach is absolutely *chefs kiss*. read more

Bash allows you to be yourself and pushes to get better and stronger each day. The workouts are challenging and the amazing staff has created such an amazing atmosphere. read more

I really cannot recommend BASH enough! I love the workout (and their playlists) - you switch between the bag and the floor. The coaches give you great instruction and if you are struggling or even need a slight improvement, they will come up to you and help you instead of calling you out in front of everyone (which unfortunately some other fitness studios do). The energy in the room is fantastic, not only just from the coaches but from the others taking the class. The coaches and front desk staff make you feel like a part of the community whether it's your first time or you come numerous times a week. They are accessible in person and on social media and are open to answer questions about anything! I enjoy the challenges they do, which great motivation. I like that they offer a free first class so people can try it out to see if they like it before committing to a class package or membership. read more
