I'm not really a fan of boxing as my workout of choice, but this place made it a lot easier to enjoy. It's from the same people as Soulcycle (and they seem to even use some of the same instructors) so it's a dark, intimate setting as far as a workout place can go, with blasting music. The 45 minute classes are quick and sweaty. Since it is dark, there maybe an issue with form and getting corrections for the instructor, but if you're newer stand towards the front. read more

I saw an ad on Instagram for first class free. I clicked it and started getting emails. I responded to one of them with the date and time I wanted to go, and they confirmed. When I got there, I was informed that there is no "first class free" despite the Instagram ad saying exactly that. I was met with attitude when I informed staff that I saw the ad. Then they were like okay I guess we'll allow it as if they were doing me some sort of favor for their miscommunication. They then told me I had to pay $15 for the hand wraps. However, reviews on Yelp indicate these are $7-8 so not sure why I was quoted a higher price. I was frustrated by the misleading advertising and chose not to actually take the class. Disappointing. read more

Awesome workout! Instructors are amazing! Other people in the class were nice. Was a really welcoming atmosphere. Loved their bags. A+ experience! read more

All the instructors are great and energetic. The classes go by quick and you get in a decent 45 minute work out for the day. The classes are usually mostly full. The whole team is welcoming and nice. They keep the bathrooms and showers squeaky clean and offer many toiletries to freshen up. read more

I've never boxed before so was a little fearful to try. I'm a Burn 60 gal who didn't think I would get a full body workout while boxing but boy was I wrong. Tried the Box U class and now I'm hooked. Great music, plenty of core and leg work and what a rush to hit the bag. I'm a convert and look forward to going back again and again! read more

This studio has become my second home. The phenomenal coaches and staff really make it what it is -- the most fun you'll ever have doing an intense full body workout. I can't speak highly enough of how great this place is and what they're all about! read more

I absolutely love this studio. I just completed the starter pack & I think it was a great way to test out the studio & see if it was a good fit! The parking is $1.50 for the first 90 minutes. I've taken Maxie for both of my classes & she is amazing. I'll definitely be taking her classes! Great work out, clean facility & warm front desk staff who helps you wrap your hands and teaches you the basic 6 moves! read more

I have to admit, I like to workout. I've done it all and have been trying to find a work out in LA that really covers all of the bases for me, community, empowerment and a good sweat. BoxUnion is all of those things and more! I've never found a more cathartic way to pipe up on my own fitness game and release stress. Every single trainer and employee are bad ass humans and I couldn't be more grateful a place like this exists. I live my life to the beat and at BU I get to box to the beat and the rhythm carries me through. So grateful for it's existence in the world and if you haven't gone yet, run...don't walk (but not too fast, you don't want to wear yourself out before your workout) Do. Yourself. The. Favor. Take. The. Class. Holla! read more

I have taken several classes at BoxUnion Santa Monica and have loved them all! The studio is so clean and the team is very welcoming! I have to shout out coaches Caitlin and Rachel who bring the absolute best energy which is so important for an early morning weekday class! Caitlin and Rachel's classes are fun, challenging and they fly by. I'm looking forward to taking other coaches classes as well- I'm sure they're just as awesome!! read more

Came back to box union after a little hiatus, it has only gotten better! The instructor Adonus was one of the best I've experienced! I usually don't enjoy the music in these classes but WOW has that changed. I found myself keeping up just by listening and singing along to the music! I got a great workout and felt as though I didn't lose the integrity of my real boxing stance. Everything was so smooth! I'm usually counting down the time until class is over but this classes end time snuck up on me! Thank you again I hope his name was Adonus if not he was the African American male instructor! read more

A truly fun and feel good workout! Adonus was full of energy and made the class fun for everyone! It flew by. Everyone who works there was super welcoming and upbeat. Very clean studio. Can't wait to come back! read more

I love this boxing studio! If you are looking for a workout that is fun and energetic, but will also kick your butt, this is the place. I have been coming a few times now and every time I burn just about 600 calories during the 45 minute class and leave drenched, fantastic workout! The trainers and staff at this studio are amazing as well!! Everyone is so welcoming and uplifting. Oscar is so helpful and so kind and has made the studio such a welcoming environment! Also, shoutout to Lo Santos for being the most amazing trainer! She is so sweet and motivating, not to mention has the most killer workouts! read more

BU is back & better than ever!!! Following Covid safety protocols, the studio ensures each boxer has proof of vaccine or a negative test + masks are required. Oscar, store manager, is so sweet and always has a smile on his face. To all the front desk peeps, love you guys!!! Thank you for always making me feel welcomed & for being my biggest cheerleaders. And of course the coaches - shoutout Coach Lo and Coach Lany for always pushing me to go harder everyday. I purchased the unlimited package to challenge myself and if it weren't for the coaches and the people working the front desk, I wouldn't have done it. If you haven't taken a class yet I HIGHLY recommend!!! Love the BU fam & community :) read more

Really love this studio. Neha at the desk is beyond helpful and welcoming when she greets me. She makes me feel so good. And I LIVE for Deja's classes. I have tried countless fitness studios and Deja has that IT quality. She is so inspiring and the Workout is amazing. read more

Signed up for the 3 class first timers special. It was hard at first to get the moves down but Kyle and Déjà are amazing and help a lot. I really loved it and signed up for the unlimited month first timers special after i finished my 3 classes. Decided I couldn't get enough after that month expired and now I'm going regularly 3-4 times a week! It's such an amazing class and great for that after work stress relief . It's also amazing to be around people who are positive and constantly pushing you to be your best self, not only physically but mentally. read more

I was looking for a UFC type of kick boxing workout and it was more like a dance class. Very cute how you hit the bag with every beat, but not exactly what I was looking for. This girl Taylor who was supposed to help encourage people elbowed me twice as she walked by and never said excuse me (two different days). The instructor Adonus was super positive and cool. If it were a regular UFC class I would certainly take his class (without Taylor in it of course). Close to my new place; I was hoping to find a new boxing gym but unfortunately am still looking! read more

Boxunion is a great boutique fitness studio. I know 'boutique' is overused but it really is a specialized business model that is big on community, curated 45 Min boxing classes, and very talented instructors that motivate, inspire and challenge you! It's a super welcoming environment from front desk staffers welcoming first timers and regulars alike with the same, consistent friendly service without the attitude to the instructors who are uber passionate about teaching the students boxing in a group setting to a curated playlist. The whole idea is finding your flow, your rhythm. Sure you're not going to get it on the first try, but you will a lot quicker if you learn the basic combos -to the beat. Somehow, you find your flow after getting out of your own way + not overthinking the technique too much. It just clicks one day but the process of getting to that 'a-ha!' Flow state is so much fun!!! This is an amazing studio with amazing instructors in a fabulous community! A group fitness setting you will not want to miss! GO! read more

By far the best class I've ever taken. If you have any built up anger, stress, energy, or just want to get in a good old workout you HAVE TO give this a try. Gabby is seriously the best hype person to have in your corner! Agh she really made the class what it was. I've been to plenty of group classes and I just hate the awkward feel of everyone watching you all while trying to follow along with the coach/ instructor. YOU GUYS! This 45 min class is in a dark room environment! I meannnnnn genius!!!!! Us ladies or gents who don't typically catch on fast to a routine or a quick work out don't feel so out of place! I went at my own speed and felt absolutely comfortable! Can we just talk real quick about the vibe and the coach? Gabby has this fast upbeat music to work out too, everyone has their own punching bag and we just go at it! Letting off all that built up stream and energy! All while we're all struggling to catch our breath, gabby the superwoman over here, effortlessly coaches us and demonstrates all at the same time!!! We couldn't figure out how she did this. But man she is absolute goals! You can tell this woman was born to do this! This class is great for any level, you basically don't have to be Floyd Mayweather to enjoy this class. Everyone feeds off of each other's vibes, and we were all there to kick a**! And by that I mean our own a** ;) Real quick on parking and the actual place. Parking- there is a garage however we were running late so we went ahead and did one hour street parking right out front no trouble finding a spot. And the location was not hard to find. It was a clear sign outfront if you have a problem finding it uhm I don't know what to tell you buddy. But box union itself doesn't come up in imaps you have to copy paste the actual address in your phone (not that serious). Clean and friendly small environment, the facility is clean and well taken cared of. Try it out, take a class with Gabby, you won't regret it. Your body can thank me later :) read more

I am not usually a "class" fan but LOVE the classes I do at Box Union. It is an amazing workout to great music, leaves you feeling super strong and works your whole body. It does take two or three classes to get the moves down, but once you do its fast and fun and FABULOUS! The studio is modern and really clean, the staff are great and the trainers are amazing. Highly recommend you give it a try - you will get "hooked" ! read more

Great instructors in a clean, stylish gym dedicated to an innovative workout experience, BoxUnion is in the vanguard of LA workouts. The sessions are challenging, but the sweaty grins are all around afterward. I started out by taking the form and footwork class, even though I had boxed a bit before. I'd recommend this introductory class to all first-timers. It gives you a chance to get familiar with how the BoxUnion classes work and teaches enough of the basics to get you started. After that, you're fully ready for the Signature classes. They're high-paced and fun. read more

Fun boxing workout! I used to box a lot as a kid, and this was a great group exercise class. Wasn't super challenging (I'd say 6.5/10 intensity), but you're moving all throughout the class so you definitely work up a sweat. Went on a fitness date with the Mrs. and we enjoyed it - showered in their bathrooms, and walked around Santa Monica afterwards - made a day out of it. Kyle was a good instructor, and the music was good. read more

There is no other studio in LA that brings me as much happiness and strength as BoxUnion! A few ClassPass visits in I was hooked and immediately signed up for the unlimited membership and haven't looked back. I find it incredibly hard to stay away... so much so that you'll likely see me twice in a day if I can swing it! This is the best 45 minutes of my day. Not just because the workout will kick your ass and make you feel like an empowered ninja - but also because the community they've built at BoxUnion is one of the most loving, supportive and welcoming I've encountered in any LA studio. From the folks greeting you by name as you walk in, to the owners who make an effort to know all of their members, to the trainers who kick your butt but you still want to be friends with afterwards, and the friends I've made by just showing up. Visit this place ASAP! - Great instructors (Don't sleep on Kyle, Deja and Aaron!) - Good for all levels - beginner to advanced - Awesome music - Clean facilities, showers and dreamy Malin + Goetz products - 45 minute classes - Parking on street or lot - Awesome merch - Lockers read more

i'm someone that was never consistently active and working out was always chore. 6 months ago i decided to give boxunion a try and it's changed my life since! i look forward to starting or ending my week with a boxunion class. it's difficult but i've learned to love the challenge and have been so impressed with my progress so far. my favorite part about it is the energy in the room and the music to hype you up and keep you going. favorite instructors are lany, cory and lo. i love that they offer evening classes for those of us who work abnormal hours at the hospital like me! quick shout out to the lovely ladies kayla and sam for making me feel welcome and part of the squad! read more

Great fun and a great cardio workout. The only reason for four instead of five stars is because it's very difficult to see the instructor and so even though I've taken a lot of boxing classes, I can't tell exactly what they're doing. read more

LOVE this place! It's a fantastic workout with high-energy instructors. The studio is super modern, clean and new. You can rent gloves per class if you don't have your own, and you can purchase quick wraps for $5. If you're looking for a fun, sweaty, full body workout this is it. It's the only cardio I actually enjoy! Highly recommend! My favorite coaches are Sydney, Aaron and Deja. read more

This was my first time experiencing a boxing class like this and it will not be my last!!! BoxUnion truly has an experience like no other. I left feeling so inspired and energized for the week ahead. The staff is AMAZING!! Neha was so helpful!! As a first timer in exercise classes, it can always intimidating and she made me feel so comfortable and confident in the class!! I cannot recommend BoxUnion enough and will continue to bring my friends!! Thank you for all that you do!! read more

I've done a lot of workouts in my life (I was a gymnast, circus performer, dancer, etc). Without exaggeration, this class is the most fun, complete full body workout I have ever done. Overall I have always disliked cardio, but have always needed it badly. This has been the best, most fun cardio workout I've experienced. I don't usually sweat a whole lot, but am drenched after this boxing class. I DO feel empowered after every single class. Other workouts boast it, but I haven't ever felt this great this consistently. I think it has a lot to do with the workout allowing me to challenge and push myself on a completely custom level each class. A pull-up is as hard as a pull up every time. But a punch has an infinite number of gradient levels. I'm a complete convert. Then on top of the workout being so amazing, the space is setup well also. They have a shower with a full complement of bathroom needs (shampoo, conditioner, towels, q-tips, etc). The design of the space is fresh and feels nice and new. My one piece of advice to new students is don't over do it on your first workout. It took be 2-3 classes to realize it's a stamina game and SUPER easy to have burned yourself out halfway in. Again, so so happy to have found BoxUnion and super looking forward to the Robertson store opening up! read more

This place has literally increased my happiness!! I had flatlined at the gym and Box Union has revived me! No joke. 45 minute butt kicking classes with dimmed lights, amazing music, inspirational instructors and a workout that gets you results fast! I am addicted and it's a good thing! I have tried everything, Soul Cycle, Barre Method, Pilates, private trainers you name it but Box Union is by far the best and most fun! Love it!!!! read more

Went here for my first class this morning and it was fantastic. The front desk staff is super friendly and helpful, and helped me figure out how to put on my hand wraps and get situated. The studio is dark inside, and just the right temperature--not hot, but also not too cold. If you're new to boxing, getting there early helps, because the instructor goes through all of the punches and moves before the class begins. I missed half of that, but have taken many a boxing class in the past, so caught up quickly. The music was great, and the class was super fast-paced. I beat the crap out of the bag, did lots of lunges, push-ups, ab-work and jumping jacks. It's a little hard to see the instructor unless you're right in front, but I was able to watch the people in front of me to keep up. At the end, I was super sweaty and felt worked. Really appreciated the nice, clean restroom with showers and all the (Malin+Goetz!) products necessary to get clean if you don't have time to go home afterwards. read more

Absolutely loved this place. I haven't been to many boxing studios but I've definitely researched many and they are not half as aesthetically pleasing as this one. The workout is TOUGH, especially if you don't box often. My upper body felt like it went through a whole sprint workout. Staff is extremely welcoming and nice. read more

Was in LA for a visit and wanted to get a good workout in. First time at this place... amazing!!!! I took the Signature class with Marxel. It was one of the toughest workouts in my life IN A GOOD WAY! I definitely felt like I worked out everything and left feeling great and accomplished. Marxel was super upbeat and supportive. Fun music playing and Marxel encouraging everyone. It was such a supportive class and extremely fun! I punched, I sweat, and I enjoyed. He included an an specific portion of the class which was also tough but great. I would highly recommend both Box Union and Marxel as a teacher. I did the intro class package and you get you wraps for free. The place was extremely clean and staff were lovely. Hands down would go again! read more

Was recommended by a friend to try out BoxUnion and I can't say I was disappointed. The music was on point, the workout was on point, the mood was on point, I literally loved it! It was truly a great experience and I can't wait to go back again! Also, thanks to Neha for helping me with everything! read more

I've never written a yelp review before but my experience here has been so fantastic I felt the need to do so. I'm out of shape and have been wanting to make some changes in my life. Everyone at BoxUnion makes me feel completely welcome and I don't feel like I'm being judged like I have at other places. The instructors push you during the class and could not be more helpful and friendly. Everyone working the front desk could not be more pleasant to interact with. The place is super clean and everything from parking to check in is super easy. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in trying boxing or just getting in a great workout. I'm totally addicted to BoxUnion. read more

I was introduced to BU by my best friend Tiffany. She would bring me to class whenever I would visit from Atlanta. I loved the in person classes that I was able to experience! When shutdown hit, she introduced me to the BU IG page where they were doing lives everyday for a few weeks. I began doing those and even recruited some friends and family to join in. Once the digital platform launched I signed up for that and now almost 7 months in, I can't imagine what my physical and mental health would be like without it. I take classes everyday, sometimes twice. I love Lany's classes. I don't think I have missed one yet. She adds in some really cool animal flow movements that really push your body to try new things! And I have slowly started to explore all of the other digital coaches too! Tara is the ab queen and I love it!!!! Everyone is fantastic and brings their own flavor to their classes. I say all this to say, the $30 a month for digital is a small price to pay for what an amazing gift BUD is! Thanks for Everything BU! Kelly read more

I loved it so much I had to leave my first yelp review! Amazing workout and a beautiful studio! Everyone is genuinely nice here, the young lady at the front desks (I'm sorry I can't remember her name, she was one of the managers, I know it started with an N) she really made me feel at home. The instructor Adonus was AMAZING! Great energy with a killer workout! I'll definitely be coming back. THANK YOU BOXUNION read more

Been here 4-5 times- Love love Deja, great energy lots of different movements! Not a huge fan of Kyle, he definitely favors the regulars and doesn't really do different movements from one class to another. read more

What a fun and welcoming place to get your sweat on. BoxUnion makes boxing accessible to anyone and everyone. You sweat, you work, you dance, it's a place where you can go in feeling meh and walk out feeling strong and fulfilled. The instructors are wonderful- super high energy and you can tell they enjoy their job. Check it out! read more

Staff was friendly. Club was clean and inviting. Non intimidating atmosphere and Deja led an amazing class.

Classes are good for first-timers and for people who have boxing experience. The instructors are energetic, motivating and engaged. They'll demonstrate basic punches and moves at the beginning of class. During class, they'll come around to help with form or just to play around with you! The studio has very nice wraps and gloves to borrow or buy. I recommend investing in your own so you can save money on rental fees and be motivated to go back! The class is a mix of plyometrics, floor work (core) and heavy bag work. The drills are to the music (think Soulcycle) so the 45 minute class flies by in a flash. The instructors are all good - they each have their own unique style so find one that jives with you. It doesn't matter who you take, you will be drenched in sweat after class. The workout is intense and very fun at the same time. If you're having a bad day/week/year, it's a fun way to let out some stress. =) Facility is SUPER NICE. The bathrooms have Malin + Goetz! Boxunion has water, towels (hand and bath), and lockers. Dont worry.. this isn't a gritty boxing gym.. it's super lux but you'll still get a killer workout. read more

Cool, modern and clean new studio with great bathrooom facilities. Challenging and fun classes set to awesome music with great instructors. Never been crazy in to boxing but have really been enjoying my Box Union classes. Also love that they have lunchtime express classes! read more
