I've been on and off in boxing and Muay Thai over the years, but I've been consistent thanks to…read morefinding a home at Urban Boxing. The space is well laid out and kept clean; staff is friendly and gets to know you; and every coach knows exactly what they're doing. Boxing coaches like Jordan structure a class so you learn technique, get a good workout, and condition your body. And jiu-jitsu classes led by Ron or Mike challenge you to learn every time you visit. (They even got this girl rolling around for the sport!) This isn't a gym where you just slug your fists into a bag and get a summer body: You're going to learn real skills here to work your body and brain, and give you self defense techniques. If you've thought about trying boxing, kickboxing, or jiu-jitsu, give Urban Boxing a try - I think your first class is free, too.

I visited Urban boxing navy yard for the second time and took an all levels course. As a beginner,…read moreI appreciated their "no rush" approach to helping me wrap my hands and get situated. Front dark staff was great at giving us a run down of what to expect in the class prior to it starting. And where all the amenities are. The shower room Was nice and spacious (although being your own towel) and I appreciated that they had tampons in the women's bathroom. The class was a nice combo of cardio, core/strength, and skills. I appreciated the constant movement around. The studio to different areas, including the occasional lap around the entire facility. Class didn't feel too big and we had enough space to do our partner work and hit the bags without hitting each other. The instructor did some individual work but it was limited to 30 seconds or less give. There were 15-20 people in the class. He was available when I had questions about what the combo we were practicing was (if I didn't get it the first two times) and made several corrections to my form along the way. All levels class was good for beginners and definitely a moderate to high intensity workout (depending on how hard you go).

I came to N-Flux to find a hobby and ended up finding a passion and a home away from home. Yes,…read moreit's a gym, and the new facility in the bottom level of 1722 I Street will blow your mind with all the new equipment and toys (no more stripper poles, just tons of mats, gloves, pads and other goodies). But more importantly, this place is a community. N-Flux has the best instructors and classes you will find anywhere in DC if you're interested in taking Krav Maga, Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, and all sorts of other martial arts and combat sports. Chris and Colleen are the best instructors I've ever seen. They don't just want you to get skills, they teach concepts, conditioning, and character. Part of the training is how to be a good classmate, and experienced students help newer students and welcome new people. As a result, you're not just coming for a workout, you walk away welcomed and encouraged to be the best you can be -in everything. The classes are challenging in the best way, even their Yoga classes (and I hated yoga before I took N-Flux yoga with the amazing Scott and Maicie!). Chris and Colleen are tough and push you to be your best. Since starting, I've lost 25 pounds, gained 25 new friends, and according to my work colleagues, "am the happiest I've ever been." This place is way more than a gym and you won't know what you're missing until you come try it for yourself.

If you are into Krav Maga, then this is the place for you. It is a small studio on the top floor of…read morea small building that is only accessible by way of a small elevator. But once inside it does not feel small at all. As a matter of fact you forget everything other than the class as even the beginner classes are intense. You come here to learn to fight and defend yourself. It's intense, it hard, and sometimes it hurts. But if you want to sweat, get a hell of a workout and kick some ass, then this is the place to be.

I've been training with Teddy for almost 8 months now and it is the best decision I've ever made!…read moreCame in with zero boxing experience and couldn't have landed a better coach. He's knowledgeable, focuses on technical skills at your own pace; and while gives you a hell of a workout (I finish almost every session drenched in sweat). Since starting, I feel stronger, have lost weight, overall feel better physically and mentally, and am excited/looking forward to our class every week. Teddy is patient and breaks down techniques to a level you will understand and pick up on. l I toyed around with the idea of starting classes with him for a year and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Cannot wait to keep going!

Great workout and super supportive trainers! I was really surprised at how hard this was haha!…read moreDefinitely a good way to build cardio and strength at the same time. I had never kickboxed before and the trainer was so helpful educating me and encouraging me! They have pictures at each station demonstrating the move. Each station has 3 levels so as you become a regular, you can do more difficult moves and combinations. The gym is open for some hours so you can hop into the circuit at any time, you don't have to wait for a specific class time so that's really nice. A bit pricey but so are all these speciality gyms
