Stopped into Back Bay Boxing whilst visiting Boston for the weekend upon recommendation from a colleague! John and team were extremely welcoming and we had a great 50 minute workout! Would highly recommend for anyone staying in the area. Simple, no frills boxing with a welcoming atmosphere and great coaching!
I love this place! Every trainer is different but awesome and challenging. The staff and other members are very welcoming. You leave there drenched in sweat and feeling better than when you walked in the door. I highly recommend it to all levels of fitness.
I absolutely love this gym. The Boxing Technique class is fantastic with a great cardio and strength warm-up followed by sparring - it's an awesome work-out! John is a great instructor that caters to both beginners and more advanced participants. Bonus: he has a great sense of humor!

I was looking for something different to add to my workout routine, so I tried BBB and LOVED it. With no previous boxing experience I was able to learn the technique quickly from John, and now I'm hooked. The workout is great, and the members and staff are amazing.

This gym is one I've been wanting to try for a while, and I finally worked up the nerve to give it a shot. If you're feeling the same, definitely go!! John is so friendly and attentive. But one of the most surprising things was how helpful and encouraging all the members were as the class went on! I go to a lot of group fitness classes, and rarely do you find such a friendly and welcoming group of people. It speaks a lot to the atmosphere he's created in the gym, and I'll definitely be back.

Having no prior boxing experience, I was intimidated to try out a class. I called John to see if I may be a good fit to give class a shot and he encouraged me to come down and welcomes all beginners. I've been hooked since and am on my 2nd month of my membership. Its a great, welcoming community that adds fun into working out. Would highly recommend anyone to join!

I'm hooked. I went into my first class so nervous and expecting to be so intimidated the whole time, having never really done a boxing class. I was so pleasantly surprised. John was attentive and made me feel like I belonged from the start. And let me tell you, these classes are such an awesome full body workout. I went back for the second time this week and loved it just as much. The classes are fun too! And everyone was really helpful and patient. I can't wait to bring friends next week! Definitely recommend this place.

What a great workout! I did my first class today coming in with minimal boxing experience but still got a ton of personalized advice both from John and more experienced people in the class. There was a wide range of ability, but it was clear that everyone was exhausted by the end of it. You don't need any gear to start since you can buy cheap hand wrap there and they have communal gloves, but make sure you bring plenty of water.
I have taken boxing classes all over the city of Boston, and truly have enjoyed my experience at Back Bay Boxing! Although I am only two classes in I have made a commitment to myself to go at least once a week! If you can survive the warm up you can do anything! What makes this class so great is the small class numbers. no more than 15/16 people. This makes a huge difference and that attention to detail John has on coaching is great! Keeps you excited and engaged. The partner work is also very endearing! Everyone is friendly and helpful, especially for first timers. It's not a flashy gym, but the work and sweat is real and I recommend it to anyone who wants a challenge and to feel accomplished!
I have been boxing with John at Back Bay Boxing for around 6/7 months now and I can't begin to recommend this gym enough. There really is such a sense of community at the gym and truly everyone feels welcome regardless of whether you are a newbie to exercise or an avid gym rat! John's focus on technique is definitely something that differentiates these classes from other boxing gyms in the area, and you can definitely see your technique improving when you stick with the classes. Highly recommend to anyone looking out for a new fitness class!
I tried a class at Back Bay Boxing through Classpass about 2 months ago and I haven't taken a class anywhere else since! Probably the best kind of boxing class instruction I've ever had- John's style of coaching is not only motivating and fun, but you really learn correct boxing technique and footwork. All in all, the fun group atmosphere makes a really hard workout go by quickly! Without a doubt you will leave class feeling accomplished (and sweaty!)
Amazing coach who offered a personalized workout for me and a friend. The best work out I have had since i ran varsity on a college track team (5 years ago) and a very enjoyable experience. The coach is very nice, flexible and gives a killer workout. I highly recommend it!!
When you look at the value and overall experience, this is by far the best boxing gym in Boston. The difference between Back Bay Boxing and the other chain gyms is evident from your first class.
Coach John Murray and his trainers are the difference.
John takes a personalized approach and puts in the time necessary to help improve your technique and fundamentals. Each class is different from the warm up to the actual boxing workout and it doesn't get repetitive like at other boxing gyms. Last but not least, the workout itself is killer and you burn a lot of calories and leave the class drenched in sweat =P
If you're looking to have fun, learn or improve in boxing, and get a great workout, look no further than Back Bay Boxing. John and his trainers are hands down the best in Boston!
John is super nice and helpful during classes. The workouts are challenging but manageable especially if you stick with it! I never boxed before this gym. However, I always felt welcomed and encouraged to keep going through the learning curves. Great gym!
First time learning box and this was the place to learn! It's a hardcore workout that teaches you the basics to the techniques. John is an awesome instructor and you can tell he's passionate for boxing. If you want to get an awesome workout and learn some awesome boxing moves and progress, I recommend coming here 100%!
Had a great first class! The instructor was very welcoming and accommodating! He really took the time to walk me and my friend through all the steps. Would recommend to anyone!
John (the owner and teacher of the classes) is fantastic. The class sizes are small enough that he is constantly coming around and making sure you are using the right technique. Other gyms in Boston are much larger and don't give you as much one on one instruction. He definitely kicks your butt, would highly recommend his class to anyone trying to learn how to box or just as an intense workout!
I've taken a handful of classes with John and without fail, they've been some of the best workout classes I've ever taken. The work out itself is amazing - it's a super challenging aerobic and strength workout that makes me sore for literally days afterwards.
All of the classes I've taken are appropriate for beginners and John somehow gives everyone in the class a lot of personal attention. The environment is great and as far as I know, it's the only workout space in Boston that was built by its owner :) highly recommend!
Hands down, the best fitness class of any kind in Boston, and as a ClassPass fanatic with exercise ADD, I should know. On top of getting an amazing head-to-toe workout, you actually learn good form and technique and can feel yourself making progress after just a few classes. John is super patient with boxing newbies like me who may be a little challenged in the hand-eye coordination department, and will work one-on-one with you until you get it right. I've also found that the more experienced students are always super nice and helpful. The whole class finds a perfect balance of being serious about the work but keeping a friendly and fun vibe. My exercise routine may have finally found a focus!
Great workout with a focus on building up boxing stamina and technique! The teacher is tough but fair and stresses safety first while challenging both beginners and seasoned clients alike. He also encourages a community atmosphere each class.
Back Bay Boxing Gym and Fitness (BBB) is by far the best boxing workout I have had in Boston. The technique class has allowed me to quickly strengthen my eye & hand coordination, rhythm and overall endurance. After taking just a few classes, my focus at work has improved and truly look forward to continuing both group and private classes.
I can't express how happy I am to become a member at Back Bay Boxing gym. John is an excellent trainer - very kind, humble, polite and patient! Best part is that he himself teaches all his classes. He keeps the size of his class small so he can focus on each and every member. Every one hour session is based on true HIIT regime and is very intense.
Whether your goal is to become a professional boxer (with accurate techniques) or you want to have a meaningful and result realizing fitness workout session - whatever your goal is, you'll get it fulfilled under this one roof! You'll definitely get the best experience out of it starting from your first class itself. The environment that John creates in his class and the people that come here are very positive and friendly.
The class packages are very affordable plus the gloves combos and other cool Back Bay merchandise is available at the gym itself. This is all worth your time and money! I definitely plan to be a long term member at Back bay Boxing gym and be coached by John.
This place receives all 5 stars for a reason! Check this place out TODAY, guys, I am telling you; you'll be proud of yourself for making at least one best decision in your life - joining Back Bay Boxing gym!
Today was my first class here and just boxin in general! The instructor John was so kind and helpful. I got there right as class was starting and he made it easy for me to hop right in. You can purchase wraps on the spot and borrow gloves. It's pretty fast paced but everyone in the class was also very helpful. It's a smaller space and class which works well for me personally as a beginner. That being said, it would be a great class and work out for many levels as far as I can tell. I can't wait to go back!!
Back Bay Boxing is an excellent place to change your usual routine and try a new, fun, and intense work out. I found the trainers to be encouraging and non intimidating, while challenging at the same time. This was a win-win as a beginner.
Since there are limited class sizes one has the ability to interact with others while getting personal training on the side. That said, I've never had an issue registering for a class.
All in all, it's an A++ environment for burning an obscene amount of calories while having blast. You will walk out drenched and not knowing why you signed up..... but will come back again and again to box.
I went to Back Bay Boxing for the first time a week ago and had the best boxing experience I've had in Boston! Unlike instructors at other (bigger) boxing studios, John emphasizes technique and provides personalized feedback throughout the class. Classes are also much smaller than those I've taken at other studios, which allows for a lot more individualized attention. Since taking that first class, I've joined Back Bay Boxing on a monthly membership, and I couldn't be happier! Great workout, great instructor, and great classmates. Definitely give Back Bay Boxing a shot if you're interested in not only getting an amazing workout but also improving your boxing skills and meeting some cool people!
