    Great workout on the Esplanade! I’m a beginner and I felt welcome, introduced to the moves with openness and thoughtfulness. I had time with Johnny 1:1 which helped. I got a great workout and was sore the next day. Definitely going back! I love the outdoor session.

    I went with a friend while visiting Charleston, and I absolutely loved it. I was super nervous going in because it was my first time ever boxing, but I felt so welcomed! Coach Johnny spent some one-on-one time with me working on proper boxing technique. This is the perfect way to workout your entire body while having fun. Fair warning, you will be sore the next day, but it’s worth it!

    Back Bay Boxing always gives us a fun + challenging time!! There was one workout where we did 1000 push-ups. I always feel more confident after shadow boxing + burpees. Coach Johnny's highly motivating energy keeps us coming back. We collaborate with them every semester virtually + definitely look forward to future semesters!

    Great workout! Coach really knows how to lead a class. Great for fitness, but also learning real boxing. Everyone's there to get better, and encourage everyone else to get better, too.

    John and Kayleigh are great coaches, great teachers of boxing, and amazing individuals. They have created a very welcoming atmosphere where everyone is treated with respect - this is not your grandfather's boxing gym. You will improve your technique, your strength, and your cardio with each workout. I highly recommend trying a class.

    First time I ever picked up boxing gloves was about a month ago at Back Bay Boxing. The coaches taught me everything I needed to get started and boxing has quickly become one of my new favorite hobbies. It’s a great way to add diversity to your traditional workouts. The coaches are also great, and put a lot of energy and care into coaching. I like how they really focus on technique and everyone gets a little one on one time throughout the class. Also, they remember everyones by name after the second or third time coming in, which is awesome. Great place to start your boxing journey and to develop your skills.

    I'M HOOKED! Back bay boxing is my saving grace. Not only is this a great workout, but the coaches and community are unmatched. You're having so much fun in class, you find yourself not wanting it to end, even though you're dripping sweat. This is a must try!

    I have really enjoyed my time so far at Back Bay Boxing. Anyone looking for a great workout and to learn from a knowledgable trainer, that this is the spot for you. Johnny and team take their time to ensure that you are comfortable and using the right techniques. You can tell how much they care and how much experience they have in the industry. This has exceeded my expectations, and I recommend it to anyone in the area looking to join a boxing gym.

    Awesome boxing studio that has a great mix of cardio and technique rolled into each class. The work out will absolutely kick your a$$, but you will leave feeling great! Coaches are both awesome and it's right downtown so it's super convenient. Highly recommend!

    I’ve been going to Back Bay Boxing consistently for the past three months and it had been life changing. My mental and physical health has never been better. Coach Johnny and Coach Kaleigh do an excellent job of teaching while keeping the class at a fast-pace. If you are looking for a HIIT workout with a boxing focus, this is the place.

    Such an awesome class! John was nice enough to host a group of girls from our sorority. He is a great instructor, especially for people starting out. Most of us had never been before and John did an amazing job helping us out and showing us the ropes. He even wrapped all of our hands! It was a tough workout that was also fun for everyone. Would highly recommend. Everyone kept saying how much they enjoyed the class. We will be back soon!

    BBB offers a great online workout. The instructor is really positive and fun. I've done two sessions so far and I've felt really challenged. This may be a bit advanced for those who aren't in the best shape, but it's good for those who are getting back into shape or have been working out for a few weeks.

    Had one of the best workouts of my life and want to keep coming back! The instructors made the group feel welcome and excited and put us right to work! Many of us had no experience with boxing but the instructors did a wonderful job teaching while keeping us moving and on our toes. I would HIGHLY recommend BBB and I heard nothing but positive reviews from all that attended the class. Get ready to sweat and work hard in a motivating & high energy environment.

  • 5/5 Nicole S. 3 years ago on Google
    John is a fantastic instructor and vastly helped my friend improve their technique and helped me learn for the first time. He even taught me how to wrap my hands properly before the class started. He really tailors his advice to each individual and somehow watches everyone at once! It had been awhile since I exercised consistently and he made me excited to train harder than ever! I walked away 2-3 times a week with muscles screaming and enjoyed every second of it and saw improvement quickly. I tried a couple other boxing places in the area and this is by far the best, again because John gives such great and specific advice. I unfortunately just moved away from Boston and will truly miss this amazing boxing class.

    Super fun class with flexible instructors who help make it a great experience for all levels. Definitely check them out!

  • 2/5 Gordon C. 9 months ago on Google
    I couldn't seem to contact anybody so I decided to show up on a boxing day. The website gave two different times. 7:00 a.m. and 7:30. I knew only one of them had to be right so I showed up at 7:00 and no one was there. It turns out classes were canceled all this week.

  • 5/5 Dylan H. 9 months ago on Google
    Back Bay Boxing is awesome. I have experience with other fighting styles but came here in hopes of cleaning up my boxing technique. Four classes in and I am really enjoying it. I didn't know how to jump rope at all before this class and I am steadily getting better. The workouts crush me in a good way each time and Coach Johnny has been extremely helpful with his critiques. Many different experience levels are present in his gym, but I felt welcome on day one and it is a pleasant gym to go to.

  • 5/5 Rob H. 8 months ago on Google
    Back Bay boxing has been everything I needed and more for my fitness routine. Thus far my experience has been unparalleled to any other path I've followed. Didn't know what to expect going into it but glad I gave it a try. Not being a heavy bag facility they encompass more group based exercise strategies which welcomed me into a fellowship of like-minded individuals. The owners are highly knowledgeable, professional, and amiable. Beyond grateful to have found this establishment and will be back soon!

    Great workout! It was almost 3 years since I have done any bag work. Coach John is highly skilled and gives a great overall class. Will be back!

  • 5/5 Brigitte S. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent class, fast paced and accessible for me and seasoned boxers. Teacher is positive, high energy and fun.

  • 5/5 Max H. 2 years ago on Google
    So lucky I found Back Bay Boxing! Excellent instruction and Coach Johnny really wants to teach every member how to box correctly. He cultivates a great atmosphere as well. Plus, I've never found a better workout than a boxing workout, and Back Bay Boxing workouts push everyone to their maximum.

😐 A pretty decent gym. It won't blow you away but its one of the better ones in Boston. However, despite them following the rules and implementing numerous protocols to keep the gym clean and safe, they are being shut down by the Mayor again. Unfortunately, it appears the owners, like many of the me...
