I’ve been training at Downtown Boxing Gym for a while now, and it’s easily one of the best spots in Silver Spring. The coaches are super helpful and give great 1-on-1 guidance, which has really helped my form. The gym is always clean and well-organized (you can tell the owner takes pride in the space!). What I love most is the community—everyone is friendly, and there’s a good mix of beginners and pro level to train with. They also provide shared sparring gear, so it's perfect if you're just starting out and don't want to buy everything at once. Plus, it’s right by the metro station, so getting here is a breeze. Highly recommend!"
Downtown Boxing Club is truly a multicultural place where every day feels like a new lesson learned. I honestly haven’t had a bad day here — I genuinely get excited to come to this gym. The culture is amazing, and Aaron (the owner and coach) has a deep understanding of boxing fundamentals while building something special with the community. He’s curating a positive, driven environment where everyone supports each other and works hard. I started here in August 2025 at 250 lbs, and I’m now down to 225. The progress speaks for itself. If you’re looking for real coaching, great energy, and a welcoming atmosphere, Downtown Boxing Club is the place to be. 👊 We are living our best lives.
My experience is by far the best boxing gym. Coaches are amazing. They put so much effort and heart to their teachings and they would teach you and help you be better at boxing. Everyone in that gym are so nice and humble. Everyone would give feedbacks to each other and also have fun with you, too. When I step foot in this gym, I never expected to have more fun and this boxing gym has changed my life and now all I can think of is coming to the boxing gym to train and hang out with everyone there. They are the reasons why I keep coming back and they would also do some smokers fight nights and its the best experience to have fun with your friends/family. Coach Aaron is such a great coach, also a very good person, too. He has trained me, well. He has a lot of passion for this sport and everytime I would ask him for tips, he always be happy to listen and teach. Its because of him I have improved in boxing and I am grateful and proud of to be part of this gym🥊
A great space covered in windows usually kept open, to make you feel the community on Fenton Street and just outside DTSS. The gym is inclusive and has a welcoming atmosphere and friendly vibe; it's beginner-friendly, with regular first-timer classes, but there's a great blend of experiences and ambitions across coaches and members. Coach Aaron is a great teacher and motivator, as are all the other coaches I've worked with. Sparring and partner drills are easy to come by (dedicated sparring is on Wednesdays and Saturdays), but you can also do the "weekly workout" on the board that gives some direction to heavy bag work and shadowboxing. Coaches are great at either following your lead if you have particular things you want to work on or coming up with drills and patterns for general practice. I'd never touched a boxing glove six months ago; Downtown Boxing Club has turned the sport into a passion. Can't recommend it more!
I love this gym. Very inclusive and feels like a real community here. As a woman, I was concerned about trying a boxing class since it’s a male-dominated sport. Coach Aaron and Coach Dave are truly the best and made it feel fun and approachable. You won’t be disappointed here!
