EXCELLENT GYM! Coach really knows his stuff and gives solid, personalized training. Equipment is solid, the space is focused, and I've made real progress in strength and technique. Highly recommend!
I’ve known Doc since I was a kid, watching him train back when he was an active heavyweight monster. Always been a huge role model and leader figure to me. I appreciate this guy beyond words! Great man and a great coach, and has been there for me throughout the years. If you want a really good workout try his 1 on 1 sessions. You won’t be disappointed.
I love coming to this gym. Both owners Michelle and Doc are very caring and supportive. They have helped me out in hard times and encouraged me to keep coming. I’ve been attending the women’s classes and they are a great workout. I started out as a complete beginner, and now I’m way more confident and I can feel my stamina increasing. We have a lot of fun while working out and get to make friends while we’re at it!!
Doc Barron – The Best Coach I’ve Worked With, Hands Down As a professional boxer who’s trained with coaches all over the country, I can honestly say Doc Barron stands at the top of my list. Every time I travel to Washington, I make it a priority to get work in with him — no matter what. His knowledge, passion, and attention to detail are on another level. In just three weeks training with Doc, I dropped from 213 lbs to 197 lbs, while sharpening my skills and conditioning like never before. His workouts are brutal in the best way — purposeful, technical, and designed to make you dig deep. When it comes to one-on-one sessions, he’s unmatched. He doesn’t just run you through drills — he breaks things down, teaches you why each movement matters, and helps you understand the fight game on a deeper level. What really separates Doc is his experience and the results you can feel. His fighter Jamie, who he’s coached since day one, gives me some of my toughest rounds every time I’m in town. That’s a reflection of Doc’s ability to build fighters from the ground up with discipline, precision, and confidence. Doc isn’t just a coach — he’s a mentor, a motivator, and a genuine believer in his fighters. He’s well-connected with promoters and has even opened doors for me to step back into the professional scene. If you’re serious about boxing, or just want to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of — Doc Barron is the real deal. I’ve worked with great trainers across the country, but to this day, he’s the best coach in my book.
I've been a member of Barron's Boxing since October 2024 and attend the women's classes. I've learned a lot and made some new friends in the process. I enjoy the challenging workout I get while learning something at the same time. The atmosphere is great and the coaches are awesome. I highly recommend Barron's Boxing to anyone who is looking for a good workout and wants to learn something new 🥊🥊. A variety of classes are offered by age, type of class, day of the week, etc. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
