DCBFit

After trying a free class I was hooked! DCBFit is a fantastic place for a fun and challenging workout! Arturo provides professional instruction and the classes are small and intimate. This is the perfect place for anyone to train and get in shape regardless of skill set.

Can I give zero stars? I recently tried to buy a gift certificate for my husband for the holidays but found it very difficult to get in touch with anyone or to find the gym open. Finally when I got a hold of someone on the phone I wasn’t able to get the gift certificate easily over the phone so I offered to come in the next day and buy it in person. I called ahead of time and spoke to someone and told them that I was on my way and should be there in 20 minutes and I was told that that sounded good and to see you soon. When I arrived at the gym they were closed When I called them, Arturo told me that they were out for two hours in the middle of the day at 1:30 and that they would not return. I am not sure what kind of gym closes in the middle of the day for two hours. I ended up deciding not to get my husband a gift certificate for the gym because what if he needs to come to the gym during the times when they’re closed.

It’s a good place to sweat; with a very experienced staff they put a focus towards fitness and having a good time; a great place to learn how to throw a punch and maybe a kick but not to learn how to fight.

I was referred to this gym. I was greeted immediately with a warm offer to join a free trial class. It was an intense, rigorous, much needed class. I enjoyed the class and the motivation given during the class. This gym has actual Muay Thai practitioners at the facility teaching classes. You don’t come across Muay Thai instructors everyday. To find a passionate instructor is something I cherish.
Great Energy! Great Location! Great Workout!

***This review is for its current iteration under new ownership since 2015***
The gym changed ownership in 2015 and I went from going every day to canceling my membership after a month.
The new gym’s focus is NOT fighting– the new owner is a jump roper for __’s sake.
It’s still a rigorous workout, but the trainers are fitness vs. fighting-​focused; there isn’t the same feel of community; and honestly, I find the trainers extremely vulgar without being funny – especially in the way they speak to women.

I gave it a try a few months ago. Not a bad workout at all, but one thing that bothers me are the reviewers talking about how great the fight training is… that part is not true. Good workout, but so is LA boxing. You will burn caloriez, you will get into better shape… you will NOT become a good boxer or MMA fighter. It is important for people to know this.

I love boxing. It feels like its both cardio and strengthening in the same class.
I have done boxing workout for a year until a few months ago. This was in a different state. I recently moved to DC and I was looking for boxing workout classes, and this one is reviewed very good, so I thought I will check it out. The workout only involved two minutes of boxing, and the rest was all core and strengthening exercises. The trainer was trying to motivate anyone. There were so many gaps in between change of exercises. After the class was over, I went to the trainers to ask about pricing, and if there is a specific format for the class etc. The trainers gave very vague answers, and were busy trying to get back to texting on phone or talking to their friends

If you want to take your fitness to the next level, this no BS gym is the place to go. DCBFit provides a fun, humorous, & friendly atmosphere to work out.

Whether looking for the best work out — or wanting to learn the skills of MMA, Boxing and Muay Thai — this is the best place in all the DMV. Jerome has been my trainer for over 5 years, and I have never been in better shape.

An awesome workout and keeps me motivated! Love that this gym is in the neighborhood!

Jerome, Arturo and Mike are the real deal! I’ve been going to this spot since they opened in March of this year, and have been completely satisfied with the knowledge and intensity with which these guys train their clients.
Joining is the best investment I could’ve made for my body. 10 pounds down and good drop in body fat thus far, and just motivated to go more and more. I’ve never been addicted to a gym before or gotten up to be in a workout class as early as 6 a.m. That says a lot about these folks and their product.
No initiation fee… no contract. Just result. Check it out.

DCBFit is like nothing I have ever experienced. I absolutely love this place and cannot speak highly enough about it. I would recommend this workout over any other gym/​trainer/​class/​etc., hands down. Day after day, Jerome and Arturo deliver and offer you the best 45 minute workout you could imagine. Everyday it’s different which keeps it interesting and your muscles engaged. No matter how many people are in class with you, it feels like you are working one on one with your own personal trainer. They work you hard, help you meet your goals, but make it fun and enjoyable too. I have been an avid fitness person my whole life and have tried a variety of sports, teams, workouts, personal trainers and gyms, yet have never felt this fit or healthy before. Thank you Jerome and Arturo!

Like their shirts say, routine is the enemy… but these guys are the farthest from it! A top notch affordable fully-​functional boxing and fitness gym run by an even better knowledgable personable staff; if you want to see results others promise but never seem to deliver on, give dcBFIT a try! You will not be disappointed!!!

These guys really make you sweat. My conspiracy theory: The heat must be on because I am sweating like a hoe in church!
Prices are reasonable. No $ 100+ per month fee like the many CrossFit gyms in DC (trust me… I’ve done every free trial available. Shhh, no snitching). Plus, who can beat a location by the metro & CVS when I forget my Gatorade?
Classes are offered in the morning and evening, as early as like 5am and as late as 7pm. No Sundays (church-​going guys with a mean uppercut? Who knew? :-/​)
And for those of you, like me, that work with Mitches (male b*tches), this gym allows you to take out all that frustration MMA style on the body bag. So go ahead… kick your boss in the head (body bag) with that right round kick. You’ll feel much better in the morning. :-)

My relationship with gyms and sports clubs is like a roving Romeo with a wandering eye. I am not faithful. If the gym gets stale, boring, or complacent, I will cheat. Heyyyy… a girls has gotta do what a girls gotta do. This is how I stumbled upon DCBfit. I was going to my work gym. You know, reliable, sweet, convenient but it hardly got my heartrate up (either literally or figuratively) so I decided to give DCBfit a go.
Just a little background, I’ve done crossfit training, martial arts, and rugby — and this is a beautiful combination of all three. It was fun enough to piqué my interest but what sustains me is the brutishly hard work.
I love the fighters workout — they are very careful about how the workout shapes the muscles. «Making weight» mean that fighters make every muscle count — which means a beautifully lean physique. Crossfit tended to make me a little bulkier than I liked.
Jerome, the head instructor/​coach is wonderful. He takes the time to learn your name and helps everyone feel comfortable right away. I’ve seen all types, ages, and fitness levels at the classes. He makes adjustments so that everyone can join in.
The cost is $ 95/​month for unlimited fitness classes and $ 120 for the fitness classes plus MMA/​Thai Kickboxing classes. The best part is that there is no contract. (Did I mention I was afraid of [gym] commitment?)

If you want a serious workout, this is the place. You’ll learn good fighting technique (muay thai, kickboxing and boxing), while you get one of the most intense workouts possible. Good instruction from actual fighters, cardio and strength training and workouts based on the techniques that fighters use to get in shape. definitely not for those who are afraid to sweat and don’t want to be sore the next day. One of the best things s that the classes are small enough (generally less than 20 with three instructors working with you!) that you can actually learn good technique. This ain’t tae bo!
