I had a 1-on-1 training session with Coach Adam. Time and money well spent. He geared the lesson to my ability level and packed a lot of learning into an hour. Note to Google and other users: the location on Google Maps as of this date is INCORRECT. The correct location is actually two blocks away at 19 E. Spring Ave. (corner of Spring and Sheldon Lane).

I am VERY thankful for Adam providing me with an opportunity to do business. Starting my own business, there are very few people that will allow you a "foot-in-the-door!" Adam at Washington Boxing Academy gave me that foot in the door opportunity. Furthermore, he has demonstrated to be a devout family man that pour into the youth. Therefore, Adam will make sure children will get the best learning experience possible.

Love Washington Boxing Academy!! I initially started going here when it was owned and operated by Alden Washington. It is now owned and operated by his son Adam who is equally as amazing as his dad! This small but mighty gym is great for children and adults. Seriously one of the best workouts ever! And it’s FUN! Check it out. You won’t be disappointed.

A treasure, this place and this coach. Adam has all the skills, a growth mindset as a teacher and leader, and he brings out the best in his many students. My daughter, now 16, has attended classes and has been a private student for many years now. She is stronger, more confident, and happier for having worked with Adam and for having spent time with the wonderful community of students and leaders at the WBA. Highly recommended!

Our family took a class with Coach Adam this past summer. As we left, our daughter asked to continue taking classes. Nine months later, she boxes 3x a week (and is truly upset if she has to miss a class). She has not only learned important self defense skills, but also important life lessons about focus and perseverance. It is evident that Coach Adam is truly passionate. Great place!
