One of five LA Boxing franchises in the Washington area, this Rockville gym, tucked across the street from Congressional Shopping Plaza, has been open since February of 2009. Two walls of windows make this newer facility feel bright and spacious. It specializes in cardio boxing and kick boxing classes guaranteed to burn 1,000 calories per hour. All LA Boxing instructors are either amateur or professional fighters themselves. In addition to its 35 bags, full-size boxing ring and half-cage, it has jiu-jitsu mats, treadmills, free weights and everything else a regular gym would offer.
