Great place to exercise! Kevin and his staff are awesome and always encouraging. Plenty of equipment and class variety so pretty sure everyone can find something that suits their needs. Lots of open gym time and space in case you'd prefer to do your own thing. Way more enjoyable than a traditional gym!

I have been going to Blacksburg Boxing and Fitness for over two years. I have loved every minute of it, the staff is amazing and it’s a great environment to challenge yourself! Before coming here I never boxed before but it’s didn’t matter they will help you every step of the way. It’s been one of my favorite places to go at college!!

Since joining this gym in March, my experience has been amazing. They provide a safe environment and its more like a family. As a newcomer I felt welcome from the beginning and the owners ability to take out time to explain everything made me feel welcome. The energy in this space is amazing and I’ve see awesome results over the past 10 months from attending the Fighter Fit Classes at least twice a week. The trainers are also phenomenal!

BBF is the best gym in the NRV! There are classes for literally anyone and everyone at every skill level. I personally love zumba and low intensity! I’ve seen how much I’ve improved in terms of my health in six months of being a member! Kevin is the bomb!! I love going to a gym that has owners local to the area!! I highly recommend trying it out because you even get the first week free!

Blacksburg Boxing and Fitness is great local gym with great staff! Classes are fun and difficult with a great variety of them offered! They even offer online classes as well which is super convenient.
They modified their indoor space to accommodate social distancing guidelines as well so you can feel safe while working out.
They made a killer outdoor space as well to help accommodate more people's fitness journey, including bags, barbells and more. The winter months make it a little cold to do that though!!
I would definitely recommend joining Blacksburg Boxing and Fitness whether it's online
