London, UK

The BXR Story

BXR is a high-end boxing concept gym that was founded in 2017 by Olia Sardarova, with the backing of celebrity boxer Anthony Joshua. Sardarova had a vision to bring the high-end boxing classes that she had experienced in New York City to London. With Joshua's support, she set out to create a gym that would cater to the city's more discerning fitness enthusiasts.

The first BXR location opened in Marylebone, featuring a Joe and The Juice bar and luxury design, features, and artwork. Sardarova's goal was to create a premium fitness experience that 

BXR's group class concept, Sweat by BXR, was launched as a sub-brand, providing strength and conditioning, yoga and their famous Versaclimber classes. With the success of the Marylebone location, BXR expanded to additional locations in London and one in Doha, Qatar. They have also launched a luxury gym concept to facilitate retreats in Daios Cove, Greece.

The gym's focus on luxury amenities, premium design, and high-quality coaching has made it a go-to destination for fitness enthusiasts in London and beyond.

The Reception Service

Our pre-visit call to the branch provided us with the information we needed, but it was difficult to hear the receptionist at times throughout the call.

In the branch, the reception staff were pleasant, but the experience could have been improved with a stronger effort to engage with us.

We found the class to be an enjoyable and well-structured session. The music and coach’s energy contributed to this, although more individual attention and personalized coaching would have improved the experience.
