My go to gym, all of the staff/trainers are very friendly and knowledgeable. Can’t imagine going anywhere else.

I did not know what to expect when I bailed on my yoga membership and signed up for a three day trial at American Gym Boxing. I showed up so nervous and was immediately treated with respect, smiles and kindness. I ended up going nearly 6 days a week just because I loved it so much. I never had so much fun working out! Plus it was the first kind of workout I ever did where my focus wasn’t on losing weight and changing myself but really about strength and self acceptance. I overcame a lot at this gym and I am so lucky I came across it. Unfortunately I moved to Australia so I had to stop going, but I won’t even try boxing here because I’m so attached to this place! It’s an old fashioned boxing style gym with a modern feel and super kind people!!!

This is by far my favorite gym that I’ve been a member of. Has all the equipment you need plus plenty of heavy bags and love the sense of community it fosters. The trainers and coaches are awesome and so helpful. Def recommend!

Brian is a great gym owner and is on top of everything he runs it very well, and all staff members are awesome friendly professional people that make you feel as comfortable as possible. Great gym to be part of from the professional to the weekend worrier! Go check it out and see for yourself ????????????????

Bryan Popejoy

American Gym is a great facility with awesome instructors. Franky Chavez, who runs American Gym's Muay Thai Classes, is a top Muay Thai fighter and coach. Definitely the top MMA and Muay Thai Gym in the Costa Mesa area!

Joe Sandoval

Been coming to American Boxing Gym for about 6 weeks, best decision I’ve made in years! I am already down 15 pounds and coming every day is becoming a habit. I am the type of person that needs direction and to be pushed when working out, the trainers are awesome and will push you through your workout. You just have to get here, they will help you do the rest. The entire staff is very friendly and helpful and the facility is always clean and welcoming. I highly recommend joining here and either changing or enhancing your fitness level.

Ted Cook

Juan is the best boxing coach I've ever had, this place is awesome and has everything you need as far as weights, bags, and trainers, Nick Moghaddam is a great bjj blackbelt trainer here too. And Jason Drexel is a straight lengend, he has spent more time in the ring than anyone in the sport of MMA.

Manuel Mojica

I specifically chose this place over the usual 24hr/LA fitness options because of the value. There are no juice heads or girls with make up taking selfies anywhere. All staff members and people are super friendly and the people that come in do so to get work done. There are classes every day and you also have options to pick up personal lessons and group classes from each individual trainer. I will gladly pay my monthly gym membership knowing I don't have to wait in line for the weights, there are no sales people walking around trying to sell me anything, and to know I can attend as many free classes as I want versus whatever those other gyms charge.

Edwin Mendoza

Amazing gym for boxing and strength training. It is always super clean and the staff is very helpful. Jesus is my boxing coach and I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn from a true professional. He knows how to teach proper technique and he knows when to progress you. Book a session with him ASAP!!!

Erika Reyes

Awesome place!

Atonal Mictlan

It's a sweet place to work out, love it there.

Jade Douglas

Love this gym Drex has been training me during the week and I already lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks! I’m always sore after a session.The staff is amazing especially Jocelyn highly recommend!

Danielle Hobeika

I have been training at American Gym since June 2016 and I love it. Each instructor brings their own approach to the classes, so you get a different workout each time. And the coaches all possess a wealth of knowledge in their respective areas, whether it be boxing or Muay Thai, and most have professional fighting experience. The workouts are suitable for any level -- beginners to advanced. The gym itself has a variety of cardio and weightlifting equipment, as well as an outdoor workout area.

Jocelyne

I love this gym. I am a total beginner and these boxing coaches take their time teaching and now I feel so comfortable. I have tried other gyms and I have to say American Gym is the best by far!

Lyndsay Larson

I love this place

Daniel M

Best gym in the area. Gives great vibes of old school style gym, yet updated for these times. All participants give a great motivating push to others with their positive attitudes.

Nina Papageorge's-Millman

Jason my Son's trainer is WONDERFUL. Love the gym & the training & patience Jason has with my kids.

Justin Furey

I've been doing the boxing classes and I love it! Great gym, great people. Excited to try out some of the other classes as well!

AMP Design

Living on the peninsula its hard to find a good gym for a reasonable price. I tried the 24 Hour at the Triangle which was terrible. This gym is much smaller but closer to home which is cool. Gym etiquette is for real and I love how everybody keeps the equipment clean. They have everything you need to get a good pump, cardio with some flatscreens and if you want to mix up your training with combat you can. Small but worth it if you like to train in peace with little distractions. The busiest times are from 4:30 to 8:30 because of classes but other than that its usually pretty quiet. Brian keeps the place well managed and the staff is always friendly. Weekend hours of operation kinda suck because they close early but that is reasonable, also the towels to clean the equipment should be rotated out more often. I recommend this hidden gem forsure!

Kathryn Jenkins

Best workout center... very clean and energetic

Aisha Ruiz

Love this gym - the people, the environment, and the staff is really friendly and professional. Many classes are offered, too! Brian and Andre are the best - friendly, helpful, and courteous!

Jeff Jones

Adding Jesus Soto Karass to the boxing training staff basically fixed the program. Jesus is legit he beat Andre Berto who was Floyd Mayweather's last real opponent. Around a decade ago it was only Steve Franklin teaching boxing here who is a crazy old man with CTE who was never a legit pro running the program. Steve was a grifter who wouldn't help anyone who didn't pay him for privates, so fighters at the gym taught newer fighters more than the actual lead trainer. Steve never had any discussions with new fighters on how to physically prepare to be in the ring at any point ever or even taught them proper technique without being paid $60 an hour. This is a 5 star boxing program now and a 1 star boxing program when I first attended about a dozen years ago so I'll split the difference at 3 stars. The fact that they let a guy who put his bank account over fighters long term health or this gym being a legit boxing program is unforgivable but after almost every boxer left, the gym owner clearly learned from his mistake so he deserves props for that.

JoAnn French

I am considering joining this gym so I am checking out a couple of the classes here. So far, I've been very impressed with the staff, class trainers, and the facility. Just the bathroom/locker room alone is a big sell. It is stocked with everything one would need to get ready for work after a work out.

Leesha Marin

I just signed up a couple months ago. They have amazing trainers, great classes, & always clean!! I would definitely recommend this gym!!!

Vinay Khurana

I have been training here a year and a half now and this is one of the best facilities ever! Professional Coaches who care and truly teach you proper technique and form while giving you an amazing workout that is challenging and fun at the same time. Best place!

Bob Ignatz

This gym has alot to offer.

Jason Hernandez

Unbelievable experience daily! I've been an athlete my entire life and have developed relationships with a lot of coaches, trainers, ect. throughout. As a competitive athlete/trainer myself it's easy to walk around with a chip on your shoulder, it happens all the time. The well accomplished Athletes/Trainers here at American Gym easily separate their personal endeavors from coaching those willing to learn and improve daily making it a very comfortable experience for everyone. It honestly feels like a second home! Along with the exceptional Personal trainers here you'll find; the membership fees more than reasonable, professional gym management (Brian), and outstanding front desk customer service. Keep up the great work! Jason Hernandez

Daniel Buhrlen

Great no frills spot, awesome trainers. Sweat it out!

Abigail Arnold

All they want is your money, do not trust them! They will give you misleading information to get you to sign up. Gym goer, beware!

Natalie Lauren

I love this place! Insane trainers and amazing staff. Erica makes this place glow and is always taking care of the gym! She makes it clean and puts in a 100% to make it nice for all the clients of the gym! ????????

Hayden Greene

Love American Gym! The owner is always bringing in new equipment and looking for ways to improve the gym. Lots of variety in equipment that you don't get in the commercial gyms. The staff is very friendly and they keep the place clean.

Andrew Joseph

So glad I joined. Totally worth it.
