Reviews of Golden Glory Fitness and Martial Arts Academy (Gym)

Lorene Mah

For someone who hasn’t been active since having kids (other than chasing them around), Golden Glory was just what I needed to motivate myself! I basically need someone to hold me accountable and push me out of my comfort zone. Sensei Mostafa does that and more! The great energy and community within Golden Glory keeps you going and motivates you to train harder. HUGEEEE stress reliever and so much fun while getting fit! If you are having a hard time getting into a fitness program, this is the one you need!!!

I have known Mostafa for over 5 years. He not only trains and motivates students @academicsprek and @glareaschool he trains our head office team including myself, my children, multiple times a week. His energy is infectious and he has a magic ability to relate with children and adults. He is always smiling and knows just how to wake the champion inside each of us. Golden Glory is not only a kickboxing and martial arts studio, it is a community hub.

Very effective for my child's health, it is very fun and educational and also help her boost her confidence ❤️✔️????????

Alexandra Tamesis

My 4 year old daughter started here at Master Mostafa's Dojo and wow - not play time - but martial arts time, discipline, focus and fun because they are accomplishing growth. She is one of the youngest, but I can only imagine her confidence and focus after a few years of this! I drive a far way to bring her here - and I'll keep doing that. MMA style with a strong Karate and Muay Thai vibration. Some grappling and supportive, good environment. Nothing stabilizes a kid like being in a physical, focused group, supporting each other, learning and developing confidence in their own abilities. I also love that Sensei is nice, warm but very firm. My senseis have been that for me and it was a powerful life lesson in terms of honesty, honour, trust and how to achieve your goals. I recommend this place highly.

Julia Taggart

A fantastic place! Our eldest son went for several years and loved it! Now our younger 2 boys are going. They love it! We highly recommend

Golden Glory is one of the best kickboxing gyms in White Rock! Mustafa is very professional and has taught my partner and I lots of different techniques. The staff is super friendly and extremely motivating!

Manpreet Bal

A very friendly environment. Great people. Love it.

Xiaodan Sheng

I recommend this gym for anyone like me who wants to start kickboxing from scratch. Environment is very friendly to beginners. Fellow colleagues are tough in training but mostly very nice after beating you up:) Master mostafa is full of energy, a real professional and always finds a way to push you to better yourself. I enjoyed going twice a week for now and wishing I could be ready for more trainings.

Navin D

Mostafa is a phenomenal trainer. He’s super funny and very uplifting and he motivates you to push to your hardest. There are so many great things to take away from training with him. Highly recommend!

Sophie Zhang

The instructor is really engaging, and I am addictive to my Kickboxing mornings now. I love the workouts, although I felt that I was going to die during it. I felt so alive afterwards. Really recommend this place!

masoud nayebjafari

Best of the best 100% Honestly, best trainer in canada❤????

TAMMY HART

I have been training with Master Mostafa for almost two years now. First met him when he and his teachers came to my son's birthday party four years ago with almost 40, 6 year old kids to teach and train them at my son's "ninja" party! The kids had a blast and Mostafa and his crew kept them all interested and having fun! I personally now come for private or semi private lessons in the morning twice a week, much too early for my liking but the only time I can find to exercise .. notwithstanding no one else is moving in my house or neighbourhood and the sun has not yet risen, I am happy to get up and go as I look forward to the workout with Mostafa! He keeps the sessions changing and is motivating and encouraging and truly cares about all of his students! He has an amazing ability to connect with young and old alike and get the best out of all of us! Highly recommend Golden Glory for personal or group sessions!

Hayley Scherpenisse

Mostafa really fosters a positive and encouraging environment for students of all ages. He is incredibly talented, and will continuously push for you to be your absolute best. I would 100% recommend Golden Glory to anyone of any skill level.

Claude Cartelier

Amazing gym to learn kickboxing. Great environment, and a world-champ sensei!!

Ary T

I love this place! I always get a good workout while having lots of fun learning important martial arts techniques!

Kelly Elliott Frost

I have been training with Master Mostafa for 1.5 years. In that time not only have I been able to lose over 40lbs, but I have also learned patience, dedication and self confidence. At first I was terrified to try something so out of my comfort zone but Master Mostafa and his students are so helpful, warm, and welcoming that it made the transition into kickboxing supportive, encouraging and most importantly ... reaaaallllyyy fun!

Saman Rad

“If you are looking for the perfect personal trainer…that would be Mostafa Sabeti. Mostafa will provide you with workouts that will give you the results that you are looking for while making your exercise program fun. His workouts incorporate martial arts, strength training, cardio, balance exercises and flexibility in a variety of ways so that they never become boring. His knowledge, professionalism and credentials are so very impressive, but his personal attention and his cheerful, caring manner are unbeatable. His energy and enthusiasm are contagious as he coaches and directs me in doing my exercises properly, and he supports me in meeting my fitness goals. Mostafa is an absolute delight to work with, and I highly recommend him. I know that I could never obtain the same results without his guidance, encouragement and support. Thank you, Mostafa for accompanying me on my journey to become a happier, healthier and stronger person.” W.Bruce

amazing training. great learning environment for beginners and more advanced. a good assortment of equipments as well.

Madison Price

Master Mostafa has made this the best martial arts academy since it's beginning. He is very kind, caring and funny. The classes are motivating and help push your fitness goals. The gym is really nice with good equipment. Would 100% recommend Golden Glory to anyone considering trying kickboxing or looking for a new place.

Natalia Davydova

I am thankful for coach Mostafa! My kids came in knowing very little about kickboxing and started learning from very knowledgeable coach. The Golden Glory Fitness team is very welcoming and friendly, and you will get pushed to your limits! Best kickboxing academy we’ve been to!

Roy Jiang

It doesn't matter if you're looking to get into fitness or learn self-defence, this place does it right. The trainers are encouraging, accommodating, humble, and inspiring. You get out what you put in, and maybe a little bit more, even. It's a place for everyone!

Shibani Ramtri

Excellent place for learning kickboxing! In a short time, I can see a difference not just in my kids energy levels, but his confidence as well.

Serge Orly

Golden Glory has been a great thing for my son. Instructors are professional and interact very well with kids of all ages. Master Mostafa is very knowledgeable and have a great ability to bring out the best and COVID-safest classes to all levels of students.

Asieh Farhadi

Well kept facility and great coaching from Coach Mostafa. Everyone has a good attitude and I plan to continue training there for as long as I am able. Highly recommend :)????????????

David & Tanis Jorge

A great workout that is challenging no matter your fitness level, varied so you don't get bored, and FUN! Master Mostafa has trained my kids for over 2.5 years (from ages 4 and 6) and myself for over a year. In that time I've lost over 20 lbs and feel so much more strong and confident! I actually look forward to the classes too, which is something I never felt before with any other workout. I've also met some really great people who make it even that much more enjoyable to train and stay accountable. For my boys, Mostafa knows how to balance fun and discipline, teaching skills that give them confidence, while challenging them to grow. I can't recommend Golden Glory enough for everyone in your family :)

jack lam

My son just recently join in for the class. Mostafa is a great and awesome teacher I would highly recommended anyone who like to join the class. NO. 1 in South Surrey. ..

G G

I' ve been attending classes for a month now and I’m so happy I started boxing fitness! It’s such a great workout! The staff is so friendly and it feels like a big family. Highly recommend ！

Ms Calendino

Without hesitation I recommend Golden Glory Fitness and Martial Arts Academy! Sensei Mostafa Sabeti is friendly, personable, enthusiastic, honest and extremely knowledgeable. More importantly, Sensei cares about the well-being and safety of his students and takes their current physical abilities into consideration when training them. I suffer from a chronic disease and debilitating joint pain, and I am still able to train, with guidance and modifications Sensei has implemented. I am so grateful he encouraged me to train alongside my nephew instead of watching from the sidelines. At 48 years old I am learning a new skill, getting into shape and best of all ENJOYING MYSELF! It doesn’t feel like exercise because it’s so much fun! Sensei is an inspiration, overcoming an injury to become a champion again at the age of 37. He helps students stay focused so that they can achieve their goals. Joining Golden Glory Fitness and Martial Arts Academy is the best thing I have done for my health and well-being! To quote Sensei “Never give up!”

Na To

Had a pleasure to visit both Boxing and Kickboxing sessions at Golden Glory Academy. Loved the atmosphere and coaching style. I was part of the groups sessions, but I believe they offer some personal training as well (If you want to become Chuck Norris). Highly recommend it to everybody who lives in Surrey/ White Rock area.

Play And Pause Production

Best club to learn martial arts, so professional and caring, highly recommended.

Taran mann

I have been training with Master Mostafa for 2 years now, for the purpose of helping me with my sports goals. Over that time his training has made tremendous improvements in regards to my self-confidence and fitness, and for that I have only him to thank. If you want to make massive changes to your fitness with a dedicated and motivated instructor, this is the place to come.

Edward Keshavarzi

In Golden Glory you'll expect an absolutely amazing coach who has been formerly the world champion. He knows what you need and makes a plan accordingly. No matter what sport sport you are doing he will help you to have stronger muscles and an awesome preparedness for whatever physical activity you are dealing with. Also, the hard work and seriousness wouldn't have been fun if it wasn't for the friendly environment and amazing attendees who are always welcoming and kind. Give it a try and enjoy being trained by Mustafa

Paul Murphy

Continue to have an amazing experience at Golden Glory, Mostafa is an excellent trainer and get the best out of you every session.

Nick Balenzano

Best place for a workout in town! Both my kids and I work out here and Mostafa is one if the best Sensei around. He keeps the kids engaged and moving the entire time and the rest of his staff is awesome. He is a world class martial arts teacher and creates a friendly environment where everyone can push themselves to the limit. I would definitely recommend Golden Glory to anyone if you’re looking for a family friendly or one on one personal training.

Abel Pan

This is a great place for getting fit. I was introduce to this gym by my daughter about 2 years ago, with the help of knowledgeable instructors and supportive peers, the kickboxing classes helps me on my person fitness mission. Since starting kickboxing, along with changes to my diet, I have lost about 40 pounds and my core strength and mobility have improved a lot. Master Mostafa and Master Dave are very knowledgeable instructors. They spend a lot time with each person pointing out what is great and what needs improvement. You feel no judgement but a lot of support and praise from them. The peers are also very supportive. they always offer tips and advises to help you improve and cheer for you when you exhausted near the end of 2-minute bag work . You can easily feel comfortable in this environment and a good place to start your fitness journey. Judging from my personal results, it's also very effective. This is also a good place for youth to build up leadership. Young adults, after years of training, often have the chance lead the warm-up and demonstrate combinations. The self-confidence and leadership demonstrated are very impressive. It's a great place to be in for training and for making friends.

Mahsa Soraya

My both children got their black belt with sensei Mustafa. We could not ask for a better instructor. Highly recommend .

Jennifer Rowse

I met the owner of this gym as I bought equipment off him. I live in Abbotsford but if I lived closer, I would 100% join/support this man and his gym. He is such a respectable guy. Completely outstanding human, you'd be so lucky to work with and be taught by him.

Bushra Ahsan

My son loves coming here for his kickboxing. It's a great workout and perfect outlet to blow some steam for energetic kids. Sunsei Mustafa is so amazing with all the kids, he gives full time and attention to each one. Highly recommended!

Charlie Knutson

great training and good workout as well

Siddharth Sharma

When you train here, you are learning from the best. They give you extra attention when you are just starting out to make sure you understand the technique. Sensei Mostafa, even with being the world champion, is very humble and welcomes you to the family with open arms. I highly recommend trying out their free trial and I guarantee you will fall in love with the place and the people.

Joseph Piccolo

Sensai Mostafa is truly a martial arts master. He provides a fun learning environment and is patient and kind to all his students. I have trained with Mostafa for almost a year now and just recently won GOLD for my division at the Western Canadian Martial Arts Championships. He has helped me reach my goals and build my self confidence.

Rebecca Hein

Golden Glory Martial Arts is a well equipped facility with expert training to match. Whether you want an excellent work out or to work towards a black belt this place is incredible for the entire family, women, men and kids. Mustafa is warm yet motivates you to push yourself. Do not be intimidated by all medals and some of the elites that train at Golden Glory everyone feels welcome and Mustafa creates a workout suited to your physical ability. Our entire family will be training here for a long time!

Ariel Akyuz

Amazing way to get a good workout, along with great quality equipment! Wonderful place.

Andrey Aflyatunov

Great gym! I like two classes that go one after another. The first one is mostly on cardio and second is more advanced and designed for practicing kickboxing techniques. You can go on both of them if you have enough fuel left after first one ;) Plus this place is perfect for families. I like seeing parents attending adult classes while kids workout on kids’ classes. Master Mostafa is friendly and knowledgeable and definitely teaches you to do proper killing kicks :)

Joshua Regan (Joshua)

Quality Training Facility! Mostafa is an Awesome guy, Great Teacher and Skilled Martial Artist. I appreciate the Family Atmosphere, Skill Development and Overall Good Vibe! Highly Recommended for Anyone of Any Age or Skill Level.

Mostafa is an amazing master of kickboxing. We started with a fitness goal but fall in love with the martial arts. Our kindergartener also loves to practice with us. Mostafa made his gym like a big family.

Samir Raza

Golden Glory is a fantastic gym! The staff is super friendly and extremely motivating and they will push you hard and get the results you want. The facility is very large and spacious. Lots of room for fitness and boxing, and also have a very good selection of machines for strength training as well as more than enough free weights as well as a squat/bench rack.

Soltan BC

The owner and trainer here is the nicest most professional I've ever seen at a gym. I'm learning self defense and working out at the same time with my family. Thank you

Kevin O'Sullivan

Golden Glory is an excellent gym. Good equipment, great students and an even better instructor. Master Mostafa has been motivating and encouraging. I’ve managed to lose some weight, and get my cardio and overall fitness up. Most importantly, I love going to class.

Avinash Bhattal

My kids go running to each class! Mostafa makes them feel so special and inspired:) He teaches them discipline and working hard each class to achieve their goals! They have learnt so much in a few months and are so motivated to get a new stripe on their belt and the whole class claps each time they get their stripe and makes the kids feel so special:) Absolutely love it! Best is classes are running all summer!

Behrad Sadoughian

Just to say: recommended by all means!

Saeed Mirmotalebi

Our whole family has been attending this studio for a long time now. We all very much enjoy the training and feeling of the dojo. Master Mostafa is a professional who constantly puts his students first. The dojo is family friendly and is a great experience for people ranging from every age.

Jennifer Melwicks

Master Mostafa is a well known and respected Martial Arts teacher in the Surrey, BC area. His achievements include numerous World Championship Titles making him a very competent and effective teacher in the World of Martial Arts. Mostafa takes time with each of his students from young people to more mature levels, so they learn techniques, discipline and the philosophy behind Martial arts. Having Mostafa as your personal trainer, will bring you nothing but positive results in a very quick turnaround time. Call him today…..

Elena Karginm

I truly recommend this place, owned by wonderful people. Great school to bring your kids in. All teachers are amazing, they all making sure that every student will progress and develop their skills and capabilities to the max. My daughter started taking classes when she just turned 3 years old, after 10 months of training I can't believe how much she progressed and learned about martial arts,discipline, focus, confidence, strength, control in herself, it helped her to overcome a lot of personal fears she had before.

Alex Melnichuk

Great place to get into REAL shape! Bring your kids here too. I have noticed a difference in strength just after a couple of weeks of training. If you need a challenge, this is the place with a notch coach!

Mustafa is incredible! A martial artist through and through. Classes are great and accomodate all ages and skill levels. Keep up the good work!

Tia Ball

Mostafa and Solmaz are both very skilled and knowledgable instructors who provide a challenging and fun workout! I've participated in their group sessions as well as enrolled my 3.5 year old in their preschool program. My son was shy and hesitant but Mostafa and Solmaz were both so encouraging, he has now been excited and confident about going to class and proud to show off what he's learned. I would absolutely recommend Golden Glory if you're looking to build on your strength, confidence, or overall fitness and health in a fun, upbeat, and encouraging atmosphere.

Great facility. Awesome trainers. Mustafa is great

ryan whyte

Golden Glory is about more than just Kick Boxing... it is about bettering your physical fitness and mental focus. Mostafa is fantastic. He knows how to push you to make you stronger and better. I can't tell you how much I enjoy training with him... he is a true master.

Brandon Bassi

Highly Recommend to anybody trying to reach there fitness goals. Mustafa is a great instructor who truly cares for his students.

drew fernandes

As a 63 year old I decided to change up my fitness routine and walked into the Golden Glory martial arts academy 18 moths ago. It was transformative and the best decision I made. I only wish I had done it 10 or 20 years before. The focus and personal attention to my needs has helped me over come prior sport and training injuries and has allowed me to stay very fit and functional for a man of my age. I lost weight, got stronger, rehabbed injuries, feel younger and now a have a set of martial art skills I never had before. I highly recommend Sensei Mostafa Sabeti and his Golden Glory Martial Arts Academy.

afifa a

We have a thirteen old daughter and a seven years old son. We had been looking for a suitable martial arts class for them. We went to two different places but found the class sizes to be very large and both centers were over crowded. We finally came to Master Mostafa and he created an individualized plan for our kids and also their friends who wanted to join. Now we have a class size of about 10 and all the kids love it!! They look forward to going to their lessons and they get a great work out and learn martial arts skills. Highly recommended!

April Facey

Best place ever - My son and husband have been going to Golden Glory Fitness for years now - it's been such an amazing experience for them that I figured I'd get motivated and start to work out again. I've been doing private sessions with Mostafa and I absolutely love it - he's thorough, pushes me the right amount, and motivates me to be better! The workouts are fantastic! I highly recommend joining with your family - something great to do together!

Nav Maharaj

I recently moved my PT sessions to White Rock with Mostafa at Golden Glory Fitness. I have been training at a very exclusive gym in downtown Vancouver for the last 20 yrs and i must say that i should have moved to Mostafa a very long time ago. Mostafa is very knowledgeable about all methods of training, definitely the boxing aspects of his style makes the training much more fun and without the daily grind of boring cardio exercises. I have had issues for the last four years with my feet and my ability to run/jog and with the training with Mostafa all these issues have gone away and i am now able to jog in excess of 7km with no health issues - This is a major breakthrough for me and thank you to Mostafa !! He has put me in the best shape of my life in a short 90 day period and we now have goals to achieve even better results together as a team I must say that training with Mostafa is something that i look froward to three times per week. He is so personable, caring and absolutely interested in doing his absolute best for his clients. I strongly endorse and recommend his gym and Mostafa Nav White Rock.

Jas Kalsi

Golden Glory has highly knowledgeable and extremely motivated instructors and the people are awesome to hang around with. I have trained there for over 3 years and have received the best training and coaching. Highly recommended.

Mustfa is one of the best trainer. I have tried lot of gyms but never seen much results . I joined Golden Glory about year ago. I have lost 25 lbs and feel great.

Rob B.

Excellent. Highly skilled sensei but able to balance skill/technique, exercise, and fun to make sure that it is a productive and welcoming environment for everyone! I've been going for 3 years already and love it!

Khristine rawlings

Golden Glory Martial Arts is the best place to train whether you are a recreational martial artist or a serious one. Master Mostafa Sabeti is an excellent trainer. Definitely one of the top in the business. Our son has been training with Mostafa for just over a year now and he has had multiple tournament wins, including a bronze medal at worlds for Kickboxing.

Mosthafa is the best and most passionate trainer. My family has been training with him for years and as i have been training with him this year he has not only made huge positive change in my lifestyle yet been very accomodating to ensure that I enjoy my workouts.

Sonia Mann

My son was introduced to Master Mostafa at age 7. He's now almost 14, and still attending Golden Glory. My daughter joined him @ about the same age, now almost 10, & loving it. This sport has not only given them confidence, strength, stamina, etc, but has also really helped them with other sports they play. We heard about Master Mostafa through our nephew, Eric Basran, an amazing Canadian boxer, & his family. So glad we joined. He emphasizes the importance of being focused, confident, hardworking & determined in achieving your goals & dreams & has addressed in his kids classes, ways to deal with bullying. I to have now joined in his kickboxing & cross training classes. I was reluctant @ first due to my health challenges, but a positive push from Mostafa & a friend already attending, I joined this community of fun, positive, motivating individuals. It was the best thing I ever did for myself. I am in better shape then I have been in the last 10 years. I realize there are no limits, and have new found confidence! It has been great being able to show my kids that like myself, they can rise from any difficult challenge. He likes to change up his workouts, allowing you to never plateau, only grow. He stays true to his classic line, "Never give up!"

Kristin Catroppa

Sensei Mostafa and his team are amazing! Highly recommend, intense workouts starting at any skill level and age group all three of my kids also love it!

James M

Sensai Mostafa is a great instructor. Every class is a challenge. Great place for martial arts and your fitness goals.

Vahid Yakhdani

I have been to see Mostafa for a few years and he is awesome and would recommend him to all my friends and family!

LL FL

Mostafa is a professional athlete. He is very patient with his students and helps them individually. Our whole family have training with him and we will keep going.

gurman singh

Great place to get in shape and Mostafa will help break any ceiling you thought you had. He really knows how to push you the right way. Would recommend for anyone regardless of skills or athletic level!!!

Tanya Miller

I have had the pleasure of training with Master Mostafa at Golden Glory Fitness and Martial Arts for the past eight years. I started at Golden Glory because I wanted to break the boredom of my gym routine - and Master Mostafa's classes did just that! His classes offer the perfect mix of aerobic, power, strength, flexibility and martial arts training. Master Mostafa provides the support and motivation needed to become your personal best and he will celebrate your successes with you along the way. I have attended classes through several injuries and Master Mostafa is always ready to adapt the workouts to my needs, so that I may continue to exercise safely. His extensive knowledge and experience of martial arts and fitness guarantees that you are getting the best training. Master Mostafa is dedicated to creating a welcoming environment for people of all ages and levels. You will always be greeted with a big smile and are guaranteed to have a fun yet challenging workout. During the past few months of the COVID crisis, Master Mostafa has offered free online Zoom training to members and non-members alike. This is a great example of Master Mostafa's commitment to the community and clearly shows his passion for the health and well being of others. Golden Glory is the best Martial Arts and Fitness Academy that I have ever trained at! Thank you Master Mostafa... OSS! Tanya Miller

Kaylyn Ryan (ignorelist)

I casually mentioned to my friend/colleague about eventually joining a kickboxing class and he suggested Golden Glory as his son trains with Master Mostafa Sabeti. With a little encouragement, I dropped by and wished that I started much sooner. Mostafa is a very motivational man - cares for his students and pushes you to your full potential. This place isn't just a gym to sweat in either. You gain interpersonal development skills as well.

Amandeep Sanghera

I joined golden glory 4 months ago and have been extremely satisfied in my experience thus far. It has helped me achieve my fitness goals and also given me the confidence to pursue more challenges. Mostafa is a very kind and knowledgeable sensei who helps you pursue your goals. I would highly recommend golden glory!!!

Erik Kavanagh

Love attending the Monday, Wednesday and Friday kickboxing classes. Great people, fun atmosphere and professional training! Beach season is here people!

Katharine Longfield

Master Mostafa is not only a highly skilled trainer and kick-boxer, he is also an extremely warm and humble human being. He welcomes everyone with a smile and he is genuinely happy to see you. His studio is a safe and encouraging environment to be a part of. My son (8 yrs old) recently joined Golden Glory and I’ve already noticed improvements in his strength and confidence. Mostafa was very accommodating and allowed us to create our own small private group sessions with 4 other boys so we were able to keep our “bubble” small during these Covid times. Mostafa is extremely diligent about keeping the studio very clean. There are multiple hand sanitizers throughout the space and separate doors to come and go from. If you’re looking for a safe family friendly environment to be a part of and get into shape I highly recommend giving Golden Glory a try ????

Gurnate Gill

The best place to get in shape. Mustafah is the best teacher around. He loves his work and is passionate about what he does. Great atmosphere and would highly recommend coming here!!!

lachlan wainman

Golden Glory Fitness is a great place to train at. Master Mostafa is an amazing coach.

Sonia B

Sensei Mostafa is the best personal trainer for strength, conditioning and kickboxing. My son is 13 and he loves the workout and always looks forward to train. He is seeing so many improvements week by week in his fitness and self confidence. Sensei knows how to bring out the best in each individual he trains, he is patient, understanding and above all really cares about health and fitness. He is an outstanding mentor and role model. I highly recommend Golden Glory kickboxing!

Hazel Sahota

I can’t say enough positive things about this gym. Mostafa has truly created a motivating, supportive fitness environment where even a beginner like me has felt strong, confident and empowered to learn such an intimidating sport. Extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the sport… the coaches are driven and will motivate you to achieve your goals. Thank you for everything you do!

Ernur Eleu

One of the best martial art gyms in town. Sensei Mostafa is great!

Mickey Chahal

Very professional and knowledgeable trainers. Highly recommend this place if you are a beginner or looking for advanced training.

Tanya Fuller

An amazing full-body workout! Every workout is completely different, so you are always being challenged physically as well as mentally. It is a great confidence booster!!!

Corrado Lenzi

This has been amazing for our two boys. The space is super clean and all machines are brand new. Master Mostafa really encourages the kids through the sessions. My kids love coming. Ive seen a massive improvement in their strength and confidence in the 3 months we have attended. Also, he provided smaller group sessions which made us feel very safe through this pandemic.

Shahab Mohseni

I’ve been going to the gym and all sorts of workouts for a long time, but never have I felt more inspired and motivated in my entire life. Not only Mustafa and Solmaz show the highest level of professionalism and skill, but they care for everyone individually and as a family. Having an invigorating and challenging atmosphere not only made my physical health better, it has positively affected all my aspect of life.

Farhan Haq

Master Mostafa is very kind, compassionate and patient, especially with young kids which is a bonus. The facility is very nice and clean. Our kids used to be nervous at first but now can't wait to go there for training classes twice a week.

Great atmosphere with the dojo, great and always new training going on with Master Mostafa, total body workout. Be ready to be challenged and learn some real kickboxing from a pro. You will meet some good people as well. Good for all ages and families as my 16 year old son goes as well.

Mostafa is Amazing! Literally the nicest guy you’ll meet. And he’s got this crazy intense side that if you press for it, he will push you as hard as you think you can handle. There are very few highly decorated sensei’s who can work well with kids and ladies and also the boys who want to push as hard as they can. After Some days at the office, it’s nice just to go hit something as hard as you can. Best workout in White Rock bar none. And you are learning while you are working out, so time flies by.

Golden Glory is more than a gym! It is the most fun workout class I have attended. Best classes ever! Recommend them to anyone looking for a great place for a hard and intense workout and to be surrounded by fun and positive people. The coaches are very friendly and treat you progressively like family. They help you at all times to reach your goals! And work with you and persistently provoking you to accomplish more, try harder and to be your best. You will leave feeling good about yourself and your workout. Recommend them to anyone who is looking for better workout routine. :)

This is the most amazing gym in the world. I’ve been going here for around two years now. When I started I was lazy, over weight, and truly unmotivated to change my state. In those two years Master Mostafa has changed my life around. I’m now in tip top shape having lost 50 pounds in the past three months. This gym has an amazing environment and has changed my life. Master Mostafa is an incredibly skilled fighter and mentor. Whether it be for fitness or skill, he will push you when you need it the most. I will never leave this gym.

Shain Brooks

I have been training here at golden glory for many years and can only say great things. Getting my black belt was a huge accomplishment for me and I couldn’t imagine getting it any where else. It’s always fun and Mostafa is always pushing us all to be better and strive to achieve great things. So thankful for goldenglory.

I highly recommend Golden Glory Fitness Centre. Master Mostafa makes workouts fun and adaptable to all fitness levels. If you have a fitness goal, he will be sure to help you achieve it!

Rajni Shanghera

Golden glory was amazing for my children. All the teacher are attentive and invested in the kids. You can really tell they believe in what they teach. Since attending my kids have gained so much confidence.

Master Mostafa has truly been on of the biggest influences and role models in my life. I started training with him at age 8, and still am 12 years later. How could anyone stop training when he cares so genuinely about your health and fitness? He works you hard and focuses on YOUR goals and needs, and physical short comings are never a problem. Thank You Mostafa for being a wonderful teacher and friend for all these years. You've made me the confident, strong woman I am today.

Jay Jay

It's starts at the top and Mostafa provides a warm and welcoming environment for my kids to train at. Discipline and respect are key focuses along with fitness and technique. All of the staff are great with the kids and the flexible schedule is very helpful.

Matthew Seguin

Fun and intense training in a family-friendly atmosphere! A great place for kids and their families to burn some energy, learn martial arts skills and boost their confidence. OSSSSSS!!!

Jezreel Wilmot

I have been training here for years. Very motivating place for all levels of experience from first time or experienced fighters. And the people that trainhere as well are also very positive

M. Chung

Having chosen kickboxing as a new personal goal this year, I called several martial arts schools. The first person to pick up was Sifu Mostafa who invited me to a tryout session which was very positive. So I signed up for some personal training sessions. Only AFTER did I find out when browsing the Golden Glory website that I would be training with an International Kickboxing Champion with a 5th degree black belt and numerous awards and titles to his name! Had I known that before going in, I would have never shown up! But the person who spoke to me was very approachable and a good listener. Now, after 4 sessions, I fully appreciate the humility of Sifu Mostafa who can bring himself down to the level of his students in order to raise them up by being encouraging and tough at the same time. The mark of a true teacher who inspires me with stories of adversity overcome by perseverance. As a true beginner in kickboxing, I feel safe training with Sifu and I feel I can achieve this personal goal because I believe in the first lesson he taught me: the limitations we set ourselves are in our mind, we can change that perspective and we can achieve anything at any age.

Nathan Parlee

If you are looking for a full body workout and fun while doing it, check out Golden Glory. Our family is all things soccer and we were looking for a complimentary sport for cross-training for our son. Kickboxing has provided that extended fitness but also built a ton of confidence at the same time. Master Mostafa Sabeti has a great approach with kids and parents alike and instinctively knows when to push you to the limit and when to allow rest. I've enjoyed watching my son's classes so much, I've now become a member!

Varga P

Amazing experience here at Golden Glory. I want to thank Master Mostafa! Highly skilled!

Pravleen Sodhi-Atwal

My kids started at Golden Glory approximately 3 years ago. They have learnt and continue to learn the art of kickboxing, grappling and overall fitness workouts. As a Mom, I have seen growth in their self-confidence, adaptability and courage in other aspects of life. Master Mostafa makes it a fun yet disciplined environment. He covers relevant issues with the kids such as bullying and respect and gives them tools to deal with different situations. I also joined in the adult kickboxing and fit factor classes. I was initially intimidated to start but once I went to a class and saw how warm and encouraging the atmosphere was, I'm glad I took that step. Hands down, the best workouts I've ever had and it's refreshing to know each class is different, you'll never get bored.

Great place run by great people. My son loves going and is learning alot from all the instructors. Definitely recommend for any parent.

Sukirat Singh

Excellent place for kickboxing. Super friendly environment and very welcoming to new comers and experienced fighters.

Seyar Najib

Great facilities, a family friendly atmosphere and amazing coaching -focusing on skills, strength and accountability. Joining was the best decision I've made in a long time. Master mostafa is highly professional and a great coach and mentor. Love the gym atmosphere, intense workout and friendly team mates. Highly recommend this place.

Jas Khela

Been going here for few years. Mustfa is a great instructor. My whole family been training with with him. I have lost 25 lbs and feel great. I would recommend this place for everyone.

jagbir kaur

Excellent workout for any age. I took my nephew here and I am very happy with the results and the effect on his mentality. They teach a lot of important lessons about self defense, respect and discipline which I feel are invaluable. 10/10 would recommend

Jon Groenheyde

Mustafa is incredibly knowledgeable and equally as kind. As 27 year old male with no fight experience or training he made me feel extremely comfortable learning something so foreign. It can be intimidating coming to any kind of mixed martial arts gym especially as a beginner, however Golden Glory fitness and martial arts is very welcoming to all ages and levels. They have shown me nothing but respect and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here.

Vesna Petrovic

My boys have been training with Sensei Mostafa for 4 years. It has taught them discipline, confidence, self-control, and perseverance. You could not ask for a better Sensei who truly cares about the kids success in the gym and in life! Highly recommend to anybody.

Dan Hare

Really appreciate the excellent training from a skilled instructor, Mostafa and those he has trained. Very family friendly gym and challenging for those who want to improve their skill. Thank you.

Karen Dosanjh

As we moved into Phase 2 of COVID-19, we were looking for ways to broaden our boys' bubble safely and at the same time get them back on a structured fitness program. Mostafa's Golden Glory Martial Arts Academy was the perfect choice as something the boys could do with their friends from only 2 other households. Safety is of the upmost concern and they have the gym to themselves when they train. They also love seeing their friends again and Mostafa's energetic and uplifting style is exactly what they needed as motivation. They are getting back into great shape - mind, body and soul and are training 2 days a week. I see that they are excited to go the sessions and come back feeling great. COVID was a big change for youth and programs like these keep kids confidence and spirits up in countless ways. Thank you Mostafa for working with our boys and getting them out of the isolating feeling that we were all in. So happy we did this for them!

Scott Tomkulak

I have been going here for close to 7 years now, and it's been great the whole time. Master Mostafa is amazingly skilled as both a fighter and a coach, and is always improving. He knows when you need pushing or when you need encouragement. He always helps you strive for your best, so whether you go for fitness or skill, this place is a perfect fit. I have seen people of all shapes, ages, sizes, and skill levels have a great time in this place, getting a great workout, and learning valuable skills. I will never stop going here.

Steve W.

Golden Glory is best place to train martial arts. Even if you are looking to cut some weight/lean out, Mustafa and team have got you covered. Was able to get the results I wanted faster then I thought possible. Definitely check this place out and you wont regret it!

Suman Mann

Golden Glory is the best kickboxing place around. My girls are very happy here and have shown lots of progress in a very short time. The instructors are patient, friendly and encouraging with kids. Very positive atmosphere. I found this place to be great for mental and physical development and confidence. I appreciate the emphasis on respect and self discipline instilled by Master Mostafa. I would highly recommend Golden Glory for all ages and levels.

brit singh

Its been almost 3 months going to Golden Glory fitness. It all started with our child joining the kick boxing. Every time we went there, we felt the place was full of energy and enthusiasm and that got us to join and now we practice as a family. This is great facility to learn kick boxing and to be physically fit for all ages. All the Instructors are really good at what they teach. Master Mostafa is a great person and instructor. He keeps on encouraging and motivating. His adult fitness class are awesome, as he keeps on introducing new different exercises which makes it fun. With his high intensity workout regime, you can feel the burn even after 3-4 hours. I highly recommend Golden Glory Fitness.

Harkirat Singh

Sensai Mostafa is professional and knowledgeable. The gym is clean and regularly sanitized. If you want to train in capacity, this is the place for it.

G Su

Great place. Good workout. My son enjoys going there. Good teacher to student ratio. Encouraging teachers.

Terry Uppal

This place is excellent for training, discipline, and self confidence for kids. Our son has been apart of Golden Glory since he was 3 years old and grown to be a much better athlete in all sports thanks to the commitment of his trainers in particular Master Mostafa. I strongly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great place to get in shape. During this time (Covid 19) where health and wellness is upfront and center we have found a way to continue training with a group of 4-6 kids (bubble training). I continue to be impressed with how well this establishment is run and the commitment each participant receives from the instructors. Whether its your first time or you want to find a safe way to train with a small group, give Mastor Mostafa a call, you will be glad you did!

James Horne

I started working out at Golden Glory after taking my 11 year old son to lessons. He enjoyed it and Master Mostafa encouraged me to come out to the adult training sessions. The whole experience has been fantastic. We feel so lucky to be training with a world champion kickboxer and a Canadian national coach right here in South Surrey. Since working out regularly at Mostafa's classes I have lost 20 lbs and gained alot of muscle. I have so much more energy during the day and feel strong and healthy. Mostafa is so friendly and encouraging while pushing us to work as hard as we can. Mostafa is a national and local treasure. I would encourage anyone interested to come out and try his classes for a week and you'll see how fun it can be to get back into shape. James Horne

Daniela Fisher

We have known Master Mostafa since his very first small gym he started in Canada. He is a very gifted / loving human being that we are so honoured to have in our lives. His business has grown so much because he works so hard, and he appreciates and value his community and families. Golden Glory is a positive, safe, exciting environment for working out and feeling good! Mostafa is amazing with children and adults and a true inspiration at all levels!

jordan routtenberg

Amazing place! You’ll learn lots and get a great exercise while doing so. The owner, Mustafa, is the best teacher you could ask for and is very knowledgeable in martial arts and never fails to give participants an exciting and worth while class. I’ve been here for 3 three years and couldn’t recommend it more!

Shabnam Moradi

We have been going to Golden Golden Martial Arts Academy for few years, myself including my two boys are enjoying Sensei Mostafa instructions and unbelievable support, he is very knowledgeable and so kind with the kids, also his wife Sensei Solmaz is an amazing Instructor ,she always brings joy and passion to our kids classes, if you are looking for a family place to have fun and productive work out , definitely we recommend Golden Glory Martial Arts Academy.

Zhexi Zeng

Best martial art program we can ever dream for. Both my children and myself train there. We love the facility, the instructors, the program, and the peers. Master Mostafa is a world champion, and he brings to every class, his passion for martial art, his belief in discipline and respect. This deeply influences every pupil. We have seen huge improvement in our children in regards to self-confidence, fitness, and concentration. I would highly recommend this place without reservation to any one looking for an athletic activity!

Shawn Korrani

It is with great pleasure to write this review to Sensei Mostafa and Master Solmaz, they trained my whole family for almost 4 years. They've helped develop a new attitude in us. Along with more confidence and drive to stay healthy, The expertise and guidance he and she provided through our strength training sessions have been amazing. I highly recommend everyone at least try this wonderful family's Gym and experience a new lifestyle.

Pinky Choudhary

My daughter Navlyn is here from a year and she improves her skills day by day She loves it

Rob Sturgess

Its not very often you meet someone who inspires you to set goals, work hard and stay focused while in such a positive and fun environment. Mostafa is more than an self defense instructor, he is a motivator and a life coach with a focus on respect, discipline and self control. I highly recommend sensei Mostafa for all ages. I have never been in better shape and I'm over 65!

Simon Rudd

Really love Golden Glory and the training is first rate. Mostafa and his team are friendly and knowledgeable and I've enjoyed working on my mixed martial arts abilities here. Highly recommend.

michael gulliver

Been going there for 3+ years, still love the adult classes.

leo wang

Master Mostafa creates an individual learning plan for every student, from those who come to have fun to those who come to practice for self-defence and competitions. if you come to practice for self defence then he will be hard on you to make you achieve your goals and he is not afraid to bruise you up in the process although he does not do that just to make a point but he does that because it simulates what will happen in real life so as to make it the most effective and useful to you.

Klaus Vonderschmidt

My family and I have trained with Master Mostafa for almost 5 years. He is unbelievably motivating. He pushes you to your full potential. I would recommend him to anyone young or old, for fitness of to fight. this is not some McDojo!

Erin Clark

Can't say enough about Golden Glory Fitness and Martial Arts Academy. Our girls have grown in skills and confidence under the leadership of Mostafa. He is warm and friendly while at the same time teaching discipline, skill and focus. I have been impressed with the adaptation of the academy amidst covid restrictions. These classes remain the highlight of our kids week.

Nicole

Master Mostafa’s classes offer a great workout while teaching self defence and discipline. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an intense but fun training with great people to encourage you along the way!

Alessandra Piccolo

At Golden Glory Martial Arts, Sensei Mostafa trains and motivates his students to be the best they can be! His facility is clean, bright and has covid safe practices. I highly recommend Golden Glory Martial Arts for anyone wanting to start or improve their fitness journey as Sensei Mostafa skillfully accommodates all fitness levels!

S S

Mostafa is the best trainer you could ask for!! He has been training me for years on and off. Due to an injury I have been unable to be consistent, yet he welcomes me with open arms and is more than accommodating to cater to my needs. He has become more than just a trainer.. he is a mentor, a friend, and one of the most genuine people you could ask for guidance in areas you lack or want to be stronger. He strives to get the best out of every one of his students regardless of beginner or advanced and never leaves anyone behind. I could not be more thankful for all the hard work dedication and love he has shown me over the years, the amount of genuine intent behind his training will have you hooked and coming back for the rest of your life. I have more confidence than I ever have because of the training him and his team offers. If you are looking to get fit, train for a fight, or just looking for a genuine connection with a real trainer that takes your personal life into consideration... look no further... Golden glory is where you need to check in✔????????

Ali Tillman

One of the best kicking boxing places in the lower mainland. Mostafa is so involved with the kids and cares about everyone that he works with. Highly recommend!

Samer Yousfi

It has been just over a year since I joined Golden Glory Fitness Academy and this is the 1st time in my life to attend a fitness centre and not quitting after few month. Mustafa with his great training approach and the friendly and encouraging environment he created, all resulted in a great positive impact on my daily life style starting with the significant weight loss and the significant improvement in my day to day energy and endurance. All of the above in addition to the wonderful and great people attending the gym, all make the Golden Glory Fitness center a great and wonderful place and the community is so lucky to have it. Thank you Mustafa again for all the positive changes you made in our lifestyle.

M C

A fantastic martial arts facility! Our 7 year old son joined Golden Glory a few years ago and it has been one of the best decisions we've made for his physical and mental well-being. Mostafa is an extremely dedicated and passionate instructor who immediately puts his students at ease, both children and adult learners. The whole team at Golden Glory creates a very positive, safe and fun environment for the children while still challenging them and improving their self discipline and confidence. Having tried some other local facilities, Golden Glory offers the best in terms of class structure/format, calibre of instructors, and overall teaching philosophy.
