B Street Boxing

I’m usually hesitant to go to a class, but when I finish class I’m always super glad that I went. Each trainer has a different style/​workout and I really appreciate that variety. I like that it’s a combination of strength, cardio, and agility. Check this place out. It’s very welcoming!

Great gym, Eddie Croft is a boxing legend who will teach the sweet science.

This place is awesome!
I originally came with a class pass for their kickboxing and phew, kicked my butt!
I’ve been coming once a week ever since and definitely feel great and accomplished after each time.
Special shout out to Val the class master who’s friggin amazing! I learn something new every time which only makes me want to go more.
This place is great for all levels (I’m personally super new). I see folks that talk about going there for awhile and are always happy to be there. An epic environment for whatever your goals might be :)

Wow! Ouchy but what a great workout!
Being a small petite girl, (who loves my yoga and pilates) I was a little intimidated about boxing… BUT I have been dying to try out a boxing class at a boxing gym. was a little nervous, and heard great reviews about this gym, and thought why not! Called ahead and talked to Eddie the owner, and came 15 mins before class started.
Thank You to the team at Bstreet Boxing, I LOVED this Boxing gym, what a kickass workout, a great cardio workout + fitness instructors. Eddie the owner helped me wrap my hands, and gave me a tour of the gym, and made me feel a lot more at home. the dudes in their boxing gloves dominating the boxing bags were still a little intimidating but everyone was super supportive and nice. Courtney the boxing instructor paid a lot of attention to me as a beginner and gave me special attention with my techniques.
For being pretty fit with my yoga and bar method, this was a completely different workout, and it still kicked my ass big time. The boxing class I took was a total body workout and am already sore.
Without Eddie + the the one on one attention, I probably wouldn’t have survived and enjoyed the boxing class.
Everyone needs to check this place out, and call ahead and chat with the staff, they will take care of U. Will be coming back for more. Here is to my bikini body!

Eddie Croft and friends are a great and noble San Mateo institution that stands as a monument to both physical and mental well-​being. With high intensity work-​outs all day 5 days a week, Bstreet Boxing remains the best value in Martial Arts Instruction in the Civilized World. Great work out, Terrible fun, and learn skills to empower you for the rest of your life.
I prefer the morning classes which were full but get there early for the night classed for they be packed!

This place brings back memories of being young and going to club Ante. The chill spot is where I used to get my drinks, The ring was the stage, and the other workout room is where the magic used to happen. ha ha anyway… ha great place tho, I love what they done to the place. They really changed it up to make the most perfect boxing place. All kinds of bags here to choose from. Its like a golfer picking his clubs in his bag they were all different. The place is very clean and the ring is pretty dope. The prices are bad. Pretty fair and basic but I liked the packages.
Didn’t seem like a catch. This is a great location, happy hours, movie theatres, parking, and stairs you can jump down and even spring out of on yer way out.
I liked the workouts here. They’re actually are alot of pro’s here, you can see their pictures on the wall for an example. I worked up a sweat but I didn’t really need water.
I worked up a nice sweat it wasn’t too exhausting tho, it made me hungry but I felt it more in my muscles in the sense of being real toned instead of stressed .
I was like wow I feel it in my muscles but I am not tired out.
The techniques and the ways the instructors do things here ease you into it in the best way possible.
The instructor really worked with you to make sure you get it right and do your best.
I am very interested in being a regular here.

AMAZING LUTA-​LIVRE NO GI CLASS!!!
The teacher is very attention and the students also very friendly. I won’t stop anymore!!!
Thank you.

Discovered this place through a Groupon deal (and Unilocal to validate). true to what many reviewers have already mentioned, this is a no-​frills and family-​friendly boxing/​martial arts gym. I’ve taken a few classes so far, and each of the trainers/​instructors have been very friendly and helpful. Sparring is never competitive, and the gym promotes a positive and encouraging atmosphere.
I’d say my favorite class is the KB conditioning class with Dan. He really makes you work and sweat, and he is very patient with correcting your form. If you’re looking to lean out and burn fat or tone up, then check out one of his classes.
My only qualm is that because it’s in a small basement studio, it can feel a bit claustrophobic.

This place is exactly what you want in a boxing gym. B Street has all the basics but with enough gritty charm to make you feel like your at a real boxing gym. If you’ve ever wanted to get in the best shape of your life, try out one of their classes. Or if you’ve got the cash, take a personal training session. The trainers are knowledgeable and effective at transforming driven and dedicated people into super fit humans. I also think it’s worth mentioning that the trainers here are some the best people you will meet in life. No egos or intimidating personalities. Just a group of people who want to learn and progress through practice. Also, I won’t lie. I love the easy access to downtown San Mateo recovery meals. :)

If you want a great workout its the place to go! Really good instructors, Eddie will kick your ass into shape! Gloves and wrappings are in the gym to use also.

Although I haven’t been here for awhile, I give 4 stars for the sparring part of the class. The class is no doubt hell of a workout and the instructors are super nice. They encourage you to do your best all the while being very tough. All levels of training can be in one class which can be intimidating, especially when you have to spar with participants. To be honest, that wasn’t what I was looking for especially for a beginner. It was a lot to take getting hit by dudes, even lightly.
Overall the class was great and your fellow boxers are very motivating since they’re going through the class with you. Definitely would recommend this place for those of you who want to get whipped into shape fast and perhaps see boxing as a career.

Dedicating my 100^th review to Eddie’s gym.
Whether it’s boxing, martial arts, kickboxing, or core conditioning, B Street boxing has it all! Eddie will get you up to speed in no time and not for a single moment did I feel judged for being n00b when I started two years ago. Just remember to put your hands up or else you’ll get KO’ed! (jk of course :))
Each trainer has a unique and fun style so you might find that you have a certain preference for a class after trying em all out.
Freddie & Dan incorporate kettle bells, jump ropes, medicine balls, etc. in their primarily muay thai/​core conditioning workouts whereas Gilbert & Eddie focus more on bagwork. However they are all extremely well-​rounded in their knowledge of martial arts and will work with you to accomplish any fitness goals you may have. Oh, & they’re also terrific with kids.
The first few weeks are the toughest since they’ll push you to your limit but I promise you, it gets better each day.
With it’s humble, friendly instructors and great variety of classes, B street boxing is the perfect environment to start loving your workouts (and your body!)
You’ll also meet great people while you’re at it. Try the week free trial and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
Roll with the punches, I think you should :)

I took boxing here a year ago and it was great. I must have lost a few pounds and I definitely know I got in good shape rather quickly. My nephew who took the classes with me really loves going here. Eddie, who owns the place, is one remarkable person. He will train you hard, yet he is a down to earth kinda guy. He gave my nephew discount whenever he was here. Until today, my nephew wants to go back here… maybe we will. The people who go here are pretty good and I never experienced anyone trying to show off or trying to knock you out during exercises — I think Eddie will take care of that. lol

The best place around. Seriously love this place and Eddie is the best trainer ever. He will kick your ass and you won’t think twice about it and you will find yourself thanking him for it, lol. Best place for a person like me who is one of those people that hates working out. Join this place, you will not regret it!

B Street Boxing and the team have been very accommodating and some of the best trainers in the business! I love the people there as well, there’s a place for everyone!

Best place to go in the Bay Area if you want to get into boxing or just get a great workout. Eddie and the staff are knowledgeable, friendly and take the time to show students the proper techniques. Everyone here has a positive attitude — not like most other gyms.

Almost 4 years ago when I was 37, I decided I didn’t want to be a fat 40 year old. I walked down the stairs and met Eddie Croft, owner of B Street Boxing. .. and I reached my goal! :) I was able to do ALMOST one push up on my first day. After 6 months, I was down 2 dress sizes! My weight didn’t change much though in the beginning because I was gaining muscle. Now I’m down 4 sizes and I love my arms (something I never thought I’d say!)!
The staff and members are welcoming, helpful, and there to get or stay in shape. I thought I would be embarrassed by how out of shape I was in the beginning, but I got positive reinforcement and encouragement from everyone. It’s not a place to socialize and dress in cute workout gear; it’s a place to get the most out of an hour workout and SWEAT! I recommend that the ladies take their makeup off before taking a class because it will only cause acne and makeup running down your face is never pretty! Haha! There is camaraderie with the other members and the instructors are very knowledgeable.
B Street Boxing has given me a whole new outlook on life (sounds cheesy, but it’s true) and has enabled me to really love working out regularly which keeps me in shape! I love it to pieces and highly recommend giving it a try to see if it is something that you will enjoy as well.

Eddie is an OG and this place is the best. I’ve been coming here for nearly a year now and love it.
All the instructors are very helpful and passionate about what they teach. This isn’t just some soccermom-​infested cardio pseudoboxing gym, however. B Street has its fighters such as professional boxer Melissa McMorrow (former Golden Gloves champion) and Golden Gloves finalist Clinton Nelson and a stable of amateur fighters as well. Sparring is open to people that want to do so and if you want to become a fighter, Eddie will have you in fighting shape.
First week is free, come try out a workout session and leave feeling like a badass.

Rid yourself of your cinema-​fueled preconceptions about dark, dingy, odor-​laden underground cave-​like gyms with coaches that don’t smile nor communicate in any utterance but loud, barking remarks, and an occupancy of strictly beefy, mean-​lookin’ dudes. This surprisingly well-​lit, colorful, and welcoming gym is definitely for anybody and everybody.
The owner of the gym, Eddie, is extremely friendly and knows every single person that comes into his gym by name. Chances are, you’ll be feeling like friends before the end of your first session. Although he trains professional fighters, he isn’t going to make you feel lame for knowing zero about boxing technique upon entering his gym. He’s patient, and he’ll work with you until you get it right.
And, let’s be honest; going to a regular gym — running on a treadmill, using the elliptical, stationary bike, free weights, etc — is BORING. We put up with the monotony with the hopes of a tighter tummy and a perky bum (male equivalent: six-​pack and guns?), but wouldn’t you rather spend your work-​out hour doing something fun? At the end of the hour at B-​Street you’ll be dripping with sweat, smiling, and feeling accomplished.
Although the monthly membership is about $ 100, the rest of the fixin’s (gloves, hand wraps, equipment, etc.) are provided for you. In addition, you’ll get at least a little bit of 1-​on-​1 attention every time you go. Totally worth it, in my humble opinion. And, I mean, even more worth it when you compare it to a regular gym membership that you’ll stop using when your New Years resolution enthusiasm wears off and that membership card starts collecting dust in the back of your wallet. Trust me, you’ll want to keep coming back to B-​Street.

Being a smallish yet somewhat physically fit guy I was looking to introduce a new type of exercise to my normal routines. I was looking for something that would focus more on upper body since my running and cycling has made my chicken legs into a nice set of getaway sticks but the upper part of my body was very lacking. Backing that up was my fairly off-​the-​cuff and sarcastic mouth, that has gotten me into trouble a few times but thankfully not too seriously yet, and the need to be able to at least defend myself if/​when the opportunity should arise. Boxing seemed a great fit.
I looked around a bit at a few different boxing and martial arts gyms. Some were way too intense (picture Bloodsport ala Van Damme) where I’d be scared to walk into the place or scared to become that way. Some were «cardio» boxing type places where, no offense, sparing with a soccer mom didn’t seem like the best way to get tough. B Street had a perfect mix of friendly and professional coaches but still with a very real boxing gym atmosphere and curriculum. You learn all the technique and get a great workout to boot.
