UFC Gym

From the moment we inquired about membership Aaron Belle was and is AWESOME!!! He was helpful and made me and my husband feel welcomed. I signed up because he was so personable. The coaches are friendly and supportive. If you want to burn calories take Vance’s hour long classes. Im very happy with our decision to join UFC on Knox Street.

I’ve been a member since they were still LA Boxing in 2011. Since then, I have lost 70 pounds and am in the best shape of my life. Everyone here is super nice and the gym is pretty clean but still has a small gym feel. I have had personal training with Vance and he’s a great coach. If you want to challenge yourself, get into amazing shape and change your life I recommend this gym. You will also learn how to kick @$$. All the classes are fun and great for beginner to advanced.

I wish I still lived in the area because to this day this is my favorite gym I’ve ever been a member of.
Previous to becoming part of UFC Gym, it was a small club called LA Boxing. It hasn’t lost its small, local feel and each time I go in I still feel the sense of family around with the trainers and the patrons.
The workout is the best. High intensity and best of all super fun. All levels can attend any class and the trainers are great about pushing you when you need to be pushed and letting you do your thing when you need to take a break. Vance is one of my favorite trainers because he’s great at motivating you to kick ass but honestly I’ve never taken a bad class here with any of the guys. The classes are all what you put into it so if you go hard you’ll definitely be happy about it at the end of the day.
I miss this place so much and wish every gym was as encouraging and welcoming!

This is a really great gym to workout than any other gyms that ive been too because they give u a really great price. If you want a great price like me, i suggest you talk to Hiro, Aaron, or Mike. Gym recently got new equipments and its very clean with the best taste of music everyone can enjoy! The whole staff makes you feel welcomed every time u go there

Small Friendly gym I love coming here great atmosphere. I’ve been a member since 2009.
Best instructors ever! they really push you to getting in shape.

I love this gym!!! John J. and Vance are great trainers. They know how to push you within your limits, but not run the risk of injuring yourself while getting phenomenal results.

Mike the manager takes care of the members. Very friendly people, lots of classes morning through night. Coaches are some of the best in the South Bay.

This is the best workout whether you do boxing or kickboxing. You can see your body change by the 2^nd workout. Vance pushes you without sympathy. I love this gym.
My only complaint is that the carpet area under the punching bags needs to be changed. It appears to be broken down to the point where certain areas are prickly to the skin. Almost feels like you are laying on broken glass. That’s not a good feeling when you are doing push ups or laying down to do core work. If the gym reads this at all PLEASE update the carpet under the punching bags. PLEASE!!!

This gym is pretty hidden had never been to it before went there to see what it was all about and was impressed with the energy that gym carries. They made me feel very welcome and one of the men there I believe his name was Sam was very inspirational and made me feel at home I 100% recommend any one to come check out this gym definitely and great environment with a great staff. Thanks guys !

I really wanted to like this gym, but unfortunately, left after a few months. The class times were too limited and didn’t work with my work schedule and when I was able to attend classes, I just felt really lost. Since their boxing classes are open to all levels, you will have brand new beginners in there with people who have been going for years. They basically just had me imitate whatever the trainer was doing and I had no understanding of the punches we were doing.
I tried to quit my month to month membership after two months and they told me that the month to month memberships were a minimum of three months. What? When I told them this was not mentioned to me previously, they said it was written in the contract. I asked them to point out exactly where it was stipulated in the contract, at which point they backtracked and said it wasn’t in there, but that their month to month membership was a minimum of three months, so I had to pay for another month before they would allow me to quit. I asked about transferring my membership to another UFC location with less limited times and they said I could, but just not to the main Torrance UFC gym, and the next closest gym after that was a 30 minute+ drive. It sucks because I had specifically mentioned the possibility of only staying for two months when I signed up since I had concerns about making it to classes on time with my work schedule and the guy signing me up never said a word about it being a three month minimum. Had he mentioned that previously, I probably would’ve thought more about it or not signed up, which is probably why he didn’t say anything.
Other than that, I will say that the other people who go to this gym/​attend the classes are very friendly and it kind of had that small neighborhood gym vibe. Class/​workout format varied depending on which trainer you got, but intensity level was pretty decent.

I’ve been coming to this gym for over 3 years and honestly I can’t imagine working out anywhere else. This is a perfect place to workout if like me, you are in need of someone else to motivate you/​tell you what to do in your workouts. What most people come for are the boxing/​kickboxing classes but you can also workout on your own, take personal training sessions and they also offer BJJ/​Muay Thai classes.
All of the trainers have their own styles of how they run their classes, so I would suggest coming in and trying all of them to see which one you like best.

Great place to train, excellent trainers. If you want to defend yourself, and get in excellent shape, this is a great place. Prices are very reasonable.

Just how awesome is this UFC Gym? I live in West LA and I commute approx. 20 miles each way for Vance’s kickboxing/​boxing classes. I agree, it’s a far commute for a kickboxing/​boxing class, but the coaches at this gym make the drive completely worth it. You will get a great workout. You will leave super sweaty. You will be sore the next day. And you definitely feel that hurts-​so-​good feeling each time.
Coaches — All the coaches really know what they are doing and will give you a great workout, but my favorite is Vance hands down. Though it does not seem like it at first, cause he’s probably walking around yelling, he’s super friendly and will help you, especially if it’s your first time. The workout are intense and it does seems very intimidating, but don’t let that scare you off. Guarantee, you won’t have regrets coming here.
Classes — Several different ones are offered: boxing, kickboxing, one-​on-​one personal training, matrx, etc. Highly recommend the boxing and kickboxing ones.
Gym — Not a full-​size gym, plenty of bags, has a ring, some free weights, a bench press, a couple of treadmills, and several weight machines. I don’t come to this place to lift so it’s fine to me that it doesn’t have everything, but it does have enough to do a lifting workout if you wanted.
Staff — Super nice and very courteous. Raul at the front desk is pretty chill so if you have questions/​concerns, especially for membership, don’t be shy to ask him.
Helpful hint: located in the shopping center with Wal-​Mart, specifically next to the Dollar Tree. & bring a towel… you’ll need it!

Used to be LA Boxing before UFC decided to swallow us up. The good news is the equipment that I had been complaining about has been upgraded and it is still a small friendly gym focused on boxing and other martial arts — you won’t find Zumba here!
There are some great coaches here, all with a different perspective and different workout. Take classes with all of them and you will be ready to kick @ss and look at your peak.
Next time? Gonna try the new Daily Ultimate Training class.

1. The gym could not scan my hawaii membership, had to sign a form.
2. This is not a complete gym!
Three machines, punching bags, and an octagon.
I left and went to the one on Hawthorne.

New name, new colors with a semi-​new layout. Same location with many of the same great instructors and same great classes in addition to some new ones like TRX & DUT (Daily Ultimate Training). There are a few cardio machines, some weight machines, and good number of free weights and a bench press. There is also a boxing ring and a large number of heavy bags for the numerous classes given throughout the day.
I’ve been a member of this gym since 2010 under the old LA Boxing name.
It was then, as it is now a great small neighborhood gym. If a high intensity, high calorie burning workout is what you’re after, you will definitely find it here.
I’ve taken classes with Vance, Justin, Jimmy, Charles, John and Stephanie and while they all have their own style, they will all have you cursing their name by the end of the workout and maybe days later when your abs still hurt to cough. I’ve also taken advantage of some personal training and you honestly can’t go wrong with any of the trainers.
If your serious about kicking ass in more ways than one, the classes and the instructors at this gym will get you there, as long as you come in and do the work!

This gym is a total gold mine.
Cutting edge classes (TRX!!), trainers who love what they do, all with a down-​to-​earth grit that makes it feel like Rocky would have trained here.
This is a place for folks who love pushing themselves.
And you will see results. FAST.
The coaches are awesome — I’ve had John, Vance, Justin and Margot now and they all make sure you give it everything you’ve got.
As they say, just show up, they’ll take care of the rest.

Love the environment. Love the vibe. Love the UFC gear. Customer service is amazing! Everything looks clean. Always clean actually. It’s not always pack. You can pretty much use all the bags. And it’s a very convenient location. It’s off the 405 freeway. Next to walmart, Office Depot, and a couple of restaurants nearby.
