I just had an awesome workout at Classic Kickboxing. It is a great place to get in shape. It's a very clean environment and the staff are very helpful. I can't wait to go back!! read more

Classic kickboxing is the most amazing studio ever! Not only are u working ur butt off, but u get to beat the crap outta something at the same time! Mauricio is superrr friendly, along with everyone who works there, and they make u feel really comfortable from the get-go. First class is free, but i doubt that's where you'll end your sessions. Love this place, and you will too if you go there! read more

I signed up for a year long membership and I loved it! Everyone was great and really helpful. I not only learned how to train, I met some pretty nice people. All the trainers are pretty helpful and the members are really welcoming. I had a great experience and I gained some AWESOME muscle while also learning how to fight. I've been an athlete my whole life and after several gym memberships and a private trainer, this place was the only place that really challenged my strength! I loved this gym but unfortunately the class times didn't work with my work schedule, not saying they're not flexible, I just work night shifts and go to school during the day. Otherwise the gym is great and I really learned a lot! Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a kickboxing gym. read more

This is the real-deal. Walking into the gym you definitely get that old-school classic feel with the exposed bricks and vintage structure. The gym is very well-equipped with a heavy bag room for group classes and two other rooms with a ring, matted area with bags and now also a spin room. What's different about this gym is that is welcoming and, I hate to have to say it, it's also female-friendly. Mauricio doesn't tolerate macho-meat-heads creeping on women. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of men, it's definitely co-ed, but there aren't any creepy men! Front desk girls are also very friendly, accommodating and helpful. Both they girls up front and Mauricio are always more than willing to help wrap and show you multiple times over multiple visits the correct technique. They never seem put-out. The gym is very clean.....nobody is leaving buckets of sweat all over everything, which makes you more susceptible to staph and other infections. They have policies in place, such as wiping down the equipment and using towels, which help keep it clean. They provide wipes. Now onto the workout, it'll kick your butt....for me, it's the cardio is the challenge. We do a warm-up, bag work that includes punching and kicking combos, and then some floor work agt the end. By the end of class I have burnt around 400 calories. My only critique would be is that I'd like more specific instruction on technique. However, it just may be that the classes I've taken are group fitness classes, as opposed to actual one-on-one training with a kickboxing coach. I know technique is the utmost priority with that type of coaching. The coaches are top-level athletes and skilled in their sport. read more

I had been to spin classes before but never a Pedal and Punch class. I took a chance on something new and different and it paid off. Mango, our instructor, was encouraging and fun the entire time. I'm out of shape so the alternatives she gave for certain excercises were great. The gym owner, Mauricio took time to talk to me before and after the class and was inquisitive about why I decided to come in and take a class. He seemed very appreciative of his membership and class attendees. I will be returning to Pedal and Punch as soon as I can lift my arms again. read more

I took my first free kickboxing class with Eddie a few weeks back. He was awesome and super helpful with teaching me the basics. He kept me in check and made sure I had the proper form. Afterwards, I decided to sign up for a 3 month early bird deal-- 6am on M,W,F for $109/month. Not bad I gotta say since it's the only time that works around my work schedule. Anyway... my second class was with Mauricio who I'm glad I got to meet. I like that everyone's workout/warm-up is a little different. The warm-up itself already shows me how out of shape I am. I'm looking forward to getting back in shape here as kickboxing is a full body workout. I just wish the early bird special included weekends so we could switch it up with different instructors. read more

The instructors are great! I love jazz and mango who are always energetic and really motivational! I also really like the way the class is split half spinning and half boxing. By the end I feel like I get a really good full body workout. read more

I've been doing weight lifting for a long time, but rarely do cardio (treadmill) because I find it to be very boring. So I decided to try kickboxing here to for cardio since it seems fun. The work outs are great, I come out of each class sweating so much that I have to change shirt before getting into my car. In additional to improved stamina, all the kicking helped improved my balance, which I noticed a lot when I play basketball. I have only tried their "classic" classes so far, and I will definitely try their "elite" classes later on. Mauricio, the owner, is very nice, after attending two classes he already remembers me by name. The classes/membership are pricy, but it's definitely worth it. The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 stars is because of the schedule. I really wish they offered more classes on the weekends, currently they only offer two classes each on Sat. and Sunday morning. If they start offering classes on weekend afternoons, it will definitely be 5 stars! read more

Classic Kickboxing is a great place to work out. This place is very well-kept and clean (not usually the case for typical boxing gyms). The staff and instructors are very friendly and knowledgeable. As other reviewers have already mentioned, CK offers a variety of classes that will be sure to fit your schedule or interests. I personally take private boxing lessons from Mauricio (the owner) and have learned a tremendous amount about the sport. If you're looking for a boxing/kickboxing studio, or just looking for a place to work out, you should definitely stop by and check this place out! read more

I love this place. The location is great, right by downtown Pasadena and the workout is AMAZING! The hour goes by so fast and you sweat sweat sweat. I love the workout. I always feel challenged and like I got a great workout. This is a great place for people of all levels and fitness. The teachers and staff are so helpful and welcoming, the music and environment is comfortable and fun and the workout is one of the best I've had. The only thing you need to remember is your sweat towel and you're good to go. I highly recommend this gym for a great workout for anyone trying to stay or get fit and healthy. read more

This class is next level! They offer a truly unique experience to which I have never seen. The Pedal and Punch class is challenging and lively. If you are looking to change up your routine, this is definitely the place to start. Super clean gym and the instructors are amazing. Classic Bicicletta is one of a kind and I would definitely recommend it to everyone. read more

After my initial review below, Mauricio reached out via Yelp to explain the situation. I appreciate the time that he took to contact me, and I now have a different perspective on our previous interaction (which I'd perceived to be negative). Thus, I am giving the studio an updated rating which better reflects my overall experience there. read more

I was surprisingly pleased with my initial experience here! The class was intense but not intimidating for rookies like myself. Mauricio obviously knows what he's doing. It's what I've always wanted in a workout! Makes me work hard, sweat, and enjoy it at the same time. So glad I'm not too far from here. I'm planning to become back on a regular basis. read more

I love Classic Kickboxing. I know it's going to sound cheesy but this gym is a life-changer! It's the real deal, not a class that was added between indoor cycling and yoga. Mauricio is the national US and Columbian kickboxing, so he knows what he's doing and hires only the best instructors. On top of having the knowledge, they know how to pass it and are super nice. The Bootcamp class is a well-rounded one: it starts with cardio and stretching, then moves to the actual kickboxing (on a floor-to-ceiling bag), and finishes with abs and more stretching. The group dynamic, the music and the instructor make it a high-energy, encouraging environment. Also offered are Sparring, Specialty Kicks (my favorite!), Advanced Technique and individual classes. I've been going there for two years and my flexibility has greatly improved (as noticed by my chiropractor in about 2 months), I feel more energetic and way more self-confident (yes, knowing how to throw punches and kicks does boost your confidence...;) ). Anyway. Long story short, it's great and the first session is free. So try it! read more

I love this studio! It's clean and welcoming. I take the kickboxing class every Monday night and always enjoy the class. It's a great workout and a very welcoming boxing studio. Don't forget to bring water, a towel, and boxing gloves. read more

This place rules! Mauricio is one of the nicest guys I know, but he really knows how to kick your butt. I love this place. Prices are reasonable, and they offer lots of evening classes which is great for us 8-5ers. If you want a great workout in a fun, friendly and encouraging atmosphere, check out classic kickboxing. Be prepared to sweat! read more

Classic Kickboxing studio is a haven for those who wants to have fun while experiencing a great workout. The instructors are very encouraging and knowledgeable. Each one offering something different to their own class but in the end of every session ,as you leave you worked off tons of sweat and a happy smile on your face. read more

Love this gym and love the instructors. The classes are challenging and fun. I laugh at the reviewers who say this is boring or too easy. Kickboxing is a sport that is as challenging as you make it. You can take it easy or you can go hard, it's up to each person. With Mauricio, you have the opportunity to refine and perfect your technique. It's not just about hitting the bag. If people are bored, it's because they aren't taking advantage of the different instructors or they are not trying to increase their endurance, speed and technique. read more

I've been attending the gym for several years now. In addition to being a great place to workout (excellent trainers, clean and honest) for everyone, it is also excellent for those like me who are interested in seriously improving their kickboxing technique. Many classes are offered, but the Muay Thai class is really phenomenal. Mauricio is a champion fighter who knows that fighting is as much cerebral as athletic. This class delivers a great work out, but through focus techniques and sparring drills, one can also really improve his or her skills. Also importantly, the class has a fun, relaxed atmosphere. This isn't a bunch of guys trying to prove who is the best; it's for serious people (guys and girls) trying to improve their technique. I can't recommend it highly enough. read more

Mauricio plays the best music to make you feel like a beast when hitting those bags!!! Don't worry if you're a beginner because that's how I started. Great work out and it's just fun. Make sure you brings a towel! read more

Great workouts, Awesome Trainers, Just a Great environment to be in!

Not bad for the price watchin. Quick class

Another great cardio kickboxing class with Mauricio. I started going here a couple years ago having no boxing experience and now I kickboxing at least twice a week. I love the workout and Mauricio and his team make it so fun and different every time so it keeps you engaged. Highly recommend it for beginners or advanced boxers/kickboxers as it incorporate plenty of cardio as well as bag work. But what they really do a good job of is keeping your form right so that you prevent injury. Looking forward to the next class read more

LOVE this place! Great environment. Friendly staff. Accessible location with free parking down the street.

Once you come to this place, it gets addicting. IT's the best work out ever and the teachers/trainers are awesome. I came with alot of baby fat to lose, so i took some private classes with Mauricio to get in condition (which i recommed) and i am happy with the results. I have been there for over 3 years and i am an addict. If you are looking for a serious difference in your physic, stamina and overall appearance , i highly recommend this place otherwise to go a all inclusive gym. For you new comers... pace yourself, we all started at the same place. For you regulars...you guys continue to inspire me to do better and keep it up! read more

After trying a few other boxing gyms, I instantly knew how much of a gem Classic Kickboxing as soon as I walked through the doors. The vibe is awesome, like an old school boxing gym - except clean as a whistle. It seems like a movie set (in fact it has been apparently). The trainers are very warm, encouraging and unintimidating. Some points of the class are strenuous but they've done an excellent job of making people feel comfortable to sit out when they need to. They are also decorated, world class athletes, Google a few! A typical class include a warm up, combo drills then an ab blast at the end - and it works, I'm proof. Nearly all the classes are no-contact there are a few sparring classes for people who want to mix it up. I'd strongly recommend one of Mauricio's classes for a beginner, after teaching for so many years, he really knows what he is doing and it shows. The variety of pricing structures is very accommodating and in my opinion, quite fair. I tell all my friends to go and you should too! read more

My gosh!!! I burn 700-800 calories a class with Mauricio! Its a great kickboxing studio. Each student gets their own bag. Super clean. Very challenging! read more

I needed a weekend workout that was motivating, focus's on technique and just a damn good arse kicking. Every class, I walk out drenched in sweat and I love it! I have to say, I would prefer more focus on technique rather than the class be all about fitness but regardless it's a great class. Eddie (as far as I know trains only on Sunday's) is amazing. After talking with him 10 mins after a training session, my kick's have dramatically improved. Loving it even more now. read more

I joined this gym thanks to a friend who really wanted to try a more intensive kickboxing class (he used to go to the cardio kickboxing class at 24 Hr Fitness). Let's just say that Ralph's kickboxing bootcamp is probably the most intense workout class that I've ever endured. If you're looking to burn a LOT of calories, his class will definitely do that--and to an intriguing music selection at that. Instead of the usual cheesy workout music, Ralph plays an eclectic selection of Brit rock (a LOT of Morrissey, The Smiths, Queen) to a bit more mainstream rock (old U2, Depeche Mode, Kings of Leon). So, if you're going through a break-up and you'd rather punch a bag than eat a pint of Haagen Daaz while listening to the Magnetic Fields, Ralph's class would be perfect. A lot of different classes at different times, and a membership lets you take as many classes as you want which is pretty cool. Classes are typically pretty small (at least when I've gone) which is great because you get personal attention (and no slacking off). read more

I am addicted to this workout. I have trained at two other boxing gyms in LA, always looking to add a high intensity workout to my routine that is consistent, safe, and super engaging. The other two gyms were okay, and I was relatively happy there, but nothing like the consistency and technique I get here. I have learned so much in the past few months and upped my level of fitness considerably. Mauricio is engaging, informative, and has his student's best interest in mind. There is always a range of levels in the room, so don't be discouraged if you're new to kickboxing or getting back in to working out. See you in class! read more

I have been here for a while, taking classes from Maurico and Michelle, and both of them are excellent. The gym is very spacious, and has a lot of heavy bags. The room is rough looking, just like a boxing practice area should be. Punching and kicking is a good way to start a day to deal with all kinds of stress. Parking is very easy if you are taking early morning classes, which are what I am taking. You can park on the street for free. I don't know for other times, but may not be as easy. read more

I love coming here! I been here about four times now taking their kick boxing class and its amazing! You get such a great workout no matter what level you may be at. I always start sweating when were bearly doing the warm-ups. I always love to push my self so i go hard when doing the bag punching. Yes my fingers hurt and are so sore for a while but i love the feeling and lets me know i had a pretty good workout. Great distresser! The routine is never the same so it never gets borring. I especially love the last minute of the workout, Mauricio lets you go all out in a free-style round. I go all out with my anger lol. The facility is very clean and staff is always friendly and helpful. I will definitely keep coming back!! read more

I tried out a class with some friends and our daughters over the weekend. Mauricio and his staff were very helpful and positive. We had a great time and a challenging workout! Can't wait to go back again! read more

I've been training with Classic Kickboxing for the past three years. The trainers here are extremely friendly and professional. Training with any of them is a great way to get fit and in great shape. The studio itself looks like a gym from a classic movie set. It's old-school and feels really genuine - a great, clean place to train. The clientele is also very welcoming. Since I started training here, I've become very fit and also more confident. All in all, I would recommend Classic Kickboxing to anyone who wants to get in great shape and enjoy yourself while you're at it. read more

My husband and I have been going to Classic Kickboxing for about 5 months now. Walking here is just a perk. The instructors are incredibly attentive and know exactly what they are doing in order for you to get the full kickboxing experience. I saw physical results almost immediately. The gym is very clean. "Million-Dollar Baby" was filmed here and I can see why this gym was chosen for the movie. It looks like an old-time boxing gym with brick walls, a huge ring to spare in, a gym, and enough kickboxing bags for everyone to have. I never had a problem not having a bag for a class. The staff couldn't be friendlier. Each instructor has a different style, so I highly recommend that you try taking class with 3 different instructors a week. YOU WILL SEE RESULTS!! Love this place....so much fun, and I finally have that flat stomach!!! read more

I love the classes and the instructors are really nice. You feel comfortable no matter your physical level. I totally agree with Gina, women will see results immediately in their midriff. I'm officially addicted to kickboxing!!! read more

The entire staff is friendly and professional. I always feel comfortable and well taken care of when I'm there. The Cardio Kickboxing classes are so fun and I always leave feeling great after an amazing workout. Monthly membership is a great deal! read more

I have been training at Classic Kickboxing for a year and a half. After 20 years of no exercise I was looking for streneous, all around complete workout. I found it ! After the first class I was hooked and have been ever since. It's a complete head to toes workout and your mind also is working. They have different trainers with different styles, so you really get a nice cross training if you can take a few classes a week. It's a friendly place, people who come here are here to exercise. It's a very nice crowd of all ages and professional backgrounds. The location is very convenient as well. What I like also is the attention each person gets from the trainer. I highly recommand Classic Kickboxing to anyone who is looking for a great workout. read more

One workout in the ring with Mauricio 17 years ago and I was literally hooked for life. He lives kickboxing, so his classes are not some wimpy flail-your-arms-and-feet exercise. The studio itself is a classy remake of the old boxing gyms, another reflection of how Mauricio grew up training for his fights. The hour you spend in it really does take you away from the world outside it. Great release of energy! read more

Love this place ! Mauricio is awesome! Pushes you to be better, pumps you up to your potential . Great atmosphere great music and safe area. I highly recommend this place for real fighters !!! read more
