Great community, amazing coaches , and overall an outstanding gym! I was a bit nervous when joining my first MMA gym .. especially, being a smaller sized girl but, Gamebred was welcoming and motivating throughout my training. Coaches are very knowledgeable and experienced. The gym itself is always clean and very spacious. I couldn't ask for a better gym to train at. Would highly recommend to anyone interested to in learning true technique and form. read more

This place is better than therapy sessions! Muay Thai, Boxing, Jui Jitsu and personal training. They have it all... They treat you like family the minute you walk up. This is a professional MMA training center and that's exactly what you get...professional training coaches. I joined because I wanted to learn self defense. I was nervous at first but there has never been a day I didn't feel out of place. A year later I have learned so much and can't think of a bette place to go to. The people are genuinely kind, the place is super clean. And...they have a huge women restroom and changing room when you train for jui jitsu which is a huge plus. I highly recommend this place if your looking to join an amazing team to help you with your personal goals or just to stay active. read more

If your looking for a gym and a home or a team and a family this is the place to go. You can train with the most elite or start from the beginning. It's a great business and super clean facility. read more

I've been going to Gamebred the last couple of years, and it's my favorite gym of all the ones I've trained at. All of the coaches have great credentials (BELLATOR/PFL), and the owner/head coach Herman Terrado is also the star pupil of the legendary Baret Yoshida, so you know you're getting your moneys worth from people with lots of experience. This gym is not only great for those who are looking to compete, but also for those who are brand new to combat sports and want to try something new. It's a very tight knit group, and also kid friendly. read more

My 4 year old Rick attends their Kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu classes. My sons attention span isnt all there...he loses focus easily and makes the coaches work harder. Somehow the coaches are super patient and beyond helpful with my little one. And in just some weeks my son has learned so much it impresses me whenever i go see him grapple around with the other kids. Coaches here do a great job and im very grateful for that Definitely a great place to train at. read more

Writing this review after an entire year of being apart of this community. Let's start from the beginning. 14 months ago. I googled several gyms in the Chula Vista area, inquiring about a boxing style class for my child. Of the 4 messages sent. Gamebred was the only gym to respond and they simply said, come check us out, let your child try the classes out for a week to see if this is the right fit for you. Well after that first class we were hooked. In this year my child has gained another family and a type of support that I believe can only be achieved in this type of setting. All of the coaches are wonderful. They are patient, well versed in their field and they truly care about helping each child growth physically and mentally. Everyone that works in this gym, including the owner has made us feel, like we belong here. Gamebred stands out amongst the rest, based on their values and gym community. read more

The first time I came to this gym I was impressed on how well kept and clean the facility is. It's a 2 story MMA gym that has lots of mat space and punching bags. They even have a huge boxing ring inside! When I first walked in, I was immediately greeted by the employees at the front who were very professional and friendly. I saw on their schedule that they teach boxing, muay thai and jiu jitsu for adults and kids all throughout the day. They also have personal training! I been training with Christian. He is a great personal trainer. He played a large part of my weight loss transformation. He is an excellent teacher. I've learned a lot by training with him including how to exercise correctly and effectively. He always explains each workout thoroughly and gives rationales on why certain exercises are being implemented. He always provides great information about diet/nutrition. Overall cool guy, very humble and easy to talk to. He is very patient, pays close attention and listens to his clients needs/goals. He pushes me hard during my workouts and really helps me step out of my comfort zone which makes me feel more confident in the gym and overall much better in my fitness journey! read more

Love this gym. Pushes me to reach my highest potential. Makes me feel safe and welcome. Have gained tuns of confidence and a new family. Great place for beginners and all levels. Highly highly recommend. read more

Amazing gym! Best Muay Thai class I've been too Brandon Carrillo is one of the best coaches!

My wife and I both train at gamebred training center and we truly enjoy the atmosphere. We both train Boxing w/Nestor Flores and do restorative stretching in Mark Elliott's yoga class. I also train jiu-jitsu w/Herman Terrado and all of these gentlemen are extremely knowledgeable and technical in their teaching methods. They keep you engaged and will meet you where you're at to help you better improve yourself, on and off the mats. PS the facility is also very clean and they have plans to keep improving it. So you know it's a good investment, both for your health, and the community. read more

Gamebred Training Center - Gyms Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I've been going to Gamebred since they opened and I absolutely love everything about it! From the actual workout, learning styles, trainers, and people it makes working out fun. I look forward to going in there every day that I go! Being a female who isn't super experienced (I've only been boxing for a year) it can be intimidating doing boxing or muay thai classes but Nestor and Herman make you feel extremely comfortable; as well as the regular attendees! The gym is always spotless and clean! On top of the variety of classes they offer, they even have a weight area that I seriously love! If anyone is looking for a boxing, muay thai, jui-jitsu, or MMA gym I highly recommend Gamebred! read more

Welcoming. Clean. Fun! I excitedly recommend this gym and especially getting a few sessions with Christian! Having an encouraging, nonintimidating, clean gym filled with qualified and talented trainers is priceless. All of these things are found at Gamebred and more! Including professional and welcoming staff and classes for all ages and levels. Cardio Chris, as I refer to Christian, is highly skilled, knowledgeable and supportive regardless of your fitness level. He listens to my fitness goals and works intentionally with me to mesh my foodie lifestyle with my new found love for boxing! Be ready to be pushed to your limit and to have a lot of fun! read more

I'm glad I found Gamebred, located in Eastlake. I used to train a few years ago and have not been able to find a good boxing/mma gym with quality trainers. Right off the bat the coaches Herman, Mark, and Nestor were very welcoming and I can tell they really care about their client's progress in learning. Nestor the boxing/striking coach has a passion for it and it shows, they really take the time to make sure you get the technique down, something the other gyms that I have visited lacked. Here at Gamebred they treat you like family. I recommend this mma gym to anyone interested in starting or getting back into training. Their schedule is also very convenient and they offer classes throughout the day. read more

I love this place! I come in everyday excited, and the boxing trainer Nestor is ready to get in work. What I like about it is that everyday we do something different and he is always aware of everyone's improvement in boxing 101! All the staff is positive and knows what they are doing! All I can say is that everyone is in great hands with Herman terrado and Nestor! they have passion, and experience in getting you in shape and developing the best version of yourself! I've lost 20lbs in a 1 1/2 month!!! :) read more

Gamebred is the best work out experience I have ever had. I decided to try out their free week, and signed up after my second class. Their boxing classes are extremely welcoming to beginners. Everyone is really supportive and Nestor(boxing coach) always gives pointers on how to improve. They also offer other types of classes with trainers that are all experts in their fields. I would recommend anyone who is looking to get into better shape or learn self defense to give this place a try. read more

Best gym in San Diego! This has been one of the best investments I've made. Whatever level you are at you will be well taken care of here. This is the best place to get in shape, actually learn a new skill, build your confidence, and surround yourself with some good people. Nestor, Herman, Mark and all the other coaches/staff will make you feel like family. The facility is spotless, I've never seen a gym this clean. My son and I have mainly worked with Nestor the striking coach and he trains pros, amateurs and beginners like myself and he actually cares about your progress and takes the time to help everyone. If you're looking for gym look no further, You will not be disappointed. read more

The staff here is really helpful and welcoming. I started here not too long ago, without any experience and they have all made me feel really comfortable along the way. I've been training with Christian and he is beyond great. He puts me through a good workout while learning a lot. My son also trains here with Nestor and he loves it. Nestor is very patient with his students and focuses on each kid as he works with them. The owner was also very friendly and helpful. This gym will definitely exceed your expectations. From the employees to the cleanliness, it is an overall great gym. read more

Initially, I signed up because of how convenient the location is to my place. I looked online and reviewed their training/classes schedule and was please they offered Muay Thai training 5 days a week and also during the day/lunch time. The facility is a multi level gym with tons of mat space, banana bags, thai pads,etc. Cleanliness is big for me and the staff stay on top of it. The bathrooms are spotless and they have a shower too....a plus if you gotta work right after class. Although I personally dont train BJJ, I have witnessed and observed the classes and I'm impressed by the patience and methodical way of teaching technique. I've trained at other places and all were well and good but what I like is the positive, supportive, welcoming vibe I get from the staff. Which, incidentally, are real active fighters in their own right with no attitude. They really want to see you progress. Cheers! read more

This place is amazing! I've been training with one of their employees (Christian) for some time now and it's been all kinds of good. His workouts and training sessions are intense and he'll make sure to get the best of you. My 6yr old son has also trained here, with Coach Nestor. Nestor is a very patient and inspiring coach for the kids. I don't think I've ever met a coach as dedicated to his young students as him. Mark, another employee is also very welcoming and helpful. He keeps the equipment and gym very clean and sanitary. Even the owner, Herman, is a great guy. I've had the chance to speak with him a few times and he was very friendly. He even let me take a picture with him. You might ask, why would you take a picture with the owner? Well that's because it is Herman Terrado! Overall, every employee I've met at this gym have made me feel welcome. It's a great place to come train, trust me you'll learn a lot with any one of their trainers. read more

I have been training here at Gamebred since March and have loved every minute of it. I was looking for a Gym to help me lose some weight with an affordable rate. I decided to pick Gamebred because for one it is different from what I have been doing, and Two I wanted to get back into Boxing and learn some Muay Thai and Jujitsu. In about a month or so I lost about 20lbs. just with the workouts itself. I didn't change my eating habits or anything. These work outs/ classes are exactly what I was looking for. Very challenging, but doable. Let's just say that this is the first time I leave a Gym Drenched in sweat. Other than that, the instructors are awesome and are more than happy to help you out if you get lost. The atmosphere is great, the place is very clean, and you will learn something new every day. I am so happy that I found this place. It allows me to lose weight, get an awesome work out in, and learn new techniques form real fighters, all while having fun. Not to mention that this gym has the best rates in town. read more
