Burbank Boxing Club is a family-oriented, positive and friendly two-hour workout class that…read morecurrently takes place on Monday and Wednesday evenings at the Burbank YMCA. My two oldest children, who were around nine and six at the time, started dropping in to BBC while I participated in other classes at the Y. Coach Steve would invite me in and I would politely decline, opting for Zumba or spinning instead. I had already decided that I wasn't coordinated for boxing and didn't want to look silly (because I looked awesome doing Zumba? Ha!). Eventually I got bored with my usual routine and decided to step outside of my comfort zone. I joined my kids and confirmed that I was, in fact, completely uncoordinated, awkward and clumsy. However, Coaches Steve and Maya are welcoming, supportive and motivating so I really didn't feel as silly as I expected to. The class starts with a good group stretch then a warm up which could be anything as members take turns leading the warm up. Next up is shadowboxing followed by jump roping before Coach selects two members to do a demonstration in the ring (sorry, no sparring at present). Afterwards, we glove up to hit heavy bags, speed bags, Bob or pair up with a partner and some focus mits. Then we grab a mat and do abs as a group before finishing off with another stretch. It's a great two hour workout at any level. The club is comprised of all levels of skill and everyone is willing to help with form and answer any questions. Keep coming and you will start to feel like family. I know I have and even though I'm not always consistent, it feels like I'm home again when I return. This is one of the best (if not the best) programs at the YMCA!

Very comfy gym with lots of parking. It has a weight room plus tons of kickboxing equipment. I just…read morewent for my first class last Monday morning and I loved it! Not too small and not too big. Trainers were friendly and the vibe is casual although you will work and you will get tired. I recommend this gym to anyone who wants to try Muay Thai for the very first time.

Great spot for beginners! The environment is super friendly and welcoming, making it a great choice…read moreif you're just starting out. When booking a class online, you'll be prompted to choose your station. Keep in mind that you'll either begin at a bench or a bag. I accidentally started at a bag because I wasn't familiar with the layout. While it is labeled on the booking screen--'B' for bag and 'F' for floor (bench)--it would be helpful if that were made a bit clearer during the booking process. The studio is dimly lit, which actually works in your favor--if you mess up, no one will really notice. The class moves at a fast pace, so if you're new, I recommend picking a spot with a clear view of the instructor. I chose a station in the back and found myself a bit lost at times, but I just kept moving! The workout is split into two parts: halfway through, you switch between bag and bench. It's a great full-body workout, and definitely worth it. For your first class, gloves are provided, but after that, you'll need to bring your own.

Been going here for a little over a year now and I feel like I've gotten enough Rumble to leave an…read morehonest review. This place is ON IT. Rumble shares its locations with many others in a crowded shopping center so plan accordingly, if not you'll be fighting looking for spots near the million car long Starbucks line. Staff are amazing, I am always greeted when walking in and their communications on socials is nice and quick. It's a bonus for an easy and convenient mobile app to schedule classes, cancel classes, select your spot in class and earn points! Gym is always super clean and as for the experience it's always a 10/10. Prepare to sweat buckets while in a darkly lit gym blasting some music while you go through strength training and boxing combos. Beginners to advanced these classes are suitable for anyone! Definitely a challenge at first. I think I may be a rumble fan for life. Y'all got me hooked.

I first discovered them through their Valentine's Day special (14 days for $14). At first, I thought there had to be a catch--because let's be honest, most gyms have one. But not Crowned! Everyone here is so genuine, which is exactly why I had to purchase more sessions! The classes are fun, the coaches are fantastic, and the atmosphere is unmatched. Plus, a special shoutout to Jade, who goes above and beyond for the holidays--making the experience even more special!

It truly feels like you are a part of the family here.

The fact that they offer a free trial for you to get a feel for it is exceptional as no other location advertises that.

Coach Tony is grrrreat! ;)…read more I've been going to Coach Tony's boxing classes once a week for the first 2 months, and now going 2x/week. Even going only once a week, I saw strength and endurance improvements during the 4th class. His classes are fun and it's set up so that he can give you one-on-one guidance in the ring, even if you have zero experience (like me). He'll train you at your pace to learn more combos and moves with each class. The entire class itself is a great workout with practice in the ring and bags, and floor/circuit training with varying exercises using weights, TRX, battle ropes, kettle-bells, medicine balls, etc. Members/students are also wonderful people as we encourage each other to keep going. Definitely give it a try. First class is FREE!

I've been making great strides in getting back into shape, and I recommend anybody in the area searching for a gym to try this place out.

My 13 year old daughter is testing for her Black Belt, which is an extraordinary accomplishment for her especially given that after only a four months at Inspire she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, an autoimmune disease that requires near constant monitoring. The team at Inspire is incredibly open to making accommodations for her, educating themselves about T1D, and always encouraging her to prioritize her health and to trust her body. My daughter has learned how to advocate for herself, communicate her needs, and most importantly she feels incredibly SAFE with her instructors and fellow students. We have watched her push through struggles with perfectionism and anxiety, embrace leadership roles, and gain confidence. The lessons my daughter has learned have carried through into all others of her life. I highly recommend Inspire, especially if you have a child that needs a bit more attention.
