Gains coming through

This place is absolutely amazing! One of the best things about this gym is how inclusive it is. I mean obviously you come here to work out but you really get a whole package deal. The coaches here are phenomenal! They are knowledgeable, friendly, and well versed in their field. They genuinely care about you and will go out of their way to help you with any questions you have, whether it be about nutrition, workouts, or even book recommendations that will help you with personal life goals. No matter what your goal is they got you! This was my first time doing CrossFit and I was a bit hesitant because it was so new to me but Coach Ray does an amazing job in teaching fundamentals. The transition was smooth less and I felt confident in my performance, and if you have experience working out this place will also challenge you to the max! I could honestly write a six page essay about this place but I'm just gunna end with this: this gym is much more than a place to workout. When you come here, you can feel the positive vibes because people care.

If you want to get back into working out, try something new, and do things you never thought you were capable of then go to CrossFit Pledge. This isn't just a gym. It's a community. Ray and the other coaches makes you feel so safe, prepared and pumped to work out. I've been going for about 8 months and feel so much better about myself. I actually look forward to going to the gym and it's because of the people. The coaches and the members are so friendly and encouraging. Stop waiting and wondering. Go and start doing.

Thank you Pledge Fitness!

Cant express enough what a great facility!!! At Pledge Fitness you get excellent workout programming that actually yields results!Why? Because at Pledge they understand how the body works and responds in terms of exercise, stress, sleep, and nutrition. Most gyms/ facilities don't take all these factors into account which is why many people don't see results. I also love how all workouts and movements are modified for each individual. Therefor, if you just started working out, have an injury, have a goal like getting into the police academy, or are pregnant, etc., you can still get in a great workout because the coaches are so knowledge; they can adapt all movements of the day to meet YOUR needs. Some of my biggest changes have come from following Pledge Fitness' nutrition programming. Not only has their nutrition program made me leaner and healthier, but it's shown me the secret! That health is a LIFE STYLE. Check their nutrition program out. It's life changing and the program offers access to check-ins with a coach, meal layouts, and a support group. I love that the nutrition program alone can be accessed without a gym membership or you can add it to your membership. Finally, I love the environment of the facility. I've been to other gyms and they just aren't as welcoming, are super hardcore intimidating with their 100 pull-up workouts, or people are just plain rude. At Pledge you are always greeted by friendly coaches and members. People welcome you, help you, and encourage you.

I been going to Pledge fitness for about 9 months and it's the best gym I have ever been to. I joined the gym and explained to coach Ray that I had an injury, "no problem" he says , so together along with Coach Mel we worked around the injury. I can honestly say that my injury is a thing of the past . With this Gym you will definitely see improvements because it's a very well structured work out program with realistic goals and great tools to help. Pledge fitness has a variety of classes that work for every work/school schedule. They also have Jiu Jitsu classes. I hope whoever is reading this finds this hidden gem in the city of Downey, if you sign up, you won't regret it! Thank you Coach Ray & Coach Mel for knowledge/coaching.

I've always been one to drive that extra mile in search of a good gym. I recently came across this location and I have to admit I was taken by surprise. Typically bodybuilding is what I'm most familiar with; however cross training was something that has always offered that little extra twist to keep improving my workout experience. The workouts aren't "cookie-cutter" and are switched up constantly. There's always a challenge to be offered physically and mentally, the motivating atmosphere from the coaches and members is a unique experience. The strive to assist everyone in meeting their fitness goals is a sincere one from the coaches. The gym offers convenient class hours (check the schedule) and the greatest part is for those that are seeking a location to help them get started (new to the fitness scene) this is the best location for you. Long time fitness enthusiasts as well as first-timers it CAN meet your needs. In a sense this is my first time working out in a class/group setting, but by far the best experience ever. To sum it up: awesome workouts, great coaches, sincere environment. You have to check it out.

In a time when Crossfit gyms are the latest craze, it is refreshing to find a gem like Pledge! What makes this gym different?? The coaches love their job! Ray is very passionate about health and fitness. He truly wants you to be, look and feel your best. The few times I've been there I noticed a very welcoming family-like environment. Ray taught me proper technique which I have benefited from in so many ways. If you want a results and a team of coaches who truly care for you and want to see you win, Pledge is your place! Kids and Dogs are big fans of this place as well!

Super dog friendly!!  Love it

I signed my 4-year-old up for a trial class, and unfortunately, it wasn't the experience I was…read morehoping for. To be fair, we were supposed to arrive 10-15 minutes early, but we got caught in unexpected construction traffic on Firestone Road. I had planned enough time based on the normal drive, but the roadwork caused delays. I don't hold that against the academy. What was frustrating was that I never received the trial information or link beforehand. Because of that, we spent about 15 minutes after arriving getting my son dressed and ready for class, which took away from his trial time. During class, my son was trying to participate. He followed many of the instructions, sat down when asked, and afterward told the instructor that he liked the class. He was distracted by the new environment and wasn't always looking directly at the instructor while she was speaking, and we were told to come back in a month. I understand that every program has its own standards, and not every child is ready right away. However, I wish the experience had been a little more encouraging. Even if the instructor felt he wasn't ready, it would have meant a lot for a 4-year-old to hear something as simple as, "Good job," or "Thanks for trying." Instead, the conversation ended without any positive encouragement, which was disappointing. A first class should help build a young child's confidence, even if the recommendation is to wait before enrolling. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling that the program just wasn't the right fit for our family.

Academy's coaches are all extremely friendly and patient when breaking down the various techniques…read more Beginners Kickboxing classes are held on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday @5pm for 9-13 yrs old

Some days Damian is challenged physically, and other days the challenge is learning discipline, listening, following directions, and pushing through when something isn't easy. As a growing boy with lots of energy, having a place where he can release that energy and stress after a long day at school has been so good for him. Coach Sam has so much patience with the kids and truly knows how to teach them. He pushes them to learn, encourages them not to be afraid to try, and helps build their confidence and self-esteem along the way. He knows when to be patient and when to challenge them, and you can tell he genuinely cares about their growth. We're very grateful to have Coach Sam and Team Mata as part of Damian's life. I highly recommend Team Mata to any parent looking for a place where their child can learn jiu-jitsu while also developing discipline, confidence, and resilience.

This is a fantastic learning community with amazing instructors and an incredible professor. There is a great group of students of various levels that are mindful of your comfort as well. It is a great setup and they give you a bunch of floor time on the mat to roll after direct instruction. You cannot find a better studio, community, and schedule than this. So happy to be on my jiu jitsu journey here!

This boy then proceeded to slam my son dome down with so much force he hit the back of his head against the floor mat. The advanced boy then put my son in a choke hold, My son was terrified and began to cry while he was being choked. As a concerned parent I stepped in to speak with the teacher that was supervising them and tell him to stop this immediately, my son is a beginner and he shouldn't have been placed with someone as advanced as the other little boy. When I asked him why would they put a beginner student with an advanced student, the teacher replied with, "this is how they learn." The anger I felt at that moment was so strong, how can a child be expected to learn such advanced fighting maneuvers when he is getting knocked down at every try? The answer to me seems like they wanted them to fight because my son is tall for his age, they were using this as mini fight club due to my sons size instead of a teaching moment. My son is only 5 and just starting this program. He should have never been put to "fight" with a child that has been training in this for months. The blatant disregard by the teachers to seeing my son terrified and crying is infuriating. It truly shows that they do not care for the safety of our kids. I quickly went to my son and the other boy and told him to let my son go, I grabbed my son and went home. I will not be bringing my son here again, they do not care about kids safety and will stand there doing nothing while your child cries and is full of fear.
