    I get bored with repetitive exercise, so I favor activities that involve variety, skill, and some strategy or thought. Knowing this, a friend of mine who used to do a little boxing and wanted to get back into it asked me to train with him at Vasquez Academy. The long and short of it is, the whole experience has been great. Rudy Vasquez has an excellent manner as a trainer and teacher. He looks at students individually, and is capable of training you whether your goals are about professional fighting aspirations, or just improving your fitness and learning an exciting skill. It's common to see men and women, young and old, beginner to pro level in his classes. Instruction is well directed, structured, and balanced between fitness and skill. You'll find that the teaching manner is comfortable, but still emphasizes accountability and motivation, as well as a refreshing bit of humor. I found it much easier to stick with this than any other exercise "program" that I've followed. I should also mention that while I appreciate some of the ritual and spiritual aspects of martial art, I am primarily interested in the practical aspects of it. Because of this, I've followed more of an MMA training track, learning a mix of Thai boxing, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Due to Rudy Vasquez's extensive experience (35 years among noted instructors and colleagues), he also sprinkles in some supplemental techniques that are derived from other disciplines when they are complementary to a skill you learn or show some aptitude for. I've had a lot of fun, lost 21 pounds (wife likes that one), gained some improved balance and skill, and genuinely enjoyed both the sport and art of Thai boxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, as well as the environment the Vasquez Academy creates for their training and instruction.

    Practicing kicks!

    What gym hell must be like. Didn't realize this is basically a cross fit gym combined with the…read moreworst elements of the most ghetto Planet Fitness location. People walking around shirtless, dripping sweat, stinking, in bare feet, only socks, crocs, and Teva sandles. Nasty. Old dilapidated and low quality dumbbells, only 2 old treadmills and a few of the manual treadmills, no fixed weight barbells, a bathroom falling apart with the toilet bowl cover hanging on by one hinge. No air conditioning. Hot and smelly. Humid atmosphere. Couldn't draw up a worse gym in my imagination. To me it's 1 star but I guess to cross fit cultists this is what they like. Only a few smoothie choices and no chicken wraps or anything in their nutrition bar or whatever it's called. If you know how to work out and don't need or want a trainer or group then this place is definitely not for you. They do an incredible job on marketing and must edit photos or take superb angles like a catfish on tinder. Almost thinking they pay influencers to hype this place up. Either way I'd prefer the most basic Planet Fitness or Crunch 100x over this. In fact I'd rather get chubby and not work out over having to work out in an environment like this again.
