Review long over due I had came in here along with my brother Ernie Since he was already attending I boxed at alliance for years with their amateur team However what I loved about BBA was that they had started teaching me from the start Where I came to realize what real coaching was And how I had so much to learn when I thought I knew so much because I had spent years sparring I could see what coach was doing with his kids and how he was teaching them Seriously perhaps the best gym I seen in San Diego for boxing as far as learning I think this is a gym where if your willing to put in the work and you want to box not just play around to lose weight You will get to learn a lot more than many other places will teach. Great place I just couldn't stay because at the time I had like 15 hour work days read more

Great trainers, gym environment is also great. Anybody looking to train boxing in San Diego should most definitely check out Bound Boxing. Coach Medina will bring the absolute best out of you. read more

If you are looking for competitive boxing, I would definitely check this place out. The owner Juan is no joke. He will take you where you want to go, if you put the work in. I witnessed the training myself and was super impressed. read more

This is the place to be if you looking to learn the sport of boxing or you want to compete this is the place. Coaching staff are very helpful they will work with students 1 on 1 and teach the sport. read more

Bound Boxing - JR Olympics @ Bound Boxing Academy - Boxing Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Worst experience at a boxing gym ever. Went in today to watch a friend spar, who was told by an employee a few days prior, that he could spar just by signing a waiver. I also wanted to check the gym out, to see if I'd be interested in joining. The man at the front desk (I'm assuming was the owner) was extremely rude, and told me that no one was sparring besides his people, and that I couldn't watch. When I asked again if I could at least check the place out and spectate, he told me to read the sign, and demanded that I sign up or leave. Mind you, there were parents with their children spectating. It was very clear that he did not want me there. This guy lost two potential customers today. read more

If you're looking for a place where you or your children can learn self defense skills or some type of boxing skills - THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU!!!! This is only the place for you IF you're looking to go pro. My only issue with this gym - is that you should be made aware of that when you first buy the membership not after the fact. No one will train you're child unless he's going pro, so therefore be ready to just be standing around the gym (just hanging out by yourself). Staff is not knowledgeable - does not what the gym has to offer, so don't look to obtain any information from them. Do NOT buy the Groupon either. A few friends also ran into this problem. read more

I believe this Gym does a lot for Southern San Diego. There isn't much to do for kids in this area Bound Boxing not only hosts events but gives kids a sense of purpose. Being part of a team give these future leaders a sense of pride. Good job love the events like to attend another one sometime soon. I photograph a lot of events and this Gym hold a real high class stature in the area. Vic Photography read more

If you're looking for a true old school boxing gym in San Diego this is your place! No attitudes, no egos, and no BS. I had done some boxing many years ago and when I saw their 1 month Groupon I decided to check out BBA. I called Juan before I went in and knew immediately that he was passionate about boxing. He was also friendly and easy to talk to. In the few minutes that we talked he spoke highly of female boxers, so I knew that this would be a good environment for me. My first day working with Carlos I realized how incredibly bad my form was and how many things I was doing wrong! I regularly work mitts and Thai pads with a trainer, but we focus on striking and power, as opposed to pure boxing form. Juan and Carlos never mentioned how pathetic I looked, but instead took the time to demonstrate perfect form and correct me as needed. They did not have to do this, after all I had purchased a Groupon and was not paying for any type of training. They could have easily showed me a thing or two and left me alone for the rest of the month, but that was not the case. A month is not nearly long enough to truly hone your boxing skills, but I definitely made improvements and got in some fantastic workouts. I really liked everyone I came in contact with at Bound Boxing. I love the fact that Juan's entire family is so involved in the sport and are always at the gym. If my work schedule was different I would become a member here in a heartbeat. I'm hoping that my son will show an interest in boxing, because I would love for him to work with Juan and Carlos. **You need to be aware that the workouts here are extremely challenging. They are not designed for someone who is out of shape. You will work hard. You will be sore. And you will probably love every minute of it! read more

Best boxing Academy ever great trainers. They don't care what a parent thinks as far as if they think their kids should be higher or lower as far as athletic scism goes. They go by what the kid is able to do not pressure from the parents I love it read more

Let me start off by saying this has nothing to do with the academy itself. I've never been so I have no opinion. My review is simply for the online store. Absolutely horrible customer service. I bought a pair of Ringside Apex gloves just to use for bag work. I had a membership to a boxing gym, but only for the month, as I was just trying it out. I have this great little mma shop near my house and also had plenty of options at the gym I was attending. I went with Bound Boxing because of their great prices. You really do get what you pay for. After about a week of waiting for my confirmation email/tracking number, I decided to give them a call. Apparently the particular gloves I had ordered were on back order... which would have been great to know since I had now 22 days to get a pair of gloves. I'm a pretty understanding guy but never in the mood for the run around, especially from a business. I decided on a different pair of gloves since I had already paid for the product. Finally after a few days of waiting around for any sign of my order being shipped I called back. This time I got hung up on and then once I finally got through I received the blame game. One person said it was the warehouse guys, another person said it was the computer system and so on. At this point I could care less as to who's fault it was, I just wanted the company as a whole to make things right and ship my gloves. During this whole time I had emailed and left voice mails regarding my order and all I ever got was 1 email back. Never a return call. I asked if there was anyway that I could get next day or 2nd day air shipping for no charge, since I should have technically had my gloves by then. I didn't feel like this was such an outrageous request, but unfortunately I was denied.. HOWEVER, did get granted free shipping for my next order. Pretty hilarious right? I decided to politely decline and do them one better. Since this company had no plans of even trying the least to keep a costumer and took no responsibility for the whole fiasco, I did us both a favor and got a refund. As a business owner myself I know how important it is to keep every costumer you have, because if the customer likes a company enough they will keep coming back. How so? Since my boxing membership I have purchased a couple different pairs of gloves, a BOB sparring bag, a speed bag and I'm always looking to add to them. read more

Bound Boxing Academy's Trainer/Coach, Juan Medina, is truly a champion training champions and he won't let you fail. The facility is beautiful and immaculately clean and very professional. Juan Medina has inspired me to draw from within and be the best I can be without feeling intimidated. I joined the Academy to get in better shape, but now am determined to learn the skills of boxing, which I believe, is the most difficult sport. Patricia Cabrera read more

Horrible place. I recommend finding another gym to go too. The staff are lazy and don't work with you. It's a big waste of money. If you're interested in learning to box or self defense. This is not the place to go too. read more

Great place, doesn't let the kids mess around (what I like best). Got my son in about 3 weeks ago (age 10) ,seems to be doing good and learning. Like his setup and the way he has his family of boxers all around the place! Those who say he only pays attention to those who are looking to go pro, I don't think so. They give good, TUFF attention to all, and more to the ones who want MORE. In my opinion I love that because I don't feel the kid who is caught picking his nose every 5 min deserves to be with the ones who are working hard to achieve their goals. Leave the slackers doing push-ups all day! GOOD JOB to coach Juan and his staff. read more

I wouldn't recommend this gym to nobody. I'm very disappointed tonight. I went to see my friend son fight. Top it off they charge $15 a person which I had no idea they charge. There was no signs in front nor on the website. There was a group of 20 of us that came specifically to watch him not others. Right before the fight my friend son opponent supposedly got sick so it end up to be no fight after all. I'm very disappointed not to watch the fight that I specifically came for. I ask the person at the door to ask the owner if I can have my money back since there was no fight and I also paid $53. The message taker told me the owner Juan was too busy and there is no refunds. To me I think it's very unprofessional for the owner not to come out to apologize to his customers. He should have handle the situation a lot better. I think Its all the money. They keep on allowing people to go in knowing it was over its capacity. This is a big fire hazard. I think you need to put somewhere that you dont give refunds on anything even watching fights!!!!!!! read more
