CMC Pro Boxing - Gyms Near Me - Venice, California

Best place to go and train most patient coaches and such a great atmosphere I'd never rather spend my money anywhere else!

Marcelo and the CMC team are AMAZING! I started training with them on the beach after feeling that my workout routine had grown stale and unmotivated during lockdown. Let's just say CMC re-energized me on a whole new level! My favorite days of the week are when I train with them; I wake up feeling excited and motivated to learn something new. It's not an exercise class, it's REAL boxing training--it just so happens to be the toughest and most fun workout of my entire life too. After just a few weeks, I'm already seeing major improvement in my strength and overall fitness. I honestly can't wait to see what a few months will do! If you love boxing, want to learn a new skill, or crave being pushed to your physical limit by athletes with real knowledge and experience, I cannot recommend CMC enough. Thank you Marcelo for making a fighter out of me! :) read more

The only boutique boxing studio I recommend, the new manager Janet is amazing! She is adding so many new wellness features - yoga, meditation classes, to look forward too! The place to go for all your boxing and wellness/ fitness needs! read more

Marcelo, Alberto, and Felix provide high level training for all boxing enthusiasts, including beginners, intermediates, amateurs, and pros. This is real boxing. Not some group class where there is very little direction and instruction. I have been coming to Marcelo for a year now and I've gone from 0 knowledge to a much more conditioned and technical boxer. However, the learning process never ends, and Marcelo Will help support that maturation every step of the way. I would highly recommend coming in and trying out a session read more

CMC Pro Boxing - Gyms Near Me - Venice, California

Have been coming here for a while for privates! Love the attention to detail and the constructive criticism I get. You really get a chance to find your flaws and improve them. The trainers are great and there's nothing like that one on one attention. Check it out if you can :) read more

CMC has the best trainers around! After a few sessions there, I really noticed a difference in the appearance of my body. I have so much more confidence now and feel much safer out and about. read more

I love coming to CMC because it is private and they focus on me. Especially with Coronavirus and other illnesses going around I feel safe. I don't feel like I'm exposed to all the germs I would be if I were at a large gym. read more

CMC, and specifically Marcelo, Alberto, and Felix are excellent trainers. Not only do I get an amazing workout, but I get real boxing instructions. After leaving each session, I am on a high! It is definitely worth your time and money. All levels of boxing feel comfortable here! read more

Can't praise CMC enough. I came to work on bettering my technique and overall boxing skill set / ring confidence. The one on one coaching is invaluable. I've progressed rapidly and my conditioning has jumped heaps too. I can't thank the guys enough. Would highly recommend for all levels / abilities. The team are a very approachable bunch of guys and are good for whatever your ambition is... whether it's going after a pro-belt, or getting in your best possible shape. It's only a matter of time until I get my chance at Lomachenko ! ; ) read more

I love that place, I feel comfortable, I have fun and I have seen quick results in my body.

The trainers are amazing. I have learned so much and feel absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to get into great shape and feel so much accomplishment with a wonderful community at CMC. read more

As an LA native and former editor of SHAPE magazine, working out has always played a pivotal role in my life. I've tried everything from aerobics in the 80s, to kickboxing, cross fit, spinning, bootcamp, mountain biking, private weight training, pilates, yoga, tennis to YOU NAME IT - I've done it all and nothing keeps me more motivated and engaged than boxing. Ok - that being established I went in search of a professional boxing gym that would teach me proper form, ensure a stellar workout, get me in shape and tailor my specific program to my ever weakening, wine drinking, carb eating post 40 body. I knew about CMC 2 years ago but didn't actually check it out until 2 weeks ago. At first, the monthly rate seemed a bit of a shock as it is definitely more expensive than any gym out there. But here's what I've come to learn. You can't compare this boxing studio to a typical gym. This is not equinox, gold's, Bodies in Motion or 24 hour fitness. This is to boxing what Johnny G was to spinning; what Burn 60 is to treadmill classes; what Billy Blanks is to Taebo, what Michael Blanks is to Drenched, what Mari Windsor is to Pilates. This is exclusively boxing. This is fitness. This is endurance training. This is one on one (sometimes 3 on 1) drills. You want a shower... go home. You want a cappuccino... go to starbucks. You want to rock your bathing suit on the beach this summer and feel confident in your skin... GO TO CMC. read more

As an LA newcomer, I wasn't sure what to expect when checking out different personal trainers in the Venice area...and I am someone who is not a big fan of gyms, however from the moment I walked into Marcelo's gym, I knew I was in. Training with Marcelo at TMR Boxing has been such a fantastic experience! Marcelo is extremely professional and doesn't give you the heavy sell. I came in for an intro session and have seriously never worked out so hard in my life! In terms of boxing, Marcelo is about as great of a coach as one could find. For the entire training session you are completely focused on the moment, as opposed to my experience with gyms where I'm lifting weights, running on the treadmill...thinking of all the stressful elements of my day...whereas, while training with Marcelo, there is no time to think of anything else. He is tremendously motivating and attentive to each of his clients. The sessions are intense, but so much fun! Marcelo pushes you beyond what you think is your limit, so you always leave feeling fantastic and accomplished. In just two months, I'm already seeing major changes in my body and loving every second of it! It's the best work out I have found yet, so much so that I now train three days a week with them. Plus, every session is totally one on one, so you have the undivided attention of Marcelo or D...who, let me tell you, don't know how to "go easy" on their clients :-) The gym is private and exceptionally clean, which goes a long way for me as well! Couldn't be happier - you MUST try it! read more

Amazing!!! I've been training at CMC Venice for over 3 months now and it has been incredible! I've lost 15lbs and gained strength, coordination, speed and endurance with the unbelievable workout that is boxing. Marcelo and his staff are encouraging, knowledgeable and friendly and make you feel comfortable in what can be an intimidating sport. They know their stuff and know how to motivate you! The facility and equipment is clean and they provide towels and water which are life savers. I just had my first foray into sparring with Marcelo this morning! Four rounds that I won't soon forget! If you are looking to get in shape both mentally and physically and have some fun while doing it I can't recommend CMC enough. Just jump in and give it a shot...Less Talk More Action! read more

I got into fitness boxing awhile ago but my brother told me my technique wasn't good. I came here and started doing privates 1/wk and doing Pilates reformer 2-3/wk. Boxing gives me a full body workout just like the reformer but adds cardio. Also, I'm supes scared of bulking up bc I'm short but I'm rly just using my hips & core rather than muscling the punch. Hands down way better here than ClassPass boxing classes. read more

I LOVE BOXING! And have done a lot of research on boxing gyms on the Westside. Train Me Right is the only one in Venice with a boxing ring and great boxing instruction. Marcelo trains everyone. from celebrities to fighters. to people who have not stepped into the gym in years and want to lose weight. He tailors each workout to their ability. I encourage any and all boxing and fitness lovers on the west side to check out this boutique boxing gym! read more

I love this studio because they really perfect your technique and you know you are getting the best training! They cater to you and show you your progress with assessments. They give you a great value because memberships include additional semi privates and they accommodate your needs here! read more

As real as is gets... Work out like a pro without having to get hit by a pro.. Next level work out for every skill level. As an avid surfer, multiple sport athlete, nothing compares to the intensity of the CMC Pro Boxing work out. It leaves you wanting more, the trainers are knowledgeable, facilities are clean, and the atmosphere is fantastic. read more

A bunch of dishonest, unorganized, rude people. I decided to join the gym because I wanted to try something new, and their location on Sunset Avenue looks cool. I did a trial session, and liked it. I talked to my trainer and asked if I could schedule my sessions with him and which days he would be in that location. We agreed on two training sessions with him per week. For me, I explained, it was important to train always with the same person so they could have a better sense of my progress and what I needed to focus on. He said "sure, that makes sense." I bought a $700/month subscription, way more I ever spent for fitness, but I thought it was worth it. I was instructed to call to schedule my second session. I did, and it took 3 phone calls to get an appointment: they would tell me they didn't know if my trainer was going to be there or not. The person at the reception finally gave me a session at the Sunset location, and when I eventually got there it was closed. I called to inquire what was going on, and I was told that I had misunderstood (all 3 phone calls had been focused on finding an appointment for the Sunset location) and that the session was actually at the Lincoln location. When I arrived there, my trainer wasn't there either. Someone who was training there offered to train me for an hour. I declined. I was later told that I had misunderstood the whole thing and that $700 a month did not guarantee that I would have a trainer, only that I would go to the gym and see if anyone was available to train me. For an arrangement like that, $700 sounded outrageously expensive, so I asked for a refund. I was told I would be given my money back within 30 days. 50 days later, I have not received my refund. I tried calling Bernie, the manager on the phone, and he told me he didn't want to waste any time with me. So here I am. I gave them $700 for a training I never received and on top of that, I have never been treated this bad by a business. To me, that's what fraud looks like. read more

Marcelo's method of teaching/training and the environment in his gym are second to none. When my doctor told me I needed to lose 30 pounds, I began looking for a fun training routine that I would be likely to stick with and get results. I searched yelp and found Marcelo. I reached out, he responded promptly and I've been his client for two months now. Not only did I lose 15 pounds so far (which I expected), but I can honestly say that I haven't had so much fun since playing basketball in college (I'm 38). The training and instruction is seamlessly intertwined making the hour long sessions seem like 20 minutes. I'm totally exhausted at the end of each session but feel invigorated and confident. The gym is small but not too small. There is never more than one other person training at the same time. The coaching is professional! It feels like Freddy Roach or Emmanuel Stewart is working with me. That said, it's not overwhelming. The first few weeks I felt awkward and uncoordinated, but Marcelo's instruction have lead me to feel like an athlete again. I'm so glad I made the decision to work with him. The sessions are so much more engaging (especially the sparing sessions with Marcelo.... NO JOKE!) and rewarding than lifting weights, spinning, circuit training or running on a treadmill. Lastly, I really like Marcelo's other clients. I bump into them before/after my sessions. Everyone is successful in their careers, committed to fitness and supportive of each other. I've already recommended Marcelo to colleagues and friends.... read more

CMC has a strong community, committed trainers and a motivating environment to constantly push you past your limitations. This is the best investment I could have made and it has transformed my life. I am grateful to thier staff and trainers. Lee is the coach I primarily train with and I couldnt be more grateful for his hard work and dedication. End of the day, you have to decide what is right for you, but for me I couldnt be more happy with this boxing gym. read more

I took down a review I had made a long time ago about CMC Boxing. However, the CMC boxing gym I was talking about was your other location and it closed down. Like you said to me, CMC is a boxing boutique gym. The other gym told me I could come in everyday and do all of the other things a gym would offer. So I have not been to this CMC location, but they use to have a different location that did not offer what they promised. It has changed their description and since their other location went out of business it may be better with everyone in one place and a better description. But I was a not a liar about anything I said before, you just didn't want to reveal that unfortunately your other establishment had closed down. So I added another star, if you are willing to pay and commit to 3 months of one on one for 30 minutes, including a few minutes of warmup , for 350 dollars a month, 6 times a month, then go for it. I liked the trainers from the closed gym, and hopefully it's not as claustrophobic as the closed one. It could be a great experience for you if you have a minimum of 350 dollars a month for 3 hours of one on one with a coach. This is the same company so I will edit, not remove my review. I HAVE ONLY BEEN TO THEIR PREVIOUSLY CLOSED LOCATION. I HAVE NEVER SET FOOT IN THIS ONE. My review now is just about the price and quality of workout. Good workout with boxing involved but the unit price wasn't worth it for me. The pictures look wonderful and a happy staff. Do if you have the dough I would recommend trying it out, but be aware there are big box gym sales with months of commitment. I had a Groupon to start I think, so maybe use that first, but it is a lot of fun boxing. read more

I've been boxing 6 years and 2 at CMC. It's a great gym. The trainers are experienced and very hands on. They give me great cardio workouts and sparring fits perfectly. I would definitely recommend going there and learning the techniques of the pros! read more

After a decade of yoga, I took my first boxing lesson a few weeks ago and oh, boy am I hooked. It's like yoga, Zen, salsa dancing and Planet of the Apes all in one! Marcelo knows what he's doing. His trainers Alan and DeMauriea are gifted and kind and so great to work (very complementary styles) and the time just flies by. read more

I cannot say enough about CMC boxing! You can go to any boxing gym and work up a sweat but CMC brings a lot more to the table. First there is an overwhelming sense of community and positivity at the gym. This may sound a bit contradictory. The trainers, all these guys are tough but they want you to improve. Marcelo and his team are experts and really get into the details of the science of boxing. Yes, you'll get the gravy out of your system and yes, you will sweat and yes,your endorphins will move and your aggressions will be taken out but actually it's a lot more than that. I am a five year cancer survivor at this point and I have a lot of problems due to neck radiation that has effected the mobility in my shoulders.With all due respect to the good people at UCLA physical therapy, and they are great, I've gotten more tricks of the trade about the awareness and biomechanics on how to loosen up my shoulders at CMC then I have with them. I'm taking private lessons which is expensive, but I look at it as an investment which has yielded great results. read more
