Carlsbad kickboxing club is an amazing combat gym in a great location in Carlsbad near the beach…read moreand downtown area. Pros: I have been at this gym for over 3 years and the things that keep me here are the coaches and the consistent people who train here. The coaches are very knowledgeable and experienced in boxing and Muay Thai and spend time to really help any one of all levels. If you're new or experienced, you will be able to get a great workout and practice in, building your skills whether you plan to compete in the ring or learn for self defense. They have a great weight room here that has everything you need to get a great lift in. Free weights range up to 100lb dumbbells and plenty of bars for squats, bench, deadlifts and stationary cardio treadmills and bikes. They have 3 bathrooms as well as a sauna for higher paying members. The staff behind the desk are also very helpful and friendly! Cons: Since I started here at the gym, prices were very reasonable ranging from $120 - $160 depending on if you do a year contract ($120 ish), 6 month contract ($140 ish), or month to month ($160ish). Note that prices may have changed since I've started but if you obviously plan to stay, definitely do the year contract to get the best bang for your buck and plan to come in at least 3 times a week to get your moneys worth. They offer private lessons too but can range from $90-$100 a session depending on if you buy a single session or a bundle. They are amazing ways to learn even more than you would in class but aren't always for everyone. Verdict: This gym is a great boxing and Muay Thai gym with plenty of options for beginners to experienced fighters. Go here if you live nearby!

We all trained at another academy in Oceanside and we are shocked at how much better Excel is! A great "mom and pop shop" here in Oside for sure. Professor Michio and Coach Kidd are awesome with the kids because they also have a child in their program. They have the utmost patience and will never react negatively toward a child. If you have kids and are looking for a quality program choose Excel! I can say with complete confidence my children have great role models now to continue on their jiu jitsu journey. Excel has Gi, No Gi, Family Gi, takedown and boxing classes as well as seminars to expand on certain concepts to help build up your arsenal. Everyone here is friendly and helpful at guiding you to learn concepts and get your reps in correctly. Free 3 day trial to see if it works for you or your kids. Great thing too is your allowed to watch the classes and watch your kids grow!

This time around I wanted to find an instructor that was patient with beginners and could articulate the lessons in a way that anyone at any level could comprehend. Maz is just that. He is a super intelligent being who adapts to the individual he's working with. Over the last 9 months I've improved my boxing skills and Maz always is sure to change things up and throw in challenges to enable consistent and continued growth. Aside from the wide variety of combat sports, Maz also offers healing sound baths, cupping sessions, and AMR/RMR testing through PNOE which has taken my fitness to a whole new level. Most importantly, I love the community. The gym has heart and soul, and is a safe place all individuals to come and be themselves. I've never felt judged. Not mention there are two precious dogs that brighten up the atmosphere anytime you walk in door. This place is my home. Thank you Maz/Zenith Active!

They have a website so I emailed them, but never heard back. Meh, ok...no big deal. I called but the voicemail doesn't match the name of the establishment...but I did receive a voicemail and then a text from someone named Johnny (there are two Johnny's at this place so I'm not sure which one I texted with). We exchanged a few texts and I told him what I was looking for- boxing training/classes and I wanted to check out/watch a class...and he told me to come in on Monday at 5pm or 6pm. So, I went in at 4:50 on Monday...lo and behold....there's no boxing until 6pm, so I have no idea why I was told to come in at 5pm. Anyway...I hung around for a bit, spoke to Johnny (not sure if this was the same person I texted with), and received a class schedule. I was sort of sour on this place after that, but decided to give it a shot. Let me rate the class- the class is good. Coach Johnny (not the person who I spoke to about membership) ran the class and it was a solid boxing technique class. Having been in the fitness industry for years prior to covid, there were a few things concerning to me...like no cool down or stretching after class and no safety cues during the class...but I don't think most people would notice it. Newcomers are separated from the main class but once Coach Oliver saw I had experience, he told me to join the class. Membership is 125/m which is on par with other speciality training centers. I ultimately decided not to join for several reasons- while their paperwork to join was pretty standard like release of liability, 30 days notice to cancel....all standard....there was no option to 'pause' your membership for a medical reason. Also, the area surrounding the club gets sketchy at night. I wouldn't feel comfortable walking to my car after class alone after the time change. My search continues.....

What a great gym! I was in town and decided to come in for a BJJ class. I paid for a day pass but…read moreonly had time for one class - so many class options each day! I wish I had had time to take more classes. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. As a woman, it feels a bit daunting walking into a BJJ class, but I felt at home and at ease almost immediately. The gym is clean; I loved the access to locker rooms and although I didn't use it, loved that they have a sauna available in the women's locker room. The class format was easy to follow and the instructor (Ricky) did a great job explaining the technique and giving feedback as he walked around. Thank you to Lauren for the warm welcome and tour when I arrived, and to all the "regulars" for helping me feel right at home!

I was able to drop-in on the 6 AM and 7 PM Jiu Jitsu classes. I had reached out via Instagram and…read moregot a response quickly. I arrived at the gym, and signed a waiver and paid a drop-in fee. To my surprise, the fee was for a day pass with access to all classes (not a class fee). This gave me the desire to want to come back later that day to get in another class. The morning class was taught by coach Jonathan, there were about 10 people in attendance. Class consisted of warm ups/stretching, techniques, and live rolls. The night class was taught by Coach Geo. As he was greeting everyone he was familiar with, he shook my hand and greeted me as he didn't recognize me (thought that was really cool of someone who is so accomplished within the sport). This was a much larger class with about 40-50 people in attendance. Class consisted of warm-ups, techniques and live rolls. This academy has more than just Jiu-Jitsu for those who like to cross train in other martial arts or strength & conditioning. It was a solid day of training. Thank you for allowing me to drop-in and I would love to return again!
