Jose Morales Boxing Academy - Boxing gym - Boxing Near Me - Roseville, California

I've been training here for 3 months now and it has been nothing but incredible. Coach Brandon has molded me into a competent and skilled boxer in a very short amount of time. Every coach is extremely knowledgeable and always friendly. My first day I walked into the gym I was greeted with a fist bump by everyone. There was not a single person that did not greet me or made me feel unwelcome. The atmosphere is serious yet also extremely inviting. Everyone here is family and we make it known. This is home for me. read more

I truly cannot say enough good things about Jose Morales Boxing Academy! Putting my son in this program has completely changed him for the better. This is so much more than a boxing academy, it's a place where every kid is made to feel loved, respected, supported, and motivated to become the best version of themselves. Every coach genuinely cares about the kids and their progress. The program has taught my son accountability, discipline, confidence, and, most importantly, to recognize his own self-worth. From the moment you walk through the doors, you're treated like family from every single person in the building. A very special shoutout to Coach David, Coach Alex, Coach Dante, and the owner himself, Jose, for believing in my son, pushing him, and helping him see his own ability and worth.

Now this is what a gym community should really be! I decided to try something new and signed myself up for this wonderful boxing gym. To start off I must say this is my first time doing this sport and so far, it has been amazing challenges and work all together. The coaches are very knowledgeable when conducting the boxing classes and most definitely kick our butt every single time. They really hone in on the fundamentals and teach you how to improve gradually as you attend more classes. The workouts definitely get your heart rate jumping from start to finish but only 45 minutes which is perfect! They also offer a variety of class times which is great for anyone with a different schedule. All in all, from the coaches, to front desk and ownership they truly care about your wellbeing inside and out of the gym which is a beautiful thing. Being a former college athlete and seeing this type of inclusivity has given me such reminders of what I miss from a collegiate level. Regardless of where you start, your age, or current fitness level everyone including the members are very helpful and kind. You will not regret signing up for this gym! read more

I have been coming here since 2018 because I wanted to find something that I could do on my own when all my friends didn't want to do anything.

They have a shower in the female bathroom if you need to get in a workout before work and then freshen up. They also have a small weight area with leg press, squat rack dumbbells etc. and if you need help coming up with something just ask a coach and they'll be more than happy to give you something Don't be afraid to pop in and give it a try for a new experience, it'll change your life. read more

Great gym if you're looking for old school coaches that understand the science of boxing. Coach David is the BEST! He trains boxers of all ages and is wonderful with kids. He trains my 4 year old and keeps him engaged and interested. He looks forward to seeing Coach David - they have a great connection. Boxing is an incredibly dynamic sport and to find someone that truly understands that does not happen every day. My kiddo is coming from a bloodline that produced an Olympic Gold Medalist and world's top pound for pound boxer so we know boxing! This is your gym if you want to learn the craft. read more

I'm a former athlete with experience in CrossFit and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I started going to this gym on November 1st, 2025, and I've really enjoyed the experience so far. The classes are well organized, and the workouts are a great combination of circuit-style bodybuilding and learning the fundamentals of boxing. Every member of the gym, no matter their age or experience level, has been fun to train with--it's truly a great community. The coaches are excellent and do a great job keeping you motivated, even when you're working your hardest. I've personally been coached a lot by Coach David since my work schedule lines up with the classes he teaches. My advice to anyone reading this: don't be nervous about trying boxing. I understand it can feel intimidating at first, but the environment and atmosphere here are very welcoming and a whole lot of fun. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment under this review and I'll get back to you read more

My son plays basketball so I was looking for some cross training. Wow, found much more than that. Now that basketball season has started, the limited training my son had with Coach David has paid off tremendously especially balance and positioning but also mental strengthening.

Let me start with ITS A 10/10. Initially I was intimidated to walk into a boxing gym with no boxing background. Overtime I realized that it was just too expensive for me. By time I started here dropped out of college in Pittsburgh, PA. Moved to Foresthill, CA and got a membership here. The drive was about 45-60 min one way. I believe I was paying $200/mo. It was worth it for me to come and train with Mendoza and Alex. I felt my confidence boosting and really looked forward to coming in. I even started listening to the Podcast on Spotify. This was when I was single. I now have a wife and 2 kids. I will always be appreciative of my time and the genuine care EVERYONE had when walking in the building. I'm talking from the front desk lady Kelly to work out partners and trainers. One day I hope I can afford to bring my family here. I'm not sure if anyone will read this but THANK YOU. I felt like I was a nobody after dropping out of college. This place gave me a spark to invest into myself & that is why I'm writing this to you. Jose you are an inspiration to me and I think about this gym often THANK YOU! read more

I'm very glad I joined this gym 6 mos ago. Enrolled in a 3 mos program with 3 classes a week, and upgraded to unlimited membership afterwards. The coaches keep you motivated with a variety of different lessons and excersices, no two classes are the same. The gym runs classes all day to fit your schedule, there will always be a class available at a time that works for you, with Saturday AM mitt class being the highlight of the week. Most importantly, you get results while learning to box. If your thinking of enrolling, just do it already. Will be the best decision you make for yourself. read more

Review for Jose Morales Boxing Academy I feel so fortunate to have found Jose Morales Boxing Academy. I'm currently going through a divorce, and my 13-year-old son has been extremely hesitant to participate in any form of therapy. He's endured quite a bit, and while I was hoping to get some kind of healing process started for him, he absolutely refused anything that looked or felt like therapy. When he expressed interest in boxing, I signed him up for private sessions--and we were paired with Coach David Melgoza. From the very first lesson, my son was hooked. Originally, I planned to do just a short package of private sessions and then transition him into group classes, but after seeing the impact, I chose to continue with private lessons. The difference in my son's confidence, emotional well-being, and physical health has been astounding. Coach David is encouraging, positive, firm, kind, and incredibly attentive--everything my son has been missing in a male role model. My son lights up with each word of encouragement and feels deeply motivated when Coach David challenges him. These sessions have become a highlight for my son. He never wants to miss one. He comes out of each session calm, happy, and noticeably more confident. Having a strong, positive male role model speak into his life twice a week has made a huge difference. Through boxing, my son is not only learning skills and improving his physical health--he's also bonding with his coach, learning to regulate his emotions, developing discipline, and growing in patience. Watching him focus so intently during their sessions is a joy. We are all incredibly grateful. Coach David, you are truly changing lives. Thank you. read more

Our experience with JMBA has been great - my teen son loves this gym! From the time of our initial tour to ongoing support through my son's time training, the staff and Jose have been supportive. The front office was super patient with my many questions, and they text which is an added bonus for me. The coaches encourage and challenge, as you would expect in this environment, but one thing I also love is the support we received from Jose that extended beyond boxing. At one point, my son was facing some consequences of his poor decisions, and when I discussed with Jose, he was willing to provide additional encouragement and guidance from his role as an influencer in our son's life. His convo with our son was with grace and relevance, and truly caused him to self-reflect and level up as a growing young-man. It takes a village and I am so grateful they care about the students beyond the training time. Thank you, Jose, and team! read more

My brother, Liam, has been coming to this boxing academy for a few months and loves coming here.

I would recommend this place for both youth and adult training. Definitely come and check this place out! read more

My daughter has been training with Coach David for about three months now, and she always looks forward to practice.

This place is seriously great. I'm no longer a member because life got too crazy, but I definitely want to go back. This is a legit boxing gym, not some cardio hybrid group fitness nonsense. All the instructors know their stuff but are very fun and welcoming even if you're brand new. Fair warning, you will be huffing and puffing by the end. They don't take it easy on you, but it's fun as hell. The instructors even text you to make sure you show up for practice and don't slack. read more

We have been coming to JMBA for roughly 2 months. Originally i was signing up my 5 year old daughter to stay active in the summer and learn boxing and after seeing the atmosphere of this gym i signed up as well. The first thing that caught my attention was how friendly everyone is. Anytime someone walks by you they give u a high 5 or a fist bump and say hello even if they don't know you. The coaches are top notch, very knowledgeable and they want you to learn. I was worried that my 5 year old wasn't going to be able to keep up being that she's the youngest kid in the gym but the coach said she was doing fine and to keep her in the class. She loves it now and she goes twice a week i can definitely see her progress already i can't wait to see 6 months from now. I love how coach Dante, David or Alex will help any kid with their technique during class they really show that they care and want to help each and every single kid. My daughter runs over and hugs every coach before class now which is awesome, it shows how comfortable she is with them. I highly recommend this gym for kids! Also I've been trying to go 2x per week as well and let me tell you these classes are no joke they kick your butt, but you feel great after!! It's not just your typical cardio boxing gym you actually get great work on techniques and the coach will come by to every student and make sure they have each movement, footwork or combo correct. With all that said we love this place and highly recommend it!! read more

Amazing Coaches and community! As a single parent I needed a space that could work with our busy schedule while knowing I could bring my son with me. Immediately after I joined, he hung out with some of the other kids while I was able to attend class. The group classes are challenging but you have the support from Coaches and other classmates. After going from 1-2 days of light cardio on my one, to now, after joining JMBA, 3 days boxing class and 2 days-1 mile runs, I'm more motivated and consistent with my health and wellness. Shoutout to all the Coaches and staff for creating a humble, fun and dedicated space/programs. read more

Whether you're looking for a gym, a stress relief outlet, or a community, you NEED to be a member at Jose Morales Boxing Academy. I moved out to Sacramento a few months ago and had been looking for a gym to help me stay in shape for my job and meet some people since I didn't know anyone in the area. I had previously taken some boxing classes during college and grad school, so I figured I'd try taking up the sport again. I looked at a number of boxing and MMA gyms all over Sac, Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Yuba, and Marysville, but I always found myself returning to the JMBA website. Finally, I figured it was time to visit the gym in person. Even during my initial visit, I felt like I was home. Every person I encountered was welcoming, kind, and helpful. The space was full of life and the facility was well-maintained. The staff knew the name of every single person who walked through the door (and there were a TON), and were patient with all my questions. Yesenia clearly explained the programs, pricing, and schedule to me so I knew exactly what I was signing up for and what I could expect during my introductory class and subsequent classes, and Dina and Kelly at the front desk were always checking on me during my visits to make sure I was enjoying my experience. When it comes to the coaching staff, you will NOT find a more knowledgeable or professional team than Jose, David, Alex, and Antonio. It is so evident how passionate they are about what they do because of the energy and enthusiasm they bring to the gym--whether it's 4am or 7pm. They are extremely dedicated to their craft, as demonstrated by the collaborative efforts they make to hone their coaching techniques and create unique workouts that push their athletes to be the best they can be. Even though each has their own unique coaching style, each coach knows when to hold their fighters accountable and how to motivate them when they need it most. The coaches at JMBA are simply unmatched. And as for the members, you will not find a more welcoming group to fight through a workout (or life) with. I've been to gyms and group fitness classes all over the East Coast, Southeast, and Texas. I even worked at a group fitness class gym all through grad school in Alabama, so hear me when I say: this community is special. And it's a testament to the culture that Jose and his amazing team have cultivated here. Come check out JMBA. You won't regret it. read more

The best boxing gym in the area. I would highly recommend giving them a try if you're looking for any type of boxing training. They're very accommodating for all skill levels and the owners are trainers themselves. There's a great environment here and it really shows. read more

They are the best in Placer County. We did a lot of research before picking a gym for my 10 year old daughter. They make you feel like family EVERY single time you walk in. Smiles, welcome back, call you by your first names, they remember everyone! I love it. Mari at the front desk constantly answers all of my annoying redundant questions through text and is really professional, personable, knowledgeable and is extremely prompt! GREAT GREAT SERVICE! They set realistic, achievable and challenging goals and help every step of the way. I recommend the unlimited sessions package because there is so many sessions available and my daughter never wants to leave. Jose personally texts checking in on her and gives feedback, helps with the goals and sent some at home videos for me to work with her on. I am so happy we decided to come to JMBA!! I cannot wait to see how far my kid goes with Jose and fam in her corner. read more

I can't say enough good things about JMBA. I've personally been training here for a while but what I love the most about this gym is their youth program.

My son has been a member for eight months. He recently moved into the Warrior program, and loves the training he gets. He has worked with every coach there and has had a great experience with all of them. Jose is always available and knows everyone on a first name basis.

We haven't tried any other gyms, because we have been very happy with our time there. read more

We signed my son up a few months back. He is an only child and headed into middle school next year. We wanted him to gain confidence and get some self defense skills. He has gotten all of these plus an excellent work out. It keeps him active and engaged. He loves the coaches and lessons. He is even going to try the next level which is the warrior program. I'm so happy he found a sport that he looks forward to participating in. read more

The coaches and staff are top-notch, dedicated to helping you achieve your individual goals. My wife and I attend the classes, and our kids are in the warrior program. The kids' classes and programs not only teach boxing skills but also instill discipline and promote fitness. The children's growth has been evident not only in the gym but also in school and at home. If you're looking for a summer program or a sport for your kids, I would definitely recommend checking them out. read more
