New Ring

After the pandemic, I was up to about 280 lbs and needed to make a change. Always been tall but never been a fan of exercise -- and I absolutely hate running. But I do love to learn a skill set, so I signed up with Coach Marco. After dropping nearly 50 lbs I'm now in the best shape of my life (in my 40's!), I know how to throw a hell of a punch, feel confident and stronger mentally -- and it's all thanks to Coach Marco. He developed a routine tailored to me, always has a positive attitude, keeps a warm and inviting atmosphere in the gym, and is super dependable as a trainer. He even helped me formulate a diet regiment to carve away more of my gut and the results were almost instantaneous. He's the best trainer I've ever worked with, and the new space with the actual boxing ring is just a fantastic place to come work out. If you're looking to make a change for the better, want to build confidence, muscle, as well as drop weight, call Marco and get started changing your life. Literally one of the best decisions I ever made.

Had a ton of fun here! My coworkers and I signed up for our first class and I felt super comfortable for being a beginner.

This is an amazing boxing gym. Love their classes, they are energetic and fun. Staff is super friendly and professional. They also have a great kids boxing class, perfect to help build self esteem and stimulate their minds in a positive way.

Marco is the man. He trained me as a teenager and has really changed my game. I definitely recommend coming to this gym. He's a boss

Burbank Boxing Club is a family-oriented, positive and friendly two-hour workout class that…read morecurrently takes place on Monday and Wednesday evenings at the Burbank YMCA. My two oldest children, who were around nine and six at the time, started dropping in to BBC while I participated in other classes at the Y. Coach Steve would invite me in and I would politely decline, opting for Zumba or spinning instead. I had already decided that I wasn't coordinated for boxing and didn't want to look silly (because I looked awesome doing Zumba? Ha!). Eventually I got bored with my usual routine and decided to step outside of my comfort zone. I joined my kids and confirmed that I was, in fact, completely uncoordinated, awkward and clumsy. However, Coaches Steve and Maya are welcoming, supportive and motivating so I really didn't feel as silly as I expected to. The class starts with a good group stretch then a warm up which could be anything as members take turns leading the warm up. Next up is shadowboxing followed by jump roping before Coach selects two members to do a demonstration in the ring (sorry, no sparring at present). Afterwards, we glove up to hit heavy bags, speed bags, Bob or pair up with a partner and some focus mits. Then we grab a mat and do abs as a group before finishing off with another stretch. It's a great two hour workout at any level. The club is comprised of all levels of skill and everyone is willing to help with form and answer any questions. Keep coming and you will start to feel like family. I know I have and even though I'm not always consistent, it feels like I'm home again when I return. This is one of the best (if not the best) programs at the YMCA!

Great spot for beginners! The environment is super friendly and welcoming, making it a great choice…read moreif you're just starting out. When booking a class online, you'll be prompted to choose your station. Keep in mind that you'll either begin at a bench or a bag. I accidentally started at a bag because I wasn't familiar with the layout. While it is labeled on the booking screen--'B' for bag and 'F' for floor (bench)--it would be helpful if that were made a bit clearer during the booking process. The studio is dimly lit, which actually works in your favor--if you mess up, no one will really notice. The class moves at a fast pace, so if you're new, I recommend picking a spot with a clear view of the instructor. I chose a station in the back and found myself a bit lost at times, but I just kept moving! The workout is split into two parts: halfway through, you switch between bag and bench. It's a great full-body workout, and definitely worth it. For your first class, gloves are provided, but after that, you'll need to bring your own.

I was looking forward to this place opening and now that I've finally decided to join, I can't…read morebelieve I waited this long to try Rumble out. Spinning/cycling has been my go to for many years, but it was time to try something new or rather incorporate something different along with cycling. Rumble is the perfect addition! I feel like the setting/environment is similar to a cycling studio with the dark room, black lights, loud music, and just awesome non stop energy all around. So it just want I need to keep myself moving/motivated. I was a little intimidated at first but the instructors are super friendly and encouraging. The room is split between the bag side and the floor side (with weights). You can start the workout on either side (up to you) and we rotate during the class. So far I'm really enjoying Shannon's class and Louis's class! Can't wait to try the other instructors. They have early morning classes and evening classes to accommodate almost everyone's schedule. They provide towels and even a cool towel at the end of class. I've really enjoyed the workouts overall and look forward to class and the feeling of accomplishment afterwards! Let's get ready to rumble!!!

Coach Tony is grrrreat! ;)…read more I've been going to Coach Tony's boxing classes once a week for the first 2 months, and now going 2x/week. Even going only once a week, I saw strength and endurance improvements during the 4th class. His classes are fun and it's set up so that he can give you one-on-one guidance in the ring, even if you have zero experience (like me). He'll train you at your pace to learn more combos and moves with each class. The entire class itself is a great workout with practice in the ring and bags, and floor/circuit training with varying exercises using weights, TRX, battle ropes, kettle-bells, medicine balls, etc. Members/students are also wonderful people as we encourage each other to keep going. Definitely give it a try. First class is FREE!

When I moved to LA, I had trouble finding the right gym; either the trainers were a bit unenthusiastic, or the gym itself wasn't that great. But - I'm so lucky to have found Coach Tony and this gym! Coach Tony's been an awesome trainer; great energy and tons of patience for me. I've been making great strides in getting back into shape, and I recommend anybody in the area searching for a gym to try this place out. As somebody who hates cardio, boxing is a great way to get your cardio in without it feeling like work.

From the moment my wife, son and I walked in, Donna was welcoming and positive. Master Winkle, Master Kati and the entire team are incredibly dedicated, focusing not just on physical techniques but also on character development, like discipline and confidence. ​They offer a huge range of classes for all ages, including my 13 yr old who is loving the core martial arts program. It is truly a supportive community, not just a martial arts studio. If you're looking for practical self-defense and a place to truly grow, this is it! We've been with them for almost 7 years now. We couldn't thank Master Winkle Master Kati, Chief Donna and Chief KJ and the entire staff for making one of the greatest differences in our lives!

My 13 year old daughter is testing for her Black Belt, which is an extraordinary accomplishment for her especially given that after only a four months at Inspire she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, an autoimmune disease that requires near constant monitoring. The team at Inspire is incredibly open to making accommodations for her, educating themselves about T1D, and always encouraging her to prioritize her health and to trust her body. My daughter has learned how to advocate for herself, communicate her needs, and most importantly she feels incredibly SAFE with her instructors and fellow students. We have watched her push through struggles with perfectionism and anxiety, embrace leadership roles, and gain confidence. The lessons my daughter has learned have carried through into all others of her life. I highly recommend Inspire, especially if you have a child that needs a bit more attention.
