Ronnie quickly met and surpassed my expectations. He's got a watchful eye and offers personalized technical corrections that are easy to understand and implement. Each class is challenging and different so my body and brain don't get bored. The small group of men and women are welcoming, down to earth and work their asses off. Classes are held at Self Made Training Facility and it's solid - free parking lot, clean equipment, showers and only open to people with trainers, so it's never over-crowded. So happy to have found this gem and highly recommend Ronnie to anyone looking for authentic Muay Thai training.

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!

I came to American Boxing because it was close to where I lived and I stayed (for 3 years!) because of the coaching I received. I boxed with Coach Dave for about a year before he recruited me to try Muay Thai. The rest of my time there I trained 6 days a week in both sports! I loved every second. Coach Dave is legit. He's a good trainer, doesn't take any bullsh*t, and pushes you to be your best. My goal was to advance in the sport, improve my technique, and get in the best shape of my life. And I accomplished all of those things with Coach Dave. I personally like his teaching style. He's big on technique and explaining the "why" behind it and giving you great insight into the bigger picture of what you are learning. But what I liked most is he has this ability to push me and remove any obstacles (mostly mental) I could come up with to not push myself. It's like he knew what I was capable of even though I didn't. It also helped that Dave walked his talk. He's a champion, he can do all (and more) of what he is asking you to do. For years he pushed me and for years I excelled. I was strong, slim, fast, conditioned, and had abs for days. Then, I had to move away. :-( Through the years I have trained at other Muay Thai gyms always searching for a new "Dave." Trying to find a gym and a trainer that actually TRAINS me. Not someone who just goes through the motions or puts me through an aerobic workout class. It's been years since I trained with Dave and just recently he reached out letting me know he is offering on-line training and I didn't even blink. I was training with him the very next day! I am back with my favorite trainer to TRAIN the sport I love and get back into fighting shape. I have a ways to go but I honestly don't trust anyone else to help me get there the way I trust Dave. I feel like I lost a part of me when I left American Boxing and I now have a second chance to get it back!

His behavior was rude, immature and actually quite irrational. Not sure why he would behave like that toward people who were going to be longtime members of his gym, but now that I've read some of the other reviews it doesn't surprise me at all. Don't waste your time even checking this place out. With an owner like that they'll be out of business soon anyway, and you can be sure there won't be any membership refunds when they do.
