    Me and Coach Eric
    Vanessa S.

    I have been coming for 3 months and I absolutely LOVE this gym! I was on the fence about committing to a gym and the price but I quickly fell in love and my excuses evaporated. The owner Jake was so friendly and inviting. I got a newcomer special and I fell in love with the workouts and the people and I happily stayed. I normally shop around first but this time I never went to another gym and I don't regret it at all. I'm so happy here! I love the Olympic weightlifting classes with Eric on M & W evenings. I have learned so much technique and I'm getting better and stronger with a lot of individualized feedback and one on one care in the classes. I absolutely love the other CrossFit style classes. They kick my butt in a good way and I'm motivated to work hard every time. The coaches always make a personal connection and give custom tips throughout the class and yell out motivating things to me individually. It's a small detail but makes a big difference in how I push myself. I love classes with Jake, Thomas, Noe and Coach P. They all give great technique and pay very close attention to the details of your progress. I consider myself a shy introvert and this gym has been completely welcoming- both the teachers and students. If you're wondering about difficulty (and know nothing about Hyrox or CrossFit like me,) then if there was a scale between easy workouts and super crazy fitness trainer and influencer level where the workouts are 3 hours, this is a nice inbetween. I personally find the workouts challenging but always within reach. But they definitely push you! It's great, I love it! A cool feature is often they organize the workouts as parter based so you get motivated alongside someone on a similar level. Also I really love that they have three locations and I have used all three to fit my scheduling needs. Not a lot of gyms in Costa Mesa have that perk!! They also have social mixers too. So this week I'm going to their evening holiday party and I'm really excited. This gym offers it all & you really don't need to try anywhere else.

    May The Vibe Be With You! Can you feel it? No, it is not "The Force." It is "The Vibe!" What is "The Vibe?" Recently, I moved. I had to find a new gym. This is particularly difficult because I have been doing crosstraining with my 14 year old since age 6. Yup, she knows the Crossfit and olympic movements. She smokes me at WODs and can pump out 100 unbroken double-unders in the middle of a workout. Not many dads can say they workout daily with their daughter. She is on a swim team to boot. Finding an awesome gym was critical. She definitely wants a vibe. This is not just a gym. The workouts are heavily influenced by the coaches and the athletes. There is an upbeat setting with a hint of Boston Camaraderie.100% free of intimidation and 100% Positive People. These workouts are Fun! Add in sweat, great music, barbell lifting, weight dropping madness and two dashes of dance club-street dancing fun and you have "The Vibe!" Fun and experienced male coaches and a stealthy strong female coach make the daily workouts different, exciting and something to look forward to all day long. May "The Vibe" be with you!

    I am a member of Vibe, my 2nd home, since 2020. The coaches care about your athletic progress and you as a person. I have grown as an athlete and matured socially because of the Vibe community. I recently received my CF-OL1, being inspired and trained by Coach/owner Jake and Coach Noe. I HIGHLY recommend this box for beginners and seasoned athletes. Why not?! The first three sessions are on the house. Private coaching is available also. Look forward to meeting you soon!

    I LOVE IT HERE! Been coming for 3+ years and I have had an exceptional experience at this Shamba Vibe. The coaches were knowledgeable, supportive, and created a motivating atmosphere. The diverse workouts kept things challenging and engaging. The facilities are well-maintained, and the sense of community among members added to the overall positive environment. I highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals in a welcoming and effective setting.

    And for my 300th review... I give you Crossfit Vibe. "I see burpees." Doh!! I'm so happy I re-started my fitness lifestyle with crossfit. Since signing up in early 2013, I've seen a lot of fitness improvements with a 3-4days a week schedule (on top of other activities and "cleaner diet"), met a bunch of cool and fitness minded people and learned so many new techniques. I always look forward to coming here, it's never a dull moment. The feeling of getting through a tough workout is like no other. This gym (aka box) offers a great crossfit program, morning bootcamps and private training as well. The coaches are very knowledgeable and friendly. They will also push you to your limits and encourage you to do your best, while emphasizing correct form. The facility is nice and roomy with great equipment. Cold water, clean small towels and two showers are also available. From the beginners to elite fit, You'll get a great workout with focus on form and technique. Crossfit is definitely a wake up call and pushes yourself to be better. CFVibe is also a Crossfit Games affiliate so if you want to challenge yourself and sign up for the games, they can host and verify your WOD score. No excuses... You will get sore, you will see results. Check out the website.

    This is a great gym and a great community. The coaches are experts and will work with you based on your goals. They take pride and enjoy when the athletes benefit from their coaching. Also, the gym and its high-quality equipment are kept very clean and organized. I can't say that about most gyms. The shamba vibe community is great and very welcoming. About once a week we all go out as a gym (coaches and athletes) and get a meal together after a workout. I've been there since Jake took ownership nearly 2 years ago and have only good things to say. Additionally, there are wrestling and jiu jitsu classes and open mats for all age groups. The mats are high quality and kept very clean. The Shamba Wrestling Academy has various alumni wrestling at the collegiate level now. Top quality program.

    I had such a great workout here!…read more There were two groups: one on punch bags, the other on weights. Halfway through the class you switch places and get a great core & agility workout in! The instructors are clear & attentive, they really watch the class for newcomers and even do the workout with you while also being hype man for the whole class! Very impressive. The weights portion also has projections of the weight lift reps or the cardio moves in rotation. Very organized. The workout includes glove rentals, locker rooms, clean bathrooms, & towels.

I was going to a different studio and wasn't expecting to want to become a member here, but the intro sold me! Courtney and Mitch gave a thorough tour, and her class was so much fun! What really drew me in was the floor area - the class alternates between the bags and strength training so I felt like I was getting a well designed, comprehensive workout. The studio is brand new and super clean, I feel fortunate to be a founding member! In addition to Courtney and Mitch, Brian and Manny are awesome! Manny has been teaching members only clinics (free!) the past two Sundays and I've really enjoyed being challenged and learning from a professional in a small group setting! I also met Julia and Rumble's resident pup, Theo today. Everyone has been so kind, helpful and are truly starting to make it feel like a community. Rumble is located on the Peninsula on Newport Blvd near the pier. There is both street parking (which you have to pay for) and garage parking (which Rumble validates). They sell everything you need - gloves, wraps, workout attire and more. They offer complimentary towels, filtered water and lockers. You can also rent gloves for $3 a session. Booking classes is simple on the app, and you have the opportunity to choose your bag and bench. The studio is still new so classes aren't too full yet, but I feel like it's going to be picking up soon. They still have a ton of free intros going on and a bunch of specials for newcomers. Check it out! You won't regret it :)

    Kickboxing: I've trained at other gyms before, and one thing I really appreciate about Coach Haley…read moreis her consistency and reliability. She's absolutely great! She's always there pushing us to improve, which honestly makes a huge difference compared to coaches I've had in the past who weren't consistently present for classes. Her routines are also really well put together. She mixes in new combos here and there, so there's always something new to work on. She's very knowledgeable and experienced in what she teaches. Boxing: Jessie is an awesome boxing coach! He's very attentive, walks around the room to make sure everyone is using proper form. Great combos and I like that he suggests options to add a strike in the middle of the combo routine. Jessie exudes an incredible energy that motivates you to push out your best efforts in every class. Also shoutout to both coaches for good selection of music and always ending each class with stretching. I really appreciate that they take the time for recovery and not just the workout itself.

    UPDATE: SINCE I CANT REPLY TO JOE. I HAD TWO PHONE CONVOS (BOTH RECORDED -- WHICH I AM SUBMITTING…read moreTRANSCRIPT TO BBB TODAY) CONFIRMING THAT I ASKED TO CANCEL. THE EMPLOYEE SAID -- "YUP YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO!" DO NOT SIGN UP HERE!!! THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT ARE DEALING WITH JOE ON NOT BEING ABLE TO CANCEL. ON TOP OF THAT-- HIS RESPONSES ARE UNBELIEVABLY CONDESCENDING. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO TRAIN. I canceled my membership in writing on January 26, 2026. A1 Boxing responded to my cancellation with: "Got it! Get back at us when you're available again." I also followed up by phone and was told the membership had been canceled. Despite that, I continued to be charged for approximately seven months after the cancellation. When I discovered the charges, I contacted them, provided the written documentation showing the exact date I canceled and their acknowledgment of it, and asked to be reimbursed for the charges that occurred after cancellation. They refused to refund me. For me, this is not about whether I used the gym or whether I changed my mind. I canceled. They acknowledged the cancellation. The billing continued anyway. I gave them an opportunity to correct it directly, and they chose not to. I now have to escalate the matter through my bank and the appropriate consumer-protection channels simply to recover money charged after a documented cancellation. I would not recommend signing any recurring membership agreement here without carefully monitoring every charge and keeping written records of any cancellation request.

    A little over a decade ago, I discovered that kickboxing was my spirit workout. It's the only…read moreworkout that I always look forward to doing, consistently, over and over again. And movement/exercise is so important, especially for me dealing with young-onset Parkinson's disease. So when my favorite kickboxing studio closed last summer after having been my fit fam for almost 10 years, I was on the hunt for a new kickboxing/boxing gym. A couple of months ago, I happened to notice Title Boxing Club as I was driving by. I took the free trial class and immediately joined. And I've taken 24 classes in the last six weeks. They offer both regular boxing and kickboxing classes to a wide range of members: I have seen students to working professionals to retirees. And while each class is paced with distinct intervals, you can punch and kick at your own speed and at your own power level and modify as needed. The classes are taught by some of the friendliest, funnest, and most approachable coaches you'll ever meet. I think I've taken classes with all but one of the coaches (my schedule hasn't lined up with Coach Oleksand's schedule yet, but I'm hoping to catch one of his classes sometime soon), and each coach has their own personality and expertise, which they bring to their classes. Coach Mike is great with those new to boxing/kickboxing. Even though I'm pretty experienced with kickboxing in general, I find his detailed instructions helpful reminders to maintain proper form as my dystonia and dyskinesia try to take me down. (Not today, Parkinson's MFers!) Mike patiently explains and demonstrates each punch and kick and reminds everyone to be safe and to modify and take breaks as necessary. But don't underestimate him just because he's a nice guy; his class will kick your butt without you knowing it kicked your butt until after it's done kicking your butt. All while he's low-key zen-like congratulating you on a job well done and kindly reminding you to stay hydrated. Coach Marcus has a lot of cross-disciplinary expertise and stresses the importance of defensive boxing. In his class there's a focus on light footwork, slips, and rolls. Marcus also sometimes incorporates aspects of yoga and tai chi into his class, which is so cool to me as it juxtaposes smooth, flowing, grounded movements with the sharp jabs and quick punches of boxing, showing how strength and power can be fundamental in each of these disciplines which work well with and complement the other. Coach Diego is the ultimate cheerleader of the club and has a perpetually huge warm smile on his face because he's always genuinely thrilled to be there. You can clearly see how much passion he has for, and fun he has with coaching boxing and kickboxing. You can't help but to also smile with him; even me with my resting-workout-face, I can't not smile when he gives me a fist bump. It's especially appreciated after his super high-energy class when I'm wiped out. I'm old, he's young, and he reminds me of when I used to have that kind of energy. Coach Emmanuel is very good at pushing you that extra bit more than you think you can do. You don't think you can do it, but you do end up doing it and then you feel great about it. How does he do this? One word: "EXPLODE!". That's right. Whenever he yells out "EXPLODE!" you do a pre-determined set of moves in a quick, explosive manner at maximum power. It could be at 15 seconds, 10 seconds, 8.5 seconds, 3.141592 seconds, who knows? Or it could be back-to-back-to-back-to-back until you think your arms will fall off but you keep going anyway until you finish the complete drill because it was so damn fun and you love a good challenge and Pavlov or something like that. Off the floor he's got such a kind and calm demeanor and is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. The front desk staff are also wonderful. They greet you by name when you come in, are happy to help you with anything you need, and are just all-around positive and encouraging. Shout-out to Ina (manager and the first friendly smile you'll see most days walking into the gym), Cierra (she was the one who signed me up. When it was time to give her my credit card, I realized I'd left my wallet at home. I told her I'd run home real quick to get my wallet and be right back. On the way home I laughed because I realized that sounded like a stereotypical bad line to dump a business and that she probably was thinking "yeah, right, lady." I think she was surprised I actually came back within 5 minutes.), Abby (she greeted me by name the first time we met. How did she know? Is that a superpower?), and one other girl I saw one time I came in but sorry I didn't catch her name. They make me happy to show my face there every day. If you're curious or on the fence about boxing or kickboxing, come try out Title! At the very least, you'll get a (first time is) free fun and effective workout. Or maybe, just maybe, you'll discover your newest favorite sweat therapy.

    This location was more than just a boxing gym to sweat and be on track with your fitness. This gym…read morelocation created friendships and strong mentor/mentee relationships; observed thru the simple hellos, to the enthusiastic coaches, all the way to the determined members.

There's community, there's love and more than anything there was compassion with the sport and with one another.
