I've been coming here since the start of the year, and let me tell you, Coach Sash's classes are no joke. Mondays, Wednesdays, and now Saturdays...I question my life choices every time, but somehow keep coming back. It's a no-frills gym, which I actually love, no fancy changing rooms or spa water, just good people and solid training. The variety of classes is great (even though I've only made it to Sash's and the intro to Muay Thai), and if you stick with it, you will definitely see results. If you're looking for a place that pushes you, makes you sweat, and occasionally makes you wonder why you paid for this kind of pain, then this is it. read more

Great gym! Amazing atmosphere and coach Jake is the goat! Really recommend trying it out since there's a free trial and lots of parking here. read more

Best Muai Thai gym ever. Love all the coaches and the classes are challenging. Great for beginners and advanced students.

This the best place to learn Martial Arts. They have it all. Make sure to say to say Gin, she is the best !!!! She will get you signed up with the best plan that fits you. Learn to a bad ass in less than a month. read more

The staff here are great. Gin is on top of everything at the front desk and the coaches all bring something different to the table. I joined a year ago and it's been a great experience. My cardio and overall fitness level is the highest it's been in years. There's something for everyone here and there's lots of good comradery. Highly recommend this gym! read more

There's everything to love at SMASH! Love the equipment and facilities! Adam, a strength & fitness guru, who is a fountain of knowledge always provides impeccable recommendations. His understanding of physiology, sports performance, and ability to convey it in plain understandable english is exemplary! He has helped me hit PRs in life! Jay is a tremendous BJJ instructor. His warm, perfectly paced instruction is outstanding! He is able to convey the nuanced granularity of hand placement, weight distribution, and progression to inevitable submission the SMASH way! My ground game is way better! Shazam! And I love that you can do olympic lifts! I've come so close to looking like Lü Xiaojun (but capable of lifting much less weight)! Woohoo! The vibe is fun! The water's warm! Jump right in! (That's just an expression. No pool. But there is a growing swimming pool blue mat!) Hoorah! read more

I've taken three classes at Smash Gym so far, and it's been awesome. The location is super convenient, only five minutes from my work office, which makes it easy to fit into my busy schedule. Having prior Muay Thai experience, it's been great to get back into it. The Muay Thai classes are perfectly timed, and the workouts are intense. I'm excited to keep improving my endurance in the next six months :) read more

I have been looking for a gym that is different than your usual 24 hour fitness. I am fortunate to have stumbled across this gem of a gym. Welcome in first by probably one of the most intimidating looking guys, Coach Favian. Shortly after speaking with him and taking his classes, I found out that he was one of the most humble and down to earth people. HE WAS THE SOLE REASON I decided to sign up for smash. I always had a fear of doing any sort of kickboxing/martial arts, he really helped ease me into it. His classes are some of the best and he really pays attention to detail (fought professionally) and makes sure to correct bad habits. Every week I get better and I love kickboxing and boxing because of him. My confidence has grown so much because of him, it's rare to have a coach that's inspirational, a friend, and a teacher all in one. As for the gym itself I love how it's class oriented, so you can attend kickboxing/, muy Thai, jiu jitsu, weight training, circuit training, or all of the above!!!!!Coach Eddie is great and knowledgeable about strength/weights, and Jose has killer Muay Thai classes. You're able to also go in during open gym hours if you just want to do your own thing a couple times during the week. read more

Love the coaches and the welcoming environment. I am a beginner at weight training, and I got professional advices here.

Very friendly and helpful. Instructors are patient and helpful as well. Everyone there helps you succeed in your training

It's been about 2 years since I've joined Smash and it's safe to say that joining has been one of the best decisions I've made! The coaches and front desk are great and everyone is very friendly. Definitely check it out if you're in the area. read more

I came here mainly to learn how to lift. I'd always been hesitant to start on my own since I didn't want to injure myself. Couldn't have asked for a better place. Coach Eddie was so good throughout. Squats, deadlifts, bench, overhead, barbell rows - I'm confident in my techniques now. Although I left going to this gym a few months back, I carried on in my office gym and I'm pretty grateful I got a good community coach/community that made me love lifting. Newbies are usually paired up with other people. Even though I'm an introvert, I think this is good since you get to learn from each other and there's always someone watching over you. And also it helps to have an extra pair of hands to handle the weights. The lifting session with coach is not 1 on 1. It's more of a community system where he watches over everyone and is around to talk to / help out. read more

Too many good things to talk about this community. I would like to put this in simple and best in my way !! S - Sweat a lot M - Muscle building A - Avoid injuries SH - Stay Healthy read more

I have been coming to Smash Sunnyvale for 1 yr now. I walked in with no martial arts experience. My goal was to learn how to fight and have a place to release stress. I have been taking Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu and some Strength Training, most of my time spent with Coach Jose Palacios in the the kickboxing/Muay Thai classes. Not only have i gained experience but I have gained confidence as well. Amazing coaches, staff and community. I highly recommend this gym! read more

I joined this gym during the pandemic as it was the only gym that allowed people to move equipment outside and workout. I did a 30-day month challenge to see if I could just kick start my workout to lose my quarantine weight. Here I am now, a year and half later and I couldn't have been happier. I've signed up for a lot of public gyms like 24hr, Bally's total fitness, club one and even planet fitness but this gym is special because of the community. Coach Eddie and Coach Fabian are awesome and knowledgeable. Never did I think I'd ever compete in a powerlifting competition but with Coach Eddie's help, I got gold at my first ever powerlifting meet. The people are wonderful to interact with and it's hard to see myself switching gyms. read more

Smash gyms is amazing! I have been going here for years and love working with coach Jose, Jake and Rudi!

The coaches and classes are amazing! They offer high intensity cardio with their Muay Thai and kickboxing classes and challenging strength and conditioning that will get anyone into shape. Been going here for a few years now and love the classes, coaches and community. read more

Tis "Smash"-ing indeed. I've been going to Smash since March, 2023. After going the PT route (with no success) and almost abandoning my hopes of hoopin again with pain, I got to Smash. Right from day 1, I was able to sqaut pain-free for the first time in about 6 months, thanks to Eddie. 4 months in, I'm able to play basketball again (with reduced pain and zero weakness creeping in). I'm way stronger than I've ever been, the care and expertise i need to help me move better, and, more importantly, found family. Give it a try. You won't stop trying once you start. Oh, and kick-boxing with Coach Jose? Chef's Kiss!! read more

This gym is absolutely amazing to take out stress at the end of the day and keeps really pumped and active. The best part is also you're in a class so you're not alone with overwhelming thoughts. Everyone is super nice and supportive I definitely recommend coming here and challenge yourself and be better! read more

Went in today to try out Smash for the first time. Took Coach Eddie's 7pm strength training class and loved it! He's great at providing individual instruction in the class setting. I felt really comfortable as a beginner to strength training and felt it was a very supportive community environment as well. I'm looking forward to continuing as a regular member. read more

Been training here with my personal trainer for several months, this place shattered my perception of what a gym is. I always imagined people barely dressed, showing off and flexing infront of mirror, who does it heavier, who is more toned, all these shady cranky people drinking/taking their god knows what liquid and supplements etc while listening to their headsets or watching tv. Instead, smash gym was an academy. A school. People of all shapes, sizes and ages coming to learn and better themselves. They teach everything from jujitsu to parkour, rehab to boot camp. Everyone seems to be there because they genuinely want to be there. No one has earphones on, nor is there a tv or mindless rat wheel machines. Imagine being taught by big bros from the neighborhood. But with 15+ years of experience in martial arts/fitness. Id run into burning flames if Brian or Mike told me it would do me good. No ego, no arrogance, no vanity and no judgement. I proudly rep my smash gym shirt once a week, (i do laundry only once a week). I feel safe here in many different ways, id absolutely recommend smash gym for anyone and everyone. read more

Smash Gym during COVID has been great! I wish I found it sooner. My normal gym is an indoor boxing gym and even though they space everything out 6 feet apart, I don't feel quite safe enough during my workouts. During the summer/fall, it's been really nice doing bench presses under the tree and doing deadlights with a breeze at your back. Now that it's gotten a tad(super) chilly, I've had to layer on a few shirts, but the feeling of being at a minimum of 6 feet from others and knowing I'm outdoors calms my paranoia. Everyone wears a mask at all times and if you need a breather, you just need to step off to the side to take off your mask. Eddie's classes are fantastic! I've always done HIIT or boxing classes- never lifted weights on my own. Eddie does rounds and checks on everyone, making sure they have the correct form. And the community is really supportive- especially Amber! Everyone is super nice whether if it's letting you borrow specific weights or spotting you. But don't forget about Drew's class! Drew's class is called conditioning but it's not the normal conditioning class you'd think of. He incorporates a lot of weights into, which I appreciate. Along with the classes, they also help out with nutrition. I haven't been able to keep track of my food for this to be effective, but I know when I'm ready, it'll be there. Another bonus is that if you join Smash, there are 5 locations in the Bay you can visit: Mountain View, Milpitas, Sunnyvale, Hayward, and San Jose! read more

Amazing community, everyone is rooting for each other. Coach Eddie is extremely knowledgeable in weight lifting and fixed my form in minutes. Coach Jose is an excellent boxing coach and will guide you through your first session so you aren't left out. Would recommend Smash gym to anyone. read more

I started at Smash Sunnyvale a little over a month ago and it has seriously changed my life! I have never been much of a Gym person...let me state this a little more precise, going to the "Gym" makes me stressed. I know a lot of people who say working out is their de-stressor, well for me that is the opposite and it is mainly because I get so much anxiety over just going to the gym. Thinking to myself, "Am I doing this right?" "Do I look like an idiot?" Or wanting to use a piece of equipment in an overcrowded overwhelming gym and it's in use, and then not being sure what to do, so I just leave. That was pretty much my gym experience, and I have tried them ALL, or so I had thought... Then I found Smash Sunnyvale, this "gym" is unequivocally the best. It is much more than a Gym, I feel it is more like a community. I actually like going to the gym. Let me say that again, "I like going to the gym!" I seriously had doubts I would ever say those words and believe it. There are tons of classes to choose from, Kickboxing, Boxing, Bootcamp, Yoga, etc., I personally love Strength Training with Coach Eddie. And all the coaches KNOW their stuff, are very helpful and don't just bark orders like a drill sergeant. And not only the coaches, but everyone there is super friendly and helpful. Usually there are some veterans there, who have been there for a while (obviously this gym has loyal people for a reason) who really know their stuff too, so everyone is helping everyone and it is just a really great environment. I never thought I would say this, but I think I love the Gym now, and not just any gym, Smash Sunnyvale. If you want a Gym that is much more than the typical underwhelming, cold, figure it out yourself, environment I highly recommend SMASH Sunnyvale. read more

I've been going here on and off since 2013; more religiously over the past 3 years where i go about an average of 4 times per week. Became a lifetime member 2 years ago. This is what you want in a gym: A safe place with great instructors and a good variety of programs. You can choose from kids programs to boxing/kickboxing, to muay thai, BJJ, and various strength classes. They have a pretty good schedule where you typically have the same class several times per day. The community/people are great. The regulars/long timers who are skilled enough are very welcoming and are often times paired with new people to help them out as well. I've never seen anyone be standoff-ish. Everyone treats everyone else with a lot of respect. Pros: Instructors - Coach Jose - great at focusing and reinforcing on the basics. You WILL learn the proper technique. I love the fact that the coaches here don't let you get away with poor form. It just leads to injuring yourself and others when you don't punch/kick/hold correctly. They reinforce this with repetition and pointed instruction (even though you're in a class, they go around and monitor you and point out how to fix weaknesses). Jose uses the right balance of care and tough love. You will be pushed and I appreciate that as I truly want to improve. Always respectful as well. His Saturday morning class is great for cardio and technique (AKA great for beginners). He also teaches more advanced kickboxing classes but I'm typically unable to make those class times, but Jose teaches all levels well. Coach Mike - knows how to push you hard. His classes (kickboxing/muay thai) are where you push your cardio and build up your stamina. Definitely covers the basics, but focuses on variations of combos, with an emphasis on movement, distance, and timing. I religiously take his classes since they're all at the 630pm time frame on weeknights. You'll get power one night, then technique the next, and then burn outs on Friday with the ground and pound incorporation. Mike will also call you out on your mistakes/weaknesses until you fix them - no getting away with poor form here, which is key for me. Both coaches explain WHY you do the movements you do. It's not just blind yelling of combos ad nauseum. There's a purpose and that's why i've followed both of them for so long. My gripes: - The sunnyvale location is the OG location and the space can get packed when there are a lot of students (but they make it work). Their equipment has shown some age, but they've recently purchased new muay thai pads, so they do listen. - I ding them for not having heavy bags available like they do at the Milpitas location (which is much larger and has all the great equipment). read more

I tried kickboxing for all levels and it was fun! The 1 hr class switched from high interval movments squat jumps, jump roping, etc and kickbox techniques, finished with core exercises. The instructor gave you different movement suggestions based on intensity level that you desired. Definitely was sweating and heart rate going through class! Very beginner friendly and co-ed. However this gym lacks in sanitation. I'm not sure what type of sanitation practices they have here. The class was barefoot, but I chose to keep my socks on. I borrowed gloves and mat for the class. I had to switch off with someone in the class and he was sweating throughout. If you come here, I'd recommend bringing your own mat and gloves. It's a very small gym with mats and gym equipment on one side. There are cubbies for your personal belongings. I do like kickboxing, but I'm going to seek a cleaner gym. read more

Came here for a week trial of unlimited classes! Got to try out kickboxing which was very intense since I had only tried out cardio kickboxing classes before. The instructors were all super helpful anywhere from helping newcomers with the equipment to technique tips. On top of that, Trubates has an offer for $19 for a month of unlimited classes for first timers! The classes include kettleball, zumba, kickboxing, and more. They have different class schedules daily so check it out and it's definitely worth the $20 bill for the ENTIRE month. read more

Great gym currently training there with Froy I'm learning a lot about the right movements and postures to be using for my workouts

Smash Gyms is an awesome Martial Arts Gym that is great for individuals or families. The offer a wise arrange of arts: Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Kick Boxing, Boxing, MMA, Wrestling, Yoga, UJam, and more. All classes are beginner friendly. The instructors are all experts in their respective disciplines, so you're not going to encounter the MMA Gym converted from Tae Kwon Do like a lot of the Bay Area Gyms. A lot of the instructors and members participate in competitive disciplines. For instance, BJJ Competitions, National Judo Competitions, and even USA Wrestling events. A lot of the members are always placing in the Top 2 of any of those competitions, mainly 1st place. On the downside, which I consider positive, there's no such thing as a 2 year black belt here. In other words, you earn your promotions, plain & simple. Lastly, they have great gym equines too: squat racks, kettle bells, rings, battle ropes, weights, etc. This is a very well rounded gym which by the way, keeps their equipment and mats very clean. read more

This place is fun. I hate gyms, I've always held a grudge when I go because cardio makes me want to cry with boredom and weight rooms are intimidating, so I always relied on classes for strength training that now I know I was always doing with poor form. Eddie and Drew make weight lifting seem super easy, and they make anyone believe that they can squat 450lbs in a month! Maybe not, but you will build some muscles without injuring yourself for sure, and they always check out your form and make corrections as you lift, especially if you're super new-new to lifting like I was/am. They explain body mechanics and how each exercise is improving your form and are always willing to answer any silly question you have. Your cardio will be fun and will kick your ass if that's your thing, and it's definitely mine. You can decide if that ass kicking is literal or figurative since they have contact sports available, too. I'm stuck on this location for now because I like the environment and the people, but you can access any of their Bay Area locations. Super A+, highly recommend, must go-to gym. read more

I joined this Smash location for a 6 week challenge and I love the variety in their workouts as well as their instructors. Anyone can join in no matter what level you are and you are encouraged to do what they can safely. On top of that, the instructor will do demonstrations and help correct your form. It's not cheap by any means, but it's a good investment as it really forces one to commit to taking the variety of classes (Strength & Conditioning, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, MMA, Kettle bells, Bootcamp, Jiu-jitsu, etc.) they have to offer. I mainly attend the Bootcamps, S & C classes and loved every minute of it. The workouts induce tons of sweating and the diverse range of people attending these classes make them worth it. I love that the instructors are certified and know what they are doing. On top of that, they really helped me correct my forms when doing squats and certain lifts. The hour passes by really fast in each class as you are constantly moving onto the next exercise and I love that there is a lot of variety within each workout and class. Overall, I would definitely recommend giving Smash a try if you are looking for real workouts with supportive people / instructors, can afford it, and have a schedule that is aligned with their training schedules. read more

The new staff that has come in after the pandemic initially closed the location have really turned this place around. Both the cross fit/lifting and kickboxing areas are robust. The community here is great and friends are easy to make. I am so glad they've invested in this location again. read more

I'd been looking for a place to try out boxing and kickboxing for some time and when I came across Smash Gym's 6 week program on Facebook, it was a no brainer. Following my application, Todd reached out to me for a meeting at their Milpitas location. He was a great, down to earth guy with a passion for fitness and business. My first couple of classes were at the Milpitas location -- an updated, spacious facility with a community of coaches and peers that are both helpful and encouraging. Being as the Sunnyvale location is closest to work, I decided to give it a try as well. My first class with Mike and I was sold! He's an experienced coach who creates varying daily workout plans that get switched up weekly, knows how to push you, and still ensures that you're having a good time doing it. The numerous coaches I've had the pleasure of learning from at Smash Gyms Sunnyvale all shared those same hard-working and supportive qualities that ultimately cultivates an environment you want to come back to day after day. On days when life was kicking my butt a little extra, I found myself looking forward to getting into a Smash Gym and working my butt a little extra. These gyms were nothing short of therapeutic for my mental and beneficial for my physical. read more

I'm pretty impressed. This is a family-owned business that offers a good variety of classes for both adults and children. Most martial arts gyms I've seen will only have one or two classes catering to kids, but I would definitely say this place targets kids and adults equally. The floor mat is spacious to move around on and instructors are all very experienced. Monthly cost is fair. And their after-school program is amazing too. The coaches thoroughly look through each child's homework to make sure it's complete. And they even have extra books, toys, and a computer for online homework. I can't wait for my kids to try their summer camps next year. read more

Smash gyms is an awesome place. I learned a lot from the strength and conditioning class. Smash has an amazing staff and trainers. They offer so many classes you can't get bored. If you are beginner at lifting, kickboxing or jujitsu they take time to help you learn and are not judgmental. I've made long lasting friendships here. I recommend smash gyms to anyone looking for a great place to workout. Shoutout to Debbie, Brian, and Eddie and all the coaches that make this a wonderful place! -Tony P read more

I joined here a month back for the bootcamp classes. We have different routines every class which are challenging and concentrating highly on core strength and focusing on different areas of workout. The instructor Illana is great and she provides personal attention to each on and making sure they follow the right posture. I am seeing myself getting better at it day by day. They have other classes offered, which seem great too . They offer a one week free trial which is totally worth giving a shot and deciding which classes interest you the most. read more

Our family LOVES Smash! This is 6 year old's second time participating in their summer camp and we aren't one bit disappointed. The director and coaches are incredibly sweet. And the kids are always having fun! Fun field trips, surprise goodies, and awesome activities for all age groups. Super family friendly environment, too. We highly recommend Smash for summer camp =) read more

Great yoga class witch christine la would recommend. It was relaxing and they have a free class for beginners for a week read more

Alberto at Smash Gym Sunnyvale was SUPER helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to help me select weight plates and rack. I had many questions and he was very patient. Not only has he provided suggestions at a personal level, he was also very fun to speak with! The whole experience was very pleasant and efficient. Highly recommend if you are shopping for home gym equipments. I hope I can learn Jiujitsu from Alberto in the near future as well! read more

Jose is the most technical kickboxing/Muay Thai coach I've ever had the pleasure to learn from in all my years of training. I frequently learn something new from him, no matter how basic the technique may appear to look, as well as more advanced topics. Fabian, is also great, and gives me a different perspective in boxing that I'm not as accustomed to, while giving me pointers and suggesting adjustments. Amazing gym. read more
