Star Method is absolutely amazing! It is clean and decorated well, with all the necessary equipment quickly available. The coaches create an atmosphere so fun and welcoming, you'll forget you're in a gym; you'll leave every session sore, but you'll be excited to come back. The coaches are very experienced and diligent in the workouts and direct 1:1 coaching. The owner, Adam (professional boxer prior to opening Star Method), and his wife are incredibly friendly and supportive, and often bring their 2 adorable fur babies, making it a very welcoming, safe and comfortable environment. The classes remain small (fewer than 6 participants) to ensure coaches maintain the ability to observe and quickly intervene on our overall form. Each of the coaches is friendly, encouraging, and very well-experienced in their craft. I feel very fortunate to have found my coach, Demetri. His attention to detail is phenomenal. If I struggle with form / a specific move, he has the ability to quickly create ways for me to have a better understanding of the why, while improving my overall form. I highly recommend Star Method Boxing without hesitation. read more

Every 1 on 1 session or class I've taken has been awesome. It's a challenging & fun workout that pushes me outside of my comfort zone. Every coach I've had has been great! They train all ages and levels of boxing. Whether you're a beginner or intermediate fighter, the coaches have great attention to detail and help breakdown techniques/combos to help build upon on your skill set. I love the aesthetic of the gym as well. It's very clean, modern and spacious. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Star Method Boxing - Trainers Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I've been training at Star Method on and off since 2017. I got into boxing because of this gym and Adam. I would come back between semesters of college, grad school and whenever I could because of how great the environment of this gym is. All the trainers are well experienced and have great energy. On top of classes, 1 on 1 and partner training, Star Method offers an annual boxing retreat which is so much fun. Great for all levels. read more

Star Method is top-notch! I've been training there for around a year, and my experience has been nothing but AWESOME. Adam and his solid team of coaches made it easy for me to leave my concerns and self-doubt at the door when I started, and every day they make sure I leave being a better version of myself. The workouts are great and the ambience is unparalleled. The entire staff is extremely knowledgable, but equally as important, everyone is so down to earth and eager to teach you and rooting for your progress and success, whatever your goal is. Whether you're experienced or just starting out, you can trust Star Method to take you to the next level! read more

Enjoyed the gym, great trainers and training sessions. But had a trainer show up late 15-20 mins and smelling of weed. 15 mins is no big deal but it was a 5am session. But my big negative was come Covid I had 6 sessions left and once things calmed down and wanted to get back to it. They said that my sessions were gone and they'd be happy to set me up with a new set. Taking those sessions away without any notice was just an annoyance. Sucks cause I really enjoyed the work out, but can't go back to some place that treats customers that way. read more

Star Boxing is great! Great place to train, learn, improve etc... Individual training... working with a trainer who helps and assesses and encourages progress and provides insightful correction read more

Truly don't understand the hype around this place. I checked it out because of the reviews and think it's definitely not worth the cost they're asking read more

Just recently I booked my teenage son a one on one training session with Adam. I personally don't know much about boxing, but it's my son's passion and naturally, I want him to learn safety protocols. My son loved the training session, we will book more. I was pleased with the safety protocols and the level of attention to detail regarding the gyms setup. My son learned a lot, Adam is a great coach. The gym is incredibly clean, and the equipment is top of the line. As an added bonus the design of the gym is really modern with an upmarket vibe. The staff were friendly, the training session started on time, very professional. I was impressed. read more

What a welcoming studio for boxing and bootcamp. I love it is clean, new and the instructor, Brian was super attentive, patient and motivating. I am glad I came here with my friend on a Sat morning for the workout. I felt energized, and we both worked up a good sweat. It is always nice to see local business thrive and build a community around it. I hope they get a lot of clients and I would definitely be back to box more! If you want to switch up your routine, this is a good place to try. read more

Very professional, upbeat, clean, and welcoming studio! Felt very welcomed and guided. Great energy and atmosphere all around. Also loved Rachelle's energy, pace, and instruction. I felt super hyped and learned a lot in one session. Thank you! read more

Decided to step away from my normal routine workouts and try out the Star Method - and boy did it exceed my expectations! The facility is beautiful and clean. They have towels, lockers and water at hand. The workouts were instructed by Adam and Morgan who brought the best vibes. Adam pushed me harder than I'd ever possibly push myself. I have honestly never been this sore in so many places and I absolutely love it. I will be adding these classes to my workout routine because summer bodies are made in the winter right? read more

Star Method Boxing - Trainers Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

What an amazing workout! My partner and I took an early morning Sunday class with Richard. The class started right on time and since it was our first time, we were provided a clean pair of gloves and wraps. We really enjoyed the small class size, equipment available, and instruction from Richard. He really knew how to push us to go harder but also kept in mind our limitations. Plenty of street parking on an early Sunday morning, but there is also parking in the back. Definitely will be back! read more

I tried the 30 minute session with Keelan. He was professional, positive and his instruction was easy to follow. I did build up a sweat and got a great workout. I signed up through Adam. He happened to show up as my session ended. He was very helpful and informative. If you want to have a workout plan tailored to your specific needs, then try the star method. They are great team! Happy new year! Go get those those results you want to see. read more

Give The Star Method a try if you like a fun, challenging workout that will leave a smile on your face. I first walked into this gym as a person in search of a new approach to fitness. Now, a little more than a month later, i'm feeling and seeing the results. The private sessions consist of personal training based on your specific goals with a heavy focus on boxing. I've now worked with several of the trainers and can say that they each pocetheir own special strengths. Adam is a force of nature, Morgan is fierce and Gabe is a calm and centered. They're excellent at breaking down the mechanics of boxing in order to help you build a strong foundation. Being a relative beginner, i really appreciate that kind of thing. I'm looking forward to trying the group classes next. Go ahead and take advantage of the Intro Special if you're curious. read more

If you are looking for a new challenge and want to push yourself to the limits this is definitely the class for you! I was so happy with the class that Adam put on (and Morgan joined in as well) - it was well organized, tough off the bat, and made me push myself harder than I knew I could. I always get sick of the same routine of just going to the gym so this is such a great incorporation to my fitness routine. I didn't just walk away with having a rewarding workout but also with knew a new set of skills to use in my daily routines. It's been 3 days and I am still sore! That's how you know you had a killer workout! Thanks star method team! read more

The Star Method experience will not only make you a better person but a better athlete. Having been to the Star Method multiple times, you see why people keep coming back to leave again super sweaty and heaps of smiles on their face. Keep up the good work! read more

See all

I scheduled a 1-1, 1hr boxing class this morning at 8am and no one showed up. Extremely unprofessional. No responses to any communication.

I've always wanted to try boxing and while I was on break from school I decided to give it a try. I've always held back because I thought I would end up at a gym where I would be intimidated or not get a full experience, so I looked for private training and I'm so glad I found The Star Method. The one on one experience is exactly what I was looking for and Adam and his studio are the best. We focus on boxing because that is what I wanted, but he throws in other strengthening exercises that I really need. I was really happy with my first session because we got started right away. He did an awesome job at teaching me the basics and building on them each session. Adam is so supportive and fun and my sessions always fly by. From the minute I walked in for my first session Adam made me feel as comfortable as possible, from asking me what kind of music I liked to what kind of trainer I'm looking for. I push myself pretty hard but Adam gives me that extra push I need, and he does it with a smile. I feel so good every time I go in, both mentally and physically. Five sessions in and I feel like I've learned so much. I wish I could take Adam with me back to school! read more

Back in town on biz and we needed a workout so we popped in for Joe's group class. It was EXACTLY what we needed. 30 minutes of body conditioning and 30 minutes of boxing. Perfect!!!! read more

Amazing gym that offers 1 on 1 coaching in both strength and fighting techniques. Coaches work with any skill level of athlete and are super encouraging. Can't recommend the team and program here enough. read more

I was visiting from Orange County and I was looking for a place to workout. I found the Star Method Instagram after doing a little digging on Google and I immediately wanted to take their boxing class. I am a beginner since I've only ever done a few boxing classes at my gym back at home. This class was much more in depth! I learned all of the fundamentals and really feel like I learned more than I ever did. The workout itself is so much fun and my abs were sore the next day. The trainers were very motivating and pushed me throughout the entire workout. If I were to live in the area I would 100%, without a doubt become a member here and become a bad a** boxer. Also bought a hoodie to rep while I was there. The bay is a little colder than OC... wasn't prepared! read more

TBH what would I do without this stellar appropriately named gym? It keeps me calm being able to work out the stressors of the day. Pow pow pow. It's clean and kept up, up-to-date with the latest techniques and intimate enough where I feel like I'm part of a club. read more

Adam and team are such a dedicated, supportive group of trainers. So patient, focused and encouraging. My form and technique has been transformed by them. read more

Coming to the star method has truly changed my outlook on working out. Adam and his team curate specific work outs to fit you best.

This place is a Gold Mine!!!!! Adam is absolutely amazing, definitely not like any other fitness class I have attended before which have been many, from start to finish you get your class worth. Adam is so motivating and Inspiring that it makes you work harder. He's very patient and will make you feel comfortable the whole way through, not to mention he gives you a cold infused eucalyptus towel at the end, I'm not a morning person what so ever but I'm excited every morning because no class is ever the same and can't wait to learn new moves, I can already see a huge difference in my body after one week, so thank you so much Adam your facility is a true success. =) read more

Adam is an amazing trainer. He works hard to have great energy the entire time throughout the workout. No other instructor will break down and help teach you exercises in such a good manner. I train weekly with Adam and have seen significant weight loss results and confidence in mood, happiness, and agility. I enjoy adams resistance stretching exercises he can teach me that I can do at home. I also love to do personal training as well as boxing with him every week. He has years of knowledge in the fitness industry and it truly shows. You can tell that he does something he truly loves, his goal is to make every client happy with the results they see. read more

My husband and I have been training with Adam since June he is just the best! Such a nice guy, flexible with out crazy schedules and always just enthusiastic and really pushes me to where I would never go by myself. Best personal trainer I have ever had and I have had a lot. I really look forward to my workouts every week and that is saying a lot. Check him out! read more

Adam is the best personal trainer that I've worked with. My lady and I started partner training sessions at SWEAT Rockridge this spring and were paired w Adam -- which was a perfect match. His style is laid back but challenging. He caters weekly programs to our needs, takes into account our differences, varies programs frequently, and has an amazing ability to personalize & push us to the next level. Beyond that, he's a very cool dude so it's fun, challenging & always rewarding to spend 60 mins / wk with him. I would highly recommend him for personal, partner or group sessions. read more

This workout kicked my ass, in a good way. Adam is an awesome coach/motivator, This was my first boxing lesson, and I was very pleased with the class. Adam is an awesome coach and motivator, i'd definitely recommend this facility!! read more

Adam has far surpassed my expectations. Trying to kickstart a new workout regimen, I was a little skeptical to dive right into group classes so thought the partner training would be a great entry point. From day one, Adam took the time to get to know us and what our bodies were capable of. Each class was specifically tailored to us and always evolving to keep us engaged and inspired. Each week he greeted us with such a positive energy and really set the tone to make us feel motivated and ready to get in shape. Adam takes time to really learn about his clients so he can give you the best possible session every single time. I love that each week we learn something new that we can implement on our own. He keeps things ever evolving and even changes up workouts on the fly to accommodate our requests or to allow us to push into something we really want to work on. I highly recommend Adam as a personal trainer or instructor of any kind. You will see great results and be happy you made the decision to improve your lifestyle! read more

I'll preface this review with the admission that I never leave reviews for anyone. Literally whether due to my forgetfulness and sheer laziness. But I honestly feel I would be doing a disservice to anyone looking for a location train if I didn't leave a review for the Star Method Boxing. I love this place. As someone who stopped working out for a long time and was looking to start training again just to be in better health this place was the perfect blend of getting great training with learning new skills (boxing and kickboxing) from great trainers. From day one each trainer I've worked with or class I've taken has challenged not only physically but mentally. In only a month in a half months I have seen so much progress with not only my conditioning but also the skill of boxing which was something completely foreign to me prior. So if you are new to boxing or are just getting back into working out and feeling hesitant DONT feel that way with this location. It really is amazing and I look forward to getting in there each and every day improving myself. read more

Let me start this review by stating I'm not a boxer. I'll go one step further and say I'm more than slightly uncoordinated. But I wanted a workout that would push me outside my comfort zone and 100% this place delivered. What makes Star Method special is that from day 1 you're welcomed into the family/community. Small classes equate to individualized attention and encouragement. I've worked with Adam, Brian, Rey and Richard - all of which bring infectious energy to the table. I love the group classes, but if you want to accelerate your growth individual classes are the way to go. Did I mention the first class is free?! read more

The Star Method is an incredible workout! Founder Adam Nijem is out of this world! His background as a fighter and years of experience in personal training have given Adam the unique and incredible foundation from which he has built The Star Method. Every single workout is dynamic, physically challenging, and will leave you drenched and smiling! I AM HOOKED! read more

This place is a gem for multiple reasons. Yes its a fantastic workout you definitely get your ass wooped! But what i love too is the instructors are legitimate fighters with actual boxing and martial arts experience, not hokey fitness instructors. They put great time and effort into making sure your technique is on point. In addition they really work with your personal fitness level and all ages. As a physical therapist i am very appreciative of the attention paid to preventing injury and fine tuning form so you learn safely and efficiently. Highly recommend trying a few private sessions first (they have really affordable deals going on right now!) before you take the small group classes regardless you get a lot out if it! I always passed this place on my way to my favorite yoga studio and was always curious to check it out, after 3 sessions so far i am very glad I did!!!! read more

I've taken private boxing, takedown, and MMA classes with Adam. He brings a variety of disciplines to his craft and couples it with continuous motivation that enables one to reach their full potential. I pushed myself to limits I didn't think possible of myself working with Adam, he has a way of encouraging you to overshoot your own assessment of your capabilities. I am from out of town so have only been in town during short spurts, but make it a point to get in touch with Adam everytime I fly in. read more

That was my first boxing classes ever, and I absolutely loved it. Adam has a really good energy, and can keep you focused. I felt that he carefully watched what I was doing, regularly correcting me. He gave some tips, and encouraged me to keep working! Great place with great energy, I'll definitely come back. read more

I'll start by saying anything martial arts related I was not into, at all. My husband started doing jujitsu at the same place Adam goes to, they got to talking, and he realized Adam was starting a kickboxing class, had an awesome Groupon deal going, and thought it would be perfect for me. I'll admit, I was not happy at all. I've stuck to my workout routine for as long as I can remember and was not ready to get thrown into something like kickboxing. My husband will never let me live this down but - I. WAS. WRONG. Adam has surpassed all of my expectations. Seriously. If I could train with him for the rest of my life I would be so content! He loves what he does and it definitely shows in his work. His class is fun, productive, and all around great for beginners to advanced. He never makes you feel like your behind or not getting it and is always willing to go extra rounds if you ask. In my own experience he has never asked me to do any exercise I was uncomfortable with and is always ready to accommodate your needs. His style makes you want to get out there and get better! Since starting his class I've been biking, hiking and everything in between. My diet has become more consistent and I feel incredible! Even my husband went out and got some mitts & gloves and we've been sparring on our off days! If your looking for someone to help break you away from the "workout" routine Adam is without a doubt the guy for you. His class has changed my perspective on working out. It's no longer a matter of "man, I hate this class/gym/etc but I'll reluctantly go because I need to look and be fit to be accepted into the social norms", but rather, "Yes! Class is today! I get to learn new moves and train not just physically but mentally. I may not get it all but I gave it my all and can walk away knowing I did and learned some valuable stuff!". I could obviously go on and on but - thank you Adam for showing me what I'm capable of! read more
