I've been attending the women's boxing/co-ed classes with Coach Bryan at Sweet Science, and I can't recommend them enough. I came in with some boxing experience, and since training under him I've gotten stronger, way more confident in sparring, and more disciplined with my training and nutrition. I rarely miss a class because I genuinely look forward to showing up and seeing what I'm capable of. Coach Bryan is the real deal. He's a pro boxer, so the knowledge he brings to every session is the kind you just can't get everywhere. He gives individual feedback, he's encouraging, and he pushes you because he actually believes you can do hard things. The community is another big reason I keep coming back. Everyone is welcoming and rooting for each other, which makes showing up easy. If you're nervous about starting, don't be. This is a great place to be! read more

What went well, you ask? Just about everything so far. I boxed a little as a teenager and wanted to get back to it. So in 2018 I popped in one morning and have been coming ever since. Whether you want to get fit, fight competitively or just learn something new, you can get all that here and more. It's a real boxing gym so you're training alongside pros and amateurs. The gym has great hours so if you're an early riser Coach Juan will greet you as early as 5am! And if I'm not mistaken they have classes into the evening as late as 7p. I've learned things from all of the great coaches here working with all of them over the years. Currently I'm working with Coach Bryan, a professional with an undefeated record! They have great kids classes too which my son has participated in and enjoyed! It's affordable, and they adjusted my membership to fit with my schedule. They have two rings, plenty of bags, and a freeweight area. Oh and also a large MMA room. I most enjoy the camaraderie, respect and equality amongst everyone there. Boxing is an international sport and that is evident here as I've met people from all over the world here. I've made new friends working out with and sharing the ring with. We have FUN! So come on down and learn the sweet science. read more

Sweet Science is a incredible boxing gym. They have excellent coaches (real boxing coaches who know their stuff), they train all kinds of people, including kids, amateur competitors, and pro fighters, and they have a women's boxing class. It's fun to train there and watch people with a high skill level and work ethic. At the same time, it's not an intimidating space -- it's more of a community. The gym is clean and all the coaches, staff, and other people training at Sweet Science are respectful and nice to be around. There is also free parking in the front and in the back of the gym. read more

Sweet science is a great family owned boxing gym. They have classes for the kids, a safe place for them to learn good skills and self defense. Also if they are interested seriously in boxing they have good couches that will support their dreams. read more

Beautiful Gym but the owner Marco was a total Jerk so I didn't sign up my kids. Maybe he was having a bad day but he needs to calm down with that BS for sure. Lots of Boxing gyms around and cheaper ones with really good trainers, don't believe the hype & go somewhere that isn't run by an owner like this guy. read more

You want to be part of this world! One of Hawthorne's hidden gems with, fun, knowledgeable and friendly staff that stays up to date with the boxing world. My kids and I love all the classes and instructors here. 10year daughter takes jujitsu and my 12 year old is in boxing after school before soccer practice. They are both much stronger and motivated after joining here. read more

Was looking to find a place to box and get back in shape. Found this place via Yelp and it was about 2 miles from my place. The staff instantly made me feel comfortable.

Sweet Science Boxing & MMA - Boxing Near Me - Hawthorne, California

When I found this place, I had zero interest in boxing. Since I'm a petite female Asian, I was really looking for a martial arts class but couldn't find anything that suited my schedule or location. Then I started looking for an MMA class and found this place, only to find out they only do boxing. But I don't care about that anymore, this place is awesome! I picked this place because it's the only fighting style workout place that has a class at 5PM, I'm usually the only adult there with 15+ kids, but it's convenient for me and I still get a hell of a work out. I started out trying through Groupon, and when checking in the first day I was able to buy gloves and hand wraps. The class warms up with jump rope followed by boxing stance exercise. Then we either work on the bags, and take turns hitting boxing mitts with coach Juan and or coach Marco or do boxing drills. Then ends with usual workout stuff, burpees, sit-ups and push-ups. And I my ignorant self was worried I wouldn't really get a lower body workout at a boxing gym, but my sore quads and calves proved me wrong. If you have any interest, or even no interest in boxing but want a good hour workout I highly recommend this place. The coaches are tough but encouraging, the workouts are difficult but entertaining. I haven't looked forward to working out since I was playing sports in high school 10+ years ago. Plus, I lost weight by just going 2 times a week, without changing my crappy diet. But I enjoy working out here so much I'm trying to get to the gym more often. I was looking for an activity that I would enjoy and get in shape while doing it and I found it here! Check it out!! TLDR: It doesn't matter if you're into boxing, if you need a good workout and want to hit things, give this place a shot!! Great for all ages, male or female. read more

Clean gym friendly environment! Will come back ! Came here to spar today and the gym is clean and staff is friendly!

I absolutely love this place !!! It's a real boxing gym ! I seen some posts about not getting a call back but .. this is an old school gym . You want to talk to someone go in there, and you won't regret it. The trainers have so much knowledge on techniques and these new cardio boxing classes are making me sweat my ass off !! Thanks guys for helping me with my right hook Easy parking in the morning, clean bathrooms, and near so much good for after your workout read more

I take my 2 boys (10 & 12) to train on Saturday mornings. It has a great atmosphere and is operated by the nicest family. The daily rate is reasonable, and the coach is helpful and generous with his time. They also sell boxing gloves, hand wraps, shoes, and t-shirts, which is great when you forget (or lose) your stuff. I highly recommend, it's like Mickey's Gym in Rocky! read more

This review is based on MY personal experience when my son & I were clients here in 2014. Original date posted 1/21/15: You will definently get a workout here, but there were some days of inconsistency and that's not what I signed up for. There were days when the Coach Darnell, was late or didn't show up, so there would be someone to fill in. The training wouldn't be the same and some of the kids were being 'kids' so they were out-of-control and not following instructions. That's not what I signed my son and I up for. Then when trying to talk to Coach Darnell about it he was let's say, 'not pleasant to talk to'. So I recommend you do your research before deciding to sign up here. Look for something more stable and professional. read more

I've been taking my daughter to one of their classes. What I like: Instructor Sitting area while waiting The way the instructor conducts the classes Plenty of parking What I don't like: There's no sanitizer There's no AC ( it gets hot in there) It doesn't look like anyone cares to dust/sanitize the place or the equipment Pricing- a little on the expensive side read more

Woman boxing class Friday's 6am. Great time. Meeting cool people. Great workout. Learning a lot. Great environment. Must bring plenty of water with you. I know I do. read more

Started with the Saturday 9am free boxing boot camp class and it was the best experience. Coaches were very helpful and knowledgeable during the boot camp session. I have started doing one on one personal training sessions with Coach Juan, he is great and very patient during each session. I would highly recommend Sweet Science Boxing if you are interested in learning boxing techniques. read more

I tried the cardio kickboxing class with coach Nikki who kicked my butt in a good way. I was lucky enough to have the 1:1 session with her for the class. I left the class feeling good about myself. I am trying to get back into working out and knowing some self defense moves so this class is totally worth it. The workout is great and would recommend this place along with coach NikkI! read more

Great gym for real boxing. They also have Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu. Solid equipment and trainers are legit.

With all the gyms popped up it's nice to find a real boxing gym- solid instructors - perfect for anyone looking to compete or to just learn proper boxing in the classes for a kickass workout. All kinds of toys :) speed bags, slip bags, uppercut bags, double end bags, all size punching bags, a ring and plenty of sparring if you're looking for it. Love this place. read more

I'm 35yo, and I have never boxed before. I came to this gym upon a friend's recommendation. It was fun and challenging. Fair pricing. Very welcoming. I got a great workout and learned a lot of technique. I will be attending on a regular basis in the future. Coach PJ had me sucking wind the whole time. Great energy in the place. I walked out feeling like a man. read more

Been going for a year now , 100% recommended great workout you'll sweat every time. Coaches are great too, everyone so nice here we're are own little family read more

I searched all LA for a good boxing gym for several months, I was looking for an affordable gym where I could come in at later times that came with a good atmosphere. Went to many of them, most closed too early for my schedule, some were too expensive, some just had too many egos roaming around. after all the search I did, I believe that I found what I was looking for here at Sweet Science!. Their prices are very reasonable, especially for what they offer compared to others. They offer several classes at no extra charge. They keep the students engaged with special monthly challenges and with special boxing events. Their hours are insane! a Boxing gym that closes after 12:00pm on Saturday is unheard of!. At Sweet Science, they pretty much close until u get your workout fix!. Last weekend I left the gym at almost 5pm on a Sat!. I've been going there for six months and so far I don't have any complaints. I have lost a lot of weight and gained a lot of energy! All in all - Give it a try, stay committed and you will see results!! Pros: Lots of parking on back, Great Boxing and MMA classes for beginners and advanced students, No initiation fees just a flat monthly rate. Great coaches committed to helping students reach their goals(I'm not kidding when I say that they sometimes go beyond to help you). Cons: its a bit small but it's never been an excuse for me not to get my work out. read more

I had my 3 kids here for a while.. I need to update my review on how things fell off with coach Marco based on my experience.. All I can say is that I'm so disappointed with him and how things end, I will not talk bad about him like he did about us to the gym and to ppl there.. The kids class is great I have no complaints with that.. I do recommend the kids class to parents who want to get there kids fit, teach them self defense and confidence.. read more

Love this place. My fiancé and I never boxed a day in our lives but we decided to try it out through the ClassPass app. We both loved it and Von was really helpful, attentive, patient, and understanding. This beats going to an open gym since you work out every part of your body. read more

It's been two weeks since I called to try to get more info. Especially for the Saturday class, after that it would've determined if I stayed or not. Which would've been most likely since I love boxing. It's ridiculous that these people don't answer their phones or emails. 2 weeks?! Really? How are y'all in business? I would NOT recommend going here. But hey, you probably have better luck than I do. read more

Sweet Science is the absolute best place to learn how to box. Coach Juan shows patience, and always preaches the basics. Everyday I spend there is a challenge physically, but also fun. I look forward to every training session I have at Sweet Science. I highly recommend them as a business and gym! read more
