I love this gym! Super clean, a great layout, and an amazing staff! The trainers all have different styles, which keeps the workouts fun and exciting. If you haven't tried boxing/kickboxing, trust me it will get you in the best shape of your life and you will have fun doing it! Mauricio is the owner and he has been running this place for 20 years. He is a Pasadena legend! Be sure to check out their website or sign up for the mailing list. They often run deals on class packages, and I've gotten some great discounts that way. But you can book individual classes if you just want to try it out!

Best kickboxing class I've ever been to! Mauricio is an awesome teacher, really knows what he's doing, and is the kindest person, always remembering his clients and saying a friendly hello. Phoebe's classes are great, too. These sessions get your heart rate up and make you SWEAT. An amazing full body workout, including a quick warm-up, a variety of fun kickboxing combos, conditioning, and abs and stretching at the end, with fun music playing the whole time - not to mention a ring featured in Million Dollar Baby in the background! If you want a fun, cathartic, serious workout, don't miss this spot.

I've only taken 4 classes at Classic Kickboxing so far, but they've all been great! Mauricio and Phoebe are both wonderful instructors. They manage to guide everyone through a workout that's both challenging and appropriate for all skill levels, while still letting you know it's okay to listen to your body and do what's right for you. The place has a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. Highly recommended!
