As a kickboxing coach, I’ve had the pleasure of training my clients at Fortune Gym—and I really love it here. It’s a true old-school boxing gym with an authentic atmosphere. The owners, Justin and Tamara, treat everyone like family. You can feel the passion and care they put into this place. Whether you’re new to boxing or a seasoned fighter, you’ll feel right at home. Highly recommend! 🥊 And if you want to train Muay Thai or Kickboxing, ask me—Coach Tekin!

I live in Washington and came to Los Angeles for work last year. I stopped in and worked out during their morning and evening classes. All the instructors were very welcoming and knowledgeable. My last visit to Los Angeles was just a couple weeks ago. I took my step son with me to a morning class. Justin helped run the class and held mitts for us. Great experience and a great guy. Justin and Jake even took time for a quick pic with us. I’ll be coming back to his gym every time I come to LA.

Wow what a great gym! Everyone there is extremely nice, the place is very clean and comfortable, especially for me, this being my first time in a boxing gym , and I felt right at home. Parking is really great too, for the location. I can't say enough good things about this place. I am glad I found it! I train with Jose Navarro at Fortune Gym gym, who is a GREAT trainer.

Upon moving to LA from Australia, Fortune became my new boxing gym. Justin and the team offer superb Boxing training at an elite level. I felt very welcome and at home - and not just because Justin is originally from Australia, too - but because of the welcoming nature of the space and the focussed coaching. Perfect for fitness or fight training. A most brilliant gym!

Fortunes gym is niceeee. It’s a beautiful built gym in west LA. Tammy and Justin were very welcoming since the first time I walked in. They have a great price for the open gym, and they let you use all of their gym. They made the parking lot into an outdoor gym so there’s extra space for sprints. They have all the bags you need (heavy, double, end, a big ring, a SnC area, speed bag) I will say since it’s a gym is west LA the personal training was above my budget, but the classes are affordable and so is the open gym membership. Overall it’s a great gym! Will definitely visit again once the Covid restrictions lessen. Thank you Tammy and Justin for all the hard work y’all put into the gym! 🙏🏼
