CMC Pro Boxing

If you’re in the MDR area and want a good place to box, this is it. Its a better choice than the other gym down the street. The atmosphere is good. The staff is friendly. It’s a good gym to get in shape!

Short Review:
+ Great staff that’s knowledgable, friendly.
+ Equipment and atmosphere is clean, well lit and moderately new.
+ Any fitness level, age body type.
+ No egos here folks. You won’t fight anyone here more than yourself (unless you’re ready to spar). From the one on one classes to the group crossbox class, you’ll feel welcomed. They motivate and teach you at your pace while pushing you towards personal bests.
+ Join! You won’t regret it.
Long Review:
What do you want to get out of it?
Don’t worry about your skill level, fitness/​body type or if you feel out of place or even if you’re new to boxing. YOU are your own obstacle at this gym. I’ve never done boxing before and I felt like I’ve learned so much. Everyone is there to support, motivate and give you guidance. Chad, Omar and Marcelo are great at what they do and I’ve improved my body and endurance like I’ve never done before. You will be pushed, but nothing good ever came easy. I’ve been going here since early May and I love it. Most importantly, I see and feel RESULTS.
Feel free to reach out to me if you have any concerns or doubts.

I’ve gone to CMC with ClassPass to take their 7PM weekday conditioning class and I think it is one of the most fun, best fitness classes in LA. Between skill work, cardio work, energizing trainers, and just all out punching madness, it is a ton of fun!
I really liked the vibe in the gym — no egos, just people having fun getting in shape and learning a challenging new skill. If you’re thinking of checking out the conditioning class, it can help if you have your own hand wraps and gloves. Boxing equipment gets really stinky and you will instantly regret borrowing boxing equipment from anywhere. If it’s your own stink, that’s somehow more ok than other peoples’.
I’ve done a lot of fitness classes (CrossFit, Equinox, spinning/​SoulCycle, HIIT, yoga, TRX, you name it, I’ve tried it) and found that the CMC boxing conditioning class was one of the most fun workout experiences I’ve had in years. The conditioning class won’t make you a prize fighter, but chances are you’re not trying to become one.
You’ll learn. You’ll punch stuff. You’ll get a fantastic cardio workout!

Did the boxing and conditioning class with classpass. Amazing trainer and experience! Great workout and music definitely coming back

I really enjoy working out and always love a challenge. I had been interested in boxing, but never found myself to actually doing it since it could be an intimidating sport. Well, my girlfriends and I came to check CMC Pro Boxing and we absolutely loved it! The trainers have been super helpful and patient in teaching us basics/​form since we are beginners and at the same time kicking our butts during the training. I really loved the motivation and intensity they brought mixing cardio along with working you on the punching bags with the gloves on. Its a great way to get a little aggression out. :) Everyone is super friendly creating a comfortable environment and in general, a place where you can come to unwind. Every workout session is different, but all challenging workouts which I really love. Overall, a great experience and would highly recommend!

While looking for an alternate workout from a regular gym, my girlfriends and I came across CMC Pro Boxing and decided to give it a shot. This place is great! Although mostly males in the gym, they made all of us feel very comfortable and welcomed. Carlos and the other trainers are very patient with beginners and are extremely motivational. I never thought i’d enjoy a workout as much as I have enjoyed training in this gym. It’s challenging but so much fun!

This is, hands down, the best boxing gym in LA. You can actually train with professional boxers without being one of them. It’s a friendly energy since the first moment I stepped into this gym. I really can’t explain how happy I am that I’ve found this place.
Unfortunately for me, I work in the entertainment industry and can’t afford to get hurt. Since day one Marcelo told me: don’t worry big guy! He took care of me so I can train hard and safe… I can actually spar with him and other people sometimes.
The coaches are very knowledgable and I love spending time there… really cool people and I think it’s the cleanest gym on earth!
I felt it could be intimating to go to a gym where there’s pro boxers but in this place I’ve learn some moves from former and current champions (yes…). That’s what I think makes this place unique

So this is the first review I have ever written on Unilocal… ever. I decided to write this review because this place really is that great and my experience here has been nothing short of amazing!
I was looking for a way to get in shape and decided on CMC based on the awesome Unilocal reviews. The reviews were more than accurate since after 3 months of training with them, I can personally attest to the fact that this is the best place to train in LA.
The owner, Marcelo and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and able to work with people of all fitness and boxing levels. Boxing can be an intimidating sport to get into, however, CMC makes it not only fun but also safe. These guys have trained and still train some of the best pro boxers in the world and they can train you the same way… but again always making sure you have fun and you don’t get hurt.
I, like many of the people that train here, have a very high stress job and there really is no better medicine then coming to the gym and working out with these guys. The clients are friendly, the instructors are awesome, all in all there is no way you can go wrong by deciding to come here.
See you in the ring :)

I love this gym. Everyone that works there and works out there is super friendly, super encouraging and very positive. I started going 3 months ago. I was an out of shape 46 year old that never boxed before. Three months in and I’m stronger, thinner, less stressed and I’m gaining new skills everyday. Carlos and the other trainers are awesome. They push you, keep you positive and encourage you to work harder.
The classes are never the same. These guys have a huge bag of tricks which makes the workouts that much more fun and engaging. You lose track of time and before you know it you’ve finished an intense 1-​hour workout.
If you want fancy Kiehl’s products and eucalyptus towels this isn’t the place for you. If you’re looking for a circuit training «boxing style» gym this isn’t it.
This is a real boxing gym. You’ll work out alongside real boxers training for actual fights. The guys working and training here know their stuff and are always helping the newer guys like me out.
I always look forward to coming here. And I’ve NEVER liked exercising or working out.

I’ve been driving by the sign for this place for months and am so glad I finally got the chance to try it out! I LOVED it!
This place is really awesome with an extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff that took the time to show me the proper technique used in the sport, challenged me with an intense boxing workout and created an incredible team environment. Whether you are new to boxing or not, this is definitely a place to check out!!!

I’ve been wanting to try this place out for months considering we drive by their sign every single morning! So I was very thankful when I saw it was offered through ClassPass. Just walking in gives you a good vibe. Very open, everyone seems to be working hard on a goal; no dirty looks or stink eyes (lol) Some were working out individually or in groups — it was just good. What I liked most was how I didn’t feel uncomfortable like I have at some places just because I was the only female — just to be real.
Anyways, I was welcomed by John (dubb) & he was really down to earth and easy to get along with. The class consisted of me and one more fellow so semi-​private. Started us out with some simple movements to warm up our muscles and jump ropes/​squats to get our heart rates up before we put on the gloves… then the intensity. He taught us proper form & made sure we stayed consistent which I completely appreciated & really pushed us to go beyond our mindset and pass those boundaries we give ourselves. He even had us do this kick a** ab work out that everyone must try. Overall, great experience & I would highly recommend –with or without ClassPass.

Cmc pro boxing is the real deal!!! If you’re looking to get in great shape, workout in a team environment, gain confidence, or even just a healthy way to let out some aggression, cmc is the place. With guys like George, Dub, and Chad teaching you technique and pushing you to your limits you’re definitely going to get the results you want.

Learning to Box at CMC will change your life. I have only been training there for the past three months and it has turned my life around completely. The staff there show so much interest in your health and training that they quickly become family. The boxing instruction from each and every coach is not something you can just find anywhere. This is where PROS come to learn and train. I’m excited each and every day to step into the gym and learn something new. How many people out there can say that about their gyms? Thank You CMC for just being AWESOME!

So I decided I wanted to box, in combination with lifting three days per week.
I do my research with everything, in order to be a smart consumer, and had narrowed it down to four boxing gyms in the area. CMC was the last one that I tried, but they were also the one that I gave my business to. I was pushed harder during my first session than all the others I tried, and I liked that right away.
I am learning the right way to box and getting a killer workout at the same time. It is by far the hardest thing I have done, but so far, has been the most rewarding.
I can’t speak for other trainers, because I have only trained with Chad, however, I will say, he is fantastic. He is constantly challenging me, and pushing me beyond my normal limits. He notices immediately if I am doing something wrong and will come up with a different drill if it needs to be corrected. He is by far the best boxing coach I have encountered in doing my research prior to signing up with CMC.
In the two weeks that I have been with CMC, and have been lifting 3 days per week, I have lost 10lb of body fat, and my body fat percentage has gone down 3.5%. I’ve gained 2lb lean mass in my stomach and 1lb of lean mass in each leg. It hasn’t been easy, but these results are remarkable. It took me two months last year to see these results I have seen in just two weeks with CMC.
I have seen them training all types of people there and they modify training based on the client.
I get really excited to go and can’t imagine these workouts ever getting boring, and I get bored so easily. Lol
The money I am paying for these sessions is well worth it. I chose to go with private sessions, but they do many classes as well.

I’m a 38-​year-​old woman who has never boxed before. Ever. I’ve worked out a lot, but I fell out of my workout routine due to a minor surgery. I wanted something new and exciting to jump-​start my workouts again, as I was feeling a bit deflated about how things were going.
I was skeptical at first, and frankly — how did jumping rope get so hard? It was easy as pie when I was 11! But, these trainers are incredibly helpful, encouraging, and they pushed me. I’ve been keeping at it for 6 weeks now, and it has already made a huge difference. I ran 3 miles the other day and it was a piece of cake. I can jump rope far longer, and I feel stronger. I’m pushing myself harder than I have in a long time. And, I love it.
Not only that, but my mood and overall attitude has changed. It’s always intimidating to try something new, but so exhilarating when you overcome that hesitancy. Every trainer in there has been wonderful and a joy to work with. And, the other trainees have been just as encouraging. It’s like being a part of a real club, and everyone is rooting for one another.
Quick story — a couple weeks after I started, I overdid it and pulled a muscle. I had called to say that I wasn’t coming in due to the injury. They suggested I come in anyway to help with stretching and give me a some direction on how to heal quickly. And, they were right. What a personal touch, and I was back in action in a few short days, and haven’t had an injury since. I’ve never had a trainer or a gym do that. I don’t know why other gyms don’t! It got me back to the gym much sooner and I completely trust them as a result.
As much as I don’t want this gym to get crowded because of awesome reviews, I still have to be honest, and these guys deserve to be busy. This is exactly what I needed, and big hugs and shout outs to Travis, Ruben, Allan, Marcello, and everyone!
THANK YOU

I’ve been boxing for years and I can honestly say that Marcelo, Ruben, Alan, and the crew at CMC are top notch! Clean, professional, tough workouts, sparring, fitness… best boxing gym on the Westside!

A beautifully clean, up-​to-​date facility with an extremely knowledgeable staff that will teach you a ton while pushing your body to the limits. The other members are great too, and you’ll feel a real community vibe when you walk through the door. Love this place!

CMC is the truth! I have been training close to 5 years now and can easily say that CMC is the real deal experience to learn how to box. I joined CMC last fall and since then have grown more confident in my abilities. Marcelo is the best trainer I have ever had. Both Marcelo and the CMC team take the necessary time to teach you what you need to get better and better. The entire CMC team really cares about you achieving your goals and that goes a long way with me. They really push you to do your best and the energy in the gym is a plus. It is a great place to train hands down. We all help each other get better. Before CMC I knew how to brawl but now I know how to box.

AWESOME! At the beginning of the year, I could do one set of 30 push-​ups. After going to CMC just twice a week for 2 months, I can now do SIX sets of 30 push-​ups. I feel great, clothes fit way better, and I am stronger, quicker, and more fit than I have been in years. I was a competitive junior and college athlete, have had memberships to many fitness clubs, and have even practiced martial arts, but nothing has been more challenging, enjoyable, and produced results like CMC. The Marcelo is amazing the staff is fantastic, and the facility is nice, clean, bright, and new too. If you want to learn how to box, or want to get fit, or better yet, BOTH, I don’t know a better place to do it.

Incredible experience, complete professionalism from the staff and owners… Highly recommend. CMC puts your safety first while pushing you hard…
My entire body is soar in a good way…
