I enrolled my son in the kids' classes here last week, and I couldn’t be happier. This gym has such a welcoming and supportive atmosphere! everyone is friendly and great. The coach is incredible, especially with the kids, balancing fun with the right amount of hard work. I love how the program fosters resilience, community, and perseverance. I’m thrilled my son is learning.
In just a short time, I’ve already noticed a boost in his confidence, all thanks to the amazing coach. My son absolutely loves it and is always excited for the next class. I highly recommend this place, it’s truly awesome!

Best gym in the area. Gives great vibes of old school style gym, yet updated for these times. All participants give a great motivating push to others with their positive attitudes. The gym has gone through some updates and new equipment changes which definitely made this gym even better. Great locally owned gym.

I've been coming to this gym for 5 years at least. What attracted me to it was that it's small and not corporatized, which comes with benefits such as people knowing your name. I knew nothing about boxing when I walked in there, but I've taken a little from each instructor through the group classes, pushed through the discomfort, and ultimately developed some skills I can be proud of. Boxing will always be a part of my life in some capacity because of the massive amount of physical and mental benefits it has given me. The gym itself has everything you need. I like being able to hit a bag if I want, jump in on a class, or hit the weights. I like having all those choices, it means I'm never bored, which motivates me to keep showing up. The gym has always been great, but I've seen it transform for the better ever since Richie started working with Brian to implement some changes. The gear is great, the equipment is dialed, the aesthetics have been touched up, the people are awesome. If you're looking to fight, or just looking to participate in some non-contact boxing, get in killer shape, and have some skills in your back pocket, go check this place out. Forever grateful for this little gym.

American Gym is the hidden gym of Costa Mesa. I happily went here for years until changing gyms to workout with my good friend and trainer (Coach Rizzo). Leaving was bitter sweet because it was like the neighborhood gym to me. Fast forward nearly a decade later and Coach Rizzo ends up at American Gym! So I happily return with him. The vibe was still the same and the owner (Brian) remembered me by name and welcomed me back. Definitely a great guy. With a million cookie cutter gyms to choose from in the OC this is the place to be.

I have been training at American Gym since June 2016 and I love it. Each instructor brings their own approach to the classes, so you get a different workout each time. And the coaches all possess a wealth of knowledge in their respective areas, whether it be boxing or Muay Thai, and most have professional fighting experience. The workouts are suitable for any level -- beginners to advanced. The gym itself has a variety of cardio and weightlifting equipment, as well as an outdoor workout area.
