Bay Area Boxing

Fantastic experience: Great gym, coaches, equipment, and atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I wanted to start taking jiu jitsu classes and after looking at some other gyms in the area I decided to sign up at Bay Area Boxing. The staff here knew my name after my first session and are always super welcoming and helpful. I started taking jiu jitsu classes with Jake D, Jake Tipton, Nick and Brian and they are all fantastic instructors, who are welcoming and helpful whether it’s your first class or your hundredth. The same can be said for the other coaches and members, everyone has a great attitude and is very friendly. I would recommend Bay Area Boxing to anyone looking to get into martial arts or is looking for a place to mix up their exercise regiment while looking to make some great friends in the process.

Fantastic experience: I went here for a year, most enjoyable and effective time I've had exercising. Great place, great value, great people.

Fantastic experience: I've going to Bay area boxing for a couple months now for jiu jitsu and I can't say enough how beginner friendly the coaches and the community is, everyone wants to help. Both Nick and Jake are so nice and understanding. If you are looking for a place but scared, come to the trial class and you won't regret it

Fantastic experience: Bay Area Boxing is awesome! I've benefitted a lot from the kickboxing program. It's helped me to get stronger and fitter. The trainers are really good, they take time to make sure everyone's doing it right. The soundtrack is a blast. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Since April 2023 until January 2024, I've been going 2 times a week to Bay Area Boxing every week! I've done both boxing and kickboxing, with maybe 6/7 coaches in total. All of them extremely good. Personally I've been doing boxing for over a year, but often in classes see people with a lot more of years of training or just beginners. The coaches always walk around and see your form to see how you can improve, and are always happy to answer questions - it's a very good environment for beginners, but also for experienced athletes since the coaches have a lot of experience. I particularly recommend the BayFit Boxing classes with Michael Rodriguez, which always have the best soundtrack and most punches/minute, or the Boxing Fundamentals with Alexey Bulankov to improve your technique Both Jakes (the owners) are friendly and super helpful. I never had a problem that they couldn't help me with, even if sometimes I send a late message to ask for an extra slot to a class that I didn't sign up on time. I'm leaving the gym because I am moving to a different state for work. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Fantastic experience: Bay Area Boxing first welcomed me back in 2020. I was very shy about going there, but Jake was very welcoming and helpful on my first day. They have a wide range of classes such as kick boxing, muay thai, to ju jitsu. Classes are offered from early morning to late evening to accommodate all different schedules. Their coaches are all friendly and offer all sorts of advice, tips, and tricks to help you perfect that punch. What sold me on the gym was the welcoming & non-judgmental atmosphere and seeing how diverse the community is there. Personally, I've made some great friends there and it wouldn't have happened if I didnt step out of my comfort zone and joined Bay Area Boxing! Thanks Jake and everyone at gym!! p.s. - the first session is free so go give the gym a try. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding Customer Service and Genuine Care My interaction with Jake at Bay Area Boxing was exceptional and I was very impressed. He went above and beyond to assist me with registration, even offered to provide me with a complimentary lesson to help me find what would be a good fit... He genuinely cared and followed back after a quick online inquiry and made me feel welcomed and valued as a customer. Jakes passion for his job and business is admirable. He deserves a five star for great customer service and care.

Fantastic experience: Visited for drop in from Canada, coaches and students of all levels were super nice and the training was lots of fun and a lot of good exercise! Thanks for the good time!

Fantastic experience: After being a member for over a year now I can confidently say this is one of the best decisions I have made. I joined for the kickboxing classes (which are fantastic) and ended up obsessed with the cross fit strength training classes. As someone in their 40's I can say I have never felt so strong and wish I had done this sooner. Jake Delaco and his team have created a welcoming and supportive environment with something for everyone.

Fantastic experience: instructors are amazing

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Bay Area Boxing for over a year now and I love it! My body has changed significantly, I’ve gained so much muscle, and I love the community as well. The kickboxing classes are fun and engaging, but my favorite classes are the upper and lower body cross training. I feel like a different person since going to those classes consistently!

Fantastic experience: To put it as simply as possible, if you think that all the 5 star reviews aren't real, you're wrong. The gym is just that nice (: All the coaches and people there are extremely welcoming and very easy to talk too, especially when your barely starting off, super kind in explaining things and very patient as well!

Fantastic experience: Joining Bay Area Boxing was one of the best decisions I've made for my overall fitness and wellbeing. Jake and his team are wonderful! The boxing and kickboxing classes are a great workout and I only wish I'd joined sooner!

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Great work out and awesome trainers.

Fantastic experience: The best decision I’ve made in the recent years was to join Bay Area Boxing club. I'm extremely happy with what BAB offers. Just wanted to echo the positive messages of other reviewers. Thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Bay Area Boxing since june of this year and I absolutely love this place! My bfand I go about 1-2 days out of the month for a mix of boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai fundamentals, and regular Muay Thai classes. All of the coaches are incredibly patient and willing to help you develop your skills and techniques. The instructors and members alike foster a community with a strong foundation of encouragement and camaraderie. I would absolutely recommend this gym to anybody! I have already convinced some family members (with little persuasion needed) to join the gym with us as well. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I've been a regular here for 2 years, I started with simple kickboxing classes and eventually moved into muay thai padwork and sparring. All the coaches are incredibly friendly. They allow you to learn at your own pace while challenging you if you want to grow faster. I've never been more fit in my life. ❤️ Bay Area Boxing

Fantastic experience: One of the most wholesome gym I've been to. Everyone from the coaches to members are very friendly and willing to offer help. Gym is super inclusive, people from all ages attend classes and works towards a healthier lifestyle. Cannot recommend enough!!

Fantastic experience: Very friendly, warm, and fun management, coaches, and students. They have a wide range of classes for any experience level, and all the martial arts you would want. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Bay Area Boxing is the undoubtedly best martial arts gym you will find on the peninsula. I walked in there with little muay thai experience and have been training muay thai for over a year. The coaches are amazing. Coach Mendoza is an amazing muay thai coach for people just starting out and for those who are competition level. He really knows his stuff. his training sessions are not easy, though, but if you stick with it you will see the rewards. all of the coaches are fantastic and super helpful. they will all give you advice to help you towards your goal. the community is outstanding. the people who train muay thai and jui jitsu come in to train every single day and have been there for years. there are plenty of really good fighters in there that are always super happy to help you improve. the community is focused on working hard and helping each other, compared to other gyms where there are a lot of egos. overall, BAB has the best coaches, facilities, and community to make anyone into a better fighter, regardless of their skill level when they join.

Fantastic experience: With zero experience, my wife and I joined back in May and it's been one of the best decisions we've ever made. We've gotten to take the conditioning classes as well as the Muay Thai classes and enjoy all of them. The coaches here are extremely knowledgeable as they constantly push you and teach you new techniques/work on your skills. Both the staff and members of the gym are all super friendly making for a welcoming atmosphere and we've made plenty of friends since joining. I'd 100% recommend this gym for anyone as we've had family who have joined and love it as much as we do. Thanks Bay Area Boxing!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Bay Area Boxing since May of this year and I absolutely love this gym! My husband and I go about 5-7 days out of the week for a mix of boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai fundamentals, and regular Muay Thai classes. All of the coaches are incredibly patient and willing/eager to help you develop your skills and techniques. The instructors and members alike foster a community with a strong foundation of encouragement and camaraderie. I would absolutely recommend this gym to anybody! I have already convinced some family members (with little persuasion needed) to join the gym with us as well. Thank you Bay Area Boxing!

Fantastic experience: Bay Area Boxing is a great gym I decided to take up BJJ to get in better shape. I knew absolutely nothing about the sport, my buddy kept bugging me to try it out and I am great full that he did! Master Hulk and Jake are great instructors. Everyone that trains at the gym is very heblpful and respectful.

Fantastic experience: Amazing, clean Facility! Wide selection of beginner and advanced classes with great coaches. Huge area for workouts, multiple benches and squat racks available, as well as, free weights and machines. I work out here 6 times a week and there are always free machines to use. Overall had amazing experience here for past 2 years and people here treat you like family.

Fantastic experience: Best place to feel the burn and get a great work for a reasonable price!!! Can you tell I’m beat red!!!

Fantastic experience: Been going here for about 2 years. Bay area boxing is a great gym for anyone interested in/practicing martial arts, bag classes, and full body workouts. Jake and his instructors are super professional, helpful and knowledgeable. Whether you're a complete beginner or more advanced, bay area boxing has classes that will fit your needs, in an encouraging, motivating atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I can say in all honesty this place has changed my life for the better. Before going here I had not heard too much about jiu-jitsu and then one day, I took a leap of faith and decided to try it. Safe to say I really do not know what I was doing before training here. There are too many great classes here to mention but there are 4 instructors that come to mind that I would highly recommend. The first being Brian "Hulk" Fernandez Master Black Belt who teaches Gi and No gi Jiu-jitsu night classes. The second would be Purple Belt Troy Lemons kickboxing classes at 5:15pm. The third is Brown Belt Jake Tipton's mid-afternoon gi jiu-jitsu classes and he also teaches kickboxing at noon. Last but certainly not least is Black Belt Jake D's tuesday cross training leg day at 4pm. All of these instructors are great guys who will make you feel welcome and answer any questions you might have! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great Gym, great owner, great people, great coaches! I would personally recommend Alex, boxing coach!

Fantastic experience: I have been a BAB member for about 2 years now, and it is truly the first time I have ever been able to stay consistent, excited and stick to a workout routine. The coaches are always attentive, easy going, knowledgeable and highly skilled in their training. The owner, Jake, knows every member and greets us when we walk through the door, which creates a really welcoming and comfortable environment. There are a variety of classes to try - but I highly recommend the cardio kickboxing and cross-training classes! I have grown immensely in my kickboxing and weight lifting skills with the help of all of the amazing coaches at BAB. So glad I found this gym!

Fantastic experience: When I joined Bay Area Boxing, I wasn't sure how it will be. I always look forward and excited to go to Bay Area Boxing compared to other gyms. Each time I participate it's a new experience. The workouts are hard but fun. I only wished I would have joined sooner because I have never experienced anything like this. The staff, and members are great.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym, they are so welcoming to people at any skill level and as a complete beginner, I quickly felt at home. I've lost 60 pounds in 6 months doing mostly BJJ and the process has been incredibly fun. OSS!

Fantastic experience: Great Gym, great owner, great people, great coaches! I would personally recommend Alex, boxing coach!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Bay Area Boxing! I really like their methodical teaching, breaking down movements to their basics. Jake the owner is so down to earth and always goes above and beyond for his clients, truly sets the tone by always greeting everyone as you walk in. All the instructors have extremely impressive resumes so you're training with the best, they always make time to work one on one to make sure you are improving in every class. If you're looking to get in shape for a hot girl summer this is the place to be!!!

Fantastic experience: One of the most positive gym experiences I have ever had. An excellent gym, with knowledgeable, encouraging, and kind coaches. My past year training here has really boosted my confidence and my athleticism. Special shout out to coach Izzy!!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best boxing gym in the Bay Area! Jake is professional and ensures that everyone is set up for success. He knows every one of his clients and greets them with enthusiasm. The pricing is reasonable, considering you can take a variety of classes and have access to open gym! The coaches are patient, experienced, and make every class one to remember. I have gained so much knowledge about skills and technique just from one month. If you are looking for a lifestyle change and a community, join Bay Area boxing!

Fantastic experience: Working with the crew at Bay Area Boxing was such an enjoyable and rewarding experience. If you are looking for any of the following results, you should sign up asap: 1. Lost 15-20 lbs almost instantly 2. Increased my knowledge and practical experience in boxing/kickboxing/jui-jitsu 3. Through the encouraging and talented staff, was inspired to go even on the days when i didnt wanna go 4. Had a great time making new friends and learning applicable martial prowess. I could go on and on, but Ill sum it up by saying this is the spot and if you have even the slightest desire to join, give it a shot, you wont be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Great place to get a great workout whether it be boxing, kickboxing, muai thai or jujitsu. Jake and team are great, they make everyone feel welcome whatever your level of competency. Theres several classes a day with flexible, friendly and helpful coaches.

Fantastic experience: I joined Bay Area Boxing with no prior experience in any type of martial art or combat sport. I took their instructional boxing class to learn about the system and enjoyed every minute of it. Right from the initial consultation, Jake, the owner, was extremely accommodating, helpful, and always maintained a positive vibe. He answered any question thoroughly to make sure you have all the information you need to be set up for success. I worked with Coach Alexey in our group class. He knew when to challenge you and when to pull back. I definitely recommend this gym to anyone in the area looking to add to their health and wellness repertoire. The gym culture is also amazing. It has a community atmosphere where everyone is trying to help each other improve. I never experienced any toxic alpha personality at BAB. Any type of competitiveness was always extremely sportsmanlike. I would 100% recommend BAB to anyone looking to get started!

Fantastic experience: The best workouts and amazing coaches

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Took muay thai and bag classes here and had a great workout every time. The gym is very clean and is well equipped!

Fantastic experience: I took classes here for several months and only stopped due to a new job. All of the coaches and classes here are a joy to work with and attend. It's a warm and welcoming environment where you can grow stronger and punch out all your stressors, and it's one of the best priced gyms I've seen in the area. I will absolutely go back once I get my new schedule down.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly, clean, and well maintained gym. Staff and instructors are great! Highly recommend anyone to join.

Fantastic experience: Walking into Bay Area Boxing, I had no prior BJJ experience and only a small amount of martial arts training. I did not know how things would go, but wanted to give it a try. All I can say is that Bay Area Boxing went above and beyond in the services they provided. I enjoyed the BJJ sessions so much that I ended up taking some boxing and Muay Thai classes that were just as excellent. If you are someone looking for a professional, informative, and inviting environment to try out these awesome activities, look no farther. Get a little out of your comfort zone and just give it a try. I guarantee you will have a great experience with any of their offerings!

Fantastic experience: For anyone interested in developing skill in either Kickboxing or Muay Thai, definitely recommend this gym. The coaching is high caliber, with heavy workouts to get the blood flowing and plenty of technical pointers during sparring and non sparing classes. 5/5 stars without question!

Fantastic experience: I just love this place. The instructor are super helpful. The workouts are tough and a lot of fun. You won't be disappointed by trying it out.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been trying to find a gym for a while now that makes me comfortable and motivated. Little did I know I was going to be addicted to going to this gym and learning all kinds of new techniques and meeting a bunch of cool people. All the instructors are awesome and motivate me every class I go to. I take kickboxing and Brazilian jiu jitsu with Jake Tipton. My instructor is very focused and serious with what he does and teaches me so much just in one class! I’m also in a cross training class which is weight lifting with the owner Jake Deiaco and have already seen results in such a short amount of time. I love this gym. Don’t hesitate to sign up just do it!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely LOVE this gym and I recommend it to literally anyone and everyone who’s trying to smash their fitness goals or just trying to have some fun. There are so many great workouts and instructors to choose from and you can definitely level up to harder classes or even try sparring once you get comfortable. The staff is so knowledgeable and helpful and they all genuinely want to see you reach your goals! Whether you want to try boxing/kickboxing or muay thai or even jiu jitsu, they have everything and will gladly work with beginners. The gym is also super clean and is maintained really well day to day. Overall, I highly recommend this gym to anyone who’s looking to up their fitness game and have a great time while doing it!!

Fantastic experience: Great workout! Amazing instructors! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The gym is super clean. 5 different sections, one w bags, a ring, mats, weight lifting and a fan bike stretching area. The owner Jake is super personable and organized. All the instructors are knowledgeable and want you to be the best version of yourself in whichever art you choose. It is a great community and you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training jiu jitsu here for the past 6 years and am glad I call Bay Area Boxing my gym. Great instructors with lots of experience. There’s 3 black belts and tons of upper belts that are always willing to help. I’ve trained at a lot of different gyms and what sets this place apart is how it cuts out the ego, formalism, and other nonsense that usually comes with jiu jitsu which allows allows you to focus on your progression in the sport. People who train here have a good understanding of the fundamentals while being exposed to leg locks and other “new school” techniques. If you’re looking for a welcoming place to start jiu jitsu and/or fitness classes or you’ve just moved and need a new gym to train at, you should definitely stop by and try a class!

Fantastic experience: Great facility. Lots of classes to pick from and let me tell you it’s the community that makes you enjoy the training process, have fun working out->get results!

Fantastic experience: Friendly boxing gym with great instructors!

Fantastic experience: LOVE LOVE LOVE! I was hesitant at first because I hate working out in front of people, but Jake (the owner) made it feel so welcoming and comfortable. The gym is well maintained and clean, and the staff/instructors are amazing and very knowledgeable. They offer multiple classes through out the day, so you can always find something that fits your schedule! I personally love the kickboxing classes and Muay Thai Pad work. You learn a lot, and it is tons of fun. I recommend it to everyone I know!!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Awesome team. Had to end my membership due to going back into the office.

Fantastic experience: This is an all-in-one gym for martial arts, weight lifting, fitness, and cardio - basically, everything you want! The coaches are great, the atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming, and the owner Jake is super helpful.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out regularly for about 10 years. I’ve been to all types of gyms and Bay Area Boxing is definitely my favorite. They have an amazing and accessible owner, Jake. He is willing to help you in any way, from developing workouts to spotting you if your gym partner stood you up. The instructors are also exceptional, they are all very friendly and knowledgeable. They have a lot of classes throughout the day which are all fun, exciting, and challenging. I don’t feel out of place like I’m just going to the gym as a chore, I feel like I’m going to workout with friends because the members are equally kind and respectful. If you are at all interested in martial arts, weightlifting, or just an intense cardio workout, I highly recommend Bay Area Boxing.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this gym! The owner, Jake, and the various great instructors are very friendly, encouraging, and give you an amazing workout! They keep the gym very clean, organized, and have various classes so you can find a class to match your busy schedule. I have loved every class I tried, including kickboxing, instructional boxing, cross-training, and Jiu-Jitsu. Overall there is a great community in the gym, so you can make great friends and always count on a killer workout!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, been going here since it first opened and started with just the cardio classes. Luckily, the coaches convinced me try other classes like Muay Thai and BJJ and I have thoroughly enjoyed training and competing in these martial arts. The instructors here are top notch whether you're looking for fitness, recreation, or competition training. Love this place!

Fantastic experience: The lockdown did a number on my physical health and I was in desperate need of getting back into an exercise routine. Figured I'd give kickboxing a shot as a fun way to workout, but I had some reservations given that I've never done anything similar in the past. Turns out everyone here is super helpful and friendly, and they all took the time to explain the basic fundamentals of punching/kicking; the workout is also amazing! Highly recommend checking this place out.

Fantastic experience: I just love this place. The instructor are super helpful. The workouts are tough and a lot of fun. You won't be disappointed by trying it out.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. I came for boxing, but what I really want to comment on is the great customer service. Everyone is really friendly and the gym feels more like a community. Huge shout out to Jake, the manager.

Fantastic experience: I reached out to multiple places but Bay Area boxing was the only one to get back to me in a weeks span. Jake makes sure to call and talks to you to see what you are looking for. They have different program options for unlimited classes, a few classes per week or buying a group of classes to use at your discretion. They sell equipment on site and are very sanitary. Super friendly trainers that answer questions well (I ask a lot of questions). Definitely do YOUR FREE TRIAL CLASS.

Fantastic experience: Nice and clean environment. The staff are great and helpful. Jake the owner of the facility has a good and well rounded staff.

Fantastic experience: My son trained here. It's the real deal. Great atmosphere, high quality people.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a new place to without and off the bat Nick was friendly and welcoming. I asked about personal training and he was quick to offer a free session to check it out. What a great way to see if you like it. It was great, tough but enjoyable. It’s fun to learn to box, never realized how much of a workout it is. He’s also doing fantastic work with my son. Always a smile and full of energy. Place looks unassuming from the outside, drove by for years, but you won’t regret checking it out.

Fantastic experience: Perfect place to get started on your fitness and/or fighting goals. They offer intense classes that focus on cardio, endurance, and strength. Every trainer offers feedback and motivation based on your level of training and goals. Concerning MMA training, they have instructors for BJJ (no-gi and gi), muay thai, boxing, and kickboxing. They offer sparring and have a fight team for those serious about competing. Everyone is friendly! Please don't expect an extensive lifting set up, but they do have bars, benches, squat racks, and kettle bells for basic strength training.

Fantastic experience: The trainers are knowledgeable, motivating, and approachable -- I look forward to these sweat sessions every day!

Fantastic experience: I like this gym because of the variety of boxing/martial arts training & the cardioboxing classes is the best work out ever...fun and gets your aggression out. Nothing like hitting the heavy bag. Staff are super friendly and helpful.

Positive experience: Very clean gym, instructors are knowledgeable. The availability of sessions is also key to fit a busy schedule Would definitely recommend to others

Positive experience: it's a nice place and the trainer are doing a good job :)
