Systems Training Center

Fantastic experience: Systems has great coaches who are knowledgeable and care about your progress. They have a wide range of classes, and the gym has good equipment and a hard-working but friendly environment. Everyone treats everyone with respect.

Fantastic experience: I started out taking Krav Maga class just for self-defense, then I tried out Jujitsu, MMA, and kickboxing. I loved all the classes and its addicted to me now that I felt withdrawal if i didnt do anything...I love the staff here, they are friendly, nice and pleasant. The student here mostly and young and down to earth people, I dont feel that they have any attitude at all. The level of training here is top-notch and the price is most affordable in the whole LA! Check Them out, you'll love it!! Thanks guys, Vallyn

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Systems Training Center and their awesome instructors for the last 2 months. It has been the best decision for my personal fitness and I have seen noticeable difference in my fitness and health since joining. Christos, Dima, and Marcus are excellent instructors and awesome motivators.

Fantastic experience: Hands down, a gym that has it all! great instructors, friendly & helpful staff, and a welcoming environment! Whether you are looking to learn from an array of martial arts classes or just looking to get back into shape, STC is the best place to help you achieve your goals!

Fantastic experience: I found this place when I was looking for a place to do Krav Maga and I really lucked out! Marcus is an amazing teacher! He is funny and very knowledgeable and demands a lot from his classes. Even when I feel like slacking in the class he is able to motivate me haha. This place doesn't feel like a regular gym, here they know your name and make you feel right at home :)

Fantastic experience: I started training Crossfit here about a year ago and have had nothing but great experiences. They offer a variety of classes including Krav Maga, Kickboxing, Jiu Jitsu as well as personal training. The main reason I love this gym so much is because they have an awesome staff. Everyone here is super nice in helping you try to reach your goals (without putting pressure). I have been slowly seeing great changes in my body like weight and fat loss. They offer a free class for anyone who would like to come in and try!

Fantastic experience: I first started training here in 2013 and loved it so much that I stuck around and eventually got a job here! This gym is like a family, something very unique when compared to big box gyms like 24 Hour Fitness and Golds Gym. There aren't any egos and all of the instruction is top notch. There are two instructors in the UFC and the rest of them are pro or amateur fighters. Try a class and you'll be hooked. I guarantee it.

Fantastic experience: Really awesome place to learn martial arts and self defense. Excellent,. knowledgeable and experienced trainers.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of meeting Marcus Kowal and taking two kickboxing classes in his gym and I have to say it was a great workout and a fun learning experience. I also had the chance to observe his personal training and as a personal trainer at another gym, I was impressed. Systems Training Center is an overall supportive environment that is conducive to learning.

Fantastic experience: Great training gym , great instructors

Fantastic experience: Systems Training Center is amazing. I had the pleasure of taking a kickboxing class with Marcus Kowal out in Hawthorne and he is an amazing instructor! I would highly recommend checking them out!

Fantastic experience: Love this Gym and the friendly atmosphere! Met and connected with so many members the first session I had! I also really love the personal training from Marcus Kowal, such a great way to get me in shape and disciplined.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending systems for about 3 months now and I can confidently say this is a second home to myself and many others who attend and join. The staff are always friendly and eager to help the students improve. The classes are ALWAYS fun and challenging. When joining systems you automatically see and feel the comradeship and community. Great place overall if you’re looking to improve yourself and push yourself to the next level, whether it be self defense or competing. I love my systems fam

Fantastic experience: Went for my free trial to check it out, it was cool, staff was really nice, everything was clean and professional. I had a really great first day so i signed up, i took every class they had and in two weeks i lost 10 pounds and have a vast knowledge of striking and self defense. I highly recommend this place whether it be for kickboxing, mma or just wanting to get in shape. I also love doing private training in kickboxing with Marcus

Fantastic experience: I had never stepped foot in a mma gym before. Systems Training Center of Hawthorne was a great place to start, for me. The coaches are very welcoming, as well as experienced & accomplished in their own respective martial arts careers. I gained invaluable knowledge in self-defense, and I got physically healthier & stronger. Training at Systems is the closest thing I've done to being part of a team sport, since high school. I joined the gym because I couldn't get myself to do at-home workout dvds anymore lol. Systems Training Center offered the accountability I needed. It got me regularly exercising again, out of a slump, and served as a reminder that physical exercise is probably the most effective method to raise one's mood & spirit. You'll meet some good, genuine people here, too.

Fantastic experience: Awesome coaches and a great place to train for people of all ages and experience levels! You’ll feel welcomed and feel like part of the family the second you walk through the door! I trained here every day for 6 months (unfortunately, I now live a little too far away) and it was an unforgettable experience! I highly recommend anyone to try Systems Training Center out!!

Fantastic experience: My favorite place to train in the South Bay. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, super friendly, and willing to put in the work to get you to meet your personal goals. Join. You won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely look forward to every session here. The coaches are extremely competent and encouraging. The culture here is welcoming and challenging. I've learned so much in a short amount of time. Well worth every penny and second spent.

Fantastic experience: I definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking to learn something new or starting on any personal health goals. Personally I don’t like the gym as I find it very boring and I’m also very uneducated on how to properly use the machines. However, Systems Training offers a variety of classes with a coach instructor. Being a new member, I felt welcomed by the staff, members, and coaches. The coaches are very attentive in making sure you’re in the right position when working out so you don’t hurt yourself. Also, I love that they push you to keep going!! It’s tiring and there comes a point where I want to stop working out but the members and coaches are very encouraging and push you to your limits! I love y’all

Fantastic experience: Anyone looking to become a better martial artist this is the place to be. From the great knowledge of the instructors to the welcoming environment there is no better place to get better in your martial arts or fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: I had enrolled my son into their program and have only seen the best results. Thanks to Coach Cherry and Coach Angel both my son and self have been able to enjoy the time we've spent working with them. Apart from other extracurricular activities, this one has byfar been the most beneficial and cannot wait for more !

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place. Been looking for a place to bring my daughter for MMA class for years. Absolutely love it. She adores Coach Cherry. My daughter gets so excited to see her and to come weekly. They have two coaches for Kids MMA. Coach Cherry & Coach Angel, they also have 2-3 assistant coaches to make sure there's someone there to help the kids. Amazing. When summer comes, she'll be able to attend the classes 3 times a week as opposed to two times. My daughter is super shy and this class has really helped her with being able to make eye contact and partnering up with others.

Fantastic experience: This is definitely the best gym in the South Bay! Friendly staff and great coaches. They offer classes for adults and children, everything from strength and conditioning classes to self-defense classes like boxing, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu... Since I started in November of last year I have lost 25+ pounds and have packed on muscle too. Part of it goes to my own self-discipline. But special shout out to coach Chris who has helped me reach this achievement, by teaching me proper lifting and exercise techniques along with great diet advice . Also, coach Rafa who has helped with my kickboxing/muay-thai technique and conditioning. The other coaches are really knowledgeable too, I just haven't taken their classes very much yet. The owner Marcus is is a really good guy, and very passionate about health and self-defense. I look forward to continuing to learn from him and to be inspired by him as-well. I can go on for a while on how Systems is a great place. My advice is, sign up for a month and see for yourself!

Fantastic experience: It's that rare offered combination of technical knowledge, mindset training, subject matter expertise, professional experience, with rock-solid team esprit de corps, and genuine individual-oriented personal development that sets Systems Training Center apart from all fight/fitness organizations. Whether your goal is to fight professionally; as an amateur, be as fit as a fighter, or accomplish your own personal health, fitness and/or martial arts goals, Systems Training Center, and its staff and instructors are here to help you realize those aspirations. The coaches here go above any beyond physical training and sincerely look to impart guidance, and direction in developing your most confident and well-rounded self. There's nowhere else to look if you're serious about realizing your potential; this is the time to start - and Systems Training Center is the place to begin that 1% better/daily journey towards actualizing who you know you can become.

Fantastic experience: Such an amazing school!! Trainers and owners are so knowledgeable and pushing you to your best!! Best workout no matter the classes you take.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Everyone is friendly and helpful and not to mention the workouts are killer. Definitely recommend and the prices are not bad at all!

Fantastic experience: I've trained at a lot of gyms, and can honestly say Systems Training Center is among the best. Great atmosphere, great coaching, and great people. Perfect place to come train/learn for new or experienced people. And bring the whole family too!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful training for both Jiu-jitsu and Kickboxing training. Would definitely recommend for both adults and kids looking to get great martial arts training.

Fantastic experience: I tried BJJ, boxing, Muay Thai and weight lifting here for the first time and fell in love. This is my local neighborhood MMA gym and I’m so thankful to live close by. Marcus, Mishel, Rafa, and Chris all have a contagious energy that makes you want to become your best version. The mixture of professional athletes, fighters and students here is influential and inspiring. I’ve learned so much about self defense and I’ve grown as an overall athlete. I always get an amazing workout every, single time! I feel stronger, more confident and healthier than ever before. I love the fact that you can take a class here taught by professional fighters and learn the building blocks of self defense and martial arts in a very comfortable atmosphere. My two boys are also showing real growth from the kids MMA class. Coach Angel and Cherry are extremely patient and kind. I’m proud to be a part of a community so supportive and uplifting.

Fantastic experience: Was looking for a training gym to get in shape and learn some self-defense techniques at the same time. This gym and the entire staff are extremely friendly and inviting while leading you through classes as you work toward your goals. This has more a family vibe to it than a macho wannabe fighter vibe which I appreciate because I just want to exercise while learning some skills along the way. They have a lot of children's classes and the adult classes are very friendly towards men and women alike.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome if you want to learn how to mix those martial arts or if you want to learn just one at a time…. And clean bathrooms and showers… that’s a big deal, a lot of MMA gyms don’t got those.

Fantastic experience: I felt right at home from day 1. I train Muay Thai and the coaches were engaging and motivating to everyone of all levels which I really enjoyed.

Fantastic experience: We love this place! My son currently attends the kids MMA classes. The teachers there are super attentive and patient with all the kids. They have classes 3x a week and the pricing is amazing. so happy we found this place!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going for a little over a month now. I’ve only taken the boxing classes and I do enjoy them. They are definitely a workout. It is a very modest gym but it gets the job done. The staff is very friendly and personable. The instructors make sure you’re getting the moves right and don’t mind going over a combination again if you don’t get it.

Fantastic experience: My children have evolved so much in the 5 years they’ve been training at this gym. They have amazing instructors and staff. Marcus, Mishel, and everyone on the systems team is remarkable. Cherry and Angel do an amazing job with the kids program. Even though my girls have grown out of the kids program, they still dedicate time to them. They’ve turned into family. Gabriel, the boxing instructor is exceptional. Amazing human being. We love Systems Training Center!

Fantastic experience: The coaches and staff made me feel right at home, everyone is professional and knowledgeable. I tried out Muay Thai kickboxing and quickly fell in love with it, also tried the fitness classes & got a good sweat out of it. BJJ classes were awesome too I know some people feel self conscious about grappling and such but the coaches made me feel comfortable and optimistic about training. Check it out! U won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: I have Know Marcus Kowal and his center for the last 10 years Having practiced various styles for more than 40 years, I am truly loving the striking, grappling and fitness offered at Systems Training. The group is very friendly and passionate for their love of training Feeling truly blessed to have the opportunity to practice at Systems Training Center

Fantastic experience: Such a great experience, feels like family and great instructors. They even address me by name. Made me feel welcomed and invited. Close by to where I live. Parking is a bit tight but get there early enough to find a spot. I wanted to switch up my routine of dance and fitness and put on some gloves. THE BEST part is the customer service….Gabby rocks…thanks love for taking care of me and walking me through every step. Positively unforgettable. I had to write more as I can not express enough my deepest gratitude, appreciation and gratefulness for this wonderful group of loving people as each of them make time to coach me with a positive disposition. To see the potential in me motives me to push even harder and encourages me to not quit. I pray nothing but God's best for this family owned business as there is something special and unique when it comes a place of passion and heart.

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym! This gym quickly turned into my second home. Everyone here is so helpful & genuinely care about you. There are no disappointments!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! The classes are excellent, the facility is extremely clean and the instructors are both knowledgeable and encouraging. What sets this gym apart from others are the quality of the private lessons. In private lessons, the knowledge, the patience, in the encouragement of the instructors are absolutely maximized and progress comes and leaps and bounds.

Fantastic experience: Such an amazing gym!! Both the coaches and staff members are extremely caring and will make sure to help you the best way they can. They make sure they take the time to get to know you on a personal level so that they can truly help you improve on whatever is your trying to work on. Everyone is very friendly and helpful and will make sure you feel the sense of community and family that the gym offers.

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable and friendly front desk staff. Well-maintained facility that features great programs and experienced instructors. I recommend this place to kids and adults who are looking to learn martial arts, get into shape, and enhance their mental and physical toughness. Highly recommend- 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to this gym for over a year and have gotten great results in that time. The coaches are great and provide feedback to help you improve. The gym has great energy and the people are very friendly.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. I've been doing kickboxing and jiu jitsu for a pretty long time now, so I have a pretty good idea of what I'm looking for in a gym when I move to a new area. I usually look for: 1) Knowledgeable coaches/instructors 2) Good training partners And most importantly... 3) A gym environment with a friendly and welcoming culture. The culture thing is important for having everyone feel welcomed and relaxed from the time they walk in the door to the time they leave. I've seen other MMA gyms have bad apples who try to intimidate newer people, and everyone just feels cold towards one another. That kind of environment drains you after awhile. At Systems, there is more of a big family feel and everyone's just trying to help each other, no matter the experience level. Also Marcus and Mishel are incredible people and it's impossible not to like them. Try it out!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Love the family atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff. Most of the classes are taught by professional fighters yet you won't feel intimidated.

Fantastic experience: I've been here for over 5 years and it has become my second home. The people I have met here have become family. No one pushes me more than the incredible coaches. Thanks to our BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA and Fitness coaches I have been able to compete in BJJ and even had my first MMA fight. This place is like no other. Want to get in shape? Learn self-defense? Relieve stress? Challenge yourself? Fight or compete? This is the place. They offer a free class so take advantage and go check it out. Ask for my girl, Cherry!

Fantastic experience: I have nothing to say but great things about this gym. I have been a member since 2015, but left due to a few personal reasons. I returned to the gym and I have been treated with welcoming arms. I take crossfit and kickboxing along with other striking classes and it is amazing! I love every work out and the greatest of all, it that the instructors push/challenge you to your MAX!!! I have nothing but positive things. I visited other gyms, but honestly, no other can compare. Thanks Systems!!!

Fantastic experience: The owner Marcus has a great knowledge about many kinds of martial arts. He and all his staff have a humble respectful attitude. I've tried many martial arts gyms in LA area and I am sure STC is the best place to work out.

Fantastic experience: Awsome I'm proud to be with Systems. They really look after you to improve your skills in MMA and other Fighting Skills. The classes are Kickass. My weight was 235lbs and I dropped down in 2 Weeks to 228lbs. Excellent environment. I'm happy to be there and look forward to become a Pro Fighter.

Fantastic experience: LT is an amazing crossfit coach. I have never stuck with anything gym related and because of this small place and her instruction I keep coming back. Owner and trainers are all awesome.
