Jose Morales Boxing Academy

Fantastic experience: Whether you’re looking for a gym, a stress relief outlet, or a community, you NEED to be a member at Jose Morales Boxing Academy. I moved out to Sacramento a few months ago and had been looking for a gym to help me stay in shape for my job and meet some people since I didn’t know anyone in the area. I had previously taken some boxing classes during college and grad school, so I figured I’d try taking up the sport again. I looked at a number of boxing and MMA gyms all over Sac, Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Yuba, and Marysville, but I always found myself returning to the JMBA website. Finally, I figured it was time to visit the gym in person. Even during my initial visit, I felt like I was home. Every person I encountered was welcoming, kind, and helpful. The space was full of life and the facility was well-maintained. The staff knew the name of every single person who walked through the door (and there were a TON), and were patient with all my questions. Yesenia clearly explained the programs, pricing, and schedule to me so I knew exactly what I was signing up for and what I could expect during my introductory class and subsequent classes, and Dina and Kelly at the front desk were always checking on me during my visits to make sure I was enjoying my experience. When it comes to the coaching staff, you will NOT find a more knowledgeable or professional team than Jose, David, Alex, and Antonio. It is so evident how passionate they are about what they do because of the energy and enthusiasm they bring to the gym—whether it’s 4am or 7pm. They are extremely dedicated to their craft, as demonstrated by the collaborative efforts they make to hone their coaching techniques and create unique workouts that push their athletes to be the best they can be. Even though each has their own unique coaching style, each coach knows when to hold their fighters accountable and how to motivate them when they need it most. The coaches at JMBA are simply unmatched. And as for the members, you will not find a more welcoming group to fight through a workout (or life) with. I’ve been to gyms and group fitness classes all over the East Coast, Southeast, and Texas. I even worked at a group fitness class gym all through grad school in Alabama, so hear me when I say: this community is special. And it’s a testament to the culture that Jose and his amazing team have cultivated here. Come check out JMBA. You won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: The staff and coaches are patient, professional, and trustworthy. The training is top notch and very applicable to any skill level. There is never a day that I leave without sweating! From day one I felt welcomed at JMBA. Dina, Jose, Alex, and Antonio were the first ones I met. Their energy is on point! My fellow students are also a blast to train with and very easy to get along with. Come on over and sign up for JMBA. You will not regret it!

Fantastic experience: I wanted to mix up my workouts and decided to try Jose Morales Boxing Academy. I’m so glad I did. The team there is amazing, the classes are fun and challenging and you learn a ton. I highly recommend this place. Great for all ages too.

Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing with warm welcoming staff. I noticed that everyone is treated like family, whether you are a long time member or a newbie. I mostly love that this environment helped my shy and reserved child become more open and confident.

Fantastic experience: By far one of the best gyms I’ve been to! The environment there is nothing but positive, as soon as you walk in and you get greeted by the staff coaches and the members there it changes your mind set of your day. Followed by butt kicking work out that challenges you physically and mentally is insane! The coaches definitely know what they are doing, not only with the training piece but the motivational aspect of it. Hands down 10 out of 10 I recommend.

Fantastic experience: Jose Morales is the best boxing gym straight up. Everyone is treated equal no matter if your Pro or don’t even plan on training amateur. If you need discipline in your life or you feel like you’re in a stage where you don’t know what to do this will help you get back on track. Your investment for your health is bigger than what anything will make you feel. The gym has also taught me that everything is mental and that’s not something just applied in the gym but as a lifestyle. Shoutout all the coaches and people at the gym they are really the best out.

Fantastic experience: When you join the Jose Morales Boxing Academy team, you are joining a family. The staff there is amazing at what they do and they love doing it. The owner, Jose, and his team show you everyday that they truly care for you and your well-being. Even if you have never boxed before, they will make sure that you leave everyday learning something new or breaking new boundaries that you didn’t think you could break before. It’s not just a training facility but a way to build a healthy habit even if you don’t want to compete. If you can take 10 minutes out of your day to stop by, talk to the staff and check out the facility, you will see that you will not want to leave without signing up for a membership. You will instantly feel at home.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is fun & friendly staff, coaches and members. Energetic & high energy in every workout. All coaches are encouraging and helpful. Your ensured to have a good experience while learning boxing skills in an amazing workout. Thanks everyone for the journey!

Fantastic experience: This gym has gave me a new life . Great Gym and even better people . I appreciate all the coaches , teammates and staff. Thank you guys for being real with me. Appreciate JMBA

Fantastic experience: Came from the east coast to visit my mom for the holidays and checked out JMBA for a class and a private session. As a former fighter and current coach/trainer, I’m particular about where I go to train even if it’s just to sweat. JMBA has a real authentic boxing gym vibe, with good instructors and the hospitality and professionalism is better than what I’ve experienced back home. I ran into Jose on my way out and he embraced me with a welcoming “I haven’t seen you before” lol, which tells me he knows everyone who steps foot in his facility. I got nothing but good vibes from him. My one-on-one session with David was great. Very knowledgeable, shared some common philosophies, and I picked up a few new things. Overall, I’ll definitely be back when I come to visit my mom again.

JMBA has made a big difference in my life and outlook on getting back in shape. I loved the environment and the people. Every coach is approachable as well as every member. They make you feel like family, they remember your name and genuinely care about you outside of just boxing. I must also personally thank Coaches David, Jose, Antonio, and last but not least Alex, these gentlemen gave me the best every class and only asked that I did the same in return.

Fantastic experience: Since the first time I walked in the doors I’ve had an amazing experience with the JMBA team and the members.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, excellent coaches. I'm always made to feel welcome and the gym and never felt intimidated. The coaches are professionals and can work with you to achieve your goals, whether it be for fitness or for competition.

Fantastic experience: This was the best and easiest decision to come to this place. I’ve never boxed before, and this not only gets me in great shape but helps me understand the basics and fundamentals of boxing. I have been doing personal lessons with Coach David and he is a great coach in and out of the ring. He challenges and pushes me to be the best and strives to make me better every class.

Fantastic experience: This gym is terrific! What makes it that way is the instructors. Their energy, encouragement, and real life experience as trained boxers adds a level of expertise that is hard to find. Jose and his team are down to earth trainers. I am very pleased with the progress I've made here and I am so glad I joined.

Fantastic experience: My daughter Megan just started doing classes at Jose Morales Boxing Academy. She has nothing but great things to say about this gym ! It’s barely her second class and Megan and coach David already have a secret handshake ! Very personable gym we love it.

Fantastic experience: This gym is EVERYTHING!! The staff is very welcoming, while also remaining playful and down to earth. The coaches are extremely disciplined in their art, and very helpful. I actually look forward to get to my workouts here. I have so much fun here. Great camp to join if you're looking to invest in yourself.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training here since 2016. I began with zero boxing background and being a female I have not once felt intimidated. Jose Morales Boxing Academy is a very welcoming and encouraging place. Not just the staff but the members. The positive vibes are very contagious. Many places claim to be the best but Jose Morales Boxing Academy actually shows it in every way. The professionalism from the team, the punctual class times, the structure in the warrior program designed to develop the boxer into a world class athlete. Also this is home to two national champions no other gym in the greater Sacramento area has had a national champion, Jose Morales Boxing Academy has had two in a year ! The best boxing gym with out a doubt.

Fantastic experience: Jose Morales Boxing Academy is a one of a kind. Everyone there is so welcoming and it feels like a second family to me. The coaches are great and hold regular classes for those just looking for a good workout and have the Warrior Program for those looking to spar and/or compete. I’m so happy to be apart of the JMBA family and highly recommend it to anyone looking to box or get a workout in.

Fantastic experience: Jose is an awesome guy and I love training at this gym. They will teach you technique and at the same time give you a work out like no other. The staff and people that coach the classes are very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Highly recommend to anyone that wants to get in great shape and have a little fun while learning a new sport at the same time.

Fantastic experience: Jose Morales Boxing Academy has created an atmosphere like no other. At 45, I was slightly intimidated to join a boxing gym with no prior boxing experience (along with my two kids). Our concern quickly vanished. We were not only accepted, but welcomed and encouraged from day one! We LOVE it here!!!!The owner and coaches are all knowledgeable, fun, friendly, and motivating. There is a family dynamic here that is shared among the front team, coaches and the members. I HIGHLY recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: This is the absolute BEST gym to join whether you’re looking for an awesome workout or you are looking to train competitively. Each of the coaches put all of their energy and passion into giving their members the best possible workout, and truly care about us. I fell in love with boxing because of this gym! This place is a second home to many of us.

Fantastic experience: I spent all four years of my high school experience at this gym. There was never a dull moment at this gym. I was constantly feeling welcomed by many of the adults working out. They treated me like they have known me for years. Both main coaches Jose and David are constantly supporting me and go beyond just being a "gym coach". Kelly and many others at the front desk are really sweet and I have gotten to know them pretty well. I recommend this gym if you want a good workout and want to meet some friends a long the way.

Fantastic experience: I signed up for JMBA because my friend convinced me I could do it. I was really skeptical because I didn’t think I could box. I have done a few classes and my experience has been so positive. The coaches really want you to succeed and go at your own pace. I feel empowered and confident in myself by the support from the other gym members, the staff, and coaches. Looking forward to learning this new sport and getting healthy.

Fantastic experience: My son joined Jose Morales Boxing Academy two months ago and is absolutely loving it. The immediate feeling of the gym is Family. The energy is positive and welcoming and I couldn't be more excited for him to learn from the high level coaches and gain life lessons only boxing can teach. If your looking for a Boxing Academy that offers every level of training, check out this spot!!

Fantastic experience: Been to a lot of camps and the energy is always too pushy or in your face, JMBA is the best I been to! Coaches are always working to improve you as a participate of the gym and not ego driven like other gyms! Coaches are also not shy to help you achieve and push goals. All the participants are inviting and over all great experience!! also, the music be on point!

Fantastic experience: Ive been at the gym for a couple months now and I absolutely love it. Everyone there is so welcoming, the coaches, the staff, and my training partners. It doesn't matter what your skill level is, or what your goals are at the gym, we get solid training on a daily basis in a great environment. My technique is improving as well as my fitness level. I couldn't be happier i decided to become part of the team. I look forward to whats to come from training at JMBA long term. Whether you are a beginner, a fighter or anywhere in between, I would recommend this gym to anyone.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a gym that pushes you and makes you work hard while also making you a better person, this is the one. The coaches/trainers are amazing and genuinely try to help improve your technique or conditioning and accommodate all skill levels. Everyone there is very friendly and the overall atmosphere is one that I personally enjoy a lot. I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to get into boxing.

Fantastic experience: Wow! I cannot recommend this club enough. Jose has created a club that is professional, clean, and welcoming. He and the rest of the staff make you feel like you are a part of a family more than just a member. Coaches Jose, David, et al. create workouts that regardless of ability or current fitness level anyone can participate, learn, and be challenged, The classes are intense, extremely fun, and only 45 minutes long! I cannot believe the changes I am seeing in my body after only 6 weeks; not only I but my girlfriend as well. :) So if you are looking for a place where you can transform your body, be part of a caring and genuine community, then this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: JMBA is an amazing place. Alex is a great trainer that is very attentive to the people in his classes. He works with everyone at all levels. Dina is the BEST. 2 thumbs up to JMBA and the family environment.

Fantastic experience: There are not enough words to describe how amazing this gym is. All ages are welcome and it doesn’t matter the experience level. Jose and his team take pride in not just developing individuals boxing skills but they also focus on setting a great example of being a great individual inside and outside of the gym. I’ve been here for over two years and have seen the gym grow tremendously. The team here are always upbeat and inspiring. Bring your kids to come train or come in for a workout and you won’t regret it. Train with experienced boxers at Pro/Amateur level. You’d be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t give this gym a try.

Fantastic experience: I just started at jose morales boxing academy and it’s everything i was looking for and more. The front staff is super welcoming and will answer any questions you may have. The coaches are super knowledgeable and even though it’s a group setting they make it an effort to engage with you personally as you’re learning the technique. What i like most is not only is it a great workout but they actually coach you to become skilled in boxing. Really looking forward to my journey here at their gym.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this boxing gym! I travel 40 miles Monday - Saturday to get there, and it’s totally worth the drive. All the coaches are super nice and they’re able to easily explain to you on what to do. It’s not even just the coaches, it’s everyone that goes there! They’re all very helpful and kind. There’s a variety of sessions and workouts that you could attend and do!

It’s gonna be difficult, but it’s totally worth it.

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a boxing gym to sign up for you don’t need to look any further. I decided to sign up my son to Jose’s boxing academy and I couldn’t be happier with the decision. From the start, the staff has been super helpful in answering any questions I had and the coaches are super supportive and do a great job with the kiddos. Boxing is something new for my son and everyone at the gym has been super welcoming which has made it easy for him to feel comfortable. He’s only been to a couple of classes and I can already see him gaining confidence. Again, if you’re looking for a boxing gym to sign your kids up or yourself, JMBA is the place. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: This place...and all of the coaches...are awesome! I train here to get in shape and my daughter is definitely here to learn to box. We both love it. The atmosphere here is FANTASTIC -- coaches are supportive, push you to improve every day, and the office staff is great. My daughter trains with Amy and Alex and they have both helped her develop her skills and her confidence. My coach, David, has helped me use boxing as an approach to fitness that I hope to continue for the rest of my life. I have nothing but great things to say about JMBA!

Fantastic experience: I just started my Second month at Jose Morales Boxing academy and I can say this is far best gym. I have been to few other boxing and MMA gyms but the vibe you get here you can’t compete. All the trainers are very experienced in their work and take care of you. One thing I like the most is all the coaches even if you’re not in their class they make sure they see you in gym, that helps a lot to me with consistency also inspire me to not miss any days and make me push more. I would recommend this place everyone who wants to get into boxing career or just wanna workout.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! I did not have any previous boxing experience . Jose and David are a great instructors and really taught me valuable footwork and handwork and put me through a great workout. I promise you you will leave exhausted yet satisfied! If you are looking to learn and advance your boxing fundamentals, as well as get a tough workout in. Front desk Kelly and Claudia are the sweetest! this is the place for you. Positive demeanor and knowledge also makes it really fun. Overall, a great experience!
