Sparta Academy

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Sparta! This is a gym for all levels—everyone from competitive MMA fighters taking martial arts classes to those (like myself) with zero experience in weight lifting. It’s not intimidating though bc JJ, the owner, is such an expert that he can break down a movement to make it accessible to anyone. He somehow seems to know what I’m capable of before I know myself, so he knows exactly when to push me. That’s what makes every workout challenging and super effective. The gains I’ve made in just a few months have been unbelievable & fast! I’ve also tried a few kickboxing classes, which are a great full body workout. Added benefit is a supportive & friendly community working out here regularly so that always makes for a fun social atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: It was hard getting back into a routine after the pandemic, but finding Sparta Academy was such a blessing, I cannot say enough good things about this gym. I initially booked personal training with JJ. Not only is he a great trainer and dedicated to helping me achieve my goals, but he also helped push me to get out of my comfort zone & try the other classes offered there as well. Not long after joining I found a great community of people who are fun to train with and keep me on track. If you’re considering or have been wanting to try any of the martial arts this is the best place to do it. All levels are welcome and the all trainers are very patient and helpful.

Fantastic experience: A great place to train with a variety of material arts, friendly and knowledgeable instructors and fantastic facilities. I trained here for a month while on business travel and felt extremely welcomed from the moment I stepped in the door. I'll be training here every time I come back to LA

Fantastic experience: Great place. Been doing beginner boxing and joy Jitsu and some weights. Clean and friendly. Not intimidating. JJ is amazing.

Fantastic experience: Elite trainers and the best equipment I’ve ever used. The environment is fun and very COVID safe and clean.
