Comment: 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.

Comment: I moved to Newport Beach and was looking for a regular gym but also to learn boxing…..I tried several places before finding American Gym and it’s truly a one of a kind experience and community!! I can’t put into words how amazing the ownership, team, trainers and fellow members are!The facility is unique in the design as it has an outdoor area for more privacy with weights and bags, an area inside for lots of free weights and wide variety of cable machines and cardio equipment and you can jump on one of the 30+ bags available inside where you can find the ring and professional top notch boxing trainers. Love the layout as you’re never “waiting” for an area to get your workout in, people respect each others space and time.The diversity of their program offering is vast, boxing, kickboxing, jujitsu, Neurofit boxing, kids boxing and much more. If you’re looking for a personal trainer, look no further. They have several trainers that specialize in different disciplines or just for strength training in a ZERO judgement and super motivating environment like no other. It’s rare and a true gem in Newport/Costa Mesa.Take a group class, you’ll be HOOKED🥊 get in the best shape of your life and make connections with great people!!!Thanks AG😎

Comment: Been coming to American Boxing Gym for about 6 weeks, best decision I’ve made in years! I am already down 15 pounds and coming every day is becoming a habit. I am the type of person that needs direction and to be pushed when working out, the trainers are awesome and will push you through your workout. You just have to get here, they will help you do the rest. The entire staff is very friendly and helpful and the facility is always clean and welcoming. I highly recommend joining here and either changing or enhancing your fitness level.

Comment: Adding Jesus Soto Karass to the boxing training staff basically fixed the program. Jesus is legit he beat Andre Berto who was Floyd Mayweathers last real opponent. Around a decade ago it was only Steve Franklin teaching boxing here who is a crazy old man with CTE who was never a legit pro running the program. Steve was a grifter who wouldnt help anyone who didnt pay him for privates, so fighters at the gym taught newer fighters more than the actual lead trainer. Steve never had any discussions with new fighters on how to physically prepare to be in the ring at any point ever or even taught them proper technique without being paid $60 an hour. This is a 5 star boxing program now and a 1 star boxing program when I first attended about a dozen years ago so Ill split the difference at 3 stars. The fact that they let a guy who put his bank account over fighters long term health or this gym being a legit boxing program is unforgivable but after almost every boxer left, the gym owner clearly learned from his mistake so he deserves props for that.

Comment: Amazing gym for boxing and strength training. It is always super clean and the staff is very helpful. Jesus is my boxing coach and I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn from a true professional. He knows how to teach proper technique and he knows when to progress you. Book a session with him ASAP!!!

Comment: 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.

Comment: I did not know what to expect when I bailed on my yoga membership and signed up for a three day trial at American Gym Boxing. I showed up so nervous and was immediately treated with respect, smiles and kindness. I ended up going nearly 6 days a week just because I loved it so much. I never had so much fun working out! Plus it was the first kind of workout I ever did where my focus wasn’t on losing weight and changing myself but really about strength and self acceptance. I overcame a lot at this gym and I am so lucky I came across it. Unfortunately I moved to Australia so I had to stop going, but I won’t even try boxing here because I’m so attached to this place! It’s an old fashioned boxing style gym with a modern feel and super kind people!!!

Comment: Living on the peninsula its hard to find a good gym for a reasonable price. I tried the 24 Hour at the Triangle which was terrible. This gym is much smaller but closer to home which is cool. Gym etiquette is for real and I love how everybody keeps the equipment clean. They have everything you need to get a good pump, cardio with some flatscreens and if you want to mix up your training with combat you can. Small but worth it if you like to train in peace with little distractions. The busiest times are from 4:30 to 8:30 because of classes but other than that its usually pretty quiet. Brian keeps the place well managed and the staff is always friendly. Weekend hours of operation kinda suck because they close early but that is reasonable, also the towels to clean the equipment should be rotated out more often. I recommend this hidden gem forsure!

Comment: Unbelievable experience daily! Ive been an athlete my entire life and have developed relationships with a lot of coaches, trainers, ect. throughout. As a competitive athlete/trainer myself its easy to walk around with a chip on your shoulder, it happens all the time. The well accomplished Athletes/Trainers here at American Gym easily separate their personal endeavors from coaching those willing to learn and improve daily making it a very comfortable experience for everyone. It honestly feels like a second home! Along with the exceptional Personal trainers here youll find; the membership fees more than reasonable, professional gym management (Brian), and outstanding front desk customer service.Keep up the great work!Jason Hernandez

Comment: I specifically chose this place over the usual 24hr/LA fitness options because of the value. There are no juice heads or girls with make up taking selfies anywhere. All staff members and people are super friendly and the people that come in do so to get work done. There are classes every day and you also have options to pick up personal lessons and group classes from each individual trainer. I will gladly pay my monthly gym membership knowing I dont have to wait in line for the weights, there are no sales people walking around trying to sell me anything, and to know I can attend as many free classes as I want versus whatever those other gyms charge.
