From the reviews

Best gym in San Diego! This has been one of the best investments I’ve made. Whatever level you are at you will be well taken care of here. This is the best place to get in shape, actually learn a new skill, build your confidence, and surround yourself with some good people.

★★★★★ — Armando, Mar 2021

This gym is the real deal. From the moment you walk in, you can tell it’s built on discipline, respect, and a genuine passion for martial arts. The coaching is top-tier—knowledgeable, patient, and fully invested in helping every student improve, whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced fighter.

★★★★★ — Jordan, Jan 2026

I’m glad I found Gamebred, located in Eastlake. I used to train a few years ago and have not been able to find a good boxing/mma gym with quality trainers. Right off the bat the coaches Herman, Mark, and Nestor were very welcoming and I can tell they really care about their client’s progress in learning.

★★★★★ — Hector, Mar 2019

I have been going to Gamebred since they've opened. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else for my boxing classes, and to just work out. This isn't just a place you go and get a workout in; everyone here is like family. From the owners to the coaches to the members.

New to kickboxing? Start at Gamebred Training Center

Gamebred Training Center comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first kickboxing class at Gamebred Training Center

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
