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.
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.
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.
If you’re looking for a place to learn martial arts in an environment that is filled with of people who friendly and passionate about helping you achieve your goals Gamebred is the place to be .
New to muay thai? 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 program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all 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 muay thai class at Gamebred Training Center
Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals 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.
