From the reviews
JFM Boxing is a phenomenal boxing gym! If your training for an amateur fight or looking to get in the best shape of you life then JFM Boxing is where you want to be. The owner and staff are all friendly and motivated. Great gym culture and good sparring on Sunday mornings.
My wife and I started going to JFM's outdoor classes in October 2021 once a week, and we've increased to twice a week after a few months (it's currently July 2022, so we've attended about 50 one-hour classes so far). All the trainers are great, but the owner, Jordan, is by far our favorite.
I review food and treats all day everyday. Idk why I haven’t review my FAVORITE place to be in LA! I’m only ever here for days at a time and I always try to make a stop here because it’s THE BEST. Everyone at the gym is so welcoming and there’s a nice community there along with instructors that know how to teach!
Been a member of this gym for a year now and its been a great experience. Jordan is the best owner, really cares for his clients. All the coaches here run great workouts. Sparring on Sundays is the icing on the cake, will definitely keep coming back as long as I can.
New to muay thai? Start at JFM Boxing Club
JFM Boxing Club 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 JFM Boxing Club
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.
