Undisputed Downtown

Been coming here on and off for years, great place cool atmosphere and a ton of classes to fit any schedule .
Herm is a cool instructor, down to earth and will give you one on one help when needed. Other coaches are also helpful, I’ve just had the most interaction with herm and old school Dave .
Been to other gyms in sd and always come back to undisputed. Check them out, decent prices great staff and open schedule.

I have try many trainers, and no one has ever make me feel and see a difference in my body, «Ty Franks», best trainer in Undisputed Downtown. He trained me hard and I see results, first week lost 5 pounds, His workout is addicting, THANK YOU!!! TY FRANKS!!! Highly recommended.

Been coming here for years, and although I’ve seen staff, members, and owners come and go I still feel welcome. I truly do feel like this is my second home from the moment I took my first muay thai class with Coach Nico to my first sparring session with Coach Herman i have always felt welcome in this facility. If anyone is interested in joining please give these guys a shot.

The owner is nice and very welcoming. I was nervous coming in here but the owner made me feel more comfortable. After a couple days I’m feeling more confident and happy that I signed up here.

Undisputed downtown is a badass gym to go to. Just like everyone says, you are treated and welcomed like family. When i first called this gym i spoke to rocco and was invited to come for a free intro class, i took boxing with nestor and rocco gave me a free one week trial after that. I ended up signing up when they ran a good holiday deal! Theres no reason not to come check this place out.
I know theres a few things people try to find out on these reviews so hopefully i can answer some
Q: is it a high pressure & pushy sales gym?
A: hell no, no one here will pressure you into anything. If they do you can punch me in the face.
Q: Contract required?
A: hell no, theres no contracts at all. They wont make you sign a membership contract. If they do you can punch me in the face.
Q: is it expensive/​pricey?
A: It is possibly the most (or one of the most) affordable gyms in san diego. Without naming names ive been to most of the big mma gyms in sd and this one is literally half the price of some gyms out there. If you think its expensive you can punch me in the face
Q: female friendly?
A: Yes, theres plenty of females here and they put in work! You will feel just as welcomed as the guys. If you dont you can punch me in the face
Q: coaches/​fellow members quality?
A: yep, all the coaches here are top notch, they know what they are doing. As for other members, you will not find Aholes here. Everyone is welcoming & will push you on when you need it. Beginners/​intermediates/​advanced are all mixed in and you will learn/​advance rapidly because of it. You’ll get along just fine, if you dont you can punch me in the face.
Q: How to get free intro/​trial? Credit card required?
A: Just call/​email/​instagram the gym and say «hey, how bout that free trial» and come on in. You dont have to put your credit card on file like some other gyms and your I.D. is not held hostage. If they make you do this you can punch me in the face.
I promise you will love it here and when you see i was right, i get to punch you in the face.
Thats all i got for now. So go hit up rocco and get in there. (I should take my own advice since ive been neglecting the gym).

This place is badass, rad, just freaking awesome. Huge gym, huge areas dedicated to training and friendly staff helping people become very fit. Felt very welcome on the first day and it definitely feels like family. Easy to get to and plenty of parking. Highly recommended for anyone serious about training!

One of the best gyms in San Diego. Great, very large facility with lots of space. All the staff are helpful and friendly. Always available to help in any way. They say they treat you like family here and that’s 100% true.
If you are looking for a great, down to earth open gym, this is the place.

I LOVE this place. Two and a half years ago I decided I wanted to try something different and since Ive always been a bit of a tomboy I figured a fighting gym could be a great fit for me. So I did my research and called the gym to ask some questions, Rocco the gym manager answered and invited me in to check it out. I recall being so nervous before I walked in, its very intimidating walking in to a gym dominated by men or at least thats what I thought at the time. Once I got in there and Rocco greeted me I felt much more comfortable and at ease, and after that first visit I knew this was a gym I wanted to be apart of. Every one is friendly and is almost like family. No better way to relieve some stress than going in and working out and hitting some bags.
Everyone is always willing to help and answer questions and if you are new they dont make you feel bad about it. We were all new at some point. So if you are considering a new gym I would DEFINITELY recommend this place. Very professional and friendly.
I hope you love it as much as I do :-)

Highly recommended place to train or just get a good work out in. What you can expect when entering the facility. Staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. This place is always in tip top condition. No one tries to act hard or too cool for school, even though most of these cats can tear you a new one. Over all 5 stars all day on this one.

Great classes… professional trainers I felt so welcome love!
the techniques are really awesome I denifetly recommend this place for anyone who wants to train. Love this place this is my work out spot for sure

AWESOME gym, people, and atmosphere! To say they are military friendly would be an understatement. As a new comer to SD (after being gone 10 years) I was willing to take my time and research the flooded Socal market of commercialized boxing/​MMA gyms. I called and visited countless gyms and was frustrated with all but one. As soon as I stepped into the place I knew I had found my spot.
If your looking for a true Rocky I feeling, technically sound, and super friendly boxing/​MMA gym you should stop by and check them out.
If your looking for the cookie cutter, name brand, Rocky III style gym save yourself some time and google UFC gyms.

Been coming here for almost, I think 3 weeks now. I’ve had time to try out all the classes, and while they are all excellent. I’ve really only found that I enjoy boxing. Nothings changed, other than I’m only paying $ 65 instead of $ 100 to be a part of this team. Everyone here is still humble and happy to bestow upon you wisdom and knowledge.

I’ve been coming here for years and they have always taken care of me and always given me a great workout. I’ve been fighting for 10 years and teaching for the last 8 and I’m always learning something new.
It can definitely come off as a little tough or standoffish at first but everyone there is super friendly and helpful and committed to making you sweat.
I mostly train boxing with Nester in the morning and he is a phenomenal coach.

I absolutely love this place! I’ve been training with them for 4 years and there’s always something new to learn, all the trainers are very friendly and knowledgeable! Every time I walk in I’m greeted with handshakes and smiling faces! It’s a feel good atmosphere that definitely makes you feel like everyone there is your second family! Would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to learn martial arts from just knowing and practicing them to serious competition. I’d also recommend this place to people who are just looking for a fun way to stay in shape as well! :)

I been on Unilocal since forever and never wrote a review, but I had to after training here. I was visiting San Diego and was not going to be in town very long, but coach Nestor still trained me like I’ve always been his student. I checked out other gyms but they didn’t seem to attentive when they found out I was a visitor.
A sense of community and ultimately family is one of the most important aspects that I look for in a gym and this place definitely has it. I trained for one hour and Coach Nestor has already made it feel like home. I will definitely be back the next time I am in the area; today will not be the last time this gym will see me.

Two years later, still here. Awesome place. Great workout. Nice instructors. Good vibes. Love it!

Great place to train, haven’t been here in years but when I trained here it was a great experience. The instructors are very knowledgeable and patient! Which was big for me coming from a Taekwondo background, I found it challenging at first to shift around the practices I had put in place for years, to learn new techniques for Boxing and Muay Thai. I would highly recommend this place to someone looking for a great place to train in and learn MMA.

I love it. I just joined last week. I haven’t taken all of the classes yet but the ones I have I’ve enjoyed them. If you have any questions the trainers are helpful. They have weight machines, tires, battling ropes and much more. A good place to train.

This is a cool little gym. Good atmosphere, nice location, two stories. I’ve been here a few times a while back so it may be a little different now, but when I went it was just a pretty average mma gym. A good place to learn fundamentals.

I was training a at Fitness gym downtown and it was so pertentios I could not stand it anymore… The trainers did not care as much as they did for your money. I went to UNDISPUTED DOWNTOWN My life has changed!!!
The people and the Trainers are so amazing!!! I love everyhting about this place!!! Everyone is there to work out hard and that is what a gym should be!!! I would never go anywhere else… By far the best fitness in San Diego!!!

I’m not gonna lie. .. I’m crazy and like to punch & kick stuff. Undisputed is a great place to unleash the demons. Seriously though, this review is way overdue as I’ve been a member for over 3 years. Trainers are awesome, gym culture is rad. I’m very blessed to be part of the family.

This place and people will treat you like a family. No matter what your training goals are, you will achieve it here.
Price for the membership is very affordable and reasonable, especially for that variety of classes and training programs, that you will have unlimited access to.
A lot of new changes are coming soon. So, this place will become even better.

Love this gym!.. Good people good trainer. I get a real sweat, and get a chance to put what I learn into effect. From the light sparring to real sparring. It always seems like people are ready to work with each other and sometimes they won’t go into kill you when they could. Unless your a pro then you gotta get used to it. Been to other gyms. And if you go there you will fight a punching bag the whole time. Which is good if you ever get into it with a punching bag!.. But that shit isn’t real likely Und1sputed is the best that I’ve been to.

I just signed my son up for a membership at this gym after looking for the last few days. I must say that city boxing was a totally unprofessional establishment and im just fortunate enough that we met the guys at disputed! new year new opportunities for my son!

I came here to get fit and gain sanity, and after training here for just 3 weeks or so, both areas are already seeing increasingly greater progress.
The coaches/​instructors here are fun and funny, which is nice — to be able to laugh through a brutal workout.
The other members are friendly, kind, and helpful — not pretentious or territorial.
It’s like coming to hang out with friends and family here — you feel welcomed and safe.
I am beyond grateful for how positively Undisputed Downtown has altered my daily mood and overall health.
Come be a part of this growing family — don’t be intimidated unless you’re a douche.
;)

I love this place! Every time that I’m in SD, I make sure to come by and take a class. Really cool trainers. Nestor takes his time with you. Really shows you the basics. Really friendly vibe. Large open space which was great considering how hot it was this summer. Really good, intense work out. I called ahead and Nick was friendly. There were some boxers sparring afterwards which shows that it’s a pro gym. I’ll be back in SD for a couple of months in the spring and I’m looking forward to being back here.

So it’s been more than a year now that I’ve been training here and no love has been lost for this gym. I still train Muay Thai under the bad ass Nico, and I can’t say enough good things about this gym and how much it has changed me.
As hard as the training is, as long has you put in work, you will see results whether it be in technique and/​or physique (I’m more technique because I LOVE to eat haha).
Everyone here is like family to me. Everyone is so helpful– I’m so glad to have found such a place to train.
If you do join, please don’t be intimidated. It might seem like a lot to take in– but trust me, everyone is so damn nice and helpful. Just be ready to put in work, know your limits, keep showing up to class and you’ll be fine.
MUAY THAI POWER!

Great Atmosphere.
Great Team.
Great People.
I’ve been going to Undisputed Downtown for 6 months now and I could not be happier with the gym. Everyone is willing to help from the trainers to the most advanced students.
Your first visit will be intimidating but if you can get over your initial reaction you will find out very quickly that everyone checks their ego’s at the door. Undisputed is a place where people train and not show off how much they can bench.
Take a class and change your life.
Herman will kick your ass into shape and Nico will turn you into a badass.
Go see these guys.

I started taking personal 1 on 1 boxing classes here last year during school as something other to do than the traditional gym, plus boxing has always been something on my bucket list of things to do. I sent them and email and within a few hours Albe invited me down to visit the gym and pretty much asked when I wanted to start, I was hesitant at first and wanted some time to think about it.
Over the weekend he offered me a super sick deal for a 12 lesson package of private boxing lessons for an hour each… i scooped up the deal and I have loved boxing there ever since. The guys that run the gym and train people, ted and nico, and a riot and a freaking blast to hang out with before and after my lesson… plus its really fun to just talk shit to each other.
I switched to Joe, because my sched changed, and in a little over 10 lessons he had be going 5 full rounds of 3 minutes each with him in the ring… these guys kick your ass into the correct for but at the same time they are there to help and teach you… they dont ever put you down or discourage you one bit.
I know gyms tend to not have maybe the best reputation, but this place is really legit… the staff is amazing and when I walk in there I talk to the other members, who I have never met, like were old friends. great people and a great time and when school starts up again, and im down in SD, i will be right back there.
