I was genuinely happy with this gym at first — the facilities, the training, and the community were all great. Unfortunately, my experience took a turn when I had to deal with their contract policies, which are surprisingly rigid and poorly communicated.

A few months ago, I fractured my wrist and asked to freeze my account. I was told I needed to give a 15-day notice. How are you supposed to give 15 days’ notice for an injury you obviously can’t plan? That felt unreasonable, but I let it go.

More recently, I tried to cancel my membership because my wife and I are expecting our third child in less than a month. I was told I needed to give a 60-day notice — something that was never clearly communicated when I signed up. When I initially called, I was told only the manager could handle cancellations and that they’d call me back that afternoon. No one ever did. I had to follow up myself just to speak with someone.

When I finally got in touch with the manager, the conversation was disappointing. There was no willingness to accommodate or even show understanding of my situation. I was sent a link via text to cancel, but never received any kind of confirmation email or message. It leaves you unsure if the cancellation actually went through.

It’s a real shame that such a nice place can sour someone’s experience due to inflexible policies and poor customer service. I even told them I planned to return once life settled down after the baby — but unfortunately, that’s not going to happen now.

Super friendly coaches, staff, and fellow students! Coach Eric is a personal favorite of many, including myself. Coming from a total beginner who’s been welcomed by everyone, this gym is a great one to start your martial arts journey. I battle a lot with my anxiety so I surprised even myself with how much I actually WANTED to come back again for the next class because the people here have made this a very enjoyable time. They'll work with you and encourage you to take your time so you never feel rushed. Really glad I found this place and looking forward to seeing how far it takes me. :)

I wanted to learn self defense for women and this is the best kickboxing and Muay Thai gym in North County San Diego for it! Nicole, the front desk girl, was a sweetheart and so knowledgeable on what to get. Silas, my Muay Thai trainer, has taught me so much already in just a few personal training sessions - he makes everything approachable and fun where you want to learn more. He’s a professional Muay Thai fighter and great at teaching.

This martial arts gym is clean and immaculate every time I walk in, with a bonus weight room and infrared sauna. Highly recommend going to this Carlsbad gym and investing in some Muay Thai or kickboxing personal training sessions!

We absolutely love everyone at Swiftkicks! I have 2 boys who have different levels of Autism, one of them also has Down syndrome and is medically fragile. Both of my boys attend class here. One of them does group classes and the other has to do private because he is medically fragile. Everyone, including the other families are always welcoming to both my boys. I will always recommend them to anyone who asks because it’s hard to find people who truly care and want to include people who are differently abled and this place is one of them. ❤️

In response to owner, “We see the same person over and over again spamming us over and over again at this point you have left us about 30 negative reviews all to bring down our score. Real classy.“🐿️
I’ve only left one review on each of your property profiles which is 2 😂😂🤣😭. Don’t know what drugs you’re tripping on. But if you want my description of the experience and not just a simple little star which you don’t deserve even one… Here it goes: I came to try this gym because I mostly had heard it was a good gym and everyone was friendly, great coaches, no one judges, peanut butter and jelly. So I attend a class with my friend the first day and the front desk person gives me my stuff and water, friendly yes. We’re doing the class and this coach was just winging it. Did not give half a damn about our performance. He just showed us the combo we were supposed to do and went around saying that everyone was doing good… no correction in form, breathing, or positioning. Kept chatting with the people his friends attending the class, near the end he told us to do 100 kicks on each foot on the bags meanwhile he was just laying against the ring on his phone. Then when the class was over it was just “Alright guys hope y’all have a goodnight everyone did good today”. I came here to learn something and have a good workout. One hour of the class and I started to get bored doing the same 5 moves over and over (no right or wrong way to do it according to coach) with no other workout besides the kicks at the end and 1 minute wall sit. Don’t remember the coach’s name but he looked like a Goodwill version of Tom Cruise. I came here a second time and it was horrible as well, totally different story but that would be too long of a review, unless you do want to know it and have me write it in another 1 star review that you keep seeing “over and over again”.

Overall enjoyed the gym when I went, but ended up having to cancel because of an injury. However, my membership was actually never canceled. Maybe a year ago, I was in conversation with someone from the gym about canceling my membership. They informed me that I would have to put it on freeze for two months first, which I did, and then I would be able to cancel. Two months go by and I reach back out via telephone and am told that all is good on my cancelation.

Fast forward a year and the account was set to charge to a card that had just gotten stolen, so I cancelled it. They reached out to charge me for late fees on it, which is when I found out I had been getting charged for an entire year. I ultimately should have made sure I wasn’t getting charged, but it also shouldn’t have happened anyway.

I reached out to the front desk and he assured me that I was correct and it looked like my account should have been canceled. I was then told someone above him would reach out to me with the details. I get a call from the manager that tells me it was my fault it wasn’t canceled, they don’t know who would’ve told me I was canceled, and that people don’t use their memberships all the time so it shouldn’t be a big deal to me. Mind you this is $1500 worth of charges. Manager kept ignoring my questions and using the same written lines to get me off the phone.

Be careful if you join and try to cancel, and keep written confirmation of it. I’m currently trying to recover deleted messages, call logs, and figure next steps and I can promise you it’s not pleasant.

If you're looking for a kickboxing club that offers both an incredible workout and a community that pushes you to be your best, this is the place to be. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted by friendly, professional staff who make you feel like part of the family. The trainers are not only highly skilled but genuinely passionate about helping each individual succeed, whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced fighter. What really sets this club apart, though, is the sense of community. It's more than just a place to train—it’s a supportive environment where people cheer each other on, no matter where they are in their fitness journey. The atmosphere is motivating, and there’s always a positive energy that makes you look forward to every session.

If you're serious about kickboxing or just want a fun way to get in shape, this club delivers results while keeping it fun and engaging. Highly recommend!

Very disappointing experience, recommend to avoid. At first it seemed nice, but after a few months it became obvious it's more of a "boutique" gym. The classes don't go over any actual techniques such as foot work, punching form, or anything else. During the classes it's common for the coach to essentially "punish" the class for the performance of an individual, meaning they'll state "if not everyone does 20 pushups then we'll do burpees after this" which is usually fine except I was just getting back into boxing (after a car accident) and didn't want to be singled out or the reason for someone else's extra work. When I spoke to the coach about it he just said that's how they "motivate" people which made me feel uncomfortable. But after some time, in the same month I was laid off, my car died, and I got COVID. I called and explained my situation requesting to freeze or cancel my membership and they said they would. But I was charged again and then told I had to send an email for the request, so I did and no response. Now even they continue to charge my back account for the full amount and when it's declined since I don't have the money, they have been charing me a periodic $20 late fee. Overall, I recommend avoiding this place and regret signing up. The "workout" they provide can be found in a youtube video.

Update: they have continued to avoid any contact about my account but have sent me to collections for the entirety of the year despite not attending more than a few months. It is legal since you sign a contact but it's is incredibly scummy and a terrible practice

I’m beyond thrilled to have found Carlsbad Kickboxing Club and its incredible team. I couldn’t have chosen a better place to learn this beautiful martial art. Practicing Muay Thai over the past few months has helped me clear and focus my mind, improved my body’s coordination, and made my soul feel lighter than ever.

Rolando and his team treat every student as a unique individual, focusing on their personal learning journey. The atmosphere at the club is welcoming and uplifting, making it an ideal space for everyone—from kids to adults—who wants to experience all the benefits martial arts can offer, including self-confidence.

I’m now eagerly waiting for my little one to be old enough to start training and develop a strong, peaceful, and disciplined personality that only martial arts can nurture. Without a doubt, Carlsbad Kickboxing Club is the perfect place for this journey.

Words cannot properly describe how kindly and generously I have been taken care of by the gym, and especially by Ashlyn, in a recent membership situation that, honestly, was our own fault. Ashlyn was tremendously patient, understanding and caring, and went out of her way to help us solve the situation. I am extremely grateful for her caring service, generosity, and flexibility. They even offered us a way for my son to return to the gym in the future which they didn't need to do at all.

Tldr: CKC is good for cardio and basic Muay Thai skills. If you're a serious fighter or don't know if you want to fight or not, this isn't the club for you. And whatever you do, don't buy the year or 6 month contract options.

Disclaimer: all the following information is my personal experience and I share it in good faith.

COACHES: When I first joined the club they had better coaches, who have since left, and to me they lost some credibility there, so I'm not sure they can claim authentic Muay Thai when their coaches don't really have fight records. Not to mention some coaches have had emotionally abus1v3 tendencies (and I don't mean typical tough love coaching) and questionable actions toward minors.
ELITISM: If you want to fight it's not about how good you are or how good you want to be, it's about fitting into the gym image, if you don't fit, you don't fight.
IMAGE: The gym is big on image, but it's very gilded. You have to wear all their gear to take upper level classes 🚩.
MONEY BUCKET: this business will drain your money, the clothes are expensive and not to mention the membership contracts can't be cancelled early, unless you move or have a doctor's note. I came in knowing nothing about material arts gyms, and I felt personally misled.
TEAM AND EVENTS: they have some fun events and team building activities like fight nights! These are great, but once again cost money.
PRACTICES: lastly, it's been my observation that Carlsbad puts on a good show but some of it is fake. For example, I have understood that certain people in this business have paid for questionable promotion to put down others. This includes giving out merch and incentivising leaving good Yelp and Google reviews. This isn't acceptable. It makes me wonder if all their good reviews are even real, or if their Instagram followers are just paid bots.
FINAL THOUGHTS: I learned a lot from this club, and made really good friends. My favorite coach, who I have nothing bad to say about is Brandon. CKC has no doubt inspired people to go on and be fighters, but no one stays, and it shows.

Very expensive membership costs ~$150 every month, require 2 months notice to cancel the membership which is not given notice for which could be done very easily with automated emails (I'm guessing they rely on people not intentionally cancelling to squeeze out an extra 2 months) and even with a request to cancel at the end of my contract date for unforseen car repairs posing financial burdens upon myself, they refuse to cancel the membership as said by one of their representatives "at the end of the day it's still a contract". Their business practices shed light on how they really view all their members as just a contract to their club.

After training here for over a year, Carlsbad kickboxing club has left a lasting impact on my life both physically and mentally. The amazing community pushed me to improve myself and make myself a strong leader, fighter, and friend. Rolando Montano has played a huge role in my life as a mentor and he always strives to make sure his students are strong and safe.

As a long-time member of Carlsbad Kickboxing, I can't express enough how much this place means to me and my family. The coaches are not only highly respected and knowledgeable but also incredibly loving and caring. From day one, we've felt like part of a tight-knit, supportive family.

This community has transformed my child, allowing her to flourish in ways I never imagined. The atmosphere is filled with positivity and encouragement, making everyone feel good about themselves. The coaches emphasize safety and ensure that all members, regardless of age, are learning and growing in a secure environment.

From the moment you walk in, from the front desk to the coaches and the owners, the loving and sweet treatment you receive is just truly amazing.

The techniques taught here are top-notch, and the confidence and strength we've gained are invaluable. I wouldn't choose any other place in the world for my kid, friend, family and myself to grow and train. Carlsbad Kickboxing Club has truly been a magical experience, making us feel welcomed, loved, and safe since our very first day.

I highly, highly, highly recommend this place to everyone!!! It’s truly one of the best places on earth! “Please don’t waist your time looking any further or else where, this is the place to be!!”

I have been a member of CB Kickboxing for several years. If you want a great workout then I suggest you try muay thai conditioning. Rounds training can be brutal but sometimes you must embrace the challenge. Most importantly, the school teaches proper technique which has led some of the kids to become national champions. I cannot not recommend this place more highly. If you are interested in learning a martial art, GO TO CARLSBAD KICKBOXING. You will not regret it.

I've had a great experience at this gym.

All coaches are motivating and good at assessing and helping grow skill. Classes can get intense but atmosphere is not intimidating. I appreciate how many classes there are 6 days a week, it's always easy to drop in for a few classes a week no matter how busy I am. Nadine and the rest of the front desk staff are always friendly and helpful. Definitely satisfied overall, if you make the time and effort it's worth the price.

I had a horrendous experience at Carlsbad Kickbox gym. The owner's attitude was appalling - hostile, rude, and utterly narcissistic. His behavior made numerous women uncomfortable to the extent that they eventually left the gym. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this place at all costs. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.

I recently moved away from the San Diego area and can honestly say that CKC was an integral part of my experience there, making the decision to leave uniquely challenging. The community at this gym is second to none! Members will certainly achieve new heights in their fitness and lifestyle ambitions or goals. More than that, the culture at CKC is one which puts their members first and makes you feel entirely at home.

If you’re looking for a boxing/kickboxing/Muay Thai gym, or just a place to improve your overall well-being, then CKC is most certainly the place to be.

Thank you for everything Carlsbad Kickboxing Club!
