My 8 year old son has been taking private lessons at Sugar for over a year. In addition to gaining boxing skills and getting a great workout, his self confidence and focus has greatly improved. Dana and all the coaches are amazing and are excellent working with the younger boxers. I highly recommend Sugar Boxing.

My 17 year old son Sebastian absolutely loves Sugar Boxing. He’s trains multiple times a week and gets so fired up about his classes and instructors and team mates. I have only wonderful things to say. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a positive environment and an awesome workout!!

I spent the summer in San Diego and immediately looked up the "best places to box." I thought Sugar Boxing looked like the best fit, and I was right! Dana, the owner, is awesome. She set me up with my trainer, Anthony, and we worked together twice a week for three months. It was always a great experience with good music and good vibes. They mean business in there but have a good balance of work and play. If you're looking to sharpen your skills one-on-one, definitely ask for Anthony.

My daughter has been coming here for about 1.5 years now and absolutely loves it. This is the only sport/gym she’s stuck with. I love how they not only teach boxing but are also teaching body weight exercises and mental toughness. The coaches are awesome too :)

Sugar Boxing is a gem. Unpretentious, well-equipped, and dedicated to helping one learn to box correctly. They cater to all age groups (I'm over 60) and I have found everyone from the instructors to the other trainees, to be inspiring, encouraging and a lot of fun. I was looking for a workout that would build strength and help with my balance and have noticed significant improvement after just a few months of boxing.

Been coming to this gym for 10+ years now. They offer a great mix of getting a great work-out and learning boxing fundamentals as well as in-ring application. Coaches Mike, Trent, Anthony and Josh all have personal fighting experience, so it is clear they know what they are talking about. Morning coaches Amber and Dana are badass and will leave you SWEATING!

Great workout, great coaches, and great facility. Could not recommend this place enough.

Great boxing club for youths and fitness. They really look out for the kids and are really conservative about making sure kids are fully ready before they move into contact boxing. Also seems like a good, fun, supportive atmosphere they’ve created here. My son had a great, positive experience here

I was visiting my in-laws in Encinitas from New York and wanted a challenging workout - spent some time with both Dana and Anthony who put me through a grueling sweat and gave me a ton of technical coaching, something that I need a lot of help with. Will definitely be back!! Thank you Sugar!!

This is such an incredible gym! I’m so glad that we found it for our son, who is now 15, a few years ago. He feels so strong, confident, empowered by his boxing lessons and community. The gym truly does operate as a community building space to empower youth. I am deeply grateful and strongly advise everyone to join!!

I started in Feb at Encinitas Boxing just to see how this would help me my health. I am 72, I was little over weight. Yesterday was my yearly physical with my doctor. He asked what I have been doing since my numbers were off the charts and I have lost almost 12 lbs. This is the best I have felt in yrs. I go every Tuesday and Thursday. The funny part is even my doctor is thinking about signing up.Dana is the best teacher for sure in North County

Have been to other gyms with my 10yr old grandson that we’re good but didn’t have kids his age group that he could work with. Coming to Sugar Boxing changed all that! Plenty of kids in his age group and peer pressure is the best thing ever in this environment, he has made many new friends, is greeted by them with high fives. It’s amazing how fast he is progressing and looks forward to getting to the gym and work. All the staff here are professional and aware of what the kids needs weather it be instruction or encouragement. Dana goes out of her way to maintain a great safe learning experience.

Let me start off with the best gym ever!
I have an 8 year old little girl enrolled here. The coaches and all the teen kids here treat her with such respect. I couldn’t ask for anything more from this gym. I highly recommend ENCINITAS BOXING AND FITNESS for anyone who is looking for a gym for your children or teen. This is the place. I love it and kudos to coach MATTEO, JOSHUA, DANA, CODY AND MIKE.

Dana, Anthony, and the rest of the crew here are so awesome. They push you to work hard every workout and let you learn at your own pace. I feel super welcome every time I walk through the door and know I’m in for a killer workout. Whether weights, Muay Thai, or boxing it’s always the same feeling of accomplishment when you leave. Thanks everyone for an amazing gym experience!

A grungy but very functional gym that specializes in boxing. There is also a workout area and several small boutique Studios within the facility. One of the Studios using the space was offering a boxing class to people with Parkinson's disease. It was good to see that people with this debilitating disease have a space to work on their Mobility.

This is, by far the most fun I’ve ever had at a gym. Here’s why: I’ve been a gym enthusiast my whole life and I have always found it to be “necessary work” to stay in shape, rather than a good time.

Then I discovered Encinitas Boxing and Fitness. Suddenly, a workout stopped being a workout, but rather an exploration into how much I could develop my skills and how much fun I could pack into each session.

I feel that the best sessions are the ones in which you get a great workout, but you don’t even realize it. You’re there for the fun, but the result is, your body is getting in peak shape; far better than you would achieve by dragging yourself to a CrossFit class and going through the motions, or spending monotonous hours on a treadmill or weight set.

The cool thing about the boxing classes is that you are learning technique, timing, focus, skill, and you are so focused on the enjoyment of the learning process that you don’t even realize you’ve also had a great workout.

So many gyms focus on pointless, repetitive motion for the purpose of nothing other than burning calories or expending energy doing mindless repetitive routines.

Encinitas Boxing and Fitness offers fun, friendships, skill development, and has gotten me in the best shape of my life.

They offer everything from low-impact classes that focus on technique and skill, to sparring, for those who choose to take their skills they have learned to the next level. I’ve met people of all fitness levels there, and I’ve watched them undergo amazing physical and mental transformations. I’ve also made some amazing friendships along the way.

You can choose to take the non-contact classes, and focus on getting your body in top physical condition, and you can push your skills to more advanced levels. That’s the great thing about this gym. They offer everything.

Finally, I can’t say enough about the incredible staff. They feel like family to me, they care so much about their members, and I’ve gotten to know each of the trainers personally.

Every town should be so lucky to have a gym like this, and I’m so glad I discovered it.

Great boxing classes, both cardio and technique. They also have sparring and private classes with Mike, Trent, and Marty, all of whom are very qualified. Great facilities, you will get a great workout and learn technique! Easy parking, but the lot gets crowded at peak hours. Highly recommended!!

I have 2 sisters that also have a membership here. I write on behalf of my siblings when I say that Encinitas Boxing and Fitness is fantastic! The quality of the trainers is superb. Mike, the head boxing trainer is a master expert instructor, and his instruction, style, and motivation are second to none! Trainers Ryan (kickboxing), Alex (kickboxing), and Cody(boxing) are also experts in their respective fields and loads of fun. All the trainers at Encinitas Boxing and Fitness have years of experience that they bring to each class. They make the classes challenging yet fun! You can be assured that every class will make you sweat, learn, and love boxing and kickboxing! Each class incorporates cardio and strength building exercises, speed / mitt work, and heavy bag work. If you're looking to stay in shape, then there's not better way to do it than to do the classes here. Every friend I've brought here has fallen in love with boxing. The incredible instructors and trainers, the positive atmosphere and motivational environment, the multitude of equipment and punching bags, and the boxing ring all make Encinitas Boxing and Fitness to be one of the best boxing gyms in San Diego county.

This is such a great gym to go to. They have awesome instructors and lots of different kinds of classes to take - not just boxing. The locker room has a sauna too! Much needed after a hard workout. The prices are very reasonable too.
