Frankie is an incredible coach both in the gym and out. Years of incredible experience. Provides a refuge to learn Muay Thai safely and effectively while still pushing yourself and getting better. Couldn’t ask for more in a coach or a gym.

Best gym in California. I miss the family the brothers and the sisters I build on this place and all the memories of ups and downs. This is the only gym I'll come back for in California cause they allow me to train till my heart and whole body shakes then challenge me for more. Coach Frankie is an awesome guy and is there for everyone and the most patient that will explain the why and the how. Berto is the best hype man anyone can ask. Jeff is the chillest that would hang and support me as well. Coach Allan is the best shenanigans but definitely a jiu jitsu genius and a WIZARD. Coach E is the most hardcore till you puke your heart out then go for another lap. Lastly Coach Sammy is the MUAY THAI BANANA TREE that keeps on giving😁

MMT is amazing! Jeff is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. All of the instructors are so friendly, supportive and welcoming. I come to every class excited to learn new skills without any fear of judgement or gate keeping, which is rare. 1000% recommend this gym!

This review is split into 2 parts. The fitness people who want a private gym and not some LA Fitness scam, and the 2nd review is for aspiring Martial Arts athletes.

If your looking for a gym to get cardio kickboxing in, use some gym equipment, this place is it. They have some amazing trainers if you want a 1v1 to help you with your fitness goals, they will help you reach it. I've seen it.

Now, if you're looking to get into Martial Arts, starting Muay Thai or coming from other backgrounds, this place is it. Frankie Mercado isn't just insanely knowledgeable, he's built champions and built fighters ready for the professional league.

I can give stories and examples of how this gym treated me, only being here 5 months and it's felt like I've been with these guys a lifetime. This here is family energy and if you truly have a desire to get to the mountain top, or any destination, Frankie and the boys will help you. But it's on you to stay true to yourself by showing up.

A blissful summer experience.

This Review is Long overdue so hopefully this Gym is still awesome today. I used to go to this gym back in early 2018 for a few months and I unfortunately had to cancel due to Military Activation orders. After that I moved away so I could no longer visit this gym but this Gym has been my Favorite! At the time it was great workouts, really loved how they had early classes (5 am) and Coach Masha was Amazing! Really had a great vibe and The owner Frankie also was Awesome as well. Really wish I had another gym like this one were I’m at now.

I have been training at MMT for 3 years, and it is more than a gym, it’s a family. If you are like me, you dont want to train in an over priced, overly fancy facility that doesn't know your name of have the equipment and coaches to really improve your mind and body. The coaches at MMT will surely help you reach your goals, if you want to get in the best shape of your life, learn how to defend yourself using Muay Thai/ Ju Jitsu or get ready to step into the ring, MMT is the place for you. I am so happy I found this old school oasis in south OC. Thanks MMT for all you have done for me and I highly recommend anyone stop in and check out the gym

Discover Your Ultimate Fitness Sanctuary at Frankie's MMT Fitness Gym – My Personal Haven!

As a proud member of Frankie's MMT Fitness, let me take you on a tour of what makes this gym my go-to workout destination. Picture this: a well-equipped space filled with a diverse collection of Kettlebells (up to 2.5 pood), rubber-encased Dumbbells (up to 80 pounds), powerful Weighted Barbells (up to 110 lbs), and an exceptional Hex Bar – perfect for my strength training journey.

The sight of the Squat rack, Olympic Plates, and platforms immediately fuels my motivation, while the various cable machines cater to both my leg and upper body workouts. Cardio enthusiasts, rejoice! The cardio section boasts 2 Peloton bikes, treadmills, stair climbers, Concept 2 vertical skiers, and the legendary Rogue’s Echo Bike – ensuring I never get bored with my routine.

But what truly makes this gym stand out for me is its dedication to striking arts. The Muay Thai bags, heavy bag, and expansive mat space make it a dream for someone like me who enjoys Muay Thai Techniques, Kickboxing, and traditional Boxing.

The heart of Frankie's MMT Fitness is undeniably its owner and head instructor, Frankie himself. Beyond his striking expertise, Frankie embodies kindness and approachability. His open-door policy makes the gym feel like a community, and his willingness to offer advice and support adds a personal touch to my fitness journey.

The community of members here adds another layer to the experience. It's not just a gym; it's a diverse and welcoming community filled with positive vibes, where I feel at home regardless of my background.

Frankie's MMT Fitness doesn’t just stop at equipment and classes. The flexible operating hours suit my busy schedule, ample parking makes life easier, secure lockers keep my belongings safe, and the filtered water station ensures I stay hydrated during those intense sessions.

Years ago I first walked into this gym after spending 7 days in the ICU due to my own poor decisions. I needed to improve my health and I am so thankful this was the gym I walked into. After a few months, and encouragement from the coaches, I started getting on the mats for Muay Thai, and absolutely fell in love with it. Friends and family both would comment on how my physical and mental health had improved since joining the gym.

I had to move out of Orange County and leave MMT so I tried a different school in my new location and I absolutely hated it in comparison to the amazing coaches at MMT. So I quit doing martial arts for multiple years.

When I moved back to OC (years later) I came back to MMT, and was shocked that not only did Frankie (the owner) remember me but many of the other members of the gym and coaches remembered me too. Since returning I've lost over 30 pounds and went down 2 belt notches.

This year I had my first fight and felt beyond supported by the entire staff and community they built there. They pushed me beyond where I thought I could go but never past where I actually could go, and with their help won my first fight.

If you are looking to get in shape and build confidence in yourself? This is the right place. If you're looking to learn to defend yourself? This is the right place. If you are looking to gain the skills to become a fighter? This is the right place. If you are already an elite fighter and want to train with men and women at a high caliber (people so good I struggle to comprehend it)? This is the right place. If you're a bully or have a big ego this is the WRONG place.

Whatever your goals are it's up to you to achieve them but this gym will give you the expertise, knowledge, and tools to do so and be in your corner the entire time.

This gym has been a life saver for me. After leaving a very bad marriage, I wanted to try kickboxing classes but have never really been a gym person and was pretty nervous. This place feels more like a family than a typical gym. There are all different types of people with all different skill levels and everyone is welcomed and encouraged. I usually attend the noon kickboxing/cardio class with Jeff and he is awesome! I have been getting back into shape and building my confidence along the way. I even brought my 10 year old son to some classes and he had so much fun and learned a lot! He felt safe and encouraged (plus as a boy, getting to punch something is always great). I can't say enough positive things about this gym. If you join not only are you supporting a small business but you are joining the MMT family.

MMT is the place to train at regardless of what level you're at! When looking for a gym the most important things to me are the skill level of the coaches, how comfortable you feel at the gym & the cleanliness of the place (especially if you're doing BJJ). MMT checks all those boxes n then some. No matter how many reviews you read there's no substitute for coming in n checking out the place yourself cause you'll see that the classes clearly speak for themselves!

alright, so I usually don't write reviews at all. But I have to tell you about this gym. first of all awsome people! (I am not just saying that because thats what people are suppose to say on a review) I am say this because the coaches are amazing. Frankie really kicks your butt in the kickboxing class, and so do the rest of the coaches!

the best part of MMT is that there are NO CONTRACTS, NO START UP FEES. This is great for my husband and I because he is in the military, and we will be moving next mid next year. I don't want to have to worry about cancelling contracts and so on.

Ok besides that, if you want to get a good work, burn calories and EVEN GET A FITNESS COACH, MMT can give that to you!

another best part, Frankie let my husband try the gym out for 3 days for free! (we signed him up right after!)

my point people is that this gym feels like home!

Very clean, welcoming place to work out. Frankie and the trainers are always mixing up the exercises in the cardio classes to keep it new and interesting. 21 fit day with Mary and Max Slipchenko is a great way to kick start a workout routine. Comes with a nutrition plan that's not a diet. It teaches you clean eating habits that will continue after the plan ends. You'll see significant fat loss and strength gains.
