Such a great experience, feels like family and great instructors. They even address me by name. Made me feel welcomed and invited. Close by to where I live. Parking is a bit tight but get there early enough to find a spot. I wanted to switch up my routine of dance and fitness and put on some gloves. THE BEST part is the customer service….Gabby rocks…thanks love for taking care of me and walking me through every step. Positively unforgettable.

I tried BJJ, boxing, Muay Thai and weight lifting here for the first time and fell in love. This is my local neighborhood MMA gym and I’m so thankful to live close by. Marcus, Mishel, Rafa, and Chris all have a contagious energy that makes you want to become your best version. The mixture of professional athletes, fighters and students here is influential and inspiring. I’ve learned so much about self defense and I’ve grown as an overall athlete. I always get an amazing workout every, single time! I feel stronger, more confident and healthier than ever before. I love the fact that you can take a class here taught by professional fighters and learn the building blocks of self defense and martial arts in a very comfortable atmosphere. My two boys are also showing real growth from the kids MMA class. Coach Angel and Cherry are extremely patient and kind. I’m proud to be a part of a community so supportive and uplifting.

My children have evolved so much in the 5 years they’ve been training at this gym. They have amazing instructors and staff. Marcus, Mishel, and everyone on the systems team is remarkable.Cherry and Angel do an amazing job with the kids program. Even though my girls have grown out of the kids program, they still dedicate time to them. They’ve turned into family.Gabriel, the boxing instructor is exceptional. Amazing human being.We love Systems Training Center!

I’ve been going for a little over a month now. I’ve only taken the boxing classes and I do enjoy them. They are definitely a workout. It is a very modest gym but it gets the job done. The staff is very friendly and personable. The instructors make sure you’re getting the moves right and don’t mind going over a combination again if you don’t get it.

I had enrolled my son into their program and have only seen the best results. Thanks to Coach Cherry and Coach Angel both my son and self have been able to enjoy the time weve spent working with them. Apart from other extracurricular activities, this one has byfar been the most beneficial and cannot wait for more !

Ive trained at a lot of gyms, and can honestly say Systems Training Center is among the best. Great atmosphere, great coaching, and great people. Perfect place to come train/learn for new or experienced people. And bring the whole family too!

Was looking for a training gym to get in shape and learn some self-defense techniques at the same time. This gym and the entire staff are extremely friendly and inviting while leading you through classes as you work toward your goals. This has more a family vibe to it than a macho wannabe fighter vibe which I appreciate because I just want to exercise while learning some skills along the way. They have a lot of childrens classes and the adult classes are very friendly towards men and women alike.

Its that rare offered combination of technical knowledge, mindset training, subject matter expertise, professional experience, with rock-solid team esprit de corps, and genuine individual-oriented personal development that sets Systems Training Center apart from all fight/fitness organizations.Whether your goal is to fight professionally; as an amateur, be as fit as a fighter, or accomplish your own personal health, fitness and/or martial arts goals, Systems Training Center, and its staff and instructors are here to help you realize those aspirations.The coaches here go above any beyond physical training and sincerely look to impart guidance, and direction in developing your most confident and well-rounded self. Theres nowhere else to look if youre serious about realizing your potential; this is the time to start - and Systems Training Center is the place to begin that 1% better/daily journey towards actualizing who you know you can become.

Absolutely love this place. Been looking for a place to bring my daughter for MMA class for years. Absolutely love it. She adores Coach Cherry. My daughter gets so excited to see her and to come weekly. They have two coaches for Kids MMA. Coach Cherry & Coach Angel, they also have 2-3 assistant coaches to make sure theres someone there to help the kids. Amazing. When summer comes, shell be able to attend the classes 3 times a week as opposed to two times. My daughter is super shy and this class has really helped her with being able to make eye contact and partnering up with others.

I definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking to learn something new or starting on any personal health goals. Personally I don’t like the gym as I find it very boring and I’m also very uneducated on how to properly use the machines. However, Systems Training offers a variety of classes with a coach instructor. Being a new member, I felt welcomed by the staff, members, and coaches. The coaches are very attentive in making sure you’re in the right position when working out so you don’t hurt yourself. Also, I love that they push you to keep going!! It’s tiring and there comes a point where I want to stop working out but the members and coaches are very encouraging and push you to your limits! I love y’all 🤍

The coaches and staff made me feel right at home, everyone is professional and knowledgeable. I tried out Muay Thai kickboxing and quickly fell in love with it, also tried the fitness classes & got a good sweat out of it. BJJ classes were awesome too I know some people feel self conscious about grappling and such but the coaches made me feel comfortable and optimistic about training. Check it out! U won’t regret it.

This is definitely the best gym in the South Bay! Friendly staff and great coaches. They offer classes for adults and children, everything from strength and conditioning classes to self-defense classes like boxing, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu...Since I started in November of last year I have lost 25+ pounds and have packed on muscle too. Part of it goes to my own self-discipline. But special shout out to coach Chris who has helped me reach this achievement, by teaching me proper lifting and exercise techniques along with great diet advice . Also, coach Rafa who has helped with my kickboxing/muay-thai technique and conditioning. The other coaches are really knowledgeable too, I just havent taken their classes very much yet.The owner Marcus is is a really good guy, and very passionate about health and self-defense. I look forward to continuing to learn from him and to be inspired by him as-well. I can go on for a while on how Systems is a great place. My advice is, sign up for a month and see for yourself!

Amazing gym! The classes are excellent, the facility is extremely clean and the instructors are both knowledgeable and encouraging. What sets this gym apart from others are the quality of the private lessons. In private lessons, the knowledge, the patience, in the encouragement of the instructors are absolutely maximized and progress comes and leaps and bounds.

I have nothing to say but great things about this gym. I have been a member since 2015, but left due to a few personal reasons. I returned to the gym and I have been treated with welcoming arms.I take crossfit and kickboxing along with other striking classes and it is amazing! I love every work out and the greatest of all, it that the instructors push/challenge you to your MAX!!!I have nothing but positive things. I visited other gyms, but honestly, no other can compare.Thanks Systems!!!

Systems Training Center Hawthorne has something for everybody. It does not matter if you have worked out for years or if it is your first time at the gym. The instructors will help you challenge yourself and make sure that you reach your goal. Based upon knowledge, laughter and a love for exercise, Systems Training Center Hawthorne is more than a gym, it is a second home.

I first started training here in 2013 and loved it so much that I stuck around and eventually got a job here! This gym is like a family, something very unique when compared to big box gyms like 24 Hour Fitness and Golds Gym. There arent any egos and all of the instruction is top notch. There are two instructors in the UFC and the rest of them are pro or amateur fighters. Try a class and youll be hooked. I guarantee it.

Review №66

Great gym. Ive been doing kickboxing and jiu jitsu for a pretty long time now, so I have a pretty good idea of what Im looking for in a gym when I move to a new area.I usually look for:1) Knowledgeable coaches/instructors2) Good training partnersAnd most importantly...3) A gym environment with a friendly and welcoming culture.The culture thing is important for having everyone feel welcomed and relaxed from the time they walk in the door to the time they leave. Ive seen other MMA gyms have bad apples who try to intimidate newer people, and everyone just feels cold towards one another. That kind of environment drains you after awhile. At Systems, there is more of a big family feel and everyones just trying to help each other, no matter the experience level.Also Marcus and Mishel are incredible people and its impossible not to like them. Try it out!

STC is a great place to begin your fitness journey if you are the type of person that needs to mix up your routine. I cant stand going to a normal gym where I am limited to weights and treadmills. The classes here are awesome and there is a great variety. The instructors are extremely knowledgable and want to help you get into great shape. The best part is knowing this gym was started by a great fighter, Marcus Kowal! Check it out and you will realize it is by far a great membership for the price and the variety of workouts are the key to your fitness journey snd success. There truly is something for everyone!

Ive been here for over 5 years and it has become my second home. The people I have met here have become family. No one pushes me more than the incredible coaches. Thanks to our BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA and Fitness coaches I have been able to compete in BJJ and even had my first MMA fight. This place is like no other. Want to get in shape? Learn self-defense? Relieve stress? Challenge yourself? Fight or compete? This is the place. They offer a free class so take advantage and go check it out. Ask for my girl, Cherry!

This gym sucks!! I was told I could pay month to month and cancel at anytime. Since I paid up front after my month was over I stopped going and figured I was ok like the yellow tooth kid told me. They lied and proceeded to charge me for two months which I wasnt there. A bunch of liars, unorganized and the place stinks with no AC. Dont waste your time with these crooked people, management sucks!

By far the best gym in the south bay, its one of the only gyms I know that truly has a successful variety of fitness options. You could walk in off the street wanting to get in shape and jump right into a kickboxing or krav maga class or you could come in as an mma fighter and train with some of the best pros in the SOCAL area. Systems Training Center has it all, and owner Marcus Kowal is not only a great business owner but a great guy and awesome fighter/instructor as well.

I started training Crossfit here about a year ago and have had nothing but great experiences. They offer a variety of classes including Krav Maga, Kickboxing, Jiu Jitsu as well as personal training. The main reason I love this gym so much is because they have an awesome staff. Everyone here is super nice in helping you try to reach your goals (without putting pressure). I have been slowly seeing great changes in my body like weight and fat loss. They offer a free class for anyone who would like to come in and try!

I started out taking Krav Maga class just for self-defense, then I tried out Jujitsu, MMA, and kickboxing. I loved all the classes and its addicted to me now that I felt withdrawal if i didnt do anything...I love the staff here, they are friendly, nice and pleasant. The student here mostly and young and down to earth people, I dont feel that they have any attitude at all. The level of training here is top-notch and the price is most affordable in the whole LA! Check Them out, youll love it!! Thanks guys, Vallyn
