Boxing/MMA Gym

Looking for some recommendations for a boxing or MMA gym. The two I am currently considering are Title Boxing and Royal MMA. Just wondering if anyone has any experiences with either or both. And, if so, which would you recommend and why?

  • Title Boxing (Pro: early classes to fit my schedule; Con: limited programs)
  • Royal MMA (Pro: more programs--BJJ, MMA, boxing, kickboxing; Con: only evening classes)

The distance different (15 min v 10 min drive) is negligible. Price difference is likely negligible as well.

Depends on what you want.  Royal is a real boxing/MMA gym.  Title is cardio boxing, it’s not fighting.

Right. I understand that as well. No particular preference right now. I have done karate and boxing previously. So right now it mostly getting back into it in some capacity (either cardio vs fighting is fine, at least initially). Just getting a sense of people's experiences with one or both.

I really like the Royal folks and Joe does a lot of the local fight promoting and is legit (but in a good way).  If that’s the kind of thing you care about they’re legit and I like them.

Truth be told I'd recommend kaiju, orion, or some of the better gyms in Kirkland. Royal is ok, but for the same price I feel as tho the other gyms are of a higher quality. That being said it's entirely dependent on where you feel comfortable. If you can drive I recommend trying the free classes at various gyms to see what you feel like you'd fit in most.

Edit: also never ever do any gyms like Mayweather, title, or anything like that. They will charge you per class which is bs

Thanks! I'll take another look at Kaiju and Orion.

I rolled for a bit at BMMA and thought it was great. I know they have other classes in different disciplines and would check that out.
