It was hard getting back into a routine after the pandemic, but finding Sparta Academy was such a blessing, I cannot say enough good things about this gym. I initially booked personal training with JJ. Not only is he a great trainer and dedicated to helping me achieve my goals, but he also helped push me to get out of my comfort zone & try the other classes offered there as well. Not long after joining I found a great community of people who are fun to train with and keep me on track. If you’re considering or have been wanting to try any of the martial arts this is the best place to do it. All

As a female, this gym was very intimidating at first, but my SO was looking for a gym to lose the pandemic weight we put on and we decided to give it a try. We’re so glad we did because we’ve been so impressed by the results! We’re only doing the cross-training classes 4x a week and see better results than when we were doing HIIT classes 6x a week. I was afraid that lifting heavy was going to bulk me up, but it’s been the opposite - the cross-training classes helped LEAN me out. The morning cross-training classes are great. The class sizes are SMALL- like 6 people max per class. And I’ve

Hands down best dojo I've trained at. The owner, J.J., is an phenomenal instructor who has a considerable amount of combat experience; while also being an expert at passing on that knowledge. I lost 40 pounds in six months training martial arts with him and started fighting in tournaments after less than three months of training (won two bronze medals!). The gym is immaculately maintained and a strong sense of camaraderie exists amongst our teammates. Every tournament I've been to, our fighters take home multiple medals and we all have a fantastic time. Sparta Academy breeds champions

I started training at Sparta Academy after gym restrictions lifted and have been loving it ever since. I have personal training sessions with JJ who is a great instructor with excellent attention to detail. The gym itself is a fantastic facility which is well maintained. I've brought several friends along with me and they've all enjoyed their experience. Highly recommend.

It was great working with JJ, I felt accomplished and broke quite a sweat. He explains things well and pushes you to challenge yourself. Would recommend.

I have wanted to learn Muy Thai and take classes for a while now, for both self defense and fitness purposes. I found Sparta Academy, and I am so happy I did. From the time I walked in, JJ (the owner) had a great personality, super knowledgeable (he trained in Thailand) and accommodating. I signed up for 10 personal training sessions to learn Muy Thai basics on the spot. The gym itself is clean and very welcoming (definitely feels like a family already), and follows all Covid safety protocols. JJ takes the time to teach you proper techniques and encourages your progress. Looking forward to continuing

My friend dragged me to join in her training session and whoa! This place is no joke. The owner is passionate about what he does and it shows. Can't wait to show off my results this summer.

As a woman, I've tried different MMA gyms and have mostly felt ignored because I was a female. That is NOT the case at Sparta Academy. Everyone, especially the owner Jonathan, was friendly and were willing to work with me and treat me like I belonged there. I've made more gains in my strength and technique in the last year of working with them than I did at any other previous MMA I've trained at before. Highest recommendation!!

Sparta Academy is a fun and friendly place. JJ is very knowledgeable and patient when working with clients. He push you to be your best without forcing or putting too much pressure. Eddie is also helpful and make you feel welcomed. Definitely will be back for more sessions.

Since COVID started, I've been looking for a gym to workout in. I found Sparta about a month ago and absolutely love it. They have all the necessary equipment, it's always super clean, the staff/trainers are incredibly helpful and super cool, and they always have good music playing! Workouts are fun at Sparta. I'll be staying here

As a professional athlete, I absolutely love this gym, the equipment, and classes it offers. I took the cross training class and the next day felt the effects of the Olympic lifting workout I did the day before.
Highly recommend for high level athletes as well as anyone just looking to get fit and have fun with a good group of people!

Nice facility and great trainers!!! I had a awesome time taking their classes! They are focused on technique, but also challenge you to get you up to your goals. I was also able to learn different workouts which made things a lot more fun. Try sparta out if you can!

Started taking personal training here a few days ago and so far so good. The founder takes personal care to find out my goals and is super helpful with his advice. He pushes me but not in a way I can't handle.

Facility is clean with a full shower and there's parking. Pretty happy so far.

My SO and I came in here totally green to working out. These trainers were excellent teachers in showing form, designing a workout regiment, and giving motivation. I left my first class feeling satisfied and complete. The Sparta Academy LA deserves my highest recommendation.

I've gone to a lot of gyms throughout the US and this is as good as it gets. The classes are well-organized and taught to a very high standard. JJ, the owner, is a solid guy and an amazing athlete. Highly recommend to any UCLA students or young professionals in the area. Or really anyone looking to get into shape or progress in mixed martial arts.

JJ is the Bruce Lee of 2018


On the real. This gym is built from the ground up. Egos are left at the door. I've learned to do the best I can everyday. It's an environment unique to this area. I signed up for the unlimited MMA classes. The peers I train with & the personal instruction is next level. Def worth every penny. Looking forward to growing alongside my brothers here

By far the best gym that I have been to in Los Angeles, and I have been to a lot. The cross-training workouts are always different, fun, and challenging. Way better than any class I have taken at a 24 hour fitness. It is also very clean and everyone there is very helpful and friendly. If you are looking to actually get into shape and enjoy doing so I recommend coming here!

I took an evening Krav Maga class through ClassPass and loved it! Class sizes are smaller (there were 5 people total in that class) than the ones at my usual gym (UFC) so it was a nice change.

It is a really small gym. One guy was doing clean presses and you can feel the whole platform shake when he let his barbell fall. They keep it pretty clean and utilize all the space they've got!

JJ was a personable instructor. I got to see Kiara teach a little bit since she joined the class halfway through, and she was great! Overall good vibes, and no one was weird/had ego issues (which happens sometimes
