The West Coast Athletics Difference

One Gym. Multiple Ways to Train.

Most gyms make you choose. At West Coast Athletics, strength training, personal coaching and martial arts live under one roof. You can come here to get in shape, learn to box, train BJJ, prepare for a sport, or help your child develop athletic skills.

The goal isn't to give you more options. It's to give you the right options for where you are now—and where you want to go next.

Coaching

You're not left wandering around the gym wondering what to do next.

Structure

Programs designed around skill development, fitness and progression.

Community

A smaller training environment where coaches know who you are.

Personal Training

Personal Training That Actually Feels Personal.

Your program should be built around you. Whether your goal is weight loss, strength, conditioning, better movement or simply becoming more consistent, your coach works with you to create a plan that fits your goals and experience.

Your Goal. Your Program. Your Coach.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Starting taking my daughter her for boxing lessons and I love the results so far. Coaches Luis and Ariel do an excellent job creating a friendly and welcoming environment to the classes and are very encouraging and positive during the process. The owner has cultivated a very supportive and positive environment/community at the gym, and you can feel that as soon as you walk in the door. I came here with the intention of having my 10yr old daughter learn some self defense and build some confidence, but with how good the vibes are and how fun it looks striking, I’m probably gonna start taking classes soon!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been training with owner/trainer, Christian Wadwa, for about three years now, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. He helped me get into the best shape of my life while always holding me accountable and keeping me consistent with my goals. He’s also introduced me to the world of boxing and martial arts, which made training exciting and pushed me in ways I never expected.

A lot of people ask why I would still need a trainer after all this time, but for me it’s never been about not knowing what to do — it’s about accountability, consistency, and having someone in your corner. That’s what keeps you showing up!

Over time, this gym has become more than just a place to work out — it’s turned into a second family and a little sanctuary from my normal life. Now that I’m pregnant, I’m still training with Christian at West Coast Athletics and he’s made the process super easy while keeping everything safe and comfortable. Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough good things about this gym! My son has been attending for over a month now and he absolutely loves it. The atmosphere is fantastic,it’s a smaller gym, but it has such a welcoming, friendly vibe.
What's also great is that they offer personal training, and they are excellent at it. Coaches Christian and Ariel are wonderful and truly professional. They offer a diverse range of classes for different age groups, so there is something for everyone. If you’re looking for an affordable way to get your kids active or want high quality personal training for yourself, I highly recommend checking them out.
