    Maybe I'm wrong, but if I wanted to do kickboxing here twice a week, (1 hour class ) it would cost $200/month ?

    I’ve been attending the kickboxing classes for over a month now and I’ve been enjoying my time so far. The instructors Mike and Ritchie are extremely knowledgeable and come up with some drills that really get your body going. Everyone in the class is friendly and helps you out without any questions. It’s a great environment to be in and I’m happy with my decision.

    Had my one-on-one kickboxing intro session with Ritchie yesterday, even though it was only 30 minutes long, Ritchie was friendly and went over the basics with me while keeping it at a good pace. Gym has a free weights area and overall great atmosphere. Excited to train here starting next week.

    InFighting is a phenomenal training centre with incredibly friendly instructors & clientele. The team is always there to help anyone, regardless of their level in any martial arts they choose to practice. Their customer service, both in-person and online, has been exceptional. Ritchie and his team can help you reach your goals with strategic planning and constant encouragement. I highly recommend InFighting to anyone who wants to get better in BJJ, kickboxing or increase their fitness level altogether!

    Great place! Great energy! Super friendly instructors.This is my first time trying kickboxing, it's been tough but with Ritchie and the team here it's been an amazing experience and also everyone is very patient with newcomers. Diverse group classes, everyone is friendly to each other. Perfect for a beginner. Nice and clean environment, conveniently located and the class hours fit perfectly with my work schedule. It has everything I need for a workout and also super close to my house.

    Great gym, great instructors and great atmosphere. I recommend this place to anyone wanting to try out kickboxing.

  • 5/5 Thomas V. 2 years ago on Google
    Great communication from Ritchie, friendly atmosphere, engaged instructors and an overall great place to workout. Signed up for the trial month but already made my mind to continue even from the first class. I encourage anyone that wants to better their health and fitness to give it shot.

  • 5/5 Nara M. 2 years ago on Google
    A friend recommended this place and I couldn't be happier with the friendly, relaxed community and the detailed classes. I'm a beginner in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with Ritchie and I love how holistic the teaching style is. I feel very welcomed, and the more senior students are so patient and willing to help. There's a great culture of giving back. Good classes and a wonderful community.

  • 5/5 Cristina N. 1 year ago on Google
    Clean, spacious gym, conveniently located, free parking, generous schedule. Great instructors, Ritchie and Michael, professionally and personally, very welcoming, engaging students all ages and levels, encouraging the beginners and 'raising the stakes' for the advanced. Friendly staff and students, excellent environment and energy, having fun while working out, perfect combination! <3 Thank you.

  • 5/5 Sam T. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently joined InFighting for kickboxing classes and it's been a terrific experience so far. Despite not having any previous experience, the instructors and students have been incredibly friendly, supportive, and more than willing to help me learn basic techniques. The facility and equipment are top notch, and my only regret is not having joined sooner. I would highly recommend trying the first month to anyone with an interest in kickboxing.

  • 5/5 Kevin L. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve tried a few gyms and Ritchie hands down creates the most welcoming environment for folks new to martial arts by far. He puts a tremendous amount of thought into the curriculum he teaches and provides a safe sparring environment where you can workshop the material you learn right away. If you’re thinking of trying out kickboxing or jiujitsu, just show up! Ritchie will take good care of you :)

  • 5/5 Anthony S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a fantastic place to train Brazilian jiu-jitsu. There is a very warm and welcoming atmosphere from both the instructor and students. Richie takes a hands-on approach, with a genuine desire to help you get better. The gym also has a huge floor space with barbell/squat racks aplenty should you wish to work on your strength and conditioning.

  • 5/5 Daniel L. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 JWBK 1 year ago on Google
    Great gym to train MMA and workout at the same time! InFighting offers great training program, fantastic group of members and instructors makes it a joy to visit every time. I thank Ritchie, Michael and Jamieson for their hard work. My boxing skills has improved a lot with their help of hands on instructions and active feedback during each classes. Enjoying every moment in that gym so far!

  • 5/5 Alex M. 11 months ago on Google
    I've been kickboxing and lifting here for almost two years now and it is now the best part of my day. Ritchie and Michael have cultivated an amazing community of positive people here. This is a gym where you can learn to throw a punch, lift some weights, and meet some really great people. Ritchie is always enthusiastic when he teaches, and he has a vast depth of fighting knowledge that he shares with his students. Michael is an amazing fitness coach as well, with cutting edge Kinesiology wisdom to help you improve your health and fitness. If you're looking to bash some heads in, this isn't the place for you. If you're looking for self improvement, friendly people, and an amazing challenge, come on in!

  • 5/5 YuChing L. 10 months ago on Google
    The perfect place for a newbie boxer! Ritchie and the instructors are highly skilled, professional, and incredibly supportive. They always go the extra mile to motivate and uplift you. Moreover, the entire class is filled with friendly individuals who create a welcoming atmosphere. I wholeheartedly recommend it without any reservations!

  • 5/5 N S. 11 months ago on Google
    Great place for kickboxing and jiujitsu. Ritchie and Michael are amazing instructors, they have great energy! Definitely recommend this studio for anyone at any skill level. It's a great place to learn and have fun while improving your technique and getting a good sweat!

  • 5/5 Z Y. 1 year ago on Google
    The instructors are nice and helpful. The gym has a really good teamwork atmosphere and everybody is patient with newcomers so it will make you feel truly welcomed and belonged. The teaching is professional.

  • 5/5 Kevin P. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing community with amazing staff members. I always feel like I learn something new here. I currently live in East Van but I still come to the Brentwood location due to the quality of the classes here. Anyone who is looking to learn some martial arts skills should definitely consider joining.

  • 5/5 Luiz F. 5 months ago on Google
    Ritchie's kickboxing gym is truly exceptional! I've had the pleasure of being part of this fantastic community, and I can't say enough good things about it. The gym environment is outstanding - you'll feel welcomed the moment you walk through the door. The camaraderie and positive vibes from everyone there are truly notable. Ritchie and his team are top-notch. They provide unwavering support and patience to all their members. I can still vividly remember the sense of accomplishment that came with every class, despite the initial muscle pain! The kickboxing classes at this gym are nothing short of fantastic. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced fighter, you'll find the training beneficial and enjoyable. I can't recommend this place enough, and I'll be sure to tell everyone I know about it! Thank you, Ritchie, and the entire team, for creating such an incredible place for people to train and learn. If you're looking for a welcoming and motivating gym, this is the one!

    I do Jiu jit su. 2018-2019 was the worst because of Coach John, I hate him so much. he was so strict. Coach Richie is very very nice though. He makes funny jokes. :)

  • 5/5 Sahibajot K. 8 months ago on Google
    Very supportive, positive community and friendly, skilled instructors! Absolutely love training at InFighting -- especially as a new BJJ-er.

  • 5/5 West Coast Lifestyle G. 5 years ago on Google
    Went there with a friend for a free intro class today . Had a great time working out (dont usually say that). It was very hands on and enjoyable atmosphere. Clean and friendly . Was so great to see the kids learn and play before my class. What a great environment.

  • 5/5 Bilal N. 3 years ago on Google
    Trained here a few years ago. Great instructors, students, and atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Andrew S. 4 years ago on Google
    This is my first gym I’ve ever joined. I started with an introductory 7 week kickboxing session and haven’t looked back ever since. I’ve been a member for almost 2 years now. The instructors are great and friendly and I do both kickboxing with Ritchie/Chris and strength and conditioning with Michael. All are very friendly and knowledgeable. Great for beginners and no meat heads at this gym!

  • 5/5 Nick E. 4 years ago on Google
    These guys are the bomb. Don't have much gym experience and I've been putting off joining because I was nervous to look like the new guy. Everyone was super friendly, informative and made me feel welcome. Currently sitting at home resting because my body hurts in the best way possible, which is exactly what I came for. Couldn't recommend trying this place out enough.

  • 5/5 Abbie R. 4 years ago on Google
    Had my first free training session here today and the level of support, encouragement and confidence building was apparent from the get go. Really big spacious gym and it's obvious how much Ritchie cares about everyone who comes through it! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to know more about BJJ 👍

  • 5/5 khai l. 4 years ago on Google
    Friendly and professional instructor. Great place to learn self-defense and make friends. I have great time there and the gym equipments is pretty nice. Great people, great place and clean.

  • 5/5 Alek S. 4 years ago on Google
    The intro session was very informative. There was absolutely no previous experience required. The guys there were approachable and the gym in general had a good vibe. Definitely planning on training here again.

  • 5/5 Phillip C. 4 years ago on Google
    I was in for my first free introductory kickboxing class today. The instructors are great, very informative and encouraging. I got a lot out of even my very first class and signed up for a membership afterwards. Highly recommend if you are looking for a good beginner class that gets you into learning and fun right away

  • 5/5 Andre P. 4 years ago on Google
    We’re back at InFighting and the instructors and owner remembered us from years ago. They were full of kids training hard and at least 4 instructors actively on the mat with the kids. Thanks for the great training atmosphere.🤜🏼

  • 5/5 Josh H. 1 year ago on Google
    InFighting was more than accommodating for me as a beginner, and the instructors were engaged and friendly. Their facilities were clean, and the classes were full of friendly faces!

  • 5/5 Eric C. 5 years ago on Google
    The instructors at infighting and BBY BJJ are fantastic group of people. The classes are very engaging and taught by very knowledgable instructors. The atmosphere is very team-like which makes training very enjoyable. Have been a member for few years now and definitely recommend to friends and family.

  • 5/5 Jacob M. 6 years ago on Google
    I went in for my free trial class and had 1-on-1 instruction and demonstration with the owner. You can tell this place is run by people who love the sport and what they do, and as far as I'm concerned that puts this gym so far above any chain brand. If you have any interest in learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I 100% recommend making a stop at this place.

  • 5/5 Imran R. 6 years ago on Google
    This place is awesome! Really clean place and lots of space! Also, the people at this gym are very friendly and the owner John is great. I got to get my first day of my 7 day free trial last night and I had Zac as my instructor. Really amazing guy who teaches very well and is patient with those who are new with Martial Arts! I really enjoyed my experience here :)

  • 5/5 Preet J. 7 years ago on Google
    Amazing gym. World class facilities. They have a great fundamentals class for jui jitsu that is perfect for those looking to get into the sport, but the instruction in the advance classes is so great that even a novice like me can follow along and do the techniques. Also there is a wide variety of belts and many black belts that come to each class that will roll with you. It's a very chilled relaxed environment with great instructors that love the sport. The class schedule is perfect as well. Overall would recommend highly to anyone interested in mixed martial arts and jiu jitsu.

  • 5/5 N T. 8 years ago on Google
    Fantastic BJJ classes

  • 5/5 Lachlan M. 9 years ago on Google
    I've been training with the InFighting team for 9 years now and have loved every minute of it. If you're looking for a killer workout with a great group of people, you have found your gym.

  • 5/5 Dave E. 3 years ago on Google
    Very welcoming environment, neat and tidy. Ritchie and Michael do everything they can to make sure that everyone feels included. If you are just starting or trying to get back to working out after a hiatus, its a great low pressure gym with good support.

  • 5/5 Dymow Barbosa, J. 1 year ago on Google
    Gym is very well structured and well located. Kickboxing classes are great for any level, and Ritchie is super attentive with everyone.

😠 If you are interested in basic gym membership, it's cheap, fine. They are not upfront about their annual upkeep fee (~$60). While it is on the Terms and Conditions which you need to read and sign off on carefully (which I did) , it is dishonest of them that they do not explain this to you. And this...
