Review from Laura R.

Been coming here for 3 weeks and I can say I like it here. The trainers are good (I do the B.A.B.E class in the AM) both know what they are doing. I can see the difference in my arms and is only 3 weeks.
Pro: good parking in the AM, change of routines, and great atmosphere.
Cons: If one member in the class slows downs or slacks then the whole class suffers from it.
TIP: Bring you're A-Game!!! -

Parking f**king sucks. This place is nasty too. It's so dirty you'll probably get a staph infection if you train here. The facility is kinda run down. The weight equipment is old and broken, most of the treadmills are reserved for the trainers only, and the mats are dirty. What kind of gym doesn't have a drinking fountain. There are no lockers in the restroom either. I made a complaint to the manager and she told me that I wasn't going to hurt her feelings if I didn't like the gym, why the fuck would I care about her feelings. She had an excuse for all the complaints. Some of the instructors are pretty good but this place needs new management. For the price I was paying I expected better customer service. I heard Undisputed is cheaper and better.

Hopefully in a few months, I will write 5 of 5 stars but I'm a tough sell. Been helping what I can to try to make it a 5 of 5 but Rome wasn't built in a day. Great bags, lots of room, big mats, CLEAN SHOWERS and my bud Frank "The Tank"! Glad to be a member! Sorry Undisputed but we had to go somewhere else!

I went here for several months and I have to say it was the best place I ever trained at. I've been to several schools throughout my life and this place stands out. Here is why:
PROS:
1) Everybody is friendly and everyone has character. Usually the cocky people are to themselves and quit right away.
2) They teach you form when they notice yours is wrong
3) They don't force you to spar if you don't like.
4) They have a great variety of classes. You don't need to fight! They have classes based on strength and conditioning ONLY!
5) The bantamweight champion of the world trains here.
6) The trainers treat you with respect.
7) Talented gym
CONS:
1) Parking -

Who likes to see guys roll around with each other until they are all hot and sweaty? NOT ME, but if you love MMA and grappling like myself then that's what you will expect to see!
Growing up, my brother and I used to always wrestle and grapple with each other. We got a kick out of it. It was our way to show each other who the tougher guy was. My brother was always the tougher one out of us two. I mean come on, I'm a lover not fighter =p
He was always the bigger one out of us two and the one who always got into fights and always got in trouble. Did I mention he's my younger brother!? You would think the older brother is the one who looks after the younger one and beats up anybody who messes with him right? Not in our case. My "lil big bro" would handle anyone who messed with me. He became my personal bodyguard. (not that I can't handle myself, best recognize!)
We grew up watching UFC from the very beginning. We would rent the tapes from the video store and rush home to watch it. I would always hear him say, "let me try this move on you." I would then become the victim stuck in some hold, "tapping out" like a lil biatch. I knew from there, my brother can be really good at this. I used to bring him to my friends house just so he can work on his boxing skills. Shout out to "pity pat" for volunteering his body as my brothers punching bag. My brother even tried to train in MMA back when he was a teenager at this little gym called the Bullpen ran by UFC vet Tony Galindo. He couldn't afford the classes so he gave up on his dream of becoming a cage figher.
Fast foward to present day. My LBBB (lil big bro bodyguard) always got himself into trouble. From street fights to even jail time, he was going down the wrong road. I did not want that for him so I decided to sign him up at the Alliance Trainning Center. I wanted to give him back that dream he once had of getting into the cage and fighting. I mean, he always looked out for me so of course I want to look out for him. Family first.
We go in and sign papers. I get him a year membership for 89/month that includes all sorts of classes. From Muay Thai, boxing, Jiu Jitsu to wrestling. MMA at its finest. The staff are very friendly. Brandon Vera himself is a really cool, down to Eartth guy. Michelle Vera is a fighter too. Really cool woman. My brother actually admit, he is literally scared of Michelle Vera! (she can really whoop some ass)
People come to this gym for many reasons. To get into shape. To train to become a fighter. I came to this gym to help change my brother's life. Years from now if he becomes a pro fighter, I can be proud to say I helped him get there. If he doesn't make it to the pros, who cares. Just seeing how happy he is and to see him push himself is enough for me.
If I only had time, I would be in there trainning along with him.
Thank you Alliance! Thanks for giving my brother an opportunity to change his lifestyle.
Oh yea, thanks for teaching him new moves. It brings back memories hearing him say, "let me try this move on you" again.Listed in: ARE OH TEE DEE

We really enjoyed coming here until they turned off the AC and the place started to smell so rank it made my sinuses burn and my head ache just to be there for my kid's classes.
It got so bad in fact that we just quit coming even though we were still in contract because of the smell and filth level I was afraid my kids would catch something from the mats or equipment.
The instructors are great, and Brandon is a sweetheart, but whoever is managing needs to spend less time hanging out chatting and more time keeping that place clean and fit for patronage and running smoothly.
We would like to re-join if they got their stuff together. -

Alliance training center is an awesome gym. I love the TRX classes which are really challenging but also a ton of fun. The group is always very positive and encourages members to rise up and always improve. They also have great boxing, Strength and Conditioning classes, Thai Kick Boxing, Jiu Jitsu and grappling classes for adults and kids.
They also have some of the best fighters in the world training out of their gym, which is great if you are a fight fan like I am.
I highly recommend Alliance for anyone looking to get in shape or to train for MMA in a family friendly, supportive environment that still pushes your limits. -

I've trained at 2 other gyms in san diego and this one is by far the best. Worth every CENT!
Great instructors, amazing facility, nice members. We're like a family!
No egos...just fitness and fighting. -

The membership sales manager is a pain to deal with. The gym advertises a 30-day free trial both in the front window and on their website. Great, right?
Well, when I went in, the manager refused to give me the free trial unless I actually signed up for a membership with him.
Bait and switch -

Unlike some of the other training centers here in San Diego, Alliance is a very family friendly place. Alliance isn't filled with cocky tatted up asshole who grunt the entire time while training. its filled with kids moms and dads. I've been going to Alliance since October of 07 and is has been the most fun i have ever had. All the trainers are professionals at what they teach be it MMA, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Boxing, Yoga, and Cross fit. What ever it is that your into when you come to Alliance you know your going to get the best training and the best work out possible for your buck!

Review from Adel O.
This place is a great join. Been going to this spot for a year plus. A regret of mine, I don't get to go to my 24hr fitness because I'm addicted to alliance. Friendly instructors. Covers different areas from strength and conditioning to MMA beginners. Was intimidating to start at first but give it 2 months you will start going on a regular basis.

Same deal! I signed up in 07 and the gym closed for two months. They also gave me the run around and eventually ended up charging me anyway.I wish it were a bit different, id love to attend. .. Update: theyve actually changed and it's been quite refreshing to see the new customer service!

i joined in october 07 and i was told of all these great things that they were gonna get by january 08(i.e. a new weight room).they must be behind schedule on things. they also were closed down for two months for city code violations, which i didnt even get a courtesy call from the gym telling me that they were closed down. i had to find out through another friend that they were closed...oh and they still charged me for it. after my contract was up i gave them a 30 day notice to cancel my membership and they still charged me for the next month. i kept trying to contact the person in charge of finances and they were always out or the computer was down. i know that the computer line is a lie because another friend that cancelled his membership got the same song and dance from them. also it was like pullin teeth without anesthesia talking to this person who treats you with little to no respect. the trainers on the other hand were good with everybody. that is probably the only high point. if they ran things with a little more professionalism this could be a good gym to attend.
