During winter break I got to work out at this gym. Marcus was able to get us a great deal to check out the training center and get acquainted with his training style. What I loved about this gym was that even though I was a total beginner, everyone was extremely friendly and helpful! Even if you have no experience in martial arts or are looking into getting back into working out, I would definitely recommend this gym. Marcus makes working out interesting again

By far the best gym I’ve been to! I started going to Rukkus several years ago to try something different and I’ve been hooked ever since. Unlike when I was going to a traditional gym and I would find a reason not to go, Marcus motivates me to be my best and I look forward to going. It’s not your normal workout and every time is different. Marcus is always trying to give us more and get us at our best. In my 50’s I feel better now, more fit, more confident, than I did in my 30’s. Rukkus is a place I can go and I have that feeling of belonging. It’s not a big gym where a person gets lost, it’s a friendly place where I feel I belong! Marcus is skilled and encouraging and has helped me beyond words. I don’t dread workouts any more, I look forward to going and actually dread missing. No matter what your level of fitness, you never feel uncomfortable and everyone is helpful. So if you’re looking for a gym that will challenge you beyond belief, make you feel and look your best and feel comfortable getting there, Rukkus is that place.

I highly recommend Rukkus to people of all skill levels! When I started I knew pretty much nothing about Rukkus but your first week they take the time to go over the basic movements and make sure you are doing them correctly. Marcus and his staff are super friendly and the members are all on different skill levels. If you are just starting no need to worry and if you’ve been doing it for a while and like a challenge there are plenty of people to compete with! :) The coaches are great about catching any errors in your technique and encouraging you to push yourself. They are really good about explaining the workouts and are patient with people like me who still have trouble remembering what some of the movements are! :) On top of all that, Rukkus is a great to workout and train MMA style.

I’ve started attending Rukkus at February
Looking for a place not just to simply workout but to really challenge me mentally and physically. This place did that to me
I used to be the type of person who would prefer to just stay at home and do nothing but seat and watch t.v.
I got tired of it, want to make a change for myself and do something that will help me improve. So I looked up a place that’s a bit different than your average gym and Rukkus is the first one that came up in my area. Checked it once, now it’s the place I’m always looking forward to go to every friday. It’s not easy I’ll give you that. Especially for someone like me who isn’t athletic. But this place really makes a difference. It’s challenging, not always the same, and it will make you push yourself over the limit. I could say that I’m not the same as before. I have improve even if its just a bit. Will and effort plays a big a role.
Marcus is really helpful, he won’t just do stuff and say do what I just did. He will say what its for and he will teach you how to execute properly and safely. He also motivates me to put more effort on what I do. Other people there are nice, friendly, and helpful as well.
Damn didn’t know I could write this long review. it almost look like an essay.
So if you’re interested and want a place that could change you into someone more better than before
Don’t just read this review
check Rukkus for yourself!
That’s what I did.

I have been coming to Rukkus Training now for almost 4 months and I can definitely say that this is the gym for me! After driving by it almost every day after work, I decided to give it a try and have loved it from the start. I feel stronger, lighter, and more toned than I have ever felt and that is all thanks to Marcus. The training style whether it is personal or group classes is challenging but well worth it in the end. I have been to many gyms in the past and nothing has given me the motivation or results that I have seen after working out at Rukkus. The facilities are always clean and the other people that I have trained with are always welcoming, positive, and come from all ages and levels of fitness. All in all I would recommend this gym to anyone and everyone who is willing to push themselves for a «better best».

Time goes by so quickly training at RUKKUS and I love it! My first class was Kickboxing and I immediately enjoyed it… so I signed up. Now, I always look forward to attending the classes because each workout is different and creative. My favorite are the kickboxing and 30 minute Speed Circuit classes. Training at Rukkus is helping me build muscle, improve coordination, tighten my body and lose weight. Marcus (trainer) is patient and showed me proper technique. The people also training are welcoming and supportive. The training facility is clean and organized. I highly recommend Rukkus Training to anyone. All you have to is show up and let Marcus do the rest ;-)

I am amazed at the results I’ve gotten in such a short time training at Rukkus and continue to get with each week. Not only am I leaning out and getting definition, I am noticing gains in core stability, endurance, speed, agility and physical and mental strength.
Markus’ training is definitely unconventional to your typical gym going, personal training and group class experience. His training is challenging to say the least, it will push you to your physical and mental limits. It’s creative, and fast paced, you will never ever be bored. He is truly gifted and innovative at what he does, combining many different practices (MMA inspired training, Kombat conditioning, weightlifting, calisthenics, circuit training, interval training, the list goes on) all in one given workout to give you well rounded and balanced, awesome results.
The Rukkus facility itself is really cool, think MMA gym meets American Ninja Warrior. You have your open matts, punching bags, Dumbbells and Barbells, resistance bands, straps and harnesses, and basically a whole obstacle course suspended from the ceiling. It’s clean and neat and open.
The vibe of Rukkus is open and welcoming. There are clients of all shapes, sizes and level of fitness.
Coming to this gym is worth every penny and drop of sweat expended. I would recommend this place to anyone trying to take their health and fitness to the next level

I went in with my boss after a coworker recommended this place to us. We wanted to try the kick boxing class. Although it was a bit nerve racking going in with absolutely no previous experience — it was awesome! Its a group setting type of class, but small enough that the trainer was very conscioius of everyone around him. He was able to direct the class and still pay attention to us, who obviously needed way more direction. He not only showed us how to execute the technique properly, but he showed us why it was important do do it that way (avoid injury, more power to your punch, etc) — All without stalling the class. I like that he never had you do everything for too long, switching it up constantly to ensure that nothing you did was too repetitive, yet making sure you kept your heart rate up. His method of training, uses the time efficiently and not a minute is wasted.
Also, quick tip: if you slack off on the work out — he will notice, be mindful of that. He will let you take breaks, but trust me you wont want to. I am not in the best of shape, but I was still able to do his work out. Everyone who I encountered in his gym was super nice and very helpful. I would recommend this gym to anyone — worth every penny!

Easily one of the best all around gyms in Orange County. First class for me was all it took, I was hooked. Everyone is super friendly and Marcus (the trainer is great). He is patient and will work with you on technique until you get it down.
In just two weeks, I lost 10lbs and I had more energy throughout the day. I’ve done insanity and other workout videos, which were fine but Marcus takes his workouts to another level. I would recommend this gym to anyone who is tired of the same old gym routine and is looking for something different.

This is great gym for people of all skill levels and have various goals.
I came to the gym from a wrestling background and working out here really helped me improve my standup, kickboxing, pankration, and mma. The people workout hard but allow for all levels to participate in the workouts, which is really good for me.
I especially appreciate the way they work in strength and conditioning exercises during the sparring and instruction sessions.
I highly recommend this gym for a spectrum of people from those who want to get in shape and learn more about defending themselves with fundamental fighting skills to those who are interested in improving their level of combat skills and techniques to prepare for various levels of competition.
Thanks to Marcus and RUKKUS-​TRAINING for their help and excellent workouts!

Westminster, CA
I have been attending Rukkus training for over 6 years now, and nowhere has another gym challenged my mind and body to the point where you think you can’t but you can! At Rukkus training, no training session is the same, so expect the unexpected. When I leave Rukkus training drenched in sweat, knowing that my limits were pushed, and I achieved my goals of completing each and every workout the satisfaction is overwhelming. The innovative workouts Marcus has created challenge you in every way imaginable, from Cardio kickboxing, to Jiu Jitsu, to many different circuit style of workouts. When attending Rukkus training get ready for hard work and plenty of sweating! I highly recommend Rukkus training to all.

Traditional gyms don’t work for me. They are crowded, it takes forever to get a workout in, and for me, the results are slow or not noticeable. I knew I needed a workout program with an instructor to obtain results I wanted and to keep me from getting bored. I found Marcus and Rukkus Training. It’s gotta be, hands down, the most efficient and entertaining fitness program I have ever done.
Marcus has a variety of classes throughout the week and at various times during the morning and evening. He uses both MMA style combat and conditioning techniques in his programs and always incorporates a full body workout. This creates an intense workout that changes with every class and creates a type of muscle confusion that leaves me exhausted at the end of every class. With this type of training I have seen tremendous results in my overall well-​being, strength and physique. And, I feel even better every day.
In most classes Marcus incorporates fighting and self-​defense moves into his conditioning while taking the time to make sure the students are correctly performing the moves. So even in the pure conditioning classes the students are learning practical defense moves in a correct manner that can be incorporated into real life. In effect, students are taught to use MMA style moves in their workouts without looking sloppy. This instruction is incorporated into the fitness programs, so it never gets too technical or boring like you’re sitting through instructional classes.
Additionally, Marcus is not the type of instructor that yells at you to get that last pushup in, and he is not the instructor that is standing on the sidelines checking off boxes. Instead, he is in a happy medium between the two, where he is involved and makes sure you work to exhaustion, but in a motivating atmosphere that makes you push yourself to the next level without ever realizing it until it’s over and you’re crawling to your car. What’s really cool as well, is that Marcus routinely throws in «Fitness Tests» so that you can see your improvement, and you never know when they are coming.
And, because Marcus puts on so many classes each day, the classes are never overcrowded, so essentially you are almost receiving private instruction in each class which to me is invaluable. Plus, the gym looks like the set of «American Ninja» and is kept very clean, sanitized and organized.
So, if you are looking for a workout program that is extremely effective, intense, fun, and all the while teaches you real world practices, then I would say you gotta give Rukkus a try.

I was afraid to make a change at first but going to a regular gym for years became too monotonous and boring for me and I had to make a change for health reasons. I was prediabetic, BP going up, need to make my heart stronger. Marcus’ training programs target all muscle groups including balance. I have been training with him for 3 years and enjoying it. My goals are met i.e. Weight management, blood work normal as well as blood pressure. I am a senior training like a 30 year old and proud of it. I feel healthy and strong and have the endurance to do all the activities I enjoy. Thank you so much Marcus.

I’ve been coming here to rukkus for a little over a year now. Marcus is amazing, he helped me shed 30 lbs in a few months and has helped me tremendously with my mma game. If you are looking to get fit, get better at wrestling, jiu jitsu, or kickboxing I would highly recommend this gym. I’ll be coming here for a long time.

Tired of going through the same workout routine? Tired of waiting for the weights or machines at your gym because of how packed it is? If you want to change up your routine, have a personal instructor leading you through a different workout every time you show up, and want to see results, then you need to come by and see what all the Rukkus is about.
Rukkus Training has various workout programs that will get your ass in gear and help you reach your goals. Marcus is a great instructor and leads you through every workout. Whether you’re looking to fight or just get in shape, Marcus will get you there. You will be physically and mentally challenged every visit.
I am an amateur MMA competitor and have been to many gyms and Rukkus Training Center has helped me in many aspects of my game. Not only have I been able to improve my skills, but I enjoy doing it. It’s hard to find a gym where everyone is so welcoming and willing to work with people of all levels from beginner to advanced.
Whatever your objective is, Rukkus Training will help you achieve it. I absolutely recommend swinging by and meeting the family.

I’ve been a part of the Rukkus Family since 2009 and it has become a staple in my life: physically, mentally, and spiritually. Everyday brings something new and exciting to look forward to and Marcus motivates you to be better than the person you were when you last came in.
Moreover, Marcus has created an environment that transcends the barriers of a gym; the tranquility of its yoga classes, the rigorous circuit style workouts and arduous combat classes. Rukkus is a community where I know the people I workout with on a personal level and engage in activities with them outside the fitness center. Marcus also does a fantastic job partnering with and supporting local small business owners and entrepreneurs.
I highly recommend Rukkus Fitness to anyone looking for phenomenal workouts, a sense of community and an all around great time…

This gym is awesome! I have been going to this gym for about a year and a half and its the best thing that has happened to me. I’m a big dude and didn’t see my self flying around wrestling and fighting with people that were in WAY better shape then me.
That was my first thought I’m not going to make it through the first 5 mins. After putting that aside i finally manned up and said lets do this.

So lets get to the first day, I’ve always been very athletically inclined so that didn’t scare me but the stamina part Is what I was worried about. So I finally make it and give it a try. I’m thinking I’m going to be there with a bunch of fighters and people that are going to laugh at me «my insecurity’s». To my surprise I’m working out with anyone from a fit fighter training for a fight, to an middle age man and a few younger gentlemen. To my surprise everyone was very helpful and helping me to make sure that i was doing the workouts correctly. Marcus the owner/​instructor was also very helpful in motivating and keeping you trying your hardest but also making sure your not over doing yourself.

To sum it up I’ve been going ever since and Marcus helped me lose 50 pounds and counting. I’m in the best shape since high school and always strive foe a «BETTER BEST»!!!
My best advise I can give is go to the website check out the videos and see How many different kinds of work outs you can do. Everything from yoga to Combat Training. This place is really a blast to work out at and can’t wait to see you there!!!

Of all the gyms, workout programs, and teams I’ve been apart of, Rukkus Training is where I feel most at home. Working out here over the last two months has definitely made a positive impact on my fitness and has me hooked.
I’ve always been a team sport athlete, and I appreciate a challenge both mentally and physically. Rukkus Training does just that. The kickboxing circuits keep my mind focused and body worked while the fitness cross-​training strengthens total body and pushes me to strive for more.
Rukkus Training has a tight group dynamic to it that you won’t find at any other gym and is welcoming to anyone at any level. Think it’s too good to be true? Come in and just give it a try. You’ll realize all these positive reviews are here for a reason.

I highly recommend Rukkus Training! The facility is nice and CLEAN! I’ve been to many gyms, UFC and LA Boxing gyms, and Crossfit boxes and this place combines all these workouts in one CLEAN location. Plus, Marcus (the owner/​instructor) gives just as much attention as you would get from a personalized trainer for A LOT less! He’s motivating and leads by example cuz he’s out there working out with you too! This place is great for anyone, at any skill level. Did I also mention that there is yoga and a chiropractor! But what I would say is best about Rukkus Training is that there is NO EGO! You best leave your ego at the door, lol!
Overall, great place to train with a top of the line instructor/​teacher/​mentor/​coach!
