Solid gym, small but holds its own. Good coaching. Ben's never one to not give valuable feedback and good warm ups. Good vibes overall

Tried all the other CrossFit places around and this is my favorite. Great workouts for all abilities and class sizes are perfect. You don't feel like sardines like a lot of the other places. Coaches and owners are super involved and you can tell walking around there is a pride of ownership in how the place is kept.

Great fitness community with caring coaching whether your looking to be challenged by group fitness classes or one on one personal training! Nick is the BEST trainer in Orange County for the busy executive looking to get and stay fit with a dedicated personal trainer!

Neighborhood CrossFit gym that focuses on strength and conditioning. Smaller class sizes = more personal attention to focus on form. The coaches are really knowledgeable and helpful- some even have personal training options. Gym is kept clean and equipment is well maintained. Everyone is really friendly and there are lots of opportunities to socialize. They also have another location near the airport that you can drop into.

My favorite gym!! Shamba is an amazing, supportive, and uplifting community, that pushes and encourages everyone to train harder and lift heavier. Classes offer the perfect balance of cardio and weightlifting, with all experience levels welcome. Shamba feels more like a family that holds each other accountable and motivates everyone to get stronger !

Family owned and managed by Jacob and Renee Shaw. Very friendly and welcoming environment. Jacob goes out of his way to train you individually and dedicates his blood, sweat, and tears into giving you the results you want. Classes are intense and definitely give you the feeling of a worthy workout afterwards. Gym is constantly cleaned and wiped down after every class, and you are more than welcome to stay for an additional class or if you would like to use the equipment. Members are very welcoming and encouraging and motivating. Jacob is a great guy, and despite not having the opportunity to visit. I'll always remember our early morning work outs. This man shaped and prepared me for Marine Bootcamp, without Jacobs help and mentoring, I wouldn't have been as prepared as I was.Thank you for all the good memories! -Hector

This gym has been open even when the government mandated them to close. They've been open illegally. They have no PPE and no safety protocol. Just running as usual. I just reported them today and I was told that they would take action within one week. All of their reviews are from members or people who's membership fee they sponsor or comp. Really average gym. No one on one attention. Greedy owners, and out dated equipment. This place should be shut down and it appears they will in the near future.

The attention to detail of each individual is amazing!!! It’s like you have a personal trainer. The warmth and mutual respect towards everybody no matter what your level is unparalleled. A truly good vibe...and the workouts are easy !

Best decision you will ever make is coming to Shamba and joining the family! Jake and Renee (and Nick and Yaremy as well! ) are amazing people and welcome everyone with open arms. There is no intimidation here as they work with everyone depending on their fitness level. It's such a great community and you will quickly become apart of it and see the results quickly! I've been coming to Shamba for 2 years and it's changed my life in such a great way. Thanks for opening my eyes to a healthier life!!!

I'm a pro jiu-Jitsu fighter. Been training for over 15 years. Got to meet Shamba family last year and I'm grateful for that. Nice and friendly environment cool people from all ages! I do the online program but every time I go there to get a close following by coach Everyone makes me feel like I'm there everyday. On quarantine our group meetings at zoom are my favorite part of the day and I feel a big improvement on my conditioning even doing the workout home. Totally recommend this place either you're a pro athlete or just want get motivated and in good health.

Great small close knit gym, ability to get personalized trainers and even in the classes. Not big class where you get drowned by the crowd and don't get more focused work. They make sure everyone is doing the right posture and work. If I can work out then anyone can get started. Im doing boxing class there.
