8 Yr Vet heard? What a foolish thing to do, put your voice out there on someone’s word. 8 Year vet needs to go to The Compound and seek the truth. I can bet 8 yr Vet is just another person out there who works for or owns another MMA Gym and is trying to turn people off. It’s not working 8 yr vet, The Compound is running strong! Know this the more you bash, the bigger the gym gets. People seek the truth and go to The Compound and find it. Also, they support all other gyms in the area. They tell people to go and try other gyms first. They also will not allow anyone to just join. They want to make sure the person wants to train there. So they have to try a few classes for FREE and feel good with the gym before they can sign up. Anyone who reads this, swing by the gym and see for yourself. If you choose to listen to someone who “hears” things, your choice. You’ll be missing out on training at a nice, friendly, clean and ego free gym.

So I have been to quite a few gyms now and it’s funny how all these reviews seem like gym owners. Either trying to build their gym up or bring another gym down. Here’s my take on this gym and i’ve reviewed a few all over the country and im from the east coast so im unbiased: The MMA and Grappling program run by Sean Loeffler and the Strength and Conditioning program run by Andy are by far the strong points of this gym. The gym seems clean and they have alot of well trained fighters out of there. Not alot of down sides, but i do wish that the kickboxing class was bigger and I didn’t get a chance to meet the wrestling or boxing coach. For the most part solid gym. By the way Sean walked me through class and didnt even offer to sign me up he just gave me a free t-shirt and sticker. So I dont think he cares about money. Wasn’t a fan of the cement walls it got really cold, but what can you do, where a sweatshirt in winter. There’s my honest gym review! Worth checking out this gym!

The gym is ok but don’t sign a contract! The owners aren’t MMA enthusiasts or experts their just in it for the money and will screw you over if they get the chance. I have trained at 7 gyms here in San Diego County and I’m going to recommend staying away from The Compound MMA.

Current police officer was looking to join an MMA gym in Oceanside with my wife and 7 year old daughter. The gym itself was good, could have been cleaner, classes were also okay but I wanted to know about the owner since my wife and daughter would be spending a lot of time there, after doing a simple criminal record check (which is free to the public) I found that Mr. Loeffler had an extensive criminal record which included many domestic violence orders against different females and some facts involving a minor.I would not leave my two important females with this guy.
