Resurrection Training Club was founded by Jesus H. Espinal and Gabriel Pacheco-Dolce, who are former owners of BAMMA and The GF Club. The leadership team includes founder Jesus H. Espinal and founder and head coach Gabriel Pacheco-Dolce. The academy states that its mission is to foster a community of discipline, respect, and empowerment, with training that focuses on physical strength, mental resilience, and confidence, and to support students in working toward their personal best in life and in sport.

The program offers women-only kickboxing classes, a kids MMA program for ages 5–12, and family discounts for more than one person on a single billing account. Resurrection Training Club describes itself as Sonoma County’s premier mixed martial arts academy and a top destination for MMA enthusiasts in the North Bay, with a supportive, family-like community. Loaner equipment is available to cover all needed gear, and participants must bring a fitted mouthpiece to take part in all drills. A year contract option is available with one monthly fee paid by card or bank, and cash is accepted only if at least three months are paid in advance with no discount.

In testimonials, parents and students describe experienced and supportive coaches, a welcoming environment for all levels, and programs for kids, adults, and women-only classes. One parent, Marc Bencivenga, states that their child loves the MMA class and has attended for five months. Another parent, Robert Dombrowski IV, reports that his son has trained with Gabriel Pacheco-Dolce since age 12 and calls Resurrection Training Club “the best MMA training facility in Northern California.” Multiple reviewers, including Berenice Rivas, Ryan Vaneck, Vanessa Trejo, Diego Vasquez, Jacob Miller, dominic carretero, and Aliciana Munoz, describe positive experiences with the gym, coaches, and training partners.
