When it comes to fitness Alphas is the place to be. The classes are beginner friendly and the staff along with the experienced members are all helpful. Don't sleep on this gym you'll regret passing on the opportunity.

★★★★★ — Henrite, Jan 2025

I've been looking into a new gym to join for several months. I didn't want to join another gym that my payments arrived more than I did, lol. I finally decided to join Alphas in Edwardsville, which also has a location in Highland, Illinois.

★★★★★ — Deb, Jan 2025

I’ve been going to Alphas for roughly 4 months now and it has been life-changing! I’ve had a great experience in all of the classes, and have always felt super supported and motivated by the coaches and other members!!

Your first kickboxing class at AlphAs

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
