From the reviews
I've been working out here for about 6 months and it's great. I love the friendly staff and the community that trains there. If you're looking for a place with a ton of fancy amenities and shiny, new equipment to take gym selfies with -- this isn't for you.
I decided to join AFC at the beginning of February 2017. The two main reasons I joined were convenience and what the facility has to offer. AFC offers a variety of classes at very reasonable prices and the staff is always encouraging and willing to help.
My husband Paul and I cannot say enough about AFC - especially the the owner Jason!!! It is a great environment. It is second to none when it comes to personal training and getting results. On days when you might not want to be at the gym, Jason can immediately boost your energy and make you feel motivated!
I've been going to AFC for nine months now and love it. My favorite thing about this gym is the atmosphere. Besides being clean and well-maintained, it really feels like a community gym. It's unpretentious.
New to kickboxing? Start at American Fitness Center-Nashua
American Fitness Center-Nashua comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at American Fitness Center-Nashua
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.
