From the reviews
Great small gym on the west side! If you are interested in Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing, MMA, wrestling, or Yoga, they offer it. I personally take their Yoga class on Sunday afternoons. Manny and Carey are awesome! You won’t be disappointed!
Awesome family owned and managed gym. They do everything from BJJ, Club Wrestling, and kick boxing. They are very friendly and have excellent classes for men, women, and kids.
I started training here six months ago after my friend suggested I check out Animal House, and I can’t say enough good things about it! When I first walked through the door I was honestly nervous since I haven’t ever done combat sports before joining.
We have an 8-year-old that's been wrestling for the past 3 years at various different wrestling clubs.. We had heard about Animal House and how good it was and then finally decided to come over and join.. In less than 6 months we have already seen an incredible improvement in our son's wrestling..
New to kickboxing? Start at Animal House FC
Animal House FC 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 Animal House FC
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.
