From the reviews
Walked in on a whim with no prior experience and found myself immediately hooked (quite literally and figuratively). The environment is incredibly friendly and inclusive with all sorts of skill levels training at the gym; from competition fighters readying for their next bout, to more casual individuals looking for…
I found Apex years ago and I was welcomed with open arms. Very friendly and inviting to all. The coaching staff is excellent and very knowledgeable. Whether you want to be a fighter or casually train all are welcome and if you do have fighting aspirations you won’t find a better group of people anywhere around.
I trained with these guys years ago and had an amazing experience. So, when my 13 year old son recently expressed an interest in boxing, I knew APEX was the place to go. He’s been enrolled for a few months now and it’s been nothing but positive experiences for him.
Great gym and staff, usually one of the only southpaws being taught during boxing classes and they always go out of their way to help explain concepts to me to make sure I understand. Class size varies but whoever is teaching that day always manages to make everyone feel comfortable and included.
New to kickboxing? Start at APEX Combat Sports
APEX Combat Sports comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 APEX Combat Sports
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.
