From the reviews
From the time I walked in to just get information, I knew I was in the right place. The people are very friendly and not pushy. There is a sense of community there that I didnt think I would find at a boxing gym. Everyone says hello and good bye. While training, they give one on one time every time I go.
Greatest gym in the world. I’ve never felt a better atmosphere in a gym. Greg Ardon is not only a legendary/ great trainer but an amazing mentor and coach.
If you are lucky enough to have discovered this gym located in Sunset Park, then you are in for a great experience. There is a friendly and nurturing culture here which has been a tremendous help to me. Trainers and boxers alike are kind, helpful, and respectful.
This is an incredible gym for anyone. The staff and the students are warm and inviting. There are structured classes for boxing, must thai, Brazilian jujitsu and conditioning. The gym is a great place for beginners, as well as advanced athletes. There are plenty of well rounded talented athletes and fighters here.
New to kickboxing? Start at Ardon Sweet Science Gym
Ardon Sweet Science Gym 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 Ardon Sweet Science Gym
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.
