From the reviews
Weight lifting, crossfit, mma, and cardio gym. Smaller gym but the best on ft drum. 24 hour accessible. Extremely clean with any and every equipment you could imagine. When gym is staffed access to extra gym equipment is available.
My first functional fitness facility experience. I was worried that it would be a CrossFit box, very glad that it isn’t. The functional fitness approach is something I wish I had adopted earlier I’m sure I would have significantly less repetitive stress related issues now.
The staff at Atkins Gym are consistently friendly, approachable, and willing to assist with any questions or equipment needs. The facility is well-equipped with a variety of machines suitable for different workout routines and fitness levels.
Heavy bags, turf field, rope climbs, Olympic lifting platform, sprint treadmills, kettlebells, sleds, sandbags, medicine balls, this facility has everything you need to become a functional weapon. Pricing is extremely reasonable for active duty, highest value gym I’ve ever gone to.
New to kickboxing? Start at Atkins Functional Fitness Facility
Atkins Functional Fitness Facility 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 Atkins Functional Fitness Facility
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.
