From the reviews
Atlas Wellness and MMA is hands down one of the best gyms I’ve been to. The coaching is top-tier, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the level of instruction is second to none.
Coach Chuck is all about making that athlete better. Even though our daughter competes under a different organization she is still treated like everyone else. They are all about improving, not about who gets credit for the improvement.
I have exhausted all the other gyms in my area before trying and deciding on Atlas. The gym is new, clean and welcoming. I love the availability and variety of the classes. The students are really nice and will help you get better. Coach Chuck is funny and crazy knowledgeable.
Looked at few places for youth MMA/boxing classes. This place is a diamond. My son loves it, even does extra chores to be able to added class all 3 days of week. Instructors are amazing at what they do. Price was also fantastic too with no added hidden fees. This place is a hidden gem for youth classes!
New to kickboxing? Start at Atlas Wellness & MMA
Atlas Wellness & MMA 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 Atlas Wellness & MMA
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.
