From the reviews

I love working out with Mindy and BK Roots! I have been doing personal training and Saturday class for 6 months and I look forward to this time every week. I have not only been working towards my weight loss goals but also feel stronger and more knowledgeable about what my body needs.

★★★★★ — Emily, Sep 2023

I love love love training with Mindy at BK Roots. She's not only an amazing trainer that's helped me feel so much stronger physically, but she's also an expert on nutrition and has helped me understand how to not just count calories but actually consume nutrient rich foods at the right times of the day in order to…

★★★★★ — Alison, May 2019

I’ve been taking classes with Ash and Mindy for a few years. BK Roots is a small studio with about 8 spots per class. I have been coming to classes for a few year and see Ash for personal training. I have significantly increased my strength and endurance.

★★★★★ — Julia, Jan 2026

Thank goodness for BK Roots! I discovered this studio during the pandemic. I was so thankful to find Mindy teaching classes online when everything shut down. Mindy is a great trainer-- she pushes and challenges us in the very best way.

Your first kickboxing class at BK ROOTS Fitness

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
