From the reviews
I’ve been going here for a year. I’ve improved my stretching, balancing, hand / eye coordination, core strength and most importantly, my confidence and physique in boxing. I also take private lifting / boxing sessions to improve my footwork, speed, and power. Incredible community.
I’ve been a part of many gyms and been to many work out classes but this one takes the cake. Alejandro has done an incredible job of creating a fun safe environment to learn and grow as well as a place to push yourself without being afraid to fail.
Highly recommend! In a sea full of outrageous prices, this one stands out. Incredible rates and intense & doable workouts (for all levels of fitness). If you want to lose weight, get fit or actual learn to fight (boxing and/or kickboxing) this is the gym for you!! Alejandro always brings it, every class.
Alejandro is the best trainer I’ve ever had. I’d never done kickboxing before. I can now say I’m sold for life. I don’t think I’ve ever done the same routine twice. His workouts are ever changing and completely addictive. I literally leave there dripping sweat every time.
New to kickboxing? Start at Black Twenty One
Black Twenty One 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 Black Twenty One
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.
