From the reviews

Awesome. Family-Oriented. Just all around cool people. I started going here to help my mom. The staff is really down to earth, passionate, and family oriented. They look out for their own which really touched my heart.

★★★★★ — J, Jan 2020

I'm super glad I found this gym. I not only get my good work out, but also great energy and good vibes. The coaches are mood lifting and they have good music. I'm on a mission to reach my health and body goals and I can genuinely say that this gym will get me there.

★★★★★ — Janette, Mar 2019

I've been to several boxing gyms in San Diego. This so far has been my favorite. It's fairly affordable compared to others and has wonderful trainers/coaches and members. There is a great family feel to it and I always enjoy going to class.

★★★★★ — Alyssa, Nov 2017

I've been training at this gym for a few months now, and I've had a great experience so far. I initially joined to get in shape and relieve some stress, and I will say it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my physical and mental health.

New to kickboxing? Start at Body By Discipline

Body By Discipline 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 Body By Discipline

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.
