From the reviews
Excellent gym with top notch instruction from a former pro fighter and long time coach adept at teaching fighting technique, coaching competitive combat sports athletes and helping anyone else who is simply just interested in improving their physical fitness, health and or the ability to better defend themselves.
Great gym, with great coaches! Nice space to get a workout in with lots of great people who are all there to learn and better themselves! If you are looking for a place to learn, get into shape, and have a workout family this is it!
Joined a few months ago. Great environment for both beginners and high-level fighters. Couldn’t imagine going elsewhere to train. Great price for an even better coach!
The owner Zack was very helpful and patient giving me details over the phone for the kid boxing class. Instructor Ben was super friendly and fun. My friend's daughter is kinda of shy and she feels comfortable here. I think this is a great gym and an excellent program for kids and adults. This place is the real deal!
New to kickboxing? Start at BodyShot Combat & Fitness
BodyShot Combat & Fitness comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 BodyShot Combat & 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.
