From the reviews
My workout in Donis’ class was amazing. I’m more sore same day than I was from a cardio kickboxing class at another gym the day before. The circuit method they’ve established is super effective. It’s also a great vibe and Morgan at the desk is very welcoming and instantly makes you feel comfortable.
The team of trainers is great, especially Undray. I love the cadence and tempo if the early morning classes, personally, but I can't always wake up and I'll get in afternoons as well.
Here’s a reviewThis small boxing club offers an intimate space that’s just right for its purpose. While parking can be a bit tricky, there are options available nearby with a little patience. The workout is structured into four stations, and participants rotate through them as a group, providing variety and balance.
This year I wanted to try something new and to become stronger so I looked into boxing. I had no prior experience and wanted to find someplace that is woman friendly. This place so great for anyone looking to expand their horizons and try a hard and fun workout.
New to kickboxing? Start at BoxFit
BoxFit 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 BoxFit
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.
