From the reviews
I am a Kickboxer/Muay Thai Fighter at Central Valley MMA & Boxing and I came in at 17 years old 240 pounds. Past forward 2 1/2 years later I am 20 years old 180 pounds and have an amateur record of 6-0.
This is a very welcoming place, and the coaches are phenomenal. They have a variety of classes throughout the day, and you can try them all out until you find a style that you enjoy!
I cannot recommend this boxing gym enough! Ryan and Malina are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, pushing me beyond my limits to help me achieve my fitness goals. Since joining, I have lost a significant amount of weight and feel stronger and more confident than ever before.
I currently go to CVMMA and have nothing but positivity to say about them. If your looking to train for weight loss, cardio, or learn to defend yourself no matter what your wanting mma or boxing for they can offer it.
New to kickboxing? Start at Central Valley MMA & Boxing
Central Valley MMA & Boxing 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 Central Valley MMA & Boxing
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.
