From the reviews

A coworker suggested the Women’s Kickboxing class over a year ago and I did not attend. Honestly I felt a little intimidated. But earlier this year I decided to get my butt in gear and tried out the class. I could kick myself (can actually do that now) because I wish I had gone a year ago.

★★★★★ — Stephanie, Jan 2018

Champions Freestyle MMA and Fitness is the best women's kickboxing class in Birmingham. Jon and Bryant are awesome instructors, they make this class a wonderful experience, not intimidating at all. Please give it a try, you will love it!

★★★★★ — Anna, Mar 2017

I've been training for over a year and this by far the best kick boxing class. Such a friendly environment but the trainers know how to push you to the best. Best workout I've ever had!!

★★★★★ — Mireille, Jun 2017

I have been kickboxing for about a month. I look forward to going to Champions Freesyle for the womens kickboxing class. Bryant is the instructor at the time that I workout. He is an awesome instructor. He is patient and takes time out when you need help. He changes up the drills daily.

Your first kickboxing class at Champions Freestyle MMA & 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.

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.
