From the reviews
I recently joined and I couldn't be more impressed. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and motivating. The trainers are knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely invested in helping you reach your fitness goals, whether you're a beginner or an experienced boxer.
I’ve been coming here for almost a year now. The boxing classes are high impact workout that will give you the sweats you need. I definitely love the welcoming environment. I feel so comfortable coming here. No one is judging you if you don’t know what you’re doing Because at the end of the day we’re all sweating.
I joined Chano boxing a few months ago and have made significant progress in my boxing ability. They have quality coaching staff providing encouragement and techniques to improve boxing skill, cardio endurance, and overall strength.
Cool boxing gym especially for people who are beginners trying to learn. The coaches are very personable and do a good job at giving members some one on one time during classes
New to kickboxing? Start at Chano Boxing
Chano Boxing 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 Chano 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.
