From the reviews

I've now done kickboxing at three different gyms and this one is the best I've been to. I have stayed at Classic Kickboxing because their instructors are SO kind and help adjust the class to help out newcomers.

★★★★★ — Samantha, Jul 2018

I've only taken 4 classes at Classic Kickboxing so far, but they've all been great! Mauricio and Phoebe are both wonderful instructors. They manage to guide everyone through a workout that's both challenging and appropriate for all skill levels, while still letting you know it's okay to listen to your body and do…

★★★★★ — Kirtan, Aug 2022

Classic Kickboxing has been the ideal gym to get a good workout and learn a new skill. The staff are consistently friendly and helpful, students are supportive of one another, and the gym is always clean. I love walking into class and immediately feeling the positive atmosphere.

★★★★★ — Savannah, Feb 2024

Wow I had so much fun at my first class! Indoor kickboxing is packed with variety and fun combos. Mauricio is a very welcoming and humble soul. I felt comfortable and free to take a breather when needed. I will definitely be returning, what a fun way to workout in 50 mins!

New to kickboxing? Start at Classic Kickboxing

Classic Kickboxing 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 Classic Kickboxing

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.
