From the reviews
I love this place! I take the fitness classes, specifically Kickboxing with Michelle. She is amazing and very motivating. Also, rowing class with J. is awesome. The equipment is high-quality and there’s plenty of sanitizer and cleaning supplies to keep everything sanitized.
I recently visited Scottsdale and was looking for a gym to continue my work outs, particularly running. (Which wasn’t going to happen in 100+ degree heat for this Midwestern lady!). I was super impressed with the staff and facility in general. A daily guest pass was very reasonably priced.
Haven been taking kickboxing and rowing there for a while. People are super nice; there's a woman coach there, about 40 or so, blonde hair and tanned. She is THE COOLEST coach from my experience ever. Then again, none of the others are bad from what I've seen.
Very cheap no frills gym, just the way it should be. They recently upgraded all the weight plates so they're no longer rusty ancient iron disks, but now they have handles so that's a plus. Everyone is friendly. Most nights have some pretty competitive basketball games going on.
New to kickboxing? Start at Club SAR
Club SAR 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 Club SAR
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.
