From the reviews
This husband and wife team and their facility are exactly what I was looking for. Coach Anthony has worked hard with my family to train my son in boxing, but more importantly he makes him feel strong, and proud, and CONFIDENT. Our family looks forward to the years to come. We highly recommend Combat Fitness.
Amazing! I've gone to the boxing morning class. Great 1-1 attention, get the heart rate up with those burpees/ladder/jump rope and learn new skills with mitts and partner work. Have any interest (or already hooked) on boxing - this is the perfect spot for anyone of any skill level.
Been a member for over 4 years. Anthony and Lee have created a warm and open community based atmosphere. Highly recommend for training in Boxing and various styles of Martial arts.
CombatFitness isn’t just a gym; it’s my family! Finding a community, becoming your best self, and having a great time—that's what CombatFitness, a true pillar of Vermont, means to me. I trained in boxing, BJJ, kickboxing, and MMA for a year while balancing college.
New to kickboxing? Start at Combat Fitness MMA
Combat Fitness MMA 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 Combat Fitness MMA
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.
