★★★★★ — Mcpringle_1109, May 2025

OMG! When I tell you this place is a win, believe me. I hardly leave reviews, but I had to do this one because it's so amazing! I have struggled with my weight my entire life, and I've always had a hard time sticking to an exercise routine. Not here. It's fun, challenging, and switches every day.

★★★★★ — Stacy, Sep 2025

Been at this gym for about a year now and absolutely love it. What started off as just something to get in shape has turned into a full time passion project learning all of the different martial arts.

★★★★★ — Mitch, Mar 2026

Super sick gym never been inside anything like it. They got over 12 coaches that are super experiencing who teaches some next level techniques. I think the coolest part about the gym is that it’s 24 hours so you can come and train whenever you want to not like other gyms at all!

New to kickboxing? Start at Compound MMA & Fitness

Compound MMA & Fitness 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 Compound 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.
