From the reviews
I met Max when I was looking for a workout routine to get me in shape for my wedding. I had never boxed in my life and he was super patient with me, teaching me technique and combinations all while getting in a great cardio and core work out. I loved his classes and the results I got.
You have to try this gym. It's perfect, brand new location, very clean. I am so happy to have found it. I have never been very good at working out on my own, or forming a regular routine; I've tried working with a few trainers at Lifetime, and ended up cancelling that this January to train at counter punch; his…
I drive over an hour to train with Max (Counter Punch) at least two times per week. I wrestled in college and decided to do personal lessons with Max so I could develop my striking skills.
Being Max’s sister, I don’t want you to think I’m biased. But being a part of his life and watching his athletic journey has been incredible, he excels at everything when it comes to sports and shines his brightest when he helps others whether it’s their first steps, or it’s with a seasoned professional.
New to kickboxing? Start at Counter Punch Boxing and Fitness - Ann Arbor
Counter Punch Boxing and Fitness - Ann Arbor 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 Counter Punch Boxing and Fitness - Ann Arbor
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.
