From the reviews

Coach Joe and his Staff have made my athlete stronger, faster and more agile. The training is intense but fun making it a great balance. The best part of elite is you can train and get your supplements with a personalized plan all under one roof.

★★★★★ — Dean, Feb 2020

Coach Joe is great. Very positive and patience with my boys and pushes them to be their best. If you're looking to get your game to the next level, he's the guy. My kids leave exhausted and can't wait to go back. I'm thrilled we found this place. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Jason, Nov 2018

★★★★★ — Walter, Dec 2018

Why Elite Gamespeed? At 8 years old our son Jake has been the fastest kid in his grade at his school from day 1! On day 1 at Elite Gamespeed however he was almost the slowest! That’s when I knew we were at the right place!

New to kickboxing? Start at Elite Gamespeed NEPA

Elite Gamespeed NEPA comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Elite Gamespeed NEPA

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.
