From the reviews
I cannot speak highly enough about how incredible this school is. All of the instructors are extremely skillful, masters of their craft and very meticulous in caring for each and every student of any level ... They are also very welcoming and kind!
The instructors are the BEST! I joined as a beginner and the instructors were not only patient and focused on helping me but also totally down to earth. The owners of the school are awesome and I’ve made some great friendships with the other students.
This gym has become like a second home for me. The classes are great and I’m learning so much, but there’s also a great sense of community here. I’m the type of person that always feels inadequate when I try new things but I’m always so encouraged by the instructors and my peers.
What a fantastic place, staff and members! I was a bit timid and procrastinated to join earlier. I started as a rookie, very basic. Once I walked in Katie made it very comfortable, then the instructors, and the members made it very easy and amicable for me on the mat. I quickly felt I belong here.
New to kickboxing? Start at Elite Training Center
Elite Training Center 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 Elite Training Center
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.
