From the reviews

I hate every minute of the exercise. HATE! But I’m there 3 days a week. I’m going to dislike any kind of exercise so I might as well torture myself with the one that burns a ridiculous amount of calories per hour. Instructors are encouraging, knowledgeable, and love to see you sweat.

Empowering Boxing is life changing. I have been going for almost three years. The instructors are amazing. I get a different workout evertime I attend. I not only have physical changed but my confidence has changed. After class I feel I can do anything. If haven't tried kickboxing before you need to your missing out!!

Your first kickboxing class at Empower Boxing Alexandria

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.
