From the reviews
FXB is a one of a kind gym! All classes are instructor led so you don’t have to spend half of your time there trying to figure out what to do like at other gyms! Kickboxing is offered 3 days and strength training the other 3 days, as well as guidance with nutrition.

After years of trying different workout programs, I’ve finally found something that I’ve wanted to commit to! Love the variety of workouts, instructors are always encouraging and the community is top notch. Hitting the bag is such a stress reliever and I leave the strength training feeling so strong!

New to kickboxing? Start at Farrell’s eXtreme Bodyshaping - Dubuque
Farrell’s eXtreme Bodyshaping - Dubuque 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 Farrell’s eXtreme Bodyshaping - Dubuque
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.
