The classes they run

What members say
“Coach Melso is great, he teaches proper technique and really tries to bring the boxer out of anyone, it’s intense but he keeps it fun, very much recommend Fight Vibes!”
“I love their open door policy and how they make all walks of life feel loved, welcomed and created a non-intimidating environment for one to learn and grow.”
“Looking to be better and to get a great workout this is your guy!”
“When he leaves the gym, he's drenched in sweat & he's not a kid who sweats easy so he's also getting one of the best workouts outside of his regular gym routine.”
“I absolutely love the women’s boxing class with Coach Melso!”
“What really stands out is his patience and attention to detail, he takes the time to correct your form and builds your confidence with every session.”
From the reviews
I can’t recommend this gym and Coach Melvin enough. He is very knowledgeable in what he teaches, creative as can be with the work-outs and training, and is fully capable of training any one of any skill level.
Coach Melvin was excellent in breaking down instruction and keeping things simple for beginners to follow. He is really knowledgeable and can help you out on the areas you need. Great gym and working with Melvin has been helpful.
Coach Melso is able to coach the most serious fighter attain wins on their record to the average Joe looking to lose weight or just have a controlled space to left off some steam. He knows how to cater to every fighter/client's needs or wants and create a game plan so that their individual goals are met.
I have been training martial arts since I was a child, and while stand-up has always been something I dabbled in over the years, it was never an area where I received consistent training or something that truly kept my interest long term. That changed when I started training at Fight Vibes with Coach Mel.
New to kickboxing? Start at Fight Vibes Academy
Fight Vibes Academy 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 Fight Vibes Academy
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. 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.
