From the reviews
Fire and Water Fitness is absolutely incredible! The friendliest, most knowledgeable, and genuinely caring staff you’ll ever meet. They pay attention to every detail, encourage you every step of the way, and make you feel like part of a community from day one.
I've been in the Fire & Water Fitness community for 7 years. Brandon leads us in engaging, effective, entertaining and extremely fun workouts. Brandon has a gift in meeting you where you are with a unique blend of motivation and compassion. I hate going to the gym AND I love working out here.
I started taking classes about 10 months ago - they helped me learn pretty quickly with fun and interesting workouts. The coaches are motivating and never take it personally when I give them the side eye! They take a lot of pride in their studio and make it warm and welcoming for everyone.
I am new to KickHouse and as much as I was nervous to have to work out in front of other people, these team has made me feel so comfortable! I love coming to workout and knowing I am getting an amazing workout! I always leave feeling amazing and excited to come back. The staff are the kindest people I have met.
New to kickboxing? Start at Fire & Water Fitness
Fire & Water Fitness 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 Fire & Water Fitness
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.
