★★★★★ — Sm, Jul 2022

Best Gym in the area, period! I have trained at other gyms before, and I have been at Fit & Fight for almost a year now and trained with them in Muay Thai, MMA and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

★★★★★ — Benosman, May 2024

My son has been attending muay thai classes for about six months now and it never ceases to amaze me how well these trainings affect him. He is only 4.5 years old and he has already learned to stand up for himself. And the coach himself always causes a storm of emotions during training and after.

★★★★★ — Jamie, Mar 2022

I've been training at Fit And Fight for a while now, and it's truly an outstanding gym. The coaches are knowledgeable and dedicated, providing personalized attention to help you reach your goals. The facilities are top-notch, with all the equipment you need for MMA, kickboxing, and wrestling.

New to kickboxing? Start at FIT & FIGHT GYM

FIT & FIGHT GYM 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 FIT & FIGHT GYM

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.
