★★★★★ — Mistie, Jan 2025

Me, my husband and our 13 year old daughter went to the Bungee class today with Kerry and it was amazing! So fun and she made us feel so comfortable. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and always love finding low impact ways to work out.

★★★★★ — Adrienne, May 2022

I was looking for a gym for my brother who has developmental disabilities. I really wanted to help him get healthier but I didn't know where to start. I reached out to Free Man Fitness and Jen responded right away.

★★★★★ — Michael, Jan 2025

I've only been a member for a couple of weeks, but the reason I considered joining now was the vibe that I got a couple years ago when I competed in a Strongwoman competition at Freeman. It was surprising how supportive and friendly everyone was at the event.

New to kickboxing? Start at Free Man Fitness & Nutrition

Free Man Fitness & Nutrition 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 Free Man Fitness & Nutrition

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.
