From the reviews

Lisa was my personal trainer and she was lovely! The facility offered a wide range of exercise options, and I would highly recommend giving it a try!

★★★★★ — Daniel, Oct 2025

Lisa and her team is nothing short of AMAZING! The Sports Training program has everything my daughter needs. And I have seen great improvement already. She wants to play softball for her school and until this past season she seemed to be just not able to make it.

★★★★★ — Marsha, Oct 2025

I can’t say enough great things about Geaux Play Sports Training & Fitness and my trainer, Lisa! She makes personal training so easy — all I have to do is show up. Every workout is different and tailored to my needs, and she’s great at making modifications when needed.

★★★★★ — Lindsey, Oct 2025

I’ve been going to Geaux Play for over 10 years. Not only have I made great friends there, they have turned into family. Lisa and her trainers are great! Lisa is fantastic with tailoring a workout for you no matter what the issue is.

New to kickboxing? Start at Geaux Play Sports Training & Fitness

Geaux Play Sports Training & Fitness 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 Geaux Play Sports Training & 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.

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.
