From the reviews
I hardly ever leave google reviews but I had to because this place is GREAT. I’m so happy that I found hardcore kickboxing, it’s not only a great physical workout but very beneficial for your mental health as well. The instructor Shaun is very passionate about what he does. The gym is very clean and spacious.
I can not say enough about Hardcore Kickboxing. It has been a game changer for me, awesome place to work out! Shaun is professional, knowledgeable and welcoming. The facility is clean and comfortable. The workout is challenging and always changing! When I first started I could barely make it through 30 minutes.
This class is an absolute blast and an incredible workout! Shaun is a fantastic instructor who truly knows how to keep you motivated and engaged. I've been telling all my friends to try it out because it’s not just fun—it’s also transformed my fitness level and boosted my endurance.
Shaun is an owner that genuinely cares about his gym, and his patrons. The classes are 10/10 (I burned close to 900 calories per class), but for those who need it there are always modifications you can make to your fitness level.
New to kickboxing? Start at Hardcore Kickboxing
Hardcore Kickboxing 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 Hardcore Kickboxing
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.
