From the reviews
Amazing class and instructor!! I recently started going to Hip Fit Fitness a few months ago and love it! The workouts are challenging and always a little different, and Deena is an awesome instructor who is very kind and motivating.
I love this kickboxing class!!! I’ve gone to different studios and kickboxing/boxing gyms around NYC over the years and this one is my favorite. Deena is a talented instructor, great at working with all levels, and fosters an inclusive environment.
I just recently moved to the area. I personally have seen and tried a lot of the gyms around me. I went into this gym and I know I have found my true gym home !!!
Hip Fit Fitness has been a great introduction to kickboxing for someone who has never done kickboxing before. Deena is knowledgeable and a great teacher who meets students where they are at and encourages them to keep trying and learning.
New to kickboxing? Start at Hip Fit Fitness Upper Westside
Hip Fit Fitness Upper Westside 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 Hip Fit Fitness Upper Westside
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.
