From the reviews
Great clean gym with a lot of classes to offer members of all ages. Members of the USA boxing academy & is a certified boxing school. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Full access membership includes all classes and kids are welcome.
Joining HCA has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with great vibes, an incredible atmosphere, and a team of staff that goes above and beyond.
I’ve been to other gyms, but none of them has made me feel as comfortable until I started Houston colosseum. Actually they boomdanzeled me! I came here for kickboxing and not ONCE have I kicked a bag 😂 and one year later I’m still here! The Coaches and the people are the best!
I started going here only training with a coach but shortly after I decided to get a membership. The support and the environment is what convinced me to join. Everyone is so supportive and encouraging on your lifts and is happy to see you in the gym.
New to kickboxing? Start at Houston Colosseum Academy
Houston Colosseum Academy 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 Houston Colosseum Academy
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.
