From the reviews
Boxing gym is a great spot to visit. Was in town for the weekend and is stopped by to check this place out. The owners wife greeted me and was super welcoming and friendly. I booked a day there ($10) and started hitting the pads.
IronGloves Boxing has been an excellent place for me. It has taught me a lot and helped me stay in great shape. The owners are great, the gym is always clean, and the trainers are motivating and professional. I’ve been training here for over two years, and Coach Wes is one of the best coaches you’ll ever find.
I got to do some 1-on-1 trainings here for a while. Worked with John, and he's a real professional. He's been teaching boxing now for over a decade and so he knows A LOT. He was truly awesome to work with. The facility is nice, well taken care of, it's clean, and lots of space.
This is my favorite gym I have ever been to, I have trained 1-on-1 with Chris on and off for about a year and attended open gym as well. Renene and Joe are so nice and they run a great operation, all of the trainers are super friendly and welcoming to people of all skill levels.
New to kickboxing? Start at Irongloves Boxing Gym
Irongloves Boxing Gym 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 Irongloves Boxing Gym
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.
