The classes they run
“The workouts are pretty intense, I’m not going to lie but I love that we change stations and it’s more of a hiit style circuit training.”

From the reviews
I just joined Jabbs gym about a month ago. I was the type to workout on my own. I had always tried fitness groups here and there but found it hard to really connect. When I stepped into Jabbs I instantly felt the love and positive energy.
Jabs gym Eastern Market is the place to be. 6am cross-training is an amazing class whether you are new to fitness or looking to perfect your form and challenge yourself. Coach Ryon’s classes are great for learning proper form/technique and the atmosphere and people really push you.
JABS gym is the place to be! The Kickboxing class is my literal therapy session and I look forward to going to it each day no matter how tired I am. As someone who has never been very consistent with fitness, I can say that the instructors and classes at JABS have changed this for me and have motivated me.
My new favorite place. Took Kickboxing as my first free class, and bought the 21-day pass before I left. I've been there almost every day. Kinda obsessed. Hadn't been on a regular workout routine in almost a year, but I jumped in the Crosstrain classes, and it's exciting to see myself get better and stronger each…
New to kickboxing? Start at Jabs Gym Eastern Market
Jabs Gym Eastern Market 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 Jabs Gym Eastern Market
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.
