From the reviews
I've never been to a gym that didn't have a very welcoming and safety oriented culture but JWF is the best of the best in culture, instruction, and safety. All the coaches and other members are extremely friendly and supportive. Professor James is especially great with the kids team.
My kiddos have gone here for around 7 months. Coach James is so encouraging and has helped my children thrive and fall in love with the sport. My kids look forward to BJJ days and happily show off their skills. My 7 yr old daughter has really thrived and now has confidence she never had before.
Family has been going for a few years now and always a good experience. James is a great coach for adults and kids. My young son has a basket fell of medical problems, all of which are treated with respect.
When our eldest daughter said she was interested in trying some type of martial arts, my wife and I were taken aback. She had done ballet for years and is the epitome of a “girlie-girl”; we had some reservations at the very least. We asked around and people emphatically recommended James and Samantha.
Your first kickboxing class at James White Fitness
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.
