It’s hard to stay motivated on a fitness journey without support and the classes are an encouraging atmosphere to form relationships with others. One of-the best results in joining Kickhouse was building connections with the other members to help me stay focused and accountable for my goals!

★★★★★ — Chelsea, Oct 2024

Im so happy and grateful I found KICKHOUSE!! I was nervous to find a place to go but as soon as I walked in the door I felt at home. The people and instructors are so welcoming and guide you along the way. I have been going for a month now and Im making this apart of my lifestyle.

★★★★★ — Renita, Mar 2025

Kickboxing review I fell in love with this workout after the first class I did it! It was something I never thought I’d do, but after trying it; it was so much more exciting than the gym. Once I finally got the punches and kicks down it was just me and the bag. It got any aggression out id been feeling that day.

New to kickboxing? Start at KickHouse Tacoma

KickHouse Tacoma 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 KickHouse Tacoma

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
