From the reviews
I've been a member at knockout for 2 years now. I've joined a lot of gyms in this area and this is the only one that I've stuck with. Jon is great, he takes a personal interest in your training with whatever it is you wanna do... boxing, conditioning, weight training, he offers it all and at a great price.
My son and I joined Knockout Boxing’s Middletown Gym about 5 years ago. It was a great experience from start to finish. The staff were knowledgeable and accommodating in how they walked us through drills designed for beginners to develop the skills necessary to eventually spar.
Brought two of my Boys to Knockout Boxing Bel Air for their first Boxing Experience and lesson. And it was above and beyond what my Wife and I expected they jumped right in and the Instructor was on Point!!! Right into Drills, Handwork and Footwork.
My family has had an amazing experience at knockout boxing over the last two years. Originally I signed my son up for private lessons at the bel air location to help improve his body strength and coordination. He worked one on one with Adrian who was incredible.
New to kickboxing? Start at Knockout Boxing & Fitness
Knockout Boxing & Fitness 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 Knockout Boxing & 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.
