From the reviews
SL Fitness & Martial Arts is truly one of the best places in St. Petersburg for kids to grow—not just in martial arts, but in life. The location is convenient and family-friendly, and the facility has a welcoming atmosphere. What really stands out is the discipline and structure the instructors provide.
I am incredibly impressed with SL fitness and martial arts! The instructors are not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also incredibly patient and supportive. Sasa creates a positive and encouraging environment that has really boosted my daughter's confidence and discipline.
As a woman who has always been interested in boxing, I recently decided to try a personal boxing class. It was one of the best decisions I've made. My instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. He didn't just teach me how to punch; he taught me the proper footwork, stance, and defensive moves.
I was referred to Lazic Fitness & Martial Arts by another parent at the end of last school year, and I’m so glad I was. Coach Sasha and Ms. Barbara welcomed both of my kids with professionalism and respect.
New to kickboxing? Start at Lazic Fitness & Martial Arts
Lazic Fitness & Martial Arts 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 Lazic Fitness & Martial Arts
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.
