From the reviews
I’ve trained in most state college gyms and I can say that Legacy is the best real combat sports gym in the area BY FAR. The best training quality and surprisingly AFFORDABLE for the quality and authenticity of training. The coaches are Incredible and well qualified. You can train Boxing, Judo, Kickboxing, and MMA.
Phenomenal Boxing Gym. World class talent to be had here. On top of that there coach is coach of the year. Would recommend to anyone trying to get into boxing or combat sports as a whole.
Awesome place to train and learn to fight. I joined Legacy with little experience, and the coaching transformed me as an athlete and as a boxer. I also quickly got connected with the other athletes training there, and built a good set of relationships that helped me keep growing.
Great place to train and learn boxing. This gym got me in the best shape of my life thanks to the elite coaching talent!
New to kickboxing? Start at Legacy Boxing and Combat Sports Academy
Legacy Boxing and Combat Sports Academy 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 Legacy Boxing and Combat Sports Academy
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.
