From the reviews
I started training in boxing and Muay Thai one year ago at Lombard MMA, and have progressed from the beginners classes into the advanced classes. The gym has given me a community outside of the stresses of grad school, and a healthy outlet.
I took kickboxing classes along with some of my teammates and it was such a great experience. Every class was different but I always left sweating and feeling like I had a great workout.
I've been training here for about eight months and I can truly say that joining this gym is one of the best decisions I have ever made regarding my fitness. The classes are all expertly taught by dedicated, experienced, and knowledgable coaches. You get an excellent workout and learn important technical skills.
Lombard MMA provides an atmosphere like none other. It is intense and challenging, yet encouraging and fun. Bruce takes time to get to know each member that walks in his gym and truly cares about seeing individuals transform into their best selves.
New to kickboxing? Start at LombardMMA
LombardMMA comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 LombardMMA
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.
