From the reviews
I can’t say enough good things about MA Fitness Kickboxing in St Petersburg FLA! Matt and his team run an absolutely first rate operation. I’ve been attending MA’s kickboxing classes for about 6-8 months and loving every minute of it before I finally had to have a shoulder surgery due to bone growth that had developed…
Absolutely the Best Place to Train! I've been training here and it's hands down the best place for kickboxing, toning your legs and arms, and staying in shape. The workouts are intense, effective, and super fun — you really make the most out of your time.
I had been hearing about MA Fitness for a couple years and finally decided to check it out last Friday. It was fabulous! The gym is legit, and Matt the owner gave me a free session. He loaned me a pair of kickboxing gloves, gave me a short tutorial, then let me join the class. Keegan the instructor was great.
This is the best all-around gym. The classes are designed to get the most out of your time there and the coaches are amazing. They are always motivating me and pushing me to do my best. Coach Taylor is the ultimate cheerleader and always helping with form.
New to kickboxing? Start at MA Fitness Kickboxing - St Pete
MA Fitness Kickboxing - St Pete 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 MA Fitness Kickboxing - St Pete
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.
