From the reviews
The Mecca Institute is a family oriented facility. The coaches and clients are always friendly and helpful. Each sessions, I attended are always unique, fun, active, and guarantee you to sweat.
I’ve been training with Kendrick for years and watched him build MECCA from the ground up. You can’t help but to feel inspired and to train hard as soon as you walk through the front door. The facility is complete with everything you need to grind.
Fell in love with Mecca Performance Institute Lake Park from day one. Coach Kendrick is caring and supportive. My son(15) loves the boxing and wrestling that is offered at Mecca. The location is minutes from my house. The gym offers all type of sports for the entire family.
Went for a trial and was throughly impressed, the facilities were state of the art and the workout was catered to my beginner needs. Trainers were friendly and very accommodating even when I had a million questions. Definitely recommend!
New to kickboxing? Start at Mecca Performance Institute
Mecca Performance Institute 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 Mecca Performance Institute
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.
