From the reviews
Been attending Meraki for almost a year and I am so happy! I've bopped around gyms since I was 16 and truly love the experience here. Coaches and owners are amazing, as is the community they have created. The variety of classes and times are also comprehensive.
Absolutely love Meraki! Been going consistently for a little over 3 months and haven’t seen results like this….ever! Coach Jay is the best, but all the trainers are amazing. Great variety of classes and times offered. Can’t recommend enough.
I absolutely love Meraki! It has been an integral part in helping me with my fitness/health goals (down 40 pounds). They have a great variety of classes with spin/circuit/strength/yoga options.
I love Meraki. Everything is clean, professional, coaches are motivating and are interested in seeing you succeed in your goals. Classes never disappoint, come ready to work, and ready to leave refreshed!
New to kickboxing? Start at Meraki Fitness
Meraki Fitness 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 Meraki Fitness
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.
