★★★★★ — Kiwana, Jun 2022

Awesome place to get your workout! Can't say enough about the very helpful, and nice instructors. Take advantage of the membership, and the classes. From my experience: I was afraid to come workout because of my size. but I was welcomed and no judgement what so ever!

This place is great - thank you Saul and company! Having been working out in some shape or fashion for 25 years now, being a member at various gyms across the country, I’d put MERC right at the top of best places. The family friendly atmosphere and smiles cannot be beat.

Your first kickboxing class at MERC FITNESS ASYLUM

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
