From the reviews
Honestly, I'm OBSESSED with Mission MMA!! I've been going to this Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym in West Town Chicago for a while now, and it's literally changed my life. First of all, the coaches are AMAZING.
I have nothing but good things to say about Mission MMA! For those wondering what a kickboxing session looks like, they are group classes that rarely number below double digits in the afternoon and evening sessions. Classes last about an hour in total.
This gym is the real deal. From the moment you step in, the staff and members make you feel welcome, and the atmosphere is both motivating and supportive. The coaching is on another level.
I had a brief stint training here when I lived in Chicago, and I truly can’t say enough positive things about my experience. Great people, great community, and an amazing atmosphere. The coach is phenomenal, and the gym is always very clean and organized.
New to kickboxing? Start at Mission MMA & Fitness
Mission MMA & 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 Mission MMA & 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.
