From the reviews
I joined Pedigo Submission Fighting back in March and I wish I had joined earlier. I wanted to pick up a new discipline, meet new people, and take my personal health to the next level. The culture and camaraderie that this gym has is on another level.
PSF Bloomington isn’t just a top tier place to train but also a great place to build yourself as a person. This team is always great to see whether it’s at competition or a practice the environment they hold goes everywhere and really make it feel like another home.
BEST GYM IN BLOOMINGTON!!!! I am a complete newbie and Coach Jared and Zac have been the best for teaching a rookie. They have broken down how the classes and team do things. I have gained so much knowledge and some of the best people that are now my friends.
The guys at the gym are very welcoming. The team is like a family to me. Jared is an amazing teacher, coach, and support for everyone that walks in the doors. I am also proud to be one of the local artists on the team that was commissioned to help paint the murals.
New to kickboxing? Start at Pedigo Submission Fighting Bloomington
Pedigo Submission Fighting Bloomington 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 Pedigo Submission Fighting Bloomington
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.
