From the reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've been training at Phantom Kickboxing & Fitness, and I can't say enough about how fantastic Axel is as a trainer. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about each individual's progress.
Hands down THE BEST gym you will find. The family-like atmosphere makes working out fun and exciting. They welcome everyone with open arms. The work outs are never the same, and you leave each class proud of yourself for pushing through it.
Started going to Phantom a little over a month now doing small group boxing sessions with coach Axel. I’m a former collegiate athlete and at any sport/level I’ve played at Axel is one of the best trainer/coach/instructor I have ever had.
Absolutely a 5 star experience at Phantom Kickboxing. The coaches are all amazing and it’s a great workout while having fun. I do personal training during the week and attend Saturday classes with my wife and daughter. We all love it! Highly recommend!
New to kickboxing? Start at Phantom Kickboxing & Fitness
Phantom Kickboxing & 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 Phantom Kickboxing & 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.
