From the reviews
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for “kickboxing near me”, THIS will be your new favorite goto gym in/near Pocatello. Coach John is the absolute BEST. He’s the kindest man OFF the mats, and the most disciplined, informative, helpful teacher ON the mats.
I would 100% recommend phoenix kickboxing and self defense! It is a safe, and inviting place with an amazing instructor and peers that want to help you succeed as well. I was blown away at my experience today.
Phoenix Kickboxing and Self-defense is a great place to train regardless of if you want a workout or if you want to improve your self-defense skills. John is a wonderful instructor and takes the time to individually assess your learning and help you work towards your goals. I am incredibly glad that I signed up.
Joining Phoenix Kickboxing about five months ago was one of the best decisions I’ve made! I’ve never been a workout fanatic, but this place has completely changed my perspective.
Your first kickboxing class at Phoenix Kickboxing and Self-Defense
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.
