The classes they run
“‘Train’ is one of the best full body workouts ever but all the classes are great for any skill level, including people who have never boxed before!”
“The first time I ever tried kickboxing was here in 2019, and it was so much fun that my now-wife and I signed up to be members and came to classes regularly for a few months.”
“I was a beginner with no boxing/kickboxing experience and now feel like I could walk into any boxing gym and have the knowledge and techniques to be successful.”
“She also went over the TRAIN class that I’d be taking which is a Boxing, Strength and Conditioning format.”

From the reviews
Pittsburgh Punch has become my home away from home for the past two and a half years. I had never boxed before and the concept of boxing was very intimidating to me, but I wanted to try something new.
I joined Pittsburgh Punch only a couple of months ago and very happy I did! I once was very active but fell off the last couple of years and these classes at Punch have really been helping me reach my strength/fitness goal again.
I am not the healthiest person. I have had multiple surgeries over the past three years which has caused significant weight gain. When I finally got the all clear to try working-out again I decided I needed to find a gym that made exercise exciting and left out the shame culture.
If you’re looking for an amazing workout that pushes you past your comfort zone (in a good way) look no further! From the environment to the coaches, Pittsburgh Punch gets a 5/5! Their coaches and friendly and motivating, while always making sure you are learning the correct form.
New to kickboxing? Start at Punch Boxing & Fitness Studio
Punch Boxing & Fitness Studio 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 Punch Boxing & Fitness Studio
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.
