From the reviews
Approaching one year at Reality Fitness has left me feeling grateful to share my experience. Regardless of age, skill level, physical limitations - Reality Fitness delivers real results for every person. The variety in each class keeps you progressing and fully engaged whether it’s kickboxing or strength training.
Real authentic trainers. I’ve tried so many gyms that are super cliquey and they have their core group of people and you feel out of place. This place you are a family. They care about every person who walks through that door and know your name within a day or two of going.
Reality Fitness is incredible. The kickboxing and strength training classes are challenging, motivating and genuinely fun! The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, and take the time to help you improve your technique while pushing you to be your best.
I can’t recommend Reality Fitness enough. You can always expect high quality workouts, tons of guidance from Jess & Kelly & the best community ever. Whether you’re looking for kickboxing classes or strength training - this is the place for you!
New to kickboxing? Start at Reality Fitness
Reality Fitness 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 Reality 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.
