From the reviews

Great place to go if you wanna work on your cardio. Fernando is really nice and he's patient with new people. No appointment needed when I arrived. I believe class is first come, first served or wait till the next class starts if you show up late.

★★★★★ — Harwood, Jun 2024

Instructor Fernando was informative and awesome. Super cool kickboxing spot at reasonable pricing, also accepts class pass. Definitely will come again. Be sure to be at least 10 mins so you can warm up. Like the quote on the wall: "the first and greatest victory is to conquer self"

★★★★★ — John, Feb 2019

I can’t speak highly enough on Rise! I started right about a year ago with no experience or real understanding of kickboxing. I’d gained the “Covid-19” from sitting at my desk at home working all day and knew I needed to make a change.

★★★★★ — Quentin, Jan 2021

Rise and their crew are fantastic. The classes here provide a killer workout, full of partner work, intense cardio, and great ab work. The coaches are skilled at identifying individual areas for growth and challenging beginners and experienced alike.

★★★★★ — Evan, Jul 2022

New to kickboxing? Start at Rise Kickbox

Rise Kickbox 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 Rise Kickbox

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
