From the reviews
My life has changed for the best since I joined Rockbox Blakeney. The workout is intense but fun and never boring. A great way to start or finish your day. They offer multiple classes throughout the day making it easy to include it in your daily routine and be consistent.
I've been a member since before this gym moved to the new location. I have enjoyed the workouts and the trainers as a whole. There is a clear emphasis on camaraderie and you don't get lost in the numbers.
Whenever I visit my parents in Waxhaw, I make sure to take a least 1 class at RockBox. I consider myself a fit individual and when coming to smaller cities can be hard to find high intensity and safe workout to meet my fitness regime. It’s a great workout, each instructor I have had is uplifting and knowledgeable.
RockBox is an AMAZING place to workout. After kids and several years of a sedentary life style, they helped me get back to loving workouts. The classes are so much fun! Great music, funky lights, great instructors, and great people.
New to kickboxing? Start at RockBox Fitness Waverly
RockBox Fitness Waverly 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 RockBox Fitness Waverly
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.
