From the reviews
RoundKick Gym is the best! I love that the classes are never the same and the trainers keep everyone motivated! They are always excited to teach the classes and are encouraging to everyone! We have a really nice mix of awesome people to work out with too! I always feel great after a workout! Absolutely love this place!
I have been working out at RoundKick for 5+ years. It is the best in kickboxing and strength training around!! The instructors (especially Pete, the owner) keep you motivated and the work outs change everyday! Love it!
I just started my Muay Thai Journey at 34yrs of age, I previously was bodybuilding and now looking for something a little more challenging. I love the atmosphere and the people at the gym, also the community that is involved with Muay Thai.
Don't let the few reviews dissuade you. This is an excellent gym with a very experienced coach and many friendly and skilled members. Great for anyone with no experience, or actively competing at a high level.
New to kickboxing? Start at RoundKick Gym
RoundKick Gym 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 RoundKick Gym
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.
