From the reviews
Cyrus is a fantastic instructor that can teach all ages. He makes each lesson fun and challenging and you always feel like you’ve learned or improved. He works with not only your body helping you understand proper body mechanics for boxing but he also helps you realize your mind is very a important tool that needs to…
My son Michael has been training at Sanctuary Boxing Gym for a year now and we love it! Coach and team are very knowledgeable and thorough with each training session. Coach Cyrus and his trainers are amazing!
Sanctuary boxing gym is an incredible experience for anyone new to the sport, it is designed to be welcoming and supportive, creating a positive environment where people of all fitness levels and backgrounds come together to learn and grow.
My son has been training with Cyrus and team for almost a year now. He started off at a very beginners level (couldn’t even jump rope). Sanctuary Boxing has shown him the skills he needs to continue with his journey of learning boxing. He has excelled and maybe will even begin competing soon.
New to kickboxing? Start at Sanctuary Boxing Gym
Sanctuary Boxing 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 Sanctuary Boxing 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.
