From the reviews
I wish I would have found Tre and Sapien Art Fitness sooner. At 40, I had pretty much plateaued with my training as an elite runner, and even though I did some strength training on my own, I knew I wanted to get into the best shape of my life, and also learn martial arts geared towards practical self-defense.
I have been working with Tre for the passed several months. Found his gym through a love for boxing and staying fit over 30. The workouts are catered to each person and he’s very supportive as a trainer which is what I need otherwise I won’t do anything at the gym. He’s made fitness fun again and our sessions fly by.
I am a retired 63 year old. I stay pretty active and considered myself to be in decent shape. My son was working out with Tre on a regular basis and he was always telling me how incredible the workouts were and how great he felt when he was done with his workouts. I finally gave Sapien a try and I am glad I did.
The inside of this gym is like a beautiful temple for youth and adult fighters. It has the boxing ring, bags, weights, mats, and more to become a complete fighter. You can pick your niche in boxing, kickboxing, grappling, or whatever your heart desires. It's semi exclusive, so talk to Tre, the owner and head trainer.
New to kickboxing? Start at Sapien Art Fitness
Sapien Art Fitness 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 Sapien Art 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.
