From the reviews
I’ve been coming here for the past year and a half, and even with other options available, I’ve stayed because of the dedication of the coaches and the sense of camaraderie I’ve built with the staff and other members. I really appreciate the community atmosphere here.
There is no other place in NELA like LAKO. Don’t let the fact that it’s a boxing gym intimidate you. Everyone there from front desk, to trainers, to the other members are not only friendly and welcoming, but they make you feel strong and empowered every time you walk through the doors.
One of the best gyms in the area! The trainers are all super knowledgeable and friendly. I love the women’s boxing class—it’s great for all levels. The Tuesday 5:15 boot camp is another favorite. Spencer and Greg are amazing! It’s definitely a challenging class, but they’re both really supportive and make it fun.
The atmosphere is welcoming, motivating, and full of positive energy. The workouts are challenging but rewarding, and every session pushes you to become stronger both physically and mentally. The gym is clean, well-organized, and equipped with everything needed for high-quality training. Best gym in town.
New to kickboxing? Start at Shark Boxing Club - Eagle Rock
Shark Boxing Club - Eagle Rock 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 Shark Boxing Club - Eagle Rock
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.
