From the reviews
Very huge place great atmosphere and very friendly staff. I been working and still train with grandmaster Farouk for over 25plus years still compete very frequently and I am 42years Old and grandmaster Farouk is currently the best instructor I ever studied with thank you so much sheikstkd.
This place is great! They're open during lockdown and no one has to wear a mask. We can sweat all over the equipment and don't even have to wipe it down. Once you get used to the stink of perspiration it's not too bad.
An incredible place! My daughter takes gymnastics, son takes Tae Kwon Do, and mom takes kickboxing!! Family fitness and fun for all abilities and ages. :) highly recommended!!

New to kickboxing? Start at Sheiks Family Fitness Center
Sheiks Family Fitness Center 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 Sheiks Family Fitness Center
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.
