From the reviews
Run - don't walk - to Shell Shock Fitness! Or do walking lunges or burpees... Shellie and her team of trainers offer various types of workout classes so each session is unique and fresh. Each hour feels like a personal training session for a fraction of the price. You never get bored and the music is so fun!
I had several visits to the studio for technique training, certification and firness classes and each visit was better than the other.....this is by far the BEST fitness studio/gym I’ve ever been too and would HIGHLY recommend it to all friends and family....
It’s beyond comparison! Nothing else like it. I love the atmosphere, the people, and all the workouts. We are a TEAM, and you will be part of it too. All abilities, ages, shapes, and sizes...you will be amazed by the things these instructors can teach you to do, and the confidence you will gain.
I have been going here since the day they opened their doors! Such an amazing place! It always feels like family. You are greeted by name, sometimes a high five and or a hug! One would think that after 5 yrs the workouts would get old. It’s always different and each instructor is unique.
New to kickboxing? Start at Shell Shock Fitness
Shell Shock 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 Shell Shock 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.
