From the reviews
Smash Hit Kickboxing is a fantastic place to be, regardless of your goals or expertise. The trainers give you individual attention, even in group classes. Everyone -- including students -- are extremely friendly and helpful.
I've been training at Smash Hit Kickboxing Club for over 2 years and highly recommended it. It's in the Business District of historic Pontiac, and the building has charm. It was built in 1886, and when you enter, there's a long stairwell that takes you to the 2nd floor.
Stress ranks at the top of my list of triggers that aggravate my autoimmune arthritis. I kickbox as a way to alleviate stress and keep my arthritis manageable. Many think that kickboxing would be too difficult and painful for a person who has joint issues in hands, hips, shoulders, and back.
Amazing Instructors, great prices! Worth every penny, first class is free! I usually get the $100/month unlimited package - otherwise classes are $15 each and they have tons of package options that are worth it! Real-world boxing and kickboxing skills. Gym is a fantastic setting - authentic kickboxing gym.
New to kickboxing? Start at Smash Hit Kickboxing Club
Smash Hit Kickboxing Club 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 Smash Hit Kickboxing Club
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.
