From the reviews

Solis boxing is perfect for people wanting to learn boxing in an old school setting. The gym might look rough around the edges but they have good equipment and expert staff. The coaches know their stuff and are great at coaching beginners to advanced levels.

★★★★★ — Atul, Feb 2023

I have been training at a few boxing gyms, in the past 6 years.. from HitFITsf, Third Street Boxing, Evolve Gym.. to name them.. Solis has a large facility with many bags to work on, and solid equipment to help strengthen your Boxing game.

★★★★★ — Alice, Feb 2023

One of the best boxing coaches in the Bay Area. I primarily do Muay Thai and Fernando has done a great job of adapting to what I need for boxing in Muay Thai. There's a reason why he's called the Mexican Miyagi.

★★★★★ — Jose, Feb 2023

They call him the Mexican Miyagi for a reason! Coach Fernando incorporates strength training and punching drills that will help you understand how they are applicable to boxing. There tons of equipment from kettle bells, medicine balls, mace bars, club bells, heavy bags, uppercut bags..

★★★★★ — Henry, Feb 2023

New to kickboxing? Start at Solis Boxing

Solis Boxing 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 Solis Boxing

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
