From the reviews
Great place. Great hours. Great people. Hands down the best gym in Cleveland. They offer affordable classes for every type of person. If you don’t have a family then you will definitely have one after coming here.
This gym is amazing! Great staff, great prices, kiddo friendly, lots of classes. Now tney have Bars Loaded for your loaded teas and protien shakes. They keep adding so many great things. I could put so much more. People there become like family! Highly recommend!!
My husband and I LOVE SouthSide Fitness!! I was hesitant at first because I have a hard time with change, but we were ready to move onto something more. We fell in love immediately. Anthony showed us around and was such a nice person.
Absolutely love the place! The owner is cool as hell,gave me a week trial to see if I liked it or not. Im all about fully supporting locally owned businesses and this one is. They have alot to offer members, including multiple different types of classes, several different workout rooms and a full boxing ring!
New to kickboxing? Start at Southside Fitness
Southside Fitness 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 Southside 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.
