From the reviews

Luke is a great trainer who is able to tailor his approach to people whose goals and abilities vary greatly. My husband and I have gained a lot by working with Luke.

Fantastic gym and great trainers. Coach LT is passionate about teaching. I have learned so much on her kickboxing sessions.

★★★★★ — Cheri, Aug 2023

I train at STH with Coach Tobias. I love the area. Plenty of space and so many pieces of equipment to get a full workout! I love all the coaches as they are all wicked friendly. Would highly recommend this gym for anyone looking for a dedicated coach who wants to help see you become a better version of you!

★★★★★ — Holly, Mar 2025

Fantastic gym to be a part of! I take boxing classes and Personal Training with Luke. Luke takes the time to go over basics to make sure you have a solid foundation to build upon. Very knowledgeable and safety is always first.

New to kickboxing? Start at Strength Through Movement

Strength Through Movement 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 Strength Through Movement

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.
