From the reviews

Chris and Lucina provide on of the best workout experiences I have ever had! Chris is a world-class boxer who is focused, intentional, creative and intense with every workout. His workouts are certain to work every single part of your body.

★★★★★ — Biz, Feb 2020

I hate the gym! I researched so many gyms in our area and stumbled upon Sweet Science which is not a gym! I signed up for a free, private boxing class through the MindBody app and didn't know what to expect. Chris and Lucina were so patient with me, and great at what they do.

★★★★★ — Stacey, Dec 2023

5 stars for Sweet Science Boxing. It’s boxing, but more. Chris is patient and has a great understanding of individual needs. He motivates, but is never pushy. His ability to teach boxing to this 55 year old is amazing! I walked in lacking fitness and now feel so much stronger.

★★★★★ — Heidi, May 2024

I was shopping around looking for a place that I could learn boxing. After scheduling a private session with Chris, I was only there five minutes and I knew I was in the right spot with the right person. Chris is a very knowledgeable and motivating coach.

New to kickboxing? Start at Sweetscience VB

Sweetscience VB 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 Sweetscience VB

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.
