From the reviews
I tried BJJ, boxing, Muay Thai and weight lifting here for the first time and fell in love. This is my local neighborhood MMA gym and I’m so thankful to live close by. Marcus, Mishel, Rafa, and Chris all have a contagious energy that makes you want to become your best version.
Such a great experience, feels like family and great instructors. They even address me by name. Made me feel welcomed and invited. Close by to where I live. Parking is a bit tight but get there early enough to find a spot. I wanted to switch up my routine of dance and fitness and put on some gloves.
Sending my daughter to System Training Center's summer camp was the best decision we made! She enjoyed every single day and never wanted to miss a moment. I especially appreciated how Coach Mishel kept me updated each week with messages and pictures—seeing how much fun my daughter was having really meant a lot.
This MMA gym is amazing! The coaches are so patient with my 4 year-old and extremely experienced. I started taking classes myself because of how great my experience here has been. I would definitely recommend this to anyone thinking about signing up!
New to kickboxing? Start at Systems Training Center
Systems Training Center 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 Systems Training Center
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.
