Great place to workout, friendly and welcoming staff. Taft Athletic Club has everything you need from a wide range of cardio machines, weights, and a multi-purpose room which can be used for stretching, etc. Very spacious!

★★★★★ — Aastha, Feb 2016

It’s been a long time since I’ve found a local gym that had good equipment and reasonable rates. My husband and I were in the area for a short time, but with the Oregon winter I needed a place I could go and get a good sweat. TAC is A MUST for anytime of year but especially the winter season along the Oregon coast.

★★★★★ — Melanie, Feb 2018

The owner is one of the nicest people I have met and is extremely helpful. The staff and volunteers are also incredibly friendly. They have been willing to give me advice and set me up with a workout plan at no additional charge. The people here are extremely knowledgeable about fitness and health as well.

Your first kickboxing class at Taft Athletic Club

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.
