From the reviews

I absolutely love this gym! I was hesitant at first, since I am relatively out of shape and not a natural fan of exercise. On top of that, I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to keep up. It turned out to be not the case at all! They encourage you to go at your own pace, modify and take water breaks as you need them.

★★★★★ — Leslie, Jun 2019

This gym is unlike any other! They really make you feel welcome when you get there, are open to questions and are always willing to help if you need a modification! The staff is great! The workouts are as hard as you want to make them and even with modifications they are still great!

★★★★★ — Kathleen, Jul 2020

Came here with a friend, and I got my butt handed to me! Sarah (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was a kicka** instructor, and she was very informative! Great atmosphere for working out and getting in the zone! I left sweaty, sore, and with a smile on my face! Will be back and highly recommend!

New to kickboxing? Start at Total Fitness Kickboxing - Knoxville, TN

Total Fitness Kickboxing - Knoxville, TN 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 Total Fitness Kickboxing - Knoxville, TN

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.
