★★★★★ — Ryan, Nov 2023

I’ve been going to UFC gym market square for almost a year now. I have had a great experience every time. I have taken BJJ classes with Pedro and cannot recommend him enough. Also, Jake has been very helpful as well. From workout tips to good conversation, he makes the gym feel like family.

Jake Sterling at UFC Gym Market Square provided an outstanding experience from start to finish. He was professional, welcoming, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain all the membership options without any pressure. What really impressed me was how genuinely invested he was in helping me succeed.

★★★★★ — Sylvia, May 2026

I have been going to the UFC gym downtown for almost 4 months now, and my only regret is not getting a membership for this gym months ago! This location is always clean, all the staff members and coaches are super friendly and knowledgeable, and the fitness classes offered have been a huge factor in helping me reach…

Your first kickboxing class at UFC Gym Market Square

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.
