From the reviews

For the past 7 years or so I’ve been a part of Ultimate gyms boxing gym and the sport of boxing. I moved from New York to Charlotte in 2016 and did not expect to find a gritty competitive gym like New York has. I visited some that were in garages & people’s homes.

★★★★★ — Joey, Jun 2025

The experience and MA/boxing talent that shows up to train, and assist, at this gym is authentic and empowering. I’ve been going to the Ultimate Gym on and off since 2012; every lesson has been fresh, unexpected and exactly what I needed that day.

★★★★★ — Joanna, May 2018

I trained there for a while and I'm going back. Best gym I been to in 4 years! Coaches and trainer train good and realistic. They don't want to just take your money like most gyms , they actually train you on basics and techniques before advancing.

★★★★★ — Deven, Dec 2024

Been boxing here for almost a year. Staff and regulars are extremely friendly and if you show commitment and initiative everyone there will work to help you improve whatever it is you're looking to improve. The owner Doug is a great guy and has flexible pricing.

Your first kickboxing class at Ultimate Gym

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.
