From the reviews

I've had the pleasure of working with Visions in-house Physical Therapist, Anthony Ruscello, and I can't recommend him enough! From my years at Vision the community makes you feel welcomed the moment you walked in. Anthony is a great addition to the already incredible team of trainers and coaches.

★★★★★ — Ben, Jul 2024

My family and I have loved being a part of Vision Fitness! It is a family friendly place with very kind people who want to see you succeed. The adult fitness classes and kids classes are wonderful.

★★★★★ — Krista, Aug 2024

I've been at Vision a little over a year now and joining is the best decision I ever made. From the fitness classes to the in house recovery/therapy to the brilliant coaches on the MMA side, you can't go wrong here. I pulled my pec in my first jiujitsu competition and my guys Tim and Anthony didn't miss a beat.

★★★★★ — Tyler, Jan 2026

I don’t do MMA here. But I do utilize the personal training services there. Tim has been an awesome coach for me while I train for ultramarathons. He helps keep me on track and motivated during weightlifting sessions, nutrition intervention, and bi-weekly phone call check ins.

New to kickboxing? Start at VISION FITNESS & MMA

VISION FITNESS & MMA 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 VISION FITNESS & MMA

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.
