From the reviews

Best martial arts gym I’ve ever been to. The vibe is immaculate. Whether you want to casually learn Muay Thai at a chill pace, or if you want to push yourself physically, or if you want to really learn how to fight, this gym can offer you any experience you seek.

★★★★★ — Daniela, Apr 2026

Hands down one of the best martial arts spots around. Coach JJ and Coach Nicky truly care about everyone that walks through the door. They push you hard, critique your form, sharpen your mindset, and make sure goals are dialed in.

★★★★★ — Michael, Mar 2026

I walked into War Room Performance not ever having any martial arts experience and they were the most welcoming gym I've ever been too. Coach Nicky and JJ push you in the most healthiest way and build your confidence in ways you didn't think was possible.

New to kickboxing? Start at WAR ROOM PERFORMANCE

WAR ROOM PERFORMANCE 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 WAR ROOM PERFORMANCE

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.
