From the reviews
Best workout I've had in years! I tried an XFIT class 6 months ago and I've been hooked ever since. I was a complete beginner, with no previous kickboxing or martial arts experience and the coaches were amazing at brining me up to speed. All of the coaches are great.
The BEST Martial Arts Gym for Kids and Adults! I've been coming to XMA for over 4 years for the X-Fit Kickboxing. There is a reason why I drive from San Jose to Los Gatos almost every day. The community is awesome. The classes will make you sweat like crazy and their fun!!
Love this gym! Started off with kickboxing which is a really great cardio workout and stress reliever. Kept coming back for strength training. I’m a total beginner and Coach Payam makes sure my form is correct and that I’m pushing myself every class. The community is super welcoming and encouraging.
I’ve been training weekly with Payam at XMA Fitness for almost two years now and continue to love every minute of it. While it does serve to break up the monotony of my typical daily workout, the truth of the matter is that this is the one workout each week that I really look forward to.
New to kickboxing? Start at Xtreme Martial Arts and Fitness Center
Xtreme Martial Arts and Fitness Center 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 Xtreme Martial Arts and Fitness Center
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.
