From the reviews
I've now done kickboxing at three different gyms and this one is the best I've been to. I have stayed at Classic Kickboxing because their instructors are SO kind and help adjust the class to help out newcomers.
I've only taken 4 classes at Classic Kickboxing so far, but they've all been great! Mauricio and Phoebe are both wonderful instructors. They manage to guide everyone through a workout that's both challenging and appropriate for all skill levels, while still letting you know it's okay to listen to your body and do…
Classic Kickboxing has been the ideal gym to get a good workout and learn a new skill. The staff are consistently friendly and helpful, students are supportive of one another, and the gym is always clean. I love walking into class and immediately feeling the positive atmosphere.
Wow I had so much fun at my first class! Indoor kickboxing is packed with variety and fun combos. Mauricio is a very welcoming and humble soul. I felt comfortable and free to take a breather when needed. I will definitely be returning, what a fun way to workout in 50 mins!
New to muay thai? Start at Classic Kickboxing
Classic Kickboxing 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 program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all 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 muay thai class at Classic Kickboxing
Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals 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.
