From the reviews
As a former amateur kickboxer, boxer and professional boxer- I can't recommend Jack’s Kickboxing Gym enough. This gym has been a cornerstone of my development &training, providing an environment that fosters growth and excellence in both boxing and kickboxing.
Jacks boxing gym is a rarity when it comes to comfort and training for women. I have trained at a few places. So when I found Jacks Gym, I knew I was home. The owners are not just experienced, but are right there in the mix. They have specialized classes just for women, that involve boxing, kickboxing and self defense.
I’ve been going to Jacks for a about two months now, and I’m honestly hooked! The coaches are super friendly and actually take the time to help you with your form, which I really appreciate. The workouts are tough but fun, and I leave feeling like I’ve accomplished something every time.
Jacks gym is by far one of the best gyms in this state. The facility is clean, the coaching is phenomenal, great vibes & people always willing to lend a helping hand to newcomers walking through the door. I highly recommend jacks gym to anyone looking to getting into training.
New to muay thai? Start at Jack's Kickboxing Gym
Jack's Kickboxing Gym 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 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 Jack's Kickboxing Gym
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.
