From the reviews
The absolute best boxing gym in Kalamazoo and probably all of Michigan! I've trained at multiple gyms before, and Kzoo Boxing is the one gym I can say taught me a lot. Jermont Reece is the coach there — he's great!
The guys, coaches and other fighters, at KZOO Boxing are great. I've learned a lot from my one-on-one lessons from Coach Reese. Great for learning to box and/or getting in shape.
I’ve been to many boxing gyms, this is the best one. The classes and the one on one sessions with coach Jermont have been amazing learning experiences
My friend and I had a great experience while we were at this gym. We almost chickened out on our first day because we were nervous. The coach sprinted out to us and encouraged us to come back into the gym. We had THE BEST time.
New to muay thai? Start at Kzoo Boxing
Kzoo Boxing 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 Kzoo Boxing
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.
