Instead of just making my clients punch a heavy bag for "9 rounds", I actually teach you pure boxing technique that would be good in the ring or on the streets in self defense. We go through offense, defense, footwork, agility drills, core work, and everything else that is fundamental to the sport of boxing. I enjoy seeing my students and clients reach their fitness goals and build self confidence. I am a coach and a teacher by nature so my success is attached to my students' achievements....

Your kickboxing questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much do kickboxing classes cost?

Kickboxing classes cost $120 to $170 per month on average. Prices depend on the number of classes per week included in the membership plan and the gym or studio location. Membership plans that include unlimited classes per month typically fall at the higher end of the range.

Most gyms also offer drop-in classes for $30 to $50 each. On-demand kickboxing classes offered online cost $20 to $40 per month.

What is kickboxing?

Kickboxing is a full-contact combat sport that relies on striking movements, including punches, kicks, and knees. Competitive fights typically take place in a boxing ring, with fighters wearing boxing gloves, shorts, and mouth guards. Muay Thai, karate, and most other martial arts incorporate aspects of kickboxing.

In recent years, kickboxing has been adapted into a high-intensity calorie-burning fitness workout.

What is the difference between kickboxing and boxing?

Traditional boxing only allows punches, while kickboxing allows punches, kicks, and knees.

Is kickboxing a good workout?

Kickboxing is an excellent high-intensity workout that combines cardio and strength training to provide a variety of health and fitness benefits:

  • Build your strength and tone your muscles
  • Burn fat and lose weight
  • Improve your cardio health
  • Increase your endurance
  • Boost your energy
  • Improve your balance and coordination

A kickboxing fitness class can burn 350 to 450+ calories per hour, depending on the intensity level and class length.

Is kickboxing good for self-defense?

Kickboxing can be effective for self-defense if learned from a martial arts studio. The sport incorporates strikes like punching and kicking while also teaching you to evade or defend against attacks. However, kickboxing doesn't incorporate grappling moves like those found in Jiu-Jitsu or Aikido that help you to escape an attacker holding you on the ground.

Cardio kickboxing fitness classes don't provide self-defense skills but will improve your strength, coordination, and endurance.

How long do kickboxing classes last?

Kickboxing fitness and martial arts classes typically last 45 to 60 minutes.

Where to find kickboxing classes near me?

Follow these tips to find the best kickboxing studio near you:

  • Compare membership packages from multiple studios.
  • Read studio and instructor reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Confirm the studio offers classes for your experience level.
  • Visit the studio to confirm it's clean and well-maintained and the staff is professional.
  • Take advantage of their free or discounted trial class to ensure the studio is a good fit for you.
  • Get a copy of the membership contract in writing before making any payments.

What questions should I ask kickboxing studios?

Ask these questions to ensure you find the best kickboxing studio for you:

  • What membership plans do you offer, and how much do they cost?
  • Do you offer a free or discounted trial class?
  • What is your class schedule?
  • Are your classes beginner-friendly?
  • Are your classes more fitness-oriented or martial arts-oriented?
  • How many people are in a typical class?
  • How long does each class last?
  • What should I wear to class?
  • Do I need to be in good shape before I take a class?

All the staff are very friendly and nice and helps you through the process My elder daughter got inspired by coach Sarah and decided to take boxing more seriously. She opted for private class with Coach Kelly and is also going for level 301 class and sparring. Kelly is an awesome coach who guided her and taught her the steps. She continues to practice with Kelly

Sending many thanks to my personal trainer Josh! For many years I have been working to pass a fit test for a law enforcement academy but struggled on my own. After failing my first fit test and no success of improving, I knew I needed help. I am so glad I found Josh because he has truly helped me not only physically but mentally prepare for this test. He trains me 5 days a week, 3 in the gym and 2 at a nearby track. There are so many reasons why I truly think he is the best trainer around! 1. He is extremely nice and truly pushes you to achieve your best without being harsh or having a rude tone. I guess I had this thought in my head about trainers being really harsh but Josh is far from it. He is so kind and gives you complements throughout. Just the little things like a high five and all of his encouragement in the gym and though text is awesome! 2. Our workouts are always something new and fun! He has me working all different muscles to make sure I am well rounded for my test. Lots of interval training as well which helps so much. 3. The best part of training with Josh is that you see big improvements. Just in the first week I could tell a difference in my body and my endurance. I have lost weight and gained more muscles mass as well (I have never seen my abs and now I can see them). It truly is crazy to me to see how much I have changed physically. Fast forward a month and two weeks of training with Josh and I took a practice fit test with him on the track and I passed!!!!! I previously had been training for 3 years and never felt so good or achieved as many points as I got on that day. Also, I have never felt more confident all thanks to Josh!!!! It truly was fate that I found Josh because I was at a low point thinking I would never pass this test and my last resort was finding a trainer. Not knowing where to start, I googled personal trainers in my area and found this site and typed a zip code in and Josh came up. My dream job that I have been working so hard for since I was young has come down to this fit test, so Josh is truly amazing because he is helping me make my dream come true. I can’t thank Josh enough for everything!
