Most people who walk into their first Thornbury kickboxing class have never thrown a punch. That’s exactly who the classes are designed for. The coach shows every combination step by step, you work at your own pace, and you can rest whenever you need. Fitter members simply hit harder and faster, so beginners and regulars share the same session happily.
Who it suits
- Thornbury locals who want a workout close to home.
- Parents whose kids train in our martial arts classes at the same time.
- Runners, cyclists and team-sport players looking for upper-body strength and power.
- Anyone who finds the gym boring and wants to learn a skill while getting fit.
A typical session
We start with skipping, footwork and a dynamic warm-up. Then come rounds on focus mitts and heavy bags: jabs, crosses, hooks and uppercuts, knees, front kicks and roundhouse kicks, mixed into combinations. Between rounds there’s core and bodyweight work, and we finish with a stretch. You’ll leave sweaty, a bit tired and in a much better mood.

I do the adults class too, and we also both do the Kickboxing. As an older woman this is exactly the kind of exercise I need to keep my bones and my muscles strong.

Been doing Fitness Kickboxing here for about 3 years. Cannot recommend GMA enough! The classes are always varied and fun, and the instructors are amazing and always put their own spin on classes, so you are learning something new with every class.
