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.

What a Class Looks Like
- Warm-up: mobility and light cardio to get you moving.
- Boxing and kicking rounds: boxing rounds for the upper body, kicking rounds for the legs and hips, for a full-body workout.
- Conditioning: HIIT-style intervals for strength, core and endurance.
- Cool-down: stretching to finish feeling good.
Why Choose Our Group Fitness Classes
- Non-contact: get fit without getting hit. You only ever strike pads and bags.
- All fitness levels: you don’t have to be fit or coordinated to start. Work at your own pace and improve as you go.
- A full-body workout: cardio, strength and core in one session, which can burn hundreds of calories depending on how hard you work.
- Stress relief: few things clear your head like a few rounds on the bag.
- Friendly and social: a supportive group where instructors know your name and your goals.
- Train with your kids: many parents do a class while their children train in our kids martial arts classes.
The Kickboxing exercise classes are awesome. Great instructors. Pounding away on the high-quality punch/kick bags pushes my cardio fitness, tones my aging body, allows me to deal with the stresses of the day.
