You do need gloves for class but my friend brought some for me, otherwise you will need to buy them from the studio. I was told that it's best practice to keep a punching bag inbetween you and the next person if possible. The instructor came over to introduce herself and came to asses my kickboxing knowledge. I had done some sessions in the past, so I was able to keep up easily with the constantly changing combos. It may be daunting for newcomers but just punching and kicking the bags is a phenomenal workout whether or not you get it right. The instructor was really motivating and supportive. I really enjoyed my experience and would love to go back soon!

Great full body workout. I don't go very often and feel like a complete noob each time, but the…read moreinstructors here are super friendly and non-judgmental. I tend to forget long series of instructions, and they'll walk over and review them with me if I'm lost. The equipment is affordable and there are plenty of class times. Would love to get a TITLE location downtown, but it's worth the drive to Kentwood too!

Everyone is rad and chill. All the coaches are top notch and give personal tips and instruction on a regular basis. They take the extra time to help my progress. The brand new gym is huge and has everything a person could possibly want/need. The culture is definitely a bit more on the aggressive and end, but this IS a combat sport/martial art. The owner is tough, but he pushes me to be better. He doesn't tell me what I want to hear, but he speaks what needs to be said. He is honest with me regarding where I am and where I need to go in my training. If you are willing to learn, grow, and be stretched...this is the place for you! The first class is free.

I had never tried boxing and fell in love during my first week. Now I attend private trainings where I have completely transformed my skill. The trainers are so encouraging and ready to help.

No matter what you're working on-- cardio,…read morearms, legs, core, endurance-- you'll get pushed hard to get better and you'll see the improvement. The trainers know what they're doing and can help no matter your level, and the heavy bags are perfect for letting out some kinetic frustration. You can always go at your speed and you learn how to push yourself a little more each time. The owner is amazing, too. I had a huge injury at one point, and she worked with me on my membership so I could jump right back in once I was done rehabbing it. I strongly recommend getting wraps for your wrists and hands, since it makes a world of difference. If you don't know how, come to class early and they'll help you out.

Trained here for a bit in private sessions with rob. He referred to his students as "clients" which…read morekind of put me off. You aren't getting anywhere near the level of training you should for how much you pay. Mostly just pad work and his technique teaching was just alright. Rob also claimed to have actual combat experience but being involved for several years i could easily sniff out that the guy didn't have that many fights under him. Seemed pretty cocky with little to back it up. I couldn't find a tapalogy page or anything of him online so that should of been my sign to run for the hills. He also doesn't really try to connect with his students or make an effort to get to know them, kind of just robotic teaching which makes it much less enjoyable. Look, if your trying to just get a good workout in, this might be okay for you. But with his highly priced hourly rates your better off finding a recreational gym and just hitting a punching bag. If you want to learn actual boxing or MMA look in the complete opposite direction. You will not learn how to actually defend yourself here, you will just get yourself hurt. This is a cardio kickboxing gym so if that's what your looking for it's decent, otherwise, go somewhere else.

Finally, most helpful to me -all levels of ability are welcome.

I cannot recommend these particular branches (Grandville and Grand Rapids) enough.
