At Surge Kickboxing, we specialize in helping beginners find their power. Here are five things you can expect from your very first class.
This is the biggest fear that stops people from walking through our doors. They think, "I need to get in shape before I go to a kickboxing class."
Let's bust that myth right now.

Everyone in that room was a beginner once. Whether you haven't worked out in years or you're a seasoned athlete, you'll get an incredible workout that's right for you.
When you hear "kickboxing," you might picture a ring, intense fighters, and a gritty, intimidating vibe. That’s not us.
When you walk into Surge Kickboxing, you’ll find a supportive community of people just like you. We are a group fitness family. People will cheer you on, give you a high-five, and make you feel welcome.

Treadmills are boring. Lifting weights can be repetitive. A kickboxing class is the ultimate full-body workout, and you'll never be bored.
Upper Body: Every punch you throw—jabs, crosses, hooks, uppercuts—engages your arms, shoulders, chest, and back.
Lower Body: Your kicks—front kicks, roundhouses, sidekicks—are a phenomenal workout for your glutes, quads, and hamstrings.
Core: This is the secret weapon. Every single movement in kickboxing requires you to engage your core for balance and power. It's the best core workout you'll ever do without doing a single crunch.
This is HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) at its most fun, which is proven to be the most effective way to burn calories and improve cardiovascular health.
This isn't a "cardio kickboxing" class where you just punch the air. You'll be working on a real heavy bag. Our coaches will teach you proper form and real, effective kickboxing technique.
There is nothing—nothing—more empowering.
Feeling the "pop" of the bag as your technique improves is an incredible confidence boost. It's the ultimate form of stress relief. Had a bad day at work? Take it out on the bag. You will leave your first class feeling lighter, stronger, and more confident than when you walked in.
This is our most important promise. The music will be upbeat, the energy will be high, and the class will fly by. You’ll be so focused on learning the combinations and challenging yourself that you'll forget you're even "working out."
That’s the secret. That's the "hook." The best workout is the one you stick with, and you'll stick with this one because it's fun.
