Good to know

How much do kickboxing classes cost per month?

Unlimited monthly memberships generally range from $100 to $200 per month depending on the region and facility amenities. Individual drop-in sessions typically cost $20 to $35, while introductory offers often run $30 to $50 for three trial classes and a pair of starter gloves.

What should I wear and bring to my first kickboxing class?

Wear fitted athletic shorts or leggings and a breathable t-shirt, as loose clothing can catch during kicks. Bring a water bottle, a small sweat towel, and athletic socks or train barefoot depending on mat rules; gyms usually lend gloves for your initial trial.

How long is a typical kickboxing workout session?

Standard classes run 45 to 60 minutes long. A typical session consists of a 10-minute warm-up, 35 to 40 minutes of bag combinations and pad work, and 5 to 10 minutes of core conditioning and stretching.
