Get started with confidence!

Starting something new can be intimidating. We’ve designed an enrollment process that will make sure you feel comfortable and excited on your first day.

Joining a gym has never felt more comfortable

Your Foundations Course is 4 classes over a period of two weeks. These sessions are exclusive to new members which makes it less intimidating than walking into a class full of veteran members.

These progressive classes will:

  • Teach you everything from the basics to more advanced concepts of movement.
  • Give you more time to practice and ask questions.
  • Utilize the same class format as regular classes to keep your experience consistent.
  • Help you develop consistency and increase your endurance so you’re ready for regular classes.
  • Give you a chance to meet other new members and find friends and accountability partners.

First Timer FAQs

How much are your memberships?

When looking for a new gym you want to make sure it’s a good fit. What are some key factors to consider:

  • Mission and alignment with your values
  • Community (are these your people?)
  • The vibe (does it feel good to be in the space?)
  • The movement (do you like the movement?)
  • Schedule (does it fit with your schedule?)
  • Cost (does it fit in your budget?)

Making sure a membership fits within your budget is important but make sure you are considering the other factors as well. Schedule a free consult with one of our coaches to review the options.

What happens after I finish my intro session?

After you complete one of our intro session options, you’ll be ready to join our community! All members have a monthly plan which you can choose at any point during your intro course.

What if I can’t make it to all of the Kickboxing Foundations classes?

We ask that you are able to commit to at least half of the classes. If you’re unable to make it to one of your Foundations classes, we will offer you a complimentary credit in a regular class.

Do you allow drop-ins?

Our mission is to create a positive and comfortable experience for new women which is why we have designed the required enrollment options listed above. We don’t offer drop-in classes.

Am I too young/old for this workout?

Never—we have members from 18-80. Our coaches will provide moderations to every workout! This is a great program that parents and children can do together. Families that train together, stick together.

Do I need previous experience?

No. In fact, we love working with new members. Our coaches will guide you every step of the way to ensure you are doing the techniques properly.

Do I need to be in shape?

Definitely NOT. Most of our new members are either starting or getting back into the journey of fitness. Our coaches will work with you to build an effective and manageable plan. 

Where do I start? How do I become a member?

Our mission is to make everyones experience positive and comfortable. We’ve designed a special enrollment process to help everyone get started with confidence. Your first step is to complete one of our Introductory Sessions. To learn more, visit your closest location and view how to get started.

I am absolutely loving my kickboxing classes at KUMA!! It’s a great workout without feeling like a workout! I am feeling stronger and more empowered with each class….and it’s a lot of fun! Everyone at KUMA is supportive and kind, and they made me feel comfortable from the start!

I’ve only been to two beginner classes so far but I was surprised how much I am enjoying myself while getting a great workout. The atmosphere and “vibe” is warm, friendly and low barrier. Very welcoming. Had lots of laughs and made friends the first night. I can’t wait for the next session!

I could not recommend KUMA any more. The environment is warm and welcoming and the workout is whatever you want to put into it without judgement. It doesn’t matter what your fitness level is, this place is for people who want to have fun while staying or getting healthy.

You feel it as soon as you walk in the door: this is a place of support, true non judgement, community and empowerment. A lot of places can say/try to sell you a lot of things (and I've tried more than a few of them), but KUMA is the genuine article. The coaches are phenomenal; they're supportive and 100% mentally and emotionally present before, during and after class if you've got something on your mind or have questions about a combo or technique. The classes are the stuff workout dreams are made of; the combos change, new techniques are introduced with careful & mindful instruction, and the music? SOLID JAMS. The people working out alongside you? They're super friendly, welcoming and offer both emotionally intelligent and practical advice for newbies. I'd been hunting and hoping to find a place like this, and it's worth every penny. Even if you've had the love of movement kicked or beaten out of you --- give KUMA a chance to help you rediscover it. It's quite literally the dojo of my dreams. <3 <3 <3
