About our class options

Kickboxing
Kickboxing is our thing! We mix kickboxing techniques with other fitness exercises to give you a complete high intensity workout on free-standing bags. It’s an amazing way to clear your mind, de-stress, and get strong! You’ll always leave feeling like a rockstar!

Box LIFT
This strength training class is a perfect complement to your kickboxing routine. Each 45-minute class features a circuit-style workout of bag work and free weights. All levels are welcome—our coaches will show you the moves, proper form, and modifications when needed.

Box BEAT
Box to the BEAT with Coach Mackenzie! During this class, you’ll keep the rhythm with the group and create your own beats to the music. We’ll keep the music up, party lights on, and the lights down low. This class is open to all members and beginners are welcome.

Pound Rockout Workout
Tap into your inner rockstar! Join Coach Camille (a registered Pound Pro!) for a super dynamic and fun workout! You will be using RipStix (drum sticks) with pilates and yoga-type movements, leaving you feeling sculpted and pumped! This class serves all levels.

KTRAX
Our KTX program allows you to train in the same great classes you love, with a focus on skill progression. You will enter into our certified ranking system based on attendance, fitness, and overall skill progression.

Silver Gloves (55+)
Kickboxing is not just for the younger generation—it’s a powerful tool for enhancing strength, endurance, and overall well-being at any age. Our experienced instructors will guide you through tailored movements and exercises that are appropriate for your age group, ensuring a comfortable and empowering experience for everyone.

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’s the difference between the Kickboxing Foundations Course and the Intensive 90-Minute Course?

Both courses are exclusive to new members so you can get started in a comfortable environment. If possible, we recommend the full Foundations Course to get the full experience especially if you like to learn at a slower pace. The Intensive course is good if you need a different option for your schedule and you’re comfortable learning a lot of information in one larger block of time. 

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’ve done kickboxing before?

If you’ve done kickboxing before and you are familiar and comfortable performing basic kickboxing and exercise movements, you have the option to start with our KUMA Orientation.

Previous experience means that you are comfortable with the following: jab, cross, hook, uppercut, front kick, roundhouse, and squats. The Foundations Course is still a great option especially if you love learning more about technique or if you’re nervous to start at a new studio.

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.

I have some previous experience—can I skip the Foundations Course?

All new members at KUMA are required to enroll with an introduction session. If you have previous experience, you can start with our KUMA Orientation. Your previous experience should mean that you are comfortable with the following: jab, cross, hook, uppercut, front kick, roundhouse, and squats.

The Foundations Course is still a great option especially if you love learning more about technique or if you’re nervous to start at a new studio.

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.

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
