FAQs

What are my options for getting started?

Most people get started by booking Kickboxing Foundations, our beginner-friendly intro session where you’ll learn the basics and get comfortable before joining regular classes.

If you’d prefer to check things out first, you have a couple other options. You can try a free Community Class to experience the KUMA vibe, or schedule a Free Consult to meet a coach, see the space, and ask questions.

Whichever option you choose, we’ll help you feel comfortable getting started.

What is Kickboxing Foundations?

Kickboxing Foundations is a 90-minute small-group session where you’ll learn the basics of our kickboxing program, understand how classes work, and get comfortable with our format and coaching style. It’s designed to help you feel confident and prepared before joining regular classes.

Can I visit the studio before signing up?

Yes. You can schedule a Free Consult to meet with a coach, take a quick tour of the space, and ask any questions you have before getting started.

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.

Am I too young/old for this workout?

Never—we have members from 18-80. Classes are designed for adults, and coaches offer options so you can move at a pace that feels right for you.

Do you allow drop-ins?

To create a supportive and consistent experience for everyone, we don’t offer drop-in classes. All new members start with one of our intro options so they can feel confident and prepared.

How is your studio different than others?

KUMA is more than just a class—it’s a movement community. We’re a group of coaches and members who believe movement should feel supportive, accessible, and empowering. Our classes are coach-led and intentionally designed to meet people where they are, with options, encouragement, and respect for different bodies and experiences. We focus on creating a space where you can move consistently, build strength and confidence, and feel like you belong. Our approach is flexible, human, and rooted in care—so you can find a way of moving that actually fits your life.

How much are your memberships?

At KUMA, we know that your budget matters, but the value of a supportive and empowering community goes beyond dollars. Our women’s-only, mission-driven gym provides a welcoming space where you can build strength, confidence, and lasting connections. With monthly memberships starting at just $119, we make it easy to invest in yourself and your journey.

What happens after I finish my Foundations session?

After you complete Foundations, 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.

I already have experience—do I still need Foundations?

Yes. Foundations helps everyone get familiar with how we do things at KUMA, including our class format, terminology, and flow. Even experienced movers find it helpful for getting oriented and feeling confident from day one.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've loved my experience at Kuma! From the first class, everyone from the coaches to the members have been so kind and welcoming. I was starting my fitness journey from basically nothing and have never felt judged or shamed for taking things at my own pace. I love their commitment to body neutrality, where the focus of the workouts is getting stronger rather than how your body looks. I've always found regular gyms a little intimidating and wasn't good at putting together my own workouts, so the class format with coaches has been really helpful. The community of women is something unique and amazing about this gym. You'll always feel supported, and you'll notice yourself feeling stronger with every class you take!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very apprehensive about starting a group fitness program, but I took a chance and started with the Foundations program.  I am so glad I did!  This community is so friendly and welcoming! I look forward to each class knowing that I am going to leave feeling stronger and empowered. I encourage anyone who might feel nervous about starting to take a chance and give it a try! It is one of the best decisions I have made this year!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KUMA is a fantastic space! I signed up for a membership before I even completed my Foundations course because I love the community vibe so much. Everyone (the owner, coaches, and other members) is incredibly welcoming. You are there for yourself and encouraged to go at your own pace and modify as needed. I come out drenched in sweat, but smiling. Try it, you won’t be disappointed!
