This Is Not Your Average Workout

KickHouse is a modern kickboxing studio built around real technique, coached classes, and a community that shows up for each other. Every class is 60 minutes of coached combinations on the heavy bag, cardio and functional movement wrapped into something you'll actually want to do again. Whether you're brand new to the bags or looking to sharpen your technique, there's a class that meets you where you are. Find your pace, build real skill, and train as much as you want.

Your First KickHouse Class, Step by Step

You arrive 15-20 minutes early. This gives you time to settle in, meet the team, and let your nervous system calm down before the music starts.

Find Your Studio

Arrive Early

Your coach will greet you by name and ask what brought you in. They'll explain what's coming and answer any last-minute questions. You're not a number here.

Meet Your Coach

Hand wraps protect your wrists and knuckles. Your coach or a teammate will show you how, or we'll do it for you. It takes two minutes and feels like suiting up for battle.

Get Your Hands Wrapped

The class starts with dynamic stretching and light cardio to get your blood moving. Nothing complicated, nothing you haven't done before. Just movement that wakes up your body.

Warm Up

Your coach breaks down basic punches and kicks in slow motion. Jabs, crosses, hooks, front kicks, roundhouses. You'll practice each one until it feels natural, then string them into combinations.

The Class

60 minutes of coached kickboxing on the heavy bag. Your coach calls every combination — jabs, crosses, hooks, kicks — and you execute. Every round is structured. Every minute is intentional. This is where the work happens.

Cool Down

The last few minutes bring your heart rate down and stretch out what you just worked. You will leave feeling accomplished, not wrecked.

What to Bring to Your First Class

Keep it simple. Here is everything you need.

Breathable Athletic Wear

Anything you can move freely in works. Moisture wicking fabric is ideal. Shorts, leggings, a tank — your call.

Socks or Bare Feet

Leave the shoes at the door — only socks or bare feet are allowed on the mat.

Water and a Towel

Bring a water bottle and a towel. You are going to need both.

Note:

Hand wraps are available at the studio. Gloves are provided. You do not need to buy anything before your first class.

This Is KickHouse

Real members. Real classes. Real results.

"I walked in terrified I'd be the only beginner in the room. My coach met me at the door, wrapped my hands like she'd known me for years, and by the end of class I'd thrown more punches than I thought possible. Now I'm back three times a week because I actually want to be there."

Questions About Your First KickHouse Class

Everything you need to know before you walk in

Do I need kickboxing experience to take a KickHouse class?

No experience needed at all. KickHouse coaches start every new member from zero and walk you through the basics during your first class. Stance, footwork, punches, kicks — you learn as you go. If you can show up, we take care of the rest.

What happens at my very first KickHouse class?

You arrive 15 to 20 minutes early, get a studio tour, meet your coach, and get your hands wrapped. From there it is a warm up, 60 minutes of coached kickboxing combinations on the heavy bag, and a cool down. Your coach guides the whole class so you never have to figure anything out on your own.

Is there contact or sparring at KickHouse?

No. KickHouse is non contact fitness. Every class is done on a heavy bag. No partner drills, no sparring, no person to person contact. You control your pace and your intensity the entire time.

How long is a KickHouse class?

Classes are 60 minutes. That includes the warm up, the full class, and the cool down. In and out, and you will feel every minute of it.

How many calories do you burn in a KickHouse class?

Most members burn between 400 and 600 calories per 60 minute session depending on effort and intensity. The harder you push, the more you get out of it.

What do I need to bring to my first KickHouse class?

Athletic clothes, a water bottle, and a towel. Hand wraps are available at the studio and gloves are provided. You do not need to purchase anything before your first class.

Is KickHouse good for beginners?

Yes. KickHouse is designed for all fitness levels and all experience levels. Your coach scales the class to meet you where you are. Most of the members in any given class started exactly where you are now.
