What to Expect in Fitness Kickboxing Class
You’ll start the class with a warm up and stretches led by one of our coaches. From there, we will move onto shadow boxing and/or drills. Then, our instructors will teach you combinations step-by-step practice with a partner or on the bags. At the end of the class, we finish off with a cool down or sit ups followed by stretches.
