Fight Forward Kickboxing

Fight Forward is the best gym I've ever had and will have. My whole life I hated gyms and loathed working out around strangers in toxic or just uncomfortable or weird environments. Fight Forward is everything I want from an ideal gym: GENUINELY nonjudgmental, encouraging, understanding, and accepting. No matter who you are and what your skill level is like, Tateym will make you feel right at home in no time. She gives all of us the personal and intimate experience of having a personal trainer. Boxing was a skill I had been curious about for years, but actually joining a gym? Not a snowball's chance in hell. Then, in 2020, a friend got me to come with him for a free workout and I begrudgingly accepted. Here I am, two years later, still a member, still going, progressing, and loving it.

The workouts can be tough but you're free to adjust as needed, no pressure. And they're quick - this is so huge - I don't have to stress about routines, different muscle groups, specific exercises, times of day to escape the crowds, nothing - I just go, and Tateym's got it all figured out for us. I've learned so many new things I couldn't possibly count them all. The stations are ever - rotating and provide a unique workout experience I've never had but always wanted. Worrying about needing too much info, equipment, knowledge, or skill to get started? F/F will erase all anxiety and doubts you may have.

Onto Tateym. She is the owner, trainer, and all - around badass who keeps us motivated when we need it the most. You're not just getting a gym, you're getting a personal trainer, a teacher, and a friend too. However much help you need, she's there every step of the way. I'm hard on myself. I'm a slow learner and can regress. I don't always feel like working out when I know I should. I'm human. She knows and understands this not just about me but about all people. I thought it was impossible for someone to be as kickass as her and still be so humble and inviting, but she's real.

Since I joined Fight Forward, I've lost a ton of weight - and gained muscle, confidence, skills, and friends. F/F entirely rekindled my love for physical fitness. I cannot recommend it enough, to anyone and everyone, who is human and could benefit immensely from this experience. I don't dread working out anymore. Finally, like I always envisioned, I just go.

Thank you Fight Forward, and thank you Tateym, for being everything I knew I needed but thought didn't exist.

Great community to get back into shape boxing. The owner is knowledgeable, attentive and very helpful. Highly recommend!
