Five ways to train

Pick one or mix a few. Your coach builds every session around what you want out of it.

Alone, with a partner, or in a small group

No crowded classes and no guessing. Every session is booked ahead, so your coach is ready for you when you walk in.

One-on-one

Your coach, your goals, your pace. The fastest way to learn and the best way to start.

Partner

Bring a spouse, friend or training partner. Share the coach, push each other and always have someone to drill with.

Small group

A few people, one coach and real attention on everyone. More energy, same personal coaching.

How it works

Three rounds from first visit to training with purpose.

  1. Round 1

    Book your free intro

    45 minutes at our Gilbert location. We talk about your goals, see how you move and put gloves on your hands.

  2. Round 2

    Learn the fundamentals

    Stance, guard, footwork and your first combinations. The basics, done right, so everything after is built on solid ground.

  3. Round 3

    Train with purpose

    Fitness, self-defense, confidence or competition. Your coach plans each session around where you want to go next.

Meet the coaches

In your corner

Most people who train with us will never step into a ring. Some do. Either way, you get the same coach: the one who wraps your hands, tells you the truth and is the first one there when the bell rings.

What happens at the free intro?

It's 45 minutes: a conversation about your goals, a quick look at how you move, and a guided training session so you know exactly what working with us feels like. See what to expect.

Which location should I book?

New clients train at our Gilbert location. Our Surprise sessions, inside Knockout Fitness, are for current clients and Knockout Fitness members.
