This Isn't Your Typical Combat Gym.
You don't need to be athletic, aggressive, or "the fighting type" to belong here. This isn't a regular gym where you just work out. You're learning a real skill, heavy bag only, with a coach beside you every round.
Boxing and kickboxing improve coordination, strength, and cardiovascular health, an excellent form of exercise, and a real outlet after a long day.

Your Coach
The Person Running This Program
Every coach on our floor is trained specifically to meet you exactly where you are, whether that's your first class or your hundredth, not to demonstrate from the front and leave you to figure out the rest.
When you come in for your free class, you're training under a coach who's trained for exactly this. [A named coach bio for St. Petersburg hasn't been confirmed yet. This section stays general rather than a placeholder name until that's provided.]
Our Classes
Heavy Bag Only. Real Technique, Every Round.
Every class is 45 minutes, fully coached, and built around the heavy bag, no partner pairing, ever.
๐ฅ
Boxing
Real striking technique on the heavy bag, paired with strength and conditioning work in the same class. This is where every member starts. No experience needed.
For members who've built a real base and want to go further. This is the one class that leaves the heavy bag: structured defensive drills and partner work with a coach supervising.
What Makes 1MR Different From Other Boxing and Kickboxing Gyms?
We're non-judgmental and non-intimidating, without dumbing anything down. Focused on proper, authentic striking technique, not just another dance cardio fit-box.
Fully instructed 45-minute, action-packed classes. You're never just sent to the next station. Personal attention and feedback for all walks of life, every class.
This isn't a place to be seen. Non-judgmental, inclusive, motivating community, not your typical see-and-be-seen scene.
All of our primary classes are heavy bag only: no pads, no partners, no exceptions. Just you and the bag.

Love this place! All the instructors are martial artists and they do a great job at creating different changing combos. You start off with a 15 minutes warm up and strength exercises and then do three rounds of combos and all outs. 45 minutes of a HIIT workout that pumps you up and gets you going! Worth every penny. Makes you feel strong and fit!

Recently graduating from a decade of medical training, I realized I lost my own physical health and ability to feel strong along the way. โฆ Although I have never boxed or kickboxed in my life, I was hopeful this would be a place to kickstart my own strength again. โฆ The coaches are all incredibly friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is top notch.

I had never punched anything before, so I was nervous coming in here. Everyone here, though, from the coaches to the other members, are friendly and supportive. The coaches help keep you motivated without talking down to you. I started with the free class, then 1x/week, and now twice a week. I feel great during and after each class. And the classes are challenging, so I feel like I'm getting stronger each time.
