For years, the hands-down best – and only – cardio kickboxing classes in Reno were found at Freestyle Fitness. These days, cardio kickboxing is on the schedule at gyms all over town, and there are franchises popping up regularly. We’re happy to see that more and more people are learning about the therapeutic rush you get from hitting a heavy bag, but be clear – not all kickboxing classes in Reno are created equal, and your body needs a break from the gloves and bags sometimes. That’s why Freestyle is still Reno’s best place for kickboxing. From our heavy bag class Throwdown to our tried-and-true cardio kickboxing, we have cross-training in the bag.

We talk up the virtues of resistance training all the time – and we walk the walk with classes like Fighter Physique and Total Body – but high-impact classes can be hard on your joints. The same is true for a heavy bag class, and that’s the Achille’s heel of some of those franchise joints in town. When your workout is always the same – some variation of punches, knees and kicks thrown at hard objects – your body is going to feel it, and not in a good way.

Cardio is good for your heart and lungs, and you don’t need to log a zillion boring miles on the treadmill, or jostle your knees and hips on unforgiving concrete, to make it effective. An hour of cardio at Freestyle and boom – you’re sweaty and drained in the best way. And good news: a thirty-minute express class is in the works now. It’s going to be awesome, so stay tuned for details.

Between our resistance and cardio classes, we have 26 opportunities for you to get your workout on. High impact, low impact, intervals, you name it, our classes are designed to offer you cross-training opportunities all in one place. Our prices are competitive and a steal for what you get. Check out the reviews on our Facebook page, and come try a class or two on us. Whatever you do, be clear that checking off the same workout day in and day out is a surefire path to a fitness plateau and, worse, injury.
