The 3 Pillars of KUMA

We are not your typical gym experience. We are mission strong and you will see this from the programs we offer to the language we use in the studio. If this list resonates with you, welcome home. Join us and be part of a community that empowers, uplifts, and celebrates every woman.

Everything we do is built around three simple ideas:

Safe & Comfortable

The gym can feel intimidating, and many of us carry past experiences that made movement spaces uncomfortable. At KUMA, we intentionally create a community where everyone feels welcome, respected, and comfortable from their very first visit.

Positive & Supportive

There’s enough negativity in the world, so when we step into the gym, we leave that at the door. KUMA is a place where women encourage each other, celebrate effort, and leave feeling lighter and stronger than when they arrived.

Body-Neutral

At KUMA, we intentionally leave ALL body talk out of our space. Instead of focusing on appearance, we focus on movement, strength, and how you feel in your body.

Does this sound like your kind of gym?

      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kuma is the most friendly and welcoming workout experience I’ve ever had! I continue to go to classes because I truly enjoy the community of women there and the supportive environment. The workouts are fun and engaging. The coaches are super helpful and supportive. They are always willing to help you modify something so it is better for your workout and your body. I’ve been to over 25 classes and I never regret going! Thank you Kuma!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KUMA kickboxing is a wonderful experience. The coaches are kind and supportive. Even goes at their own pace and level. The variety of session formats is surprising. I have I have been to 9-10 different classes now and enjoyed three different workout formats. And that doesn’t even include strength (which is going to be added soon to my routine). I love going to kickboxing!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These woman go above and beyond to ensure your comfort during sessions. A wonderful community to be apart and very reassuring my first time going. I had a lot of anxiety about looking silly or just doing things wrong but the coaches are so helpful and other members too! Even with a full class of women Renee still took time to teach me a proper side kick and how to do the box footwork warm up!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently joined Kuma and have had such a positive experience. After a more sedentary year than is normal for me, I really needed a place where I could get moving again without feeling like I had to go from zero to sixty overnight and Kuma has been exactly that.

The atmosphere is genuinely welcoming, the members annd staff are all kind and encouraging, and there’s a lot of grace built into the classes. What I especially appreciate is that you can really tailor the workout to where you are on any given day. You can push yourself hard when you’re feeling strong, or take it a little easier when your body needs that, while still showing up, moving, and getting a good workout.

I was nervous walking into my first class, but that disappeared almost immediately. The atmosphere is so welcoming and unpretentious that I quickly realized there had been absolutely nothing to be nervous about. It’s a supportive, judgment-free environment where people at different fitness levels can work alongside each other and make the class their own. I’m really glad I joined.

I wish I found these ladies so much sooner! This is not just a kickboxing group, it's a family of strong women supporting women. If you are thinking about joining a kickboxing group please look no further. This family of women is the home you've been looking for!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KUMA is such a positive and uplifting environment. The staff and coaches are wonderful. The schedule allows for a lot of flexibility, offering both morning and evening classes on most days. I appreciate that the basic skills are the same but that the combinations shift often so there’s more of a variety. (No two classes are ever the same.) I also love that there are community events for members, such as book clubs, clothing swaps and potlucks. It’s a great community, and rather than seeing the membership as an “expense”, I view it as an investment in myself.
