KickHouse

False-advertising: bait-and-switch! Rude employee. The advertisement that lured me in made it seem like the first appointment was free, when in reality it was not a trial class or some other form of introduction to the practice, but instead it was an interrogation disguised as a “consultation”. The consultant who spoke with me was condescending and judgmental. I felt personally violated and disrespected after I was vulnerable about my fitness level and financial situation during the first meeting. I am an avid runner, in good shape already and I’m a recent college graduate with a great job. If she could make me feel insecure, I know others who experience this type of a high pressure sales pitch could be coerced into doing something that is neither financially smart nor healthy for them. When I explained that I couldn’t afford the $400 “accountability deposit” or the outrageous $169 for a monthly subscription, I was told that I should stop “eating out” to afford the membership. The consultant was pushy, and relentlessly badgered me, making me feel like I was (physically) trapped in a room where she was between me and the door. My personal life and my body were insulted, and I will not be going back. DO NOT waste your time or money on this business.

I have always felt out of place in a gym space, but this place has become home.The people (coaches and other members) are super encouraging and supportive. I am surprised how comfortable I feel attending group classes without judgement, and I've also built a close group of support who expect me to attend class... and they check in regularly. I've had days where a coach (Brittany) encouraged me to take extra time after class to punch a bag, because she could see I needed the outlet. Side note, take Brittany's ab class. You'll hate it, but you won't regret it! Jokes, I live for that class on Wednesdays.The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and detail oriented. I'm surprised how they juggle a full room of various skill levels and manage to keep everyone at their peak performance. Take technique class, it's a MUST. That coach (Casey) recognizes everyone's individual skill level and monitors our progression, so she knows when and how to push us to our maximum potential. She can tweak even basic moves on experienced boxers, but also knows how to build from scratch and prioritize details with someone brand new. I learn something new EVERY week in that class!I also highly recommend the 6-week challenges for anyone who needs the extra push of motivation. I got paired with Brittany for my first challenge, and she was the reason I committed to continuing my journey afterwards. Kickhouse has been great for my physical health, but the nutritional aspects of the challenge changed the way I think about food and did wonders for my mental health. I'm very grateful to Kickhouse. I've never been so focused on my own health, and I feel better now in my mind (to late) 30s than I ever did in my 20s or even my teenage years.

KickHouse parker is my favorite happy place!!!! The coaches push you to do your best which is more than you thought you could!! The members are so encouraging and happy and helpful. Punch bags not people!!!! Come join us for a class come back because you love it here!!!!

This is the most fun place on the planet. You can get an amazing workout, make the best friends and have the sweetest coaches who also push you to do your best. If you haven't tried KickHouse, reach out and give it a try. You will NOT regret it!! This is my happy place. Life is so much better with KickHouse.

I Absolutely love this place!If you are looking for a fun place to workout with encouraging instructors where you feel like a family member, this is definitely the place for you! KickHouse Parker rocks!!!!

Update from my last review: Still loving this place!! I've been taking classes for a year and a half and continue to feel at home. I'm still learning new things and meeting new fitness goals. The instructors have been amazing at helping me evolve myself and how to tailor my workouts to fit my new levels. They keep it fun and interesting (and their playlists are killer!). I cannot see myself ever going to another gym.

I came into Kickhouse without any experience. The coaches are very patient and help your technique and form. They never make you feel unworthy. I love the atmosphere and everyone is so nice! I’ve made a number of friends here that I’ll have forever. Highly highly recommend!!

The atmosphere is amazing! The coaches are inspirational and motivating. I have found a workout and lifestyle change that is sustainable. This has become the new me! I love every moment with my Kick House Family!

I have been blown away by the guidance from all the coaches during my 1st full week. Meg has provided us with countless resources to improve our nutrition during a 6 week challenge. Casey always motivates participants and her technique classes are incredibly beneficial. Jen helped teach me how to wrap my hands properly when she saw I was struggling. Julie's Fun Friday class was a blast even for a newbie like me. Last but not least, Coach Chris is absolutely wonderful. He was so patient and helpful teaching me and others the correct combinations in class. He encouraged me and offered modifications when needed.If you are interested in a fun environment and ready to improve your health, I highly recommend Kickhouse Parker. All levels are welcome here, even over 50 out of shape people like me.

This place has been such a blessing for me. I wanted to find a place to workout and lose my baby weight, but I got so much more. The positive community that I’ve gained from this place is second to none. I am feeling infinitely more confident with my body and actually enjoy the workouts! I go to the 5:15am class (a must with my work commute) and somehow look forward to getting up that early to work out with my people. If you are needing more than a gym, a workout community, then what are you waiting for? I highly recommend you come check them out and tell them I sent you ;)
