I'm interested in coming in for a class. What do I need to do?Your first class is always complimentary at Iron Lotus Gym, however, we recommend that you schedule a free starter class or consultation with one of our trainers before your first class so that you feel comfortable with the techniques.
-
Will I need gloves?For sanitary and safety reasons, gloves are required for heavy bag use. Heavy bags are used in our kickboxing and boxing classes. We have gently used gloves available for people to use for their first class, but eventually you will need your own pair. We sell a variety of boxing and MMA gloves in our Pro Shop and in our online store.
-
Will I need any additional equipment?For our Warrior Workout and yoga classes, we provide all the equipment you need: All strength equipment: weights, kettlebells, medicine balls, etc. Mats, straps, blocks, bolsters and blankets for yoga Just bring yourself! You may also bring your own equipment if you desire. Kickboxing requires gloves if you use the heavy bag. Mixed Martial Arts requires safety equipment, escrima sticks and uniform.

What's the difference between MMA gloves and boxing gloves? Which should I use?MMA gloves are fingerless gloves with padding across the back of the hand and knuckles. Thickness of the padding depends on the style of the glove, and they come in typical "small, medium, etc" sizes. The benefit to these is a cooler, lighter fit. Boxing gloves are full coverage gloves with molded padding across the knuckles, and they're sized by weight. The benefit to these is that they provide more protection and a greater upper body workout due to the weight of the glove. Both are fine for the classes we offer. It depends on your preference. Some prefer the extra dexterity of MMA gloves, some like the extra padding of boxing gloves.
-
May I bring my friend(s)?Absolutely! The more the merrier. Bringing friends is an excellent way to ease out of your comfort zone and have fun exercising, and a great way to stay accountable. Pick up complimentary class passes for your friends and receive a gift of gratitude when your friend enrolls at Iron Lotus Gym.
