Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend all Fox Den classes. We are happy to modify any class to suit people of any fitness level, age*, experience, size, shape, and mobility. Our main goal is that you should always feel welcome at our gym!

We have developed extensive “day 1” classes for our BJJ and Kickboxing programs to make sure you get the best possible introduction to engaging fundamental topics. We take pride in our welcoming and supportive atmosphere - everyone else in the class was also a beginner at some point and everyone remembers how intimidating the first day at a new gym can feel. Please feel free to ask questions, and don’t worry about making mistakes. All you need to do is show-up, relax, and enjoy your workout!

*students must be 14 or older

Classes start with an overview of the workout including the class content, purpose, and methodology. Coaches will help you record relevant info in your training log to help you get the most from your training in the long term.

Next coaches will lead a RAMP warmup (a special warmup proven to prevent injury and facilitate enhanced performance). Don’t worry, these are actually really easy and our coaches love answering any questions you might have!

After the workout coaches will lead a debrief and help record training log info on what you did in the workout. There will also be optional mobility exercises and stretching.

Our goal is that you leave our workouts feeling refreshed and ready for the next part of your day. You may feel a bit tired, but exhaustion is not helpful or sustainable – we want to help you get the best results over the long term. Work smart, not hard, and stay healthy!

We have a relaxed atmosphere at our BJJ and kickboxing classes. We don’t enforce standard formalities like bowing to instructors, lining up by belt rank, or yielding mat space to more senior students. We do have some common-sense hygiene and safety rules, but you can basically treat our martial arts classes as you would any other fitness class.

We have a few simple rules to ensure everyone can feel safe and welcome at our gym.

Be respectful of other members of the gym.

Be responsible in training. Communicate with your partners - tap early and often!

Be clean Arrive clean and with clean gear. Cut your nails. No bare feet off the mat. Always clean your hands and feet before entering the matted area. Please be sure to clean any shared equipment after each use.

Have Fun!

Walk-ins are very welcome! Whether you want to watch a class, participate or just chat with an instructor - please drop-in and say 'Hi' anytime!

Our coaches are more than happy to confidentially discuss any accommodations we can make to suit your needs; however, please be sure that you have been cleared by a doctor before starting a new activity.

There is no sparring in cardio kickboxing or boot camp courses.

Optional sparring is available at kickboxing and BJJ classes. Sparring is always optional and never mandatory. Hard sparring with strikes is not allowed at our gym. It is bad for your health and not necessary for developing in combat sports.

All class participation is always entirely at your own discretion and to your own level of comfort.
