I am a new member of Kuma and a fan already. I was welcomed right in to a new community of lovely and tough women. My desire is to get stronger, feel stronger and to crave my classes at Kuma. It’s working! There’s trust in my body knowing what it needs and at what pace. I’m grateful that Kuma is designed to empower women physically, emotionally and spiritually as well. That’s my experience.

I started coming here earlier this month and from the moment I stepped inside the studio, I felt welcome. The atmosphere is different than anything I’ve experienced; no one is talking about their weight or burning holiday calories or anything like that. It’s completely neutral, and all progress is encouraged and celebrated. I highly recommend KUMA if you feel like hitting bags and feeing embraced by community

I am fairly new to KUMA and absolutely loving it! I definitely recommend starting with the Foundations class. It was a great intro and allowed me to join the regular classes with confidence. If you’re like me and years ago you did Chalene Johnson’s Turbo Jam workouts, you will love this!

I love Kuma! It’s such a supportive and wholesome community in addition to a great workout! It’s always been a struggle for me to really get into a good exercise routine, but these days I get up before the sun to punch and kick bags with other women! What could be better?!

Kuma is incredible! I took the foundations class and was immediately hooked. Every person, staff member and coach in the studio is accommodating, supportive and excited to see you! The classes are so much fun and you leave there feeling powerful, strong and ready to take on the day! Boxing is the best stress relief…. come to Kuma and try it out!
