RISE Fitness & Kickboxing

Fantastic experience: I had my first kickboxing class with Kevin today, and it was an amazing experience! Kevin was very welcoming, professional, and patient. He explained every move clearly and made sure I felt comfortable and confident throughout the session. The class was a great balance of technique, cardio, and fun. I already feel motivated to keep training and improving. Highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking to learn kickboxing, whether you’re a beginner or have experience!

Fantastic experience: Great boxing classes. The hour goes by quickly. Friendly gym with a community feel.

Fantastic experience: Cole’s classes are hard in the best way. He pushes me out of my comfort zone and makes sure I do it with the best form.

Fantastic experience: I always love Hayden's class. It's feels very personalized and like I'm better able to work on some technical work as well. Great workout

Fantastic experience: This gym has been life-changing for me. Over the past year, I’ve lost just under 90 pounds, and it all started with the classes. They were a huge help in the beginning—I didn’t want to feel like the “weakest link,” so I pushed myself even though the workouts are designed to go at your own pace. Eventually, I set a goal to gain muscle and finally do a pull-up—something I had never been able to do before. Hayden, one of the personal trainers, created a plan for me and was always available to answer my questions. Thanks to his guidance, I can now do pull-ups and lift weights confidently and safely. Something I didn’t expect was how many friendships I’d build along the way. As someone who’s pretty introverted and antisocial, I never thought I’d meet so many amazing people here. This past summer, I even got a group of gym friends together to play tennis a few times, which was a blast. This gym isn’t just a place to work out—it’s a community that’s changed my life.

Fantastic experience: Wow! I had a blast. The workout was challenging and the the atmosphere was full of energy. Can't wait to do it again.

Fantastic experience: I was back home for a week! And stayed with my friend who trains with Ben regularly, I had 3 personal training sessions with him, and used the gym around 3 times with a group of extremely motivated individuals and ended up doing a group workout! This gym is great! It’s a great community, extremely encouraging and above all feels like home! Which is something we are all looking for! Good luck guys! Can’t wait to be back :)

Fantastic experience: I love Wolf’s workouts! He definitely knows how to create a difficult and effective workout, plus he’s a kind and inclusive person - he makes all participants feel welcome.

Fantastic experience: At 66, I tore my MCL playing competitive singles tennis, completely. After physical therapy, Hans recommended that I see Ben for physical training. I told Ben that it was really important for me to remain active and that my first goal was skiing in CO in 4 months. The first 4-6 weeks barely used any weights, instead Ben focused on range of motion exercises, engaging other muscle groups, proper form, and slow steady effort with gradual increases. Then Ben added in weights, but still focusing on the other things, like step up lunges with hand weights (ugh!). When I got back from CO, I showed Ben my stats from Slopes. My buddy and I skied every day, for 5 days straight, most all day, even during a snow storm when we had the mountain to our selves (no lift lines). We averaged 16,000+ vertical feet per day. No double blacks, but you know, I’m not as young as I once was. Thanks Ben! Thanks Rise Fitness!

Fantastic experience: Erin is an excellent coach! Very energetic and supportive! I love her classes!

Fantastic experience: Rise Fitness is an excellent gym facility and all the coaches are very knowledgeable in their fitness training Ben Biondi is my coach and I am very confident that he will help me with my training and get me back to my fitness level !

Fantastic experience: I recently returned to town from Texas and couldn’t wait to attend Erin’s workout class again! Erin is simply the best—her energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to helping everyone reach their fitness goals are unmatched. She creates such a welcoming and supportive environment that makes you want to push yourself harder. Her workouts are always challenging but fun, and she offers modifications to ensure everyone feels included, no matter their fitness level. It was so refreshing to be back in her class, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a top-notch workout experience. Thank you, Erin, for always delivering excellence & being an Earth Angel We appreciate you!!!

Fantastic experience: I just started at RISE and it’s been great. Easy to sign up and easy sign in for classes/open gym time. Great instructors and affordable. Excited to start some personal training sessions to learn how to maximize my time at the gym.

Fantastic experience: Erin is an incredible trainer. Sessions are really well planned and varied. She has great energy, she provides clear instructions and encouragement throughout. Always enjoyable. Many thanks!

Fantastic experience: Great first class for me! Welcoming environment and lots of great energy and great music! Felt challenged without being overwhelmed. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Joined Rise over a year ago with some goals in mind and with an already consistent workout routine….I surpassed my goals as a result of the constant encouragement and incredible one on one coaching and my routine became so much more productive and improved. I have done workouts I never would have and am stronger and more motivated! Even more impressive is the culture at Rise….it is the most kind, positive and accepting gym! Run, don’t walk and be an active part of your amazing fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym and the coaches are fantastic! Erin is so personable and sweet, but also leads killer workouts. She is fantastic at helping you with form and techniques. Highly recommend her classes for anyone that wants to get stronger while having a fun workout with a great group of people.

Fantastic experience: Hayden Fisher is the best! Very warm, friendly, caring person. He explained everything to me and made me feel comfortable as soon as I met him. The class today was awesome. I was able to follow it and complete the class with his gentle guidance and tone. Hayden is a professional and I will gladly recommend him to my friends. I was extremely happy with his class and look forward to the next. Thank you Hayden! BTW Great customer service as soon as you walk into the door; friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Annapolis! People are friendly Staff is positive, helpful and genuinely want you to meet your goals. Hayden is great I liked the focus on punch and kick sequences and the transitions. It was perfectly paced with sufficient time to recover

Fantastic experience: He is patient and takes time to explain technique and form. Definitely I a good workout all round.

Fantastic experience: Great classes with great instructors who always keep us moving towards our fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Erin is a mastermind when it comes to fitness classes. She produces a fun but challenging class that leaves you feeling great. I highly recommend Erin, and her energetic & infectious personality adds to the whole experience. Thanks

Fantastic experience: As always, an awesome and varied workout that gets your heart rate up. I love Erin's positivity, helpfulness, encouragement, and modifications.

Positive experience: The coach who ended the class has great energy and was high intensity. He kept it interesting and variable. The only feedback I have is that there needs to be at least 1 minute of rest in between 3 minute rounds.

Fantastic experience: Erin always does great. Classes well thought out and planned. She’s always paying close attention to form, and correcting slight issues or problems. Enjoy working out with her. And, love the 5.30am!

Fantastic experience: Great workout! Also cute kids were bonus entertainment

Fantastic experience: Even tho I suck at AMRAPs, this class was a great workout!

Fantastic experience: There’s so many great things to say about RISE and the people who work there! Ben has fostered a community where people are passionate, supportive, and welcoming. This gym is not intimidating; the people there cheer you on, build you up. And Ben goes beyond being an incredible trainer. He has helped me redefine my limits over the years, through different stages of my life, and is a constant that pushes me to them - mentally and physically. He’s tough, but empathic. Every workout is personalized to exactly what I need that day. Constantly educating himself, he’s given me the tools to transform my body and my mind. From the very first day when you walk in through those doors, you become a member of the RISE family, and a friend of Ben’s.

Fantastic experience: Great clinic so glad I joined I hope to attend classes after it’s over. Coaches are fun upbeat encouraging.

Fantastic experience: First class and it was great. I like the set-up of the class and how there was enough time to get one move down before getting additional moves added. It was a great workout.

Fantastic experience: Together we RISE. I have been training, coaching, and working out at RISE Fitness and Kickboxing, formerly Kicked Up Fitness, since January 2019. I can say with absolute certainty this gym has the most character, the most unique atmosphere, the most knowledgeable training staff, and the BEST members in the greater Annapolis area. We are a family, we are diverse, we support one another, we leave our egos at the door, and most importantly, we have fun! RISE has become my home away from home (even though I live right down the road!). I am grateful for everything the gym has done for me, both professionally and personally. I have received nothing but support since I came on board. The gym (including major input from our now owner, Ben Biondi), has helped me find my way in Annapolis. I thereby show up to serve our clientele and inspire our community to the best of my ability everyday. I see the same in all of our owners, our coaches, and our members. There are tons of individuals and families that have been a part of this community for many years, and the reason for that is obvious: because this gym is filled with love, passion, and of course, SWEAT, GRIT, and HARD WORK. And don't forget, we have Robert "Contact" Watley, professional MMA athlete and local superstar (14-3 record) training out of our gym. Rob's doing big things, and we are grateful for the opportunity to support him and all of our local athletes at every level, in their pursuit of excellence. Remember that EVERYONE is an athlete and everyone can RISE to their highest potential. This will look different for each of us, and it will look different today than it did yesterday or does tomorrow, and it will manifest differently this year than it will next year, or even ten years after that. But at RISE, it is our job, and our privilege, to help individuals on their health, fitness, rehabilitation, and performance journeys, and to provide the support necessary for Self-discovery, Self-fulfillment, and Self-realization. Never Given, Only Earned.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. It’s like coming home when you walk in. Great trainers and classes.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this gym for the last two years and can’t rave about it enough! It’s a family style gym that has amazing classes and trainers! They are always eager to answer any questions that you have or modify workouts for you. All the employees there do an amazing job of making it the best experience possible!

Fantastic experience: Erin is a wonderful instructor! I organize my Saturdays around her class. Not only is she funny and kind, her workouts are spicy!! She knows everyone’s name which makes the gym feel like a home.

Fantastic experience: I've never been to a gym quite like RISE -- the community there is special. The trainers/staff/long-time members are so welcoming, people actually know each other's names, the monthly challenges are fun and motivating, and the combo of kickboxing and strength/conditioning classes have helped me take my fitness to the next level. The 3-day free trial membership was also much appreciated and their monthly rate is a deal. Love it there!

Fantastic experience: This was a great workout! All of the movements were doable, yet challenging, and provided a great sweat sesh. I really appreciated that Cole came around and helped with form, and motivation. You can definitely tell he enjoys what he does! Thanks again!

Fantastic experience: I'm a longtime member and Erin's Strength & Training on Wednesdays at 6pm is my favorite. Erin is an amazing trainer! I love Rise Fitness!! all the trainers and staff are the best in Annapolis! Also, I made really good friends here.

Fantastic experience: At Rise they remember your name and the atmosphere feels like family. The coaches are all experienced, and enthusiastic with various unique skills. I have enjoyed all of the classes I have taken there, and the personal training. They offer way to drive you to reach your goals.

Fantastic experience: All of the coaches have 10/10 classes, good music, great community, love coming here!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to this gym for years since it was Kicked Up Fitness and I can honestly say that this gym is one of the most welcoming, supportive, fun, and challenging environment you can be in. All of the instructors are wonderful; they make a point to remember your name and cheer you on during the hardest workouts of your life as well as making sure you are enjoying your journey to fitness. The other gym members are so friendly and they definitely push you to do your best. When I first moved to Annapolis, I didn’t know anyone and I wanted somewhere to fit in, now I’ve made so many friends that I still meet up with outside of gym. If you need a cool community to be involved in, this is the right place to go!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to this gym for years and I love it! Classes are really fun, and hard, which is the perfect combo. Everybody around there is also really nice and helpful, so I don’t think it can get any better than that.

Fantastic experience: I had never taken a kickboxing class before joining RISE Fitness & Kickboxing, but it was one of the reasons I signed up. At first, I was intimidated, but the trainers quickly explained each move and proper form. The energy of these classes is unbeatable! If you don't feel like going to the gym, just show up to a class, and you'll want to work out. I've been a member of "corporate gyms" in the past and never looked forward to going. They were overwhelming, impersonal, and overcrowded. The culture of RISE Fitness & Kickboxing turns members into friends. Soon after joining, I was being greeted by name! The people are friendly, the price is competitive, and the trainers encourage/challenge you to do *your* best. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this gym since it was Kicked up. I started with one class a week and now enjoy doing 6 classes a week. All the coaches are amazing, motivating and welcoming. Rise is the Cheers of fitness centers, "Where everyone knows your name!"

Fantastic experience: Working with Kevin Cramer is fantastic! His knowledge and dedication to a plan of action has me excited for the results. Thanks Kev!

Fantastic experience: Been coming here for years and I love this place. The owner really cares about the community that has built up here over the years and it shows. Best gym in Annapolis!

Fantastic experience: Been a member at this gym for years now and while there may be 6 other fitness centers between my home and Rise I'll drive past all of them to come here. The gym has a great community feel, especially under the new management, and the personal training is exactly what I need. Thanks Ben for taking this gym from good to great!

Fantastic experience: Been a member since it was Kicked Up and still here in it's 3rd, final, and best iteration Rise Fitness and Kickboxing. The team challenges are fun and really enjoy the atmosphere. Most importantly - here's another 10 pushups for you, Ben!

Fantastic experience: Friendly owner and staff. They have all the equipment I need..plus a good community presence

Fantastic experience: My husband and I started at RISE a few months back and our experience has been nothing short of amazing. Everyone has been super friendly and helpful! I also highly recommend taking a boxing class if you’re considering joining, they are high energy and a great time!

Fantastic experience: Rise fitness is an amazing gym and community. Ben the owner is always positive and motivating. All around would recommend this gym to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Primer día hoy, y me encanto, el lugar chiquito pero tiene todo lo necesario, las personas allí son muy amables, a pesar de tener barreras en el idioma, siempre tratan de ayudarte , gracias ☺️

Fantastic experience: I’ve had an incredible experience at this gym. The classes here will absolutely challenge you, giving your workout routine a serious boost! Every person I’ve crossed paths with has been exceptionally friendly and supportive. Returning to the gym after a hiatus due to health and personal reasons, and I was feeling quite intimidated, but the warm welcome I’ve received from everyone here has made it easy to stay motivated and get back into a routine. If you’re considering working with a personal trainer, I wholeheartedly recommend Hayden. He’s not only incredibly attentive and detail-oriented but also exudes a friendly disposition that makes working with him a pleasure. Hayden motivates and pushes you in a remarkably positive and uplifting manner, and you can truly sense his passion for what he does. In sum, this gym is a hidden gem, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience here!

Negative experience: We cancelled membership and was then informed we needed to give a month’s notice to cancel. We were then charged for time we didn’t use.

Fantastic experience: Ben is very professional and his guidance on personal accountability for results have pushed my daughter’s swimming skills to another level.

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches, upbeat vibe and challenging workouts! You can tell that the owners and coaches care about each of the customers and want to help reach your goals any way they can. Definitely recommend coming here!

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here since last year but had to take a break until now since I broke my thumb on black ice in January. This company allowed me all my missed time back and I even got to gift my remaining months to a friend when I leave by July 1st bc I'm moving to Florida. Everyone here is nice and every staff member is amazing. I love Micah, he always makes everyone feel welcome and at home. He goes out of his way to help you during his intense classes and provides encouragement verbally as you are in the midst of tough workouts. Chris is also super helpful and did not hesitate to make my situation easy for me. I can honestly say that I'm going to miss this place a lot. I wish I could take hot box with me and all the people! You will love this place.

Fantastic experience: Bought a trial class pack and loved it so much that I purchased a membership. Each trainer has their own class style which makes it fun and different each time. The staff and other members are really friendly and supportive.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic job making everyone feel safe, sanitized and energized! So glad to be back!

Fantastic experience: Super great environment, everyone is friendly and always open to help, the classes are really good and they keep it really clean!

Fantastic experience: Kicked Up Fitness is the best gym I’ve been to whether in the Annapolis area or not. The owner and staff are wonderful. The sense of community and friendliness of the other members is unmatched. The classes are motivating and I leave the gym knowing that I’ve been pushed to work hard the entire time. And having access to a full weight room on top of the classes is great. It’s worth repeating that the people at KIcked Up Fitness (owner, staff, members and Titan) are what make it the best gym in Annapolis.

Fantastic experience: Kicked up has been doing everything to make sure we get a good workout in and stay safe!! Everything is clean and everyone gets personal cleaning supplies - plus the classes are better than ever! I’ll never leave this gym!

Fantastic experience: Every trainer is in their own way EXTRAORDINARY the classes are engaging, and encouraging they challenge you as a person and as a class which is helps you achieve personal goals and not feel overwhelmed. This gym is pure fun for all ages it couldn't be a more well managed facility or a better program (2 year member)

Fantastic experience: I was honestly debating if this gym would be worth it. It's a 30 minute commute, and with gyms much closer to me I wondered if it was really that much better than my other options. However, I LOVE THIS GYM. The instructors are all incredibly passionate and kind. I've never been happier at a gym before. The classes have such a safe environment, the instructors push you to try your hardest but ultimately they want you to do your best and understand that everyone is on a different level. I've been in classes with 15 others and still felt that I received individualized attention when I needed it. The instructors are always there for you before, during, and after to help. I cannot say enough good things about this place, I urge everyone to try it out!

Fantastic experience: Kicked Up Fitness is the best. gym. ever. Only go there if you want to sweat, be challenged, have fun while you work out and meet incredible people. I recently had the opportunity to train with Emily Young for six weeks during a #BacktoSchoolChallenge at the gym. All the trainers at the gym are woah so amazing, but what made me excited about training with Emily was her unique workout style. She leads "kickboxing" classes at the gym which I love going to, but they are so much more than kickboxing. She incorporates strength training, endurance and all this other stuff that pushes me beyond my limits and then also has us work out on the bag. What impressed me about her as our team coach during the challenge was how organized, meticulous, thoughtful, challenging and inspirational she was. She met with our group individually at the beginning to assess our goals, then created both individual and group workouts and meal plans. Every one of us had different strengths, body types and goals. She made sure we were all training properly according to our body types and pushed and encouraged us every minute during all of our work out sessions. Emily made me feel like I could accomplish anything and even though I wanted to kill her and/or die bc of how challenging her plans were, I did it. She helped me be proud of myself. We all lost weight, inches and body fat percentage. Our group worked so well together because of how cool and supportive everyone is and also because we all truly admired Emily as a person and trainer. If you want to feel good, better or your best, come to Kicked Up!

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in Annapolis! Awesome work out with lots of variety group workouts personal training team challenges it was amazing! I just went through a challenge with a trainer there named Emily and she was phenomenal. Everybody on our team lost double digit pounds and I personally lost 12 pounds and almost 4% body fat and just six weeks

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! The classes are fun AND challenging. The trainers are wonderful and they push you to realize your potential. I’ve asked different ones about form, diet, and equipment. They never hesitate to share their knowledge. I recently had the pleasure of working with Emily Y. during a group challenge. She was a fantastic coach—organized, motivating, and strategic about helping us reach our goals. Joining this gym is the first time I’ve really felt a sense of community in the 3-years I’ve lived in Annapolis. Visit their website for a free pass and come take a class with us!

Fantastic experience: Love the community at this gym! I’ve trained with both Ben and CJ, and appreciate all that they have pushed me to achieve. I really like the way CJ mixes up HIIT and strength training, which keeps workouts fun and challenging.

Fantastic experience: I was originally planning on joining for a month and now I’m on month 3! KU has such an amazing atmosphere and it’s an actual fun work out. Kickboxing always seemed super intimidating to me but KU coaches have taught me so much and I feel like I’ve come a long way!

Fantastic experience: I love the motivation that kicked up offers. This gym has helped me with pain, stress, training etc. Kicked up is a great group of people!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been coming to Kicked Up for about two years now. He has a mixed martial arts background, and I do not. This gym is able to give us both a consistently hard workout by keeping us engaged, smiling, and sweating alongside our friends. If you’re looking for a gym, you can’t find anything better for the value you get with one of these memberships. Not to mention, they have a diverse and highly qualified staff trained in EVERYTHING from kickboxing to weight training to fascial stretch therapy. There really is no gym that compares!

Fantastic experience: I have been to every gym in the Annapolis area and Kicked Up Fitness is BY FAR the best. I have been going to Kicked Up for a couple of years and couldn’t imagine ever going anywhere else. The trainers are all extremely knowledgeable and helpful and the classes are top notch.

Fantastic experience: Can’t get enough of this gym. Shoutout to Brenna, Josh and Paul. Their classes are really high energy and have gotten me into the best shape of my life. This place is good for beginners and for people who have been working out forever. It’s a great local gym with awesome trainers an amazing community.

Fantastic experience: This gym has a great community and it started me off on my fitness journey from scronny to strong. It’s given me a place to belong and I can’t thank them enough

Fantastic experience: First class was awesome!!Paul leads an awesome class!

Fantastic experience: KickedUp is great! The staff is amazing. I look forward all day to getting to the gym and working out, whether that’s taking a class or doing something independently. Great atmosphere and great people.

Fantastic experience: Este es el gym donde he estado entrenando por casi un a?o y al principio lo pense demasiado por el echo de que siempre me ponia escusas para ir pero si estas en la misma situacion que yo no lo pienses mas todos los entrenadores son muy amigables muy profecionales y todo el equipo funciona entonses puedes entrenar al 100% y si el problema es el q no ablas ingles pregunta por Tony el es hispano como tu como yo y te puede ayudar Ben y ms brenna son entrenadores q estan ahi todo el tiempo la atmosfera es muy familiar y yo se de un negocio familiar por q soy dueno de TAQUERIA JUQUILITA y kick up fitness me ase sentir como me siento en mi propio negocio no lo pienses mas y as tus suenos realidad siente bien con tigo mismo #nunca dado solo ganado

Fantastic experience: I've been a member to a number of the other local gyms and KU is the best in Annapolis. They have everything you need to reach your fitness goals from free weights, classes, top notch personal training, and sports rehab. Ownership is constantly investing back into the facility to ensure that they remain on the cutting edge of the fitness industry and I would recommend KU to anyone from beginner to advanced. A++

Fantastic experience: KickedUp Fitness is for everyone ... it's a smaller gym with an intimate feel where you'll feel comfortable taking a class or lifting weights. The trainers are awesome, and the staff overall rocks!

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best place to work out. I’ve tried a lot of different gyms specially boxing related and this one gives me the flexibility I need and the staff is superior to any other gym. All coaches are willing to help and motivate you, every time I come in I feel like I’m home. I highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best gym in Annapolis. Friendly Staff and great members. Kicked Up makes working out fun again. It will keep you engaged and coming back for more.

Fantastic experience: I'm pretty much obsessed with this gym. I started going back in March when I signed up for the one free class and was instantly hooked. I bought an unlimited monthly membership the next day, the bonus is that the rates are incredibly reasonable compared to most gyms. I primarily go for the kickboxing/boxing classes. The trainers are all incredible, motivating, helpful, and friendly and every class offers enough variety to keep your body fully engaged in different ways. I feel like I'm the strongest I've ever been which has been wonderful for both my physical and mental health. I'm honestly so thankful that I gave this place a try, I never want to stop going! Kicked Up is always the highlight of my day :)

Fantastic experience: Hidden gem and best gym value of all time. For the classes, skilled coaching, and fitness equipment in the facility it's an incredible monthly value. It's definitely less of a high skilled boxing gym & more fitness boxing , but for anyone who likes hitting the bag but not getting hit in the face this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: Kicked Up Fitness is by far the best gym in Annapolis with a great atmosphere! The staff is super friendly, solid music, and challenging classes. I love the variety of classes!

Fantastic experience: Kickboxing is cheaper than therapy. I come here after work & it relieves so much stress from working and going to school full time. David is a great coach who I enjoy having if you want to learn about boxing and have a little workout.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of kicked up fitness. Taking the kickboxing clases. The trainers are amazing with different approaches when teaChing classes. David is great for focusing on technique and strength. Paul,Landon,and Josh are great for a cardio workout. It's a very affordable and nice clean gym.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to kicked Up for 3 years. Amazing classes, staff is super friendly and make you feel comfortable no matter your level of fitness. Personal training highly recommended. Brenna stretch classes and massages are the bomb. Side note Josh’s Pecs are amazing.

Fantastic experience: Kicked Up Fitness is by far the best gym in Annapolis!! The staff and trainers are welcoming, supportive, and provide great accountability. The monthly membership is affordable, and allows you to utilize both the open gym and participate in classes. I highly recommend the gym to anyone in the area. It’s well worth it, and once you join you’ll keep coming back!

Fantastic experience: This is THE best gym in Annapolis! If you are looking for experienced coaches with very productive workouts, this is the gym!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Great atmosphere and trainers! I prefer the small group vibe and community of Kicked Up compared to other chain gyms.

Fantastic experience: Favorite gym I've ever consistently visited. Feels like a neighborhood gym which I prefer over 'big-box' type, and somehow it's never too crowded. Big weight room, lots of free weights and machines, 2 power racks. Another big room has cardio machines, punching bags, and cross fit type equipment. Haven't tried a class yet but there's always lots of people taking them. I signed up for their 3 month summer promo and then extended because I have no complaints!

Fantastic experience: Great workouts, great trainers and overall great gym in the community. Their classes are fun, challenging and innovative.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym for 5 years, I love the trainers and the community provided by kicked up fitness. I have gone through spurts because of health issues and every time I come back, I am welcomed back with open arms. The workouts our phenomenal and you leave there gassed in a good way. Thank you to Tony and the kicked up team!! Love love love

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Kicked Up Fitness and Performance. The atmosphere is like no other gym i've ever been to!! All of the personal trainers and instructors know what they are talking about and make you feel super welcomed. The classes are challenging and the price for an unlimited membership is unbeatable! At first I was intimidated because I am a beginner in kickboxing/boxing but thats simply not the case at this gym. BEST gym in Annapolis!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Kicked Up for almost a year now. I joined on a whim but plan to renew come January because I am totally in love! Not only does it have a small business vibe, it is the ONLY gym in which I feel like the trainers genuinely care about my well being and health. It is unlike any other gym I've ever experienced. High energy, great music, and sweet atmosphere makes it the total package. I never felt like I would be comfortable with an intense strength training and kickboxing routine like this. However, I have been inspired and provided with the confidence to push forward and persevere. Brenna in particular has been such an AMAZING help. Especially when it comes to increasing my flexibility and mobility. Thank you, Kicked Up!!!

Fantastic experience: Kicked UP Fitness is amazing and truly helped push me to change my life for the better! Everyone there is super friendly and it feels more like a family than anything else! I mostly took classes with Ben, Brenna and Jason which all have their own way of giving the class. Classes are never the same twice so you'll never get bored! It seems like they are always trying new ways to keep things fresh and yet challenging! Now if you get lucky and have a class with Tony you better get ready for the workout of your life! If you really want to get to the next level I would recommend choosing a trainer to do one on one classes with. Jason Pitt was a great trainer and while my time was limited the workouts with him really taught me a lot and I saw some great results! I only wish that I lived closer and could continue to go there because it was truly a wonderful place to spend a few hours in the evening!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the Annapolis area! I've been coming to Kicked Up for almost 4 years. I was out of shape and afraid to try kickboxing but somehow found the courage to give it a try. Since then I've lost about 50 lbs and kept it off. The owner Tony and his staff really want you to succeed, they are passionate about fitness and nutrition. The personal training is the greatest, Tony has pushed me out of my comfort zone to do things I never thought this 40 something body could do. Brenna was a great personal trainer for my daughter in High School, she helped her get in the best shape for Summer Field Hockey tryouts. I've never been to a gym where I've made friends, I would normally wear my headphones and just do my thing. At Kicked Up, everyone is friendly, you want to socialize. The classes promote camaraderie. Don't be afraid to try it...

Fantastic experience: I have been working out here for the last 2 1/2 years and I can easily say that this is the best gym in many ways. The trainers and staff treat you like family, the equipment and programs are state of the art and the location is great. I honestly thought my poor metabolism was the cause of my lack of weight loss in the past. My trainer Janice showed me that I could lose weight with a different program and diet than what I had been doing. She listens to your needs and creates a program for you to see max results. I have lost 11 pounds and 6% body fat during my 6 weeks of working out with her. I am super happy with my results so far and looking forward to the summer!

Positive experience: I'm so excited to be seeing such great results after my second body fat challenge with Janice. She is amazing!!! Being a middle aged woman I never thought I could get my figure back but today I did the scan and I'm the lowest I've been in ages. All of the clothes I shoved to the back of the closet are starting to fit!!! If you're in the Annapolis area I hope you check out KUF. The boxing/kickboxing classes are such fun and the best way to let out the frustrations of the day. The gym is small, welcoming, amazingly well priced and there's a lot of love there.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym around! Kicked Up offers the best options for those starting their fitness journey and for those who may have been at it a while. If the big “corporate gym” environment isn’t for you or you walk in those gyms not knowing where to begin, I urge you to give Kicked Up Fitness a try. They won’t disappoint. They add a personal touch with guidance and mentoring along the way. Their classes are amazing and cater to people of all ages and skill levels. All of the trainers are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They WANT to see you succeed and are always approachable for advice or guidance. Tony does a great job running this gym and makes everyone feel like part of the Kicked Up Fitness family. Like I said, IT’S THE BEST GYM AROUND! The pricing is incredibly reasonable and transparent. The trainers/coaches/owner are all there for YOU and want you to succeed with your fitness goals. Whether it’s your first time going to a gym or you’re no stranger to one, you will love this place!

Fantastic experience: This is a great place for cardio boxing. The trainers are really helpful.
