We made it a point on our girl’s trip to Miami to try some new workouts that none of us had done before. One of those, and probably the one we all enjoyed the most, was at Gotham Gym Miami! Gotham Gym is a boxing studio that does personal training and group fitness classes. We stopped in and booked ourselves for their Saturday group fitness class and had such a great time! Keep reading to see our experience at Gotham, and hopefully you’ll want to give this studio a try too!

The Studio

The Gotham Gym in Miami is right next door to the Barry’s Bootcamp studio, which is how we found it. They have a large studio, with a boxing ring front and center. There is a group of punching bags hung against one of the walls off to the side for individual and class use. This studio also has a ton of workout equipment including hand weights, cable machines, rowers, etc. I’ve been in a couple of different boxing studios, and Gotham has a super professional set up.

The Workout

We were told when signing up that the group fitness class on Saturday’s is their most popular class. After taking the class, I can certainly see why! The class was split into 4 sections: warm up, movements off the bag, movements on the bag, and an ab finisher.

We started with a dynamic warmup that was 3 rounds of the same full body movements. Each round, we increased how hard we were working so that by the end you really had your blood flowing. After that, we ran through a handful of different punches and combinations off of the bag in the ring. This helped us all get comfortable with the movements we would be doing on the bag without having the gloves on. The most fun part of class, in my opinion, is when we got on the punching bags! We worked through different movements and combos, and were all sweating our butts off. The class finished with abs, and by the end of it I felt like I just about had nothing left to give.

Here are my results from class and a picture of us afterwards. You can see we worked ourselves up quite a sweat!

Overall Thoughts

If you’re ever in Miami, you must go by Gotham Gym for their group kickboxing class! The staff and trainers are so great and encouraging no matter what your fitness level or boxing experience is. This is a great cardio and strength builder that’s so much fun you almost forget that it’s a workout while you’re doing it!
