Lose Weight-Relieve Stress- Tone Up All in ONE Workout!
Family Kickboxing is unique in that we are the first and only real kickboxing club in Sudbury that focuses directly on our students wanting to get in
the best shape of their lives as quickly as possible.
There are no "aerobic boxing" classes, no karate classes, no "boxing" classes or anything else that tries to pass itself off as real kickboxing. We are not "Jack of All Trades". We specialize in using Real Kickboxing to produce Real Results in all walks of life.
Through properly designed classes’ tailored to each student individually, weight loss, improved health, increased self-confidence, and of course looking great are all benefits we are pros at delivering.
Besides simply getting in great shape at any age, during your route to greater health and fitness, you will be learning real kickboxing.
What I mean by this is, instead of running on a treadmill to nowhere, you will be getting in shape while learning real kickboxing thus gaining additional skills like self-defence.
A mixture of cardio and power is added to each class to maximize your Total Body Workout!
We get incredible results with incredible workouts.
If you’re serious about your health and fitness, if you’re tired of doing the same thing and you want to "raise the bar", then you've come to the right place.
It's not that the club atmosphere is all serious, (check out the "Fun Stuff" page) it's just that we are serious about reaching your goals.
I guarantee the Family Kickboxing experience is one that you have never felt before! If you’re thinking “I’ve heard all this before” come on out and enjoy Two Free Weeks of kickboxing classes and see for yourself why others are talking about us!
Nothing Taste As Good As Fit Feels!
How to Get Started (no registration required):
1- To claim your Two Free Weeks, pick a class and jump in! Most people stick to classes made for beginners, which are MON-WED-FRI at 6pm.
2- Dress comfortably and come ready to have a blast!
3- You do not need any gear to enjoy your trial, we even have boxing gloves for you!
4- Most people are barefoot, but it is 100% preference, you can wear INDOOR shoes if you like.
5- See anyone at the front counter if you have any questions!
6- HAVE FUN!
*** No you do not need to spar or compete in any way!
There is NO SPARRING in BEGINNER CLASSES.
We have special classes for those who do. The majority of our students have no intention of ever participating in the "full contact" side of the sport. There is no sparring in the regular classes! ***
What others are saying...
"After a 6 year struggle to get back into the same shape I was before having my kids, I decided to join Family Kickboxing.
In just six months you have helped me lose weight, look better and feel better about myself.
I am thrilled to have surpassed my goal and now thrive to maintain the results I have worked so hard for.
Thank you to all the students and trainers who have been there for me to keep me motivated by being so encouraging when I was feeling discouraged."

"A change in attitude.
I have spent the last few years (yes, years not months) trying to be what I didn’t want. I didn’t want to be the fat person who didn’t want to exercise, didn’t want to eat right and didn’t want to be tired all the time.
Now I try to be what I do want. I do want to be fit. I do want to eat healthy. I do want to be lean and toned.
I realize what I have gained.
I have gained a more active lifestyle, a stronger body and better outlook on life.
I have gained a sense of accomplishment in finally reaching my goal of a healthy weight (80 pounds less) while working toward the various kickboxing belt levels.
Family Kickboxing has been a great inspiration.
The motivation, challenges, fun and friends at the club have made all the difference in helping me aim to be the best I can be.
That’s an attitude that I do want and will continue to aim for."

"The work, devotion and most of all caring you put into this club (members really) is amazing.
You are one heck of a motivational coach (so is your dad!).
I really enjoy all the classes, (yes the kids' classes too!!), the camaraderie of the club, seeing you interact with people and knowing just who needs your pep talk, who needs your 'ribbing', your 'shoot from the hip' straight talk but most of all it is the fostering of love and caring you show to all at the club that makes it such a special place to work out.
No one is competing against others to look better (better punches, better kicks, better body) like some other 'workout clubs'.
You have created a 'Family Kickboxing club' (and not a dysfunctional one at that!)
Thank you Al."

"Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed Monday evening’s class at Family Kickboxing!
This being my first time doing the work-out, I wasn’t sure what to expect but I’d heard it was a great work-out and I knew it would be fun.
However, the class, as instructed by your father, exceeded my expectations!
The level of exercise was just right! Though there were some more advanced pupils in the group, I never felt intimidated or pressured to do more than I could.
The instructor was assertive where necessary, but very down to earth and approachable.
I left the work-out feeling empowered, accomplished and confident that I will meet my personal health goals through the classes offered at Family Kickboxing.
I can’t wait to return and I’ve already recruited some friends to come and try it out!
Thanks again.
See you next week!"

"Hey Al,
Great News Letter… As always.. You’re so creative.
It was nice that you threw some of the students into it. You do have many dedicated students.
I just wanted to mention my busy lifestyle… It was funny that you mention that, it is because of Family Kickboxing. Before “You” I was the biggest Couch Potato, busy being a Mom and not even thinking of me…I tried different things to get active but nothing interested me and then I was introduced to Kickboxing!
It was May 2006; I tried it with a bunch of girls. And from that moment on I was in love and hooked on the sport and had to do it. I was a little shy, yes me shy, just a little! “Just go back a few years… I didn't’t talk at all.” So I asked my son Niko to join with me and he said yes. So September 2006 we joined Family Kickboxing and my lifestyle of the Couch Potato was mashed, literally. From that point on my lifestyle changed to a busy one of physical fitness. Who knew it could be so much fun. So from Family Kickboxing to working with a Personal Trainer, Yoga, Running a ½ Marathon and now my new venture of Roller Derby, it is all Thanks to Family Kickboxing. Family Kickboxing is where I was able to gain the confidence that I could do anything. Maybe not be the best at it but I could certainly do it and have so much fun doing it.
Family Kickboxing is a GREAT name for your club. Not only because of the Great Family running it but you treat people like family. Ray never judges anyone; he treats everyone the same good or the not so good. He knows that some people learn faster than others. And that is a great way to be, it keeps people coming back and new ones staying. I believe you too Al, have taken over that trait from your father. J That is what makes you great teachers.
This is the longest I have been away from Kickboxing in 4 years… Truthfully its killing me… You guys are my extended family. But with the vigorous training we must do to get Roller Derby ready for our first bout on Oct 2, sadly there is no time for Kickboxing… When it is over, I will be back so don’t forget about me and don’t let anyone take my bag… LOL
I would also like to Thank You for your support in Roller Derby and coming out to see us, that was super nice of you!!!!
Thanks Family Kickboxing
See you soon
Kindest Regards,"

"I have been to many, many clubs/gyms throughout my 10+ years in Toronto, and when I recently moved to Sudbury, checked out almost all of them. There is lot's of great clubs our here, but I chose Family Kickboxing because of one main point: They rarely talk about themselves! They are all about my needs, goals and mission in life and motivate me to be my best. I am happy to be part of the family! They are "student centered" and are extreme proffesionals at what they do. After only a couple months, I'm am loving the benifits, especially after several children :) Thanks guys! You helped me love my body again! I look great, feel awesome and am ready to face the beach in my new two piece!"

"Hi Al,
Just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you. I wanted to thank you and Ray for an awesome time and great work outs. Both Miranda and I really enjoy your club. You have a great atmosphere there that makes us comfortable even though we are not fighters. Thanks again and see you soon!!"

"I'm so happy I joined family kickboxing. Not only have I lost weight & inches and gained confidence, I have met some great people along the way who have the same goals as me: getting in shape. At Family Kickboxing, the atmosphere is fun and challenging at the same time. Also, there are no "better than you" attitudes and everyone is always willing to help everyone. Keep up the good work Al!! I'm always recommending Family Kickboxing to my family, friends and coworkers. "

"Thank you for "Bridal Boot Camp!!" Thanks to you my dress fits to perfection! All that work payed off. Keep up the good work at your club!"

"I just want to thank you for helping me, while I was trying to get back into shape. You guys did a really good job with naming that club "Family Kickboxing", as I feel like you guys have made me part of it. The training is great, and I honestly feel like the training has greatly contributed to my success in coping with my many health issues. The training has helped toughen me up for these surgeries, and other procedures, and have even helped me cope psychologically with my disease. This disease has really tested my faith in God, and forced me to really think about my life and my goals. Your club, you guys, have helped me more than I can ever explain. In a time that I felt weak and powerless, you guys made me feel so much better, and even confident again. This club is so much more than just a place to workout, and I really want to express my gratitude for everything you guys have done for me."
