We're calling it The 'Movement Loft' now and here's why.

KickBasics may have started with kickboxing; but, it's evolved to include so much more and the name stopped telling the whole story.

The small one room studio transformed into a space where you come and move; a movement loft actually. Whether that's throwing punches in a kickboxing class, lifting in a strength room, sweating through cardio, limbering up with mobility, or booking a private studio room for something entirely your own (or with a friend) ... it all belongs here.

"Loft" isn't just a nod to the space itself (though hi, have you 👀). It's the idea that this is your space to rise. To show up and do the work in whatever form that takes for you, that day, at this point in your life.

No gatekeeping. No one definition of what fitness looks like. Just you, showing up and moving.

Compassionate coaches. Familiar community. New space at 55 Bentley St.

And a name that finally fits. 🖤

🤜 One month from today, KickBasics turns 10! 🤛

Ten years ago I opened the doors with a dream, some hope, a lot of chaos and zero garuntees.

Today we're still here; in a brand new home.....
And we are ready to celebrate!!

June 19th - 21st we're throwing a full Grand Re-Opening & 10th Anniversary weekend at 55 Bentley St to mark both milestones with the people who made it possible.

Open Houses. Free Classes. BBQ. Q&A Panel.
And a whole lot of heart.

Details dropping soon. Save the dates!!

Putting our clients first started almost 10 years ago.

And while putting yourself first can mean a lot of things to a lot of women; we've been able to build a space for every single one.

Put yourself first here.
