TRFirst Class Free

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers to what people ask most before starting boxing, kickboxing or Muay Thai. Can't find yours? Message us on WhatsApp.

Is the first class free?

Yes. Your first trial class at Forest Fight is free. Just message us on WhatsApp (+90 552 646 56 14) and pick the class that suits you.

What age can you start kickboxing?

Children can usually start around age 5–6 with play-based classes. Forest Fight runs a kids kickboxing group for ages 6–10 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 17:00–17:45. Our teen & adult classes are for ages 15–40; if you're outside that range, message us about other options. If you have a health condition, check with your doctor before you start.

Does kickboxing help you lose weight?

Kickboxing is a high-intensity, full-body workout, so it burns a lot of calories and helps with weight loss. For lasting results you need a calorie deficit: 2–3 regular sessions a week combined with a balanced diet.

Boxing, kickboxing or Muay Thai?

Boxing uses punches only, with a focus on footwork, defence and hand technique. Kickboxing adds kicks. Muay Thai adds knees, elbows and the clinch on top of that. Try one or more of them in your free trial class to see which suits you.

How many calories does 1 hour of kickboxing burn?

It depends on your body weight, the pace and the content of the class. As a general estimate, a 70 kg person burns roughly 400–750 calories in a one-hour kickboxing session. Classes heavy on pads, bag work and conditioning are closer to the top of that range.

I have no experience. Can I start?

Yes. Our classes suit every level; beginners start with stance and basic punches and kicks, and set the pace to their own fitness. Beginners usually don't spar straight away; you decide together with your coach when you're ready.

What should I bring?

Comfortable sportswear, water and a small towel. Kickboxing and Muay Thai are usually trained barefoot, boxing in trainers. For your first class you can use the gym's gloves and wraps; if you decide to continue, you'll need your own.

Is there a women-only class?

Our women-only adult boxing and kickboxing group is starting soon: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 16:00–17:00, with coaches Mert Özen and Birtan Tapar. Message us on WhatsApp to pre-register; details are on our Women's Boxing & Kickboxing page.

We don't list prices on the website. For monthly memberships, multi-class plans, kids classes, private lessons and drop-in prices for visitors, contact us on WhatsApp or by phone (+90 552 646 56 14).
