Welcome to our blog! We are excited to take you on a journey highlighting our family-owned gym located in the vibrant communities of Kernersville and High Point, NC. As a father-son duo, we're not just business partners; we are best friends who are both passionate about fitness and committed to empowering our community to lead healthy and secure lives. Our gym offers diverse group fitness classes, personal training, youth and adult martial arts training, and a unique community designed to inspire and uplift everyone who walks through our doors.
Like many families, we saw how our lives transformed through fitness and martial arts. I (Josh) started martial arts in 1995, and my father (Kevin) started kickboxing fitness a year later. It became a way to bond; we discovered the importance of health and well-being through training and exercise. We wanted to create a safe and positive environment where individuals of all ages could experience the same transformation. Hence, our local gym, Edge Fitness LLC, was born in 2016 – not just as a fitness facility but as a family-friendly and safe environment for our community.
From the vibrant streets of Kernersville to the welcoming neighborhoods of High Point, we pride ourselves on being more than just a gym. We are a family, and we extend this family ethos to everyone who comes through our doors. We believe in fostering a supportive and encouraging atmosphere where everyone can thrive, regardless of their fitness level.
At our gym, we believe fitness should be fun, engaging, and empowering. Our group fitness classes encourage camaraderie and teamwork while helping individuals achieve their personal fitness goals.
Our kickboxing fitness classes are dynamic and high-energy, and they help participants punch and kick away stress. These classes combine boxing and martial arts moves to create a full-body workout that improves endurance, strength, and flexibility. For newcomers, we focus on teaching basic techniques in a friendly environment, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and capable as they progress.
Our boot camps are a perfect choice for those who thrive in an energetic environment. These sessions incorporate interval training, strength building, and cardio exercises to maximize effectiveness. Participants can expect a rigorous workout that keeps them on their toes while also offering options at all fitness levels. The camaraderie built during boot camp sessions creates lasting friendships and motivates individuals to push harder.
We also believe in exploring multiple fitness avenues to keep our community engaged. Our "Trainer's Choice" classes feature rotating special workouts the trainer picks for that class, including circuit training boxing, speed and agility, stretch, and beyond. This variety keeps our offerings fresh and allows members to discover new passions and interests, catering to every facet of fitness.
## Empowering Youth and Adults Through Martial Arts
In addition to group fitness classes, we take immense pride in our youth and adult martial arts programs. These programs are more than just self-defense skills; they are about building character and discipline and translating physical strength into mental fortitude. Training in martial arts changed my life. It gave me confidence, self-control, discipline, and lifelong friendships. I love seeing this transformation in the lives of others.
Our youth martial arts classes are designed to instill confidence and resilience in children and teenagers ages 4-15. Through techniques in self-defense, sports kickboxing, and grappling, young learners develop important skills that extend beyond the dojo. They learn about respect, discipline, and the value of hard work—attributes that will serve them well throughout their lives.
Moreover, our instructors are trained to foster inclusivity; every child is encouraged to participate at their own pace. This supportive environment helps in personal development and builds a sense of community, where friendships blossom over shared experiences.
For adults, our martial arts training offers a unique outlet for stress relief while enhancing physical fitness. We provide classes in boxing, grappling, self-defense, and more sport-oriented kickboxing. This approach helps our members learn practical skills while gaining fitness benefits.
Our adult martial arts program emphasizes real-world applications. Participants learn to defend themselves, boosting their confidence and awareness of their surroundings. Whether you're looking to get fit, learn self-defense, or boost your martial arts prowess, we have something tailored specifically for you.
