Atlanta Kung Fu & Sanda Center

Atlanta Kung Fu & Sanda Center offers a wide variety of classes, including Kung Fu, Sanda and Fitness classes. I have been taking the fitness classes here for over 2 years and I love them.
The current class schedule offers 45 minute cardio Kickboxing classes. The first half of the class usually entails a boot camp style workout before moving to the bags for kickboxing the second half of the class. Each class is different and you never know what Homero has in store for you. I wear a heart rate monitor and my heart rate typically stays in the 160 – 170 range during my workouts and I burn about 450 – 500 calories during class.
Everyone at AKFSC is super nice, friendly and supportive. This is my favorite place to work out. The fact that I have stuck with it for over 2 years is a great testament to them. They are a tad bit far out, but I definitely think that the workout is worth the drive. Stop by and come join me for a workout!

After a year coming here, I figured it was time to update my review.
I’ll start by establishing that I don’t take traditional Kung Fu classes here, but I do come here for the fitness kickboxing classes and they are worth the drive from my home in Sandy Springs. I’m not the most fit person on the planet — I have some challenges — but Russel works with me and makes sure to give me alternate exercises that I can do so that I do not injure myself but I am still getting the full benefits of the work outs. (I have crappy knees).
A typical class is 45 minutes long — after a good stretch, they mix in strength and cardio exercises for warming up (you’ve got to get that heart pumping) before we get into kickboxing combinations. Before you know it, 45 minutes has gone flying by, I’ve worked up an amazing sweat and my heart-​rate monitor tells me I have burned 500 – 600 calories. Two days later, my muscles are screaming at me — which is the sign of a great work out.
The staff is friendly and price is crazy good — plus the timing of classes allows me to get to Kennesaw after work without difficulty. So I will continue to come to AKFSC as long as they will have me — and watch the fat burn off!
