Why People Choose True North Kickboxing
Most people don’t struggle with fitness because they are lazy. They struggle because traditional gyms often feel intimidating, impersonal, boring, or hard to stick with.
For many people, the hardest part is simply walking through the door. Workouts can feel awkward, uninspiring, or isolating. You may not see a friendly face. You may not know what to do. You may feel like everyone else already has it figured out.
True North Kickboxing was created to change that experience.
People come to us because:
From the moment you walk in, you are greeted, supported, and coached. You are not just another membership number. You are part of the community.
People come to us because they want:
- A workout that is fun and effective
- Coaches who guide, encourage, and support
- A welcoming environment where they feel comfortable right away
- A sense of community and belonging
- Structure without pressure or judgment
- A place they actually want to come back to

Our Story
True North Kickboxing is a proudly Canadian owned, independent fitness brand with locations across Western Canada.
We are not directed by a corporation owned by a larger conglomerate south of the border. We are locally owned, community driven, and built by people who know their members and care deeply about their experience.
True North was created to offer something different. A place where people feel welcome from day one. A place where fitness is challenging but approachable. A place where community, fun, and real human connection matter just as much as the workout itself.
Across all of our locations, the culture is the same. Friendly. Inclusive. Supportive. A place where people form genuine friendships, train together, celebrate milestones, and grow stronger together.
Why True North Feels Different and How We Support Our Members
Many people come to us feeling:
- Intimidated by traditional gyms
- Unsure where to start
- Out of shape or worried they do not belong
- Burned out from boring workouts
- Nervous about being judged
- Frustrated by past attempts that did not stick
True North exists to remove those barriers.
Our classes are beginner friendly. Coaches demonstrate, explain, and offer modifications. You go at your own pace while still being challenged.
You are encouraged, not yelled at. Supported, not pressured. Guided, not embarrassed.
Our members include people getting back into fitness, people trying something new, people who have never worked out before, and people who want to train with a partner or loved one. Husbands and wives. Mothers and daughters. Fathers and sons. Best friends. People who simply want to move, feel better, and belong somewhere.
Programs and Ways to Train
Programs may vary by location, but all True North Kickboxing studios offer multiple ways to train so you can find what works best for you.
Fitness Kickboxing Classes
High energy, full body workouts that combine kickboxing techniques with cardio and strength training. These classes are non-contact and focused on fitness, not fighting. No experience required
Small Group Weight Training
Structured strength training sessions designed to build lean muscle, improve form, and increase confidence with resistance training. Small group settings allow for personalized coaching and support.
Six Week Challenge
The Six Week Challenge is ideal for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. It is designed for those who want structure, accountability, and a clear plan rather than trying to figure everything out on their own.
Online Kickboxing and Nutrition Support
Live and recorded online classes and nutrition support options for members who want flexibility or prefer to train from home.

Based on your goals, availability, and results, the coach will help recommend the best path forward for you. There is no pressure and no obligation. Just clear guidance and support.

I completed the 6 week challenge at True North Kickboxing and man was it amazing!! I was a little nervous going into this because it was something new for me. However, I immediately lost all nerves as soon as I stepped into the gym. Everyone there was so welcoming and kind. It really is one big family of people who like to punch stuff. The instructors are super encouraging and fun to be around. The challenge itself was a great experience. The community gave me the strength to push through and keep going. Overall, I highly recommend True North for a great time and workout!
