IHP COMBAT FITNESS
Here at IHP you can train like an UFC fighter or Professional Boxer without taking punishment like one. Our highly-trained Performance Coaches are very experienced and have the knowledge and skills to provide you with an excellent outcome. Get a great workout in and develop top notch striking skills as well.
One of the modes of training that has always been at the heart of the IHP training methodology has been “hitting the mitts” (i.e. punching and kicking). The development of footwork, cardio, movement skill, and self confidence that comes from learning to hit the mitts is unparalleled.
This is why it’s such a hit at IHP and nationwide.

This is the best gym that I've belonged to. The trainers are so knowledgeable, helpful, encouraging, energetic, and enjoyable. They are people that you want to be friends with after they're done kicking your butt for the day.
