From the reviews
I started coming to SLO Kickboxing about 15 years ago when it was owned by UFC Champion Chuck Liddell. Since that time, the gym has evolved into a great place for people of all fitness backgrounds to break a great sweat and HAVE FUN! The staff at pit.
Pit.Fit is a great place for all levels of fitness and all types of martial arts. My husband and I went there while in college, I was able to do cardio group kickboxing classes with my friends while he was able to grapple, all under the same roof. We both visit anytime we are in town. We love Pit.
The facilities are clean and well maintained and the environment is friendly and welcoming. The instructors are excellent, approachable, and very experienced. The schedule offers different classes for all skill levels.

New to BJJ? Start at Pit.Fit
Pit.Fit comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Pit.Fit
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
