From the reviews
Great Gym! Instructors are motivating, energetic, and happy to help you learn/improve your skills. Good place to start for beginners through advanced. Gym is clean and well maintained. Wonderful community and worth every penny!
Great staff & gym! This is the place to train mma in the area. I’ve been super happy with 1on1 training, Coach Kenny is the man! After six sessions I’ve noticed a lot of progress and am starting to see my six pack again 🙃 Highly recommend checking it out if you want to reach your fitness and mixed martial arts goals 💪🙌
I high suggest giving this gym and workout a try, you won't be sorry. A popular misconception is that you need prior experience and/or training to join. That simply isn't true. Gil and Neveen Sanchez (owners and instructors), along with the other talented trainers, will teach you all the fundamentals you need to know.
I’ve been going to GKG for a few years now doing a steady mix of all classes. Gil and his coaches are the most friendly, and welcoming to those like myself who started with no experience.
New to muay thai? Start at GKG-Gil's Kickboxing Gym
GKG-Gil's Kickboxing Gym comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, 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 to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. 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. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at GKG-Gil's Kickboxing Gym
Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, 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.
