From the reviews
If you're looking to invest in your health, and well-being, top tier has you covered. Great community, with knowledgeable coaches, trainers, and owners who all want to help. Excellent feedback and guidance on your fitness journey! Been going to this gym since Fall '21 I don't think i've done the same workout...
This place has become a second home to me. The workouts are amazing, the owners are super down to earth, the trainers are at the top of their game and always switching it up to keep your body in the best shape it can be, and the community of members - outstanding. It’s such a welcoming atmosphere all around.
Great atmosphere, very welcoming to beginners. This MMA gym has everything.You get out of this gym what you put in. If you’re looking to lose weight, they are ready to help you (get ready to sweat. Likewise, if you are looking to learn how to fight, they are also ready. This gym is for everyone.
Top quality training environment and instructors ! As a beginner, I trained with Mike and was impressed with how accessible, yet challenging he made the workout. Post training sauna access was an added bonus.
New to muay thai? Start at Top Tier GYM
Top Tier 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 Top Tier 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.
