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!

★★★★★ — Seraina, Nov 2018

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 💪🙌

★★★★★ — Abeal, Aug 2025

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.

★★★★★ — Salina, Nov 2018

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 kickboxing? 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 class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness 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 kickboxing class at GKG-Gil's Kickboxing Gym

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing 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 — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics 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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
