From the reviews
Coach Gil was my coach for over 15 years. I wrote the book "Not Done Yet" this past year & I would like to share the part of me acknowledging Coach. " I ended up being really good at boxing. It became the therapy I needed for many seasons of life. Boxing helped me get my IED under control.
Me and Coach Gilbert go way back when I was six years old boxing out of a small town and Sanger California. He was a young Trainer. I was a young man one of the best amateur trainers out there. He took me a long way in the amateurs at a 94 and four record with over 20 titles.
So awesome to hear that Gilbert has been able to reopen heartbeat. I have followed him from two different gyms I trained with him at LA kickboxing and then later at heartbeat gym Gilbert is a great coach with Real Boxing knowledge.
I trained with Gilbert and Heartbeat Boxing for about five years. It's a family friendly environment while at the same time, trains, some elite athletes. Gilbert has a way of connecting with each of his students that I've never experienced with a trainer. He's great with children and adults of all ages.
New to kickboxing? Start at Heartbeat Boxing, Fight, Fitness, Food, Missouri LLC
Heartbeat Boxing, Fight, Fitness, Food, Missouri LLC 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 Heartbeat Boxing, Fight, Fitness, Food, Missouri LLC
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.
