From the reviews
Digging the new location. Matt and Craig do a great job of running the kickboxing side of things, providing quality Muay Thai instruction and a welcoming atmosphere. They have both morning and evening sessions throughout the week, which run about 90 minutes, so it's easy to fit into your schedule.
I am having an amazing time working with Tinker Training! Matt, created a personalized workout plan that is both challenging and fun, always pushing me to reach my goals without feeling overwhelmed.
My name is Joann and I’m 81 years old. I have been training with Matt for 2 years. Matt has designed a workout that is tailored to me as I have osteoarthritis and have limited movement with my left arm. Matt is very knowledgeable in all areas including food management.
This place is amazing! Super friendly people who train there. Great coaches! The classes don't seem over crowded and the coaches are able to work with you no matter the skill level
New to kickboxing? Start at Madhouse Kickboxing + Tinker Training
Madhouse Kickboxing + Tinker Training 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 Madhouse Kickboxing + Tinker Training
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.
