From the reviews
Music City Boxing is THE top tier place to learn boxing in Nashville! Not only did they help me lose some love handles, they actually make sure you’re using proper techniques, the coaches are very professional, and it feels like a family every time you walk into the gym.
One of the best boxing gyms in Nashville. This gym has built a strong reputation not only for its training environment, but also for producing award-winning amateur boxers, USA Boxing elite athletes, and professional fighters. This isn’t just another workout class—it’s for people who truly want to learn how to box.
This gym is a boxer’s dream. I was in from NYC (Morris Park Boxing Club, Bronx) on a one-day trip. I dropped in to get a workout at this amazing gym. Everything you need is here. Coaches on duty were super friendly and super helpful. (Don’t be self-conscious about your age.
Music City Boxing is hands down the best boxing gym in Nashville! The gym is always so clean, there is a wide variety of equipment and a great weights section. The coaches and trainers are top notch and very knowledgeable. Great for all ages, skill levels, and genders.
New to kickboxing? Start at Music City Boxing
Music City Boxing comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Music City Boxing
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. 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.
