From the reviews
I was brand new to all things MMA - never even wrestled in high school. Everyone at Top Notch was super supportive of a true rookie - coaches, veterans, and pros. Whether you just want to get in a little better shape, or go amateur/pro, these are the guys to see.
"NO CITIZEN HAS A RIGHT TO BE AN AMATEUR IN THE MATTER OF PHYSICAL TRAINING ...WHAT A DISGRACE IT IS FOR A MAN TO GROW OLD WITHOUT EVER SEEING THE BEAUTY AND STRENGTH OF WHICH HIS BODY IS CAPABLE" - Socrates I legit stole that quote from @msantiagomma page, lol. Thank you for everything so far coach.
Top Notch is a phenomenal gym. Great down to earth no nonsense environment where the athletes come to put the work in. This place is a no frills joint based on grit, discipline and respectful reverence for the martial arts. The Coaching Staff is 100% experienced, professional and dedicated on point with their TEAM.
I went there as a guest with my cousin for a workout. I visited top notch again and asked if they can let me workout one more time and even though I had already been a guest they let me workout again out of generosity even though they didn’t have to. Very nice And understanding staff.
New to kickboxing? Start at Top Notch Fitness and Boxing
Top Notch Fitness and 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 Top Notch Fitness and 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 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.
