From the reviews
If you're looking to invest in your health, and well-being, top tier has you covered. Great community, with knowledgeable coaches, trainers, and owners who all want to help. Excellent feedback and guidance on your fitness journey! Been going to this gym since Fall '21 I don't think i've done the same workout...
This place has become a second home to me. The workouts are amazing, the owners are super down to earth, the trainers are at the top of their game and always switching it up to keep your body in the best shape it can be, and the community of members - outstanding. It’s such a welcoming atmosphere all around.
Top Tier is an awesome gym! I’ve been going here for over 4 years now and absolutely love it. The trainers/instructors are fantastic and all the people you meet are fun and kind and helpful. There is no judgement and everyone is very supportive and welcoming. There’s no pretentiousness or cliques to worry about.
Great atmosphere, very welcoming to beginners. This MMA gym has everything.You get out of this gym what you put in. If you’re looking to lose weight, they are ready to help you (get ready to sweat. Likewise, if you are looking to learn how to fight, they are also ready. This gym is for everyone.
New to kickboxing? Start at Top Tier GYM
Top Tier 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 Top Tier 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.
