Meghan Gilbert

Teaching has always been part of who I am — from dance and history to kickboxing.

I focus on training girls and women because their confidence is constantly tested, and rebuilding it matters.

With every kick, punch, and drop of sweat, my students leave stronger, prouder, and more empowered. They are a force, and I’m honoured to teach them. Hope to see you in class soon.

“After every sweaty class, students leave with heads high, smiles wide, and a deeper sense of confidence.”

No, the classes are for all levels. Kickboxing lends itself to students of all levels working together. Classes are structured by age rather than experience.
What should I wear?
Wear something you can move in like workout wear or stretchy shorts and T-shirts. No socks or shoes are needed – we kickbox in bare feet.
Do I need to purchase equipment?
Nope. We have gloves you can borrow. If you would like to purchase your own, we can help you find the right pair.
Where are your classes?
We have a brand new studio, located at 49 Glen Road in Hamilton, Ontario. Click here for Google Maps.
How often are the classes?

Is this a fighting class?
No. While you will learn many of the same strikes and kicks, there will be no fighting; you will hit the bags and pads only.
Is this a self-defence class?
No. While you will learn strikes and kicks that would be useful in self-defence, this class is for strength, conditioning and fun. If you are interested in self-defence classes, please connect with me for options.

YES!! A million times yes! We are a safe, supportive space. Kickboxing is for everyone.
