From Members to Coaches: The heart of g.i.r.l.s. gym

At G.I.R.L.S. Gym, we believe in the power of community and the incredible potential within each of our members. One of the inspiring aspects of our martial arts academy is our approach to hiring coaches. Instead of looking outside for instructors, we nurture talent from within our ranks, allowing our most passionate members to step into coaching roles.

One of the many things that set our coaches apart is their genuine desire to help others grow. Long before they took on official coaching roles, these individuals demonstrated a commitment to supporting their fellow members—sharing tips, encouraging progress, and fostering a welcoming environment.

Our coaches aren’t just knowledgeable— they’re dedicated martial artists who prioritize their own training and growth. Each coach maintains a consistent schedule, recognizing the importance of having a well rounded skill set.  That is why you'll see them training in both Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxing classes.  This commitment to training in both of these disciplines not only sharpens their skills but also elevates the learning experience for our members.

In addition to their martial arts training, our coaches invest time into enhancing their coaching skills through monthly training sessions. This commitment ensures that they stay updated on the latest teaching techniques and best practices, allowing them to deliver the highest quality instruction to our members.

Before stepping into a coaching role, our members must reach a high level of proficiency. In Jiu Jitsu, this means achieving a purple belt, while in Kickboxing, they must attain Level 5. This ensures that our coaches have a solid foundation in the disciplines they teach, allowing them to offer valuable insights and guidance.

At G.I.R.L.S. Gym, our coaches are more than just instructors; they are role models who inspire others to push their limits and pursue their martial arts journey. We take pride in cultivating this homegrown talent, and we are excited for them to continue to share the passion and expertise they bring to each class.
