KOTL Kickboxing on-the-Lake

I never thought I’d try boxing — let alone fall in love with it — but KOTL and Dwayne Hinds changed that. Dwayne is an incredible coach: supportive, motivating, and truly committed to helping you improve no matter your skill level. He fosters proper technique while still delivering an amazing workout, and he always knows how to push you just the right amount. I’ve seen real results myself, and it’s been inspiring to watch other members transform as well. I can’t recommend Dwayne and KOTL highly enough.

My younger son didn't want to follow in his older brother's wrestling footsteps, so I knew I had to find him an alternative, preferably in striking. I researched four locations that taught Tae Kwon Do, karate, kickboxing, and Kendo. Dwayne Hinds of Kickboxing-on-the-Lake was my first appointment and after seeing his format I cancelled the other three appointments and enrolled along with my son! I've known many coaches from several sports and Dwayne is the best I've seen. He's good with athletes, men, women, and children, which is a rare skill set to have. I've watched pre-teens (my son included) transform before my eyes in the matter of a few months. One of my best extracurricular decisions. I wish I could make it to all his classes.

Dwayne is awesome! He is good at what he does. Good people and good atmosphere in the gym. You couldn't ask for a better gym and coach. Thank you Dwayne for all you do.

I have been training Muay Thai for the last few years. Coordination has always been an issue form me. I just joined KOTL gym a couple months ago and It has been a pleasure to be a part of this gym and the culture here. Coach Dwayne has been so patient with me getting to know the boxing combos! 😅 The hittfitt classes are super fun too and there is a super fun crew to train with! Not to mention he has many classes and options for all different schedules. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants to get in the best shape of their lives through weight lifting 🏋️ or kickboxing! If your looking for a positive change this gym is perfect for you. He’s got it all! 👊

I spend a lot of time in NOTL and have been practicing Muay Thai for several years. For the last year I have been waiting for the opportunity to visit KOTL specifically for Coach Dwayne Hinds. It's not often that you get the opportunity to train with someone of his caliber and pedigree, so I took the first chance that I got. From my initial call inquiring about training - straight through the minute I walked through the door - Coach Dwayne made me feel welcome and at home in his gym. He offers a wide array of classes and has something to offer everyone from kids and beginners to intermediate and elite practitioners. Every minute of each class is tactical and tailor-made for the participants, and masterfully balances technique and strength and conditioning (drawing upon a lifetime of training across many disciplines). Similar to Coach Dwayne, all of the students at the gym were amazing to train with and extended their hospitality and knowledge as well. KOTL is an amazing community and Coach Dwayne is a motivating and inspiring Coach. What started as one session for myself turned into a daily routine for my wife and kids as well. I look forward to training at KOTL every opportunity I get and would strongly recommend this school to anyone looking to improve upon their physical fitness at any level - or anyone interested in learning or perfecting martial arts. Thank you Coach Dwayne for all that you have done for me and my family, we truly appreciate it and it is an absolute privilege to train with you.
