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. There is a TRUE brotherhood in this special place. Grateful for my sons to be able to come up in this gym with positive role models. Thanks Coach Herc Hayes and Top Notch!!!

Best coaches and training partners around. Head coach/owner Mac Ramos makes bad fighters good and good fighters great. Whether you just want to lose some weight or step in the cage this is the place to be. On top of that he charges a fraction of what most gyms charge. Can’t say enough good things about the place!

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. They are passionate about what they do!
I definitely recommend this place for all stages from beginners to professional. They make everyone feel at home!

This gym is the best gym in the area for not only getting in shape, but for learning how to fight and compete. The coaches and fighters here are extremely accommodating and understanding towards your needs and won’t make you do anything you’re uncomfortable with. The people there are quite friendly and always try to help those around them in whatever way they can. If you’re looking for a nice community and a place to actually learn how to fight, top notch is your best bet by far!!!

My experience at TopNotch was awesome!! I had zero experience in any type of combat sport and the coaches and other members were extremely helpful and welcoming making my experience extremely successful. The drills were challenging and they were a great way to get in shape and learn self defense. They are very understanding if you have no experience and are great coaches. Truly happy with my experience at Top Notch!

I loved it! Only trained 6 months so far but its been an awesome experience. It's like a family at top notch. Coaches are awesome and everyone is always there to help you grow whether you're completely new or have some experience. Definitely recommend! Try their trial you won't regret it.

Great place to get in shape. And actually learn to fight if that’s what you want. Coaches and fighters there are good at what they do. They will get the best out of you for sure. As long as you put in the work. Overall one of the best gyms in the Chicagoland area. That’s my experience.

I've been with team top notch for about 3 years. I've learned so much about myself emotionally and physically. I've learned I'm stronger then I had believed. I've also learned I can succeed in anything I put my mind to. Thanks to top notch and the family and friends I have made there I made it through a lot of tough times. Having people to talk to and a place to workout my frustrations helped a lot. I don't see boxing, Muay Thai, kicking boxing, grappling, or MMA just as fighting. To me there ways of learning discipline, hard work, team work and dedication. Thanks

I took advantage of a deal they offered and signed up for 25 classes of mixed training. I also enrolled my 2 boys, 10 & 12, as well. After just 1 visit, I'm hooked. Matt, the trainer, was very professional and he knew his stuff. He was patient and informative. The exercises we did to warm up, was a workout by itself. He then gave us a complete tutorial on boxing and proper technique. I recommend Top Notch to anyone looking to learn about Mixed Martial Arts or looking to just get in better shape. Awesome place.
