World Class Instruction, Close to Home
Our Markham gym runs the same programs, with the same coaching standards, as our original gym in Scarborough: real competitors teaching in a chill and laid-back atmosphere. You do not need to be in shape or have any experience to start. Come for fitness, confidence or self-defence; if you want to compete one day, there is a fight team to grow into.
Adults can train at lunchtime or in the evening, and kids and youth classes run after school. Every class shows its level, so you always know which ones are right for you.

Training at Trillium MMA Markham: Common Questions
I am a complete beginner. Where do I start?
Pick the program that interests you most and come to any class marked All levels on the lists above. No experience is needed, and you progress at your own pace. Not sure which one fits? Send us a message and we will help you choose.
Do you teach boxing in Markham?
Boxing is one of the styles blended into our kickboxing classes, together with Muay Thai and Sanda, so you work on your hands in every class. Kickboxing runs 6 times a week in Markham. We do not run a stand-alone boxing class.
Is there an MMA class in Markham?
Yes: MMA runs once a week in Markham, on Monday, and you can combine it with kickboxing and jiu-jitsu through the week. Our Scarborough gym has more MMA classes.
Do you run self-defence classes?
Self-defence is part of every program rather than a separate course: striking in kickboxing, takedowns and control on the ground in jiu-jitsu, and both together in MMA.
Where do I park?
Parking is free and on site at 343 Rodick Rd, Unit 2, at Rodick Rd & 14th Ave. The map and a directions button are at the bottom of this page.
What does it cost to try?
Adults: $30 for a one-week trial of our MMA, kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu classes in Markham. Kids and youth: the first class is free. Get started or see membership pricing.
