From the reviews
The best place for physical training! Kyle is extremely patient and a great instructor. Definitely recommend 520 Muay Thai to anybody looking to train.
I recently tried a free trial class at 520 Muay Thai Gym, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and energetic. The trainers, Kyle, is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making sure to provide guidance tailored to every single fighters.
I've trained in multiple different countries and 520 Muay Thai is hand down the best gym I've been to. Kyle and Bryce are excellent teachers and cultivate a culture of brotherhood and hard work. If you have been considering picking up Muay Thai, this is the perfect place to do so.
Coaches are really respectful and helpful. I love the workout and most importantly i have fun learning about the art of muay thai. I really want 520 muay thai grow and get exposure to more people and i would like to thank once again the coaches for training me.
New to muay thai? Start at 520 Muay Thai
520 Muay Thai comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at 520 Muay Thai
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
