From the reviews
BEST GYM EVER, I PROMISE. Such a family feeling to the gym. You'll never find a better coaching staff and managment anywhere else, These people care and they will/want to help you reach all your goals. IF YOU WANNA FIGHT COME HERE, IF YOU WANNA LOSE WEIGHT OR GAIN WEIGHT COME HERE.
This is the greatest place on earth! I truly love all of the staff Coach Julian, Coach Rob, and Coach Martin. I love all the people who have helped me improve and become a better person. This gym is full of friendly and great people.
Run, don’t walk to 805 MMA. I moved here from NJ 6 months ago and was in search of a new boxing trainer. Mitch has been AMAZING. He goes at your pace while still pushing you to reach your potential. He is an amazing trainer that will meet you where you are in your fitness journey and listen to your concerns.
I cannot thank 805-MMA enough. My life has completely turned around. Coach :Julian, Martin, Heather, and Rob have been one of the most wonderful people I have ever worked with. I always wanted to work out but I always gave up. I decided to make a change during quarantine.
New to muay thai? Start at 805 MMA
805 MMA 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 805 MMA
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.
