From the reviews
We live nearby and thought it would be a good idea to have the kids try some version of martial art. This is a nice small gym with a family vibe. This is not the usual kids karate class which is basically babysitting. The team helps teach fundamentals and get the kids worked out instead of just running around.
I joined this gym close to a year and a half ago and it has been one of the best things that’s happened to me. Irv Althouse is extremely knowledgeable and has an extensive background in fight sports.
I just started here recently and everyone has been so welcoming and helpful. Irv is very knowledgeable and motivating. The atmosphere here is great. Not to mention you get a great workout every class.
I started coming here and have become hooked on learning Muay Thai! Trainers are all very knowledgeable and helpful. Truly feels like a family here. I am so excited to keep coming here every week and improving!
Your first muay thai class at Althouse Training Center
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.
