From the reviews
Great small gym on the west side! If you are interested in Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing, MMA, wrestling, or Yoga, they offer it. I personally take their Yoga class on Sunday afternoons. Manny and Carey are awesome! You won’t be disappointed!
Have been to 2 smoker fights now and they a lot of fun with some hard hits. Plan to go back for more
Awesome family owned and managed gym. They do everything from BJJ, Club Wrestling, and kick boxing. They are very friendly and have excellent classes for men, women, and kids.
I started training here six months ago after my friend suggested I check out Animal House, and I can’t say enough good things about it! When I first walked through the door I was honestly nervous since I haven’t ever done combat sports before joining.
New to muay thai? Start at Animal House FC
Animal House FC 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 Animal House FC
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.
