From the reviews
Really amazing Gym!! The trainer was very knowledgeable and allowed students to learn at their own pace. Definitely a 10/10 experience!!
My experience here has been incredible. From day one, meeting my training partners and coaches has been a unique journey. There’s so much respect in everything we do, making it both humbling and welcoming.
Attended the Free Community Self Defense Class, today and I must say that I’m very impressed. The Instructors/Staff were so professional and knowledgeable. The instructions were not only movement involved, but education on how to be more aware in life. This was an awesome, knowledgeable, calm, and friendly experience.
I really enjoy going to the gym! The coaches are friendly and patient with everyone.
New to muay thai? Start at Apex Mixed Martial Arts
Apex Mixed Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Apex Mixed Martial Arts
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.
