From the reviews
Friendly, non-toxic culture, clean facility... ApexMMA is a welcoming place for all skill levels and ages. Coach Mike is a coach's coach -- he keeps a rigorous pace, but is mindful of burnout; super technical and a true teacher. Highly recommend if you're in the area
Both my children started clases at APEX MMA Gym approximately 6 weeks ago. The classes they have taken at APEX have made an immense impact and improvement in their mental clarity, energy and attitude (both are teenagers and that’s not easy to do!).
You get the Best of both worlds with this new gym! Mike has deep “traditional martial arts roots” But he’s also been part of the MMA community since the late 1990s! He’s fought MMA, but he’s also had “real world experience” bouncing at clubs and doing personal security for A list celebrities.
I have trained with Sensei Mike and can tell you this! He is an amazing instructor! He will teach you discipline, technique, and martial arts skills all while making you sweat and get In amazing shape! You don’t have to take my word for it try giving it a shot!
New to muay thai? Start at Apex MMA Gym
Apex MMA Gym 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 MMA Gym
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.
