From the reviews
Today was my daughter’s 2nd day in the Baby Boxing class. I am impressed with the coaches’ patience, hand-on approach, and high level of engagement. The entire staff exceeded my expectations. My daughter is already counting down the days for the next class. She loves it. I highly recommend APJ!
I’m new to the area and was really lucky to find APJ Boxing. This is real-deal “sweet science” coaching. The coaches know so much and they are eager to share their knowledge with anyone who comes to the gym! This is a fantastic and welcoming place to learn boxing, whether your goals are fitness or competition.
Everything about this place is amazing- the atmosphere, the team, the professionalism, the dedication, the techniques, the location, etc. It is a place of comfort and challenge. A place where dreams become a reality. I watched people physically transform in front of my eyes with weight lost.
Great trainers in this gym they will push you to the limit! I want too add also they will teach you the fundamentals of boxing and will be with you step by step. Coach Kariym will bring out the warrior in you even when you are tired, he pushes you and motivate you to be the best.
New to muay thai? Start at APJ Boxing Club Inc.
APJ Boxing Club Inc. 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 APJ Boxing Club Inc.
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.
