From the reviews
At Arcaro I was able to grow my self-esteem and confidence through my body with the use of functional patterns. As a longtime competitive boxer, the wear and tear from the sport was taking a toll on my body and I had extreme back pain to the point where I felt as though I had no other option but to quit competing.
I’ve been going to Arcaro for a little over a year now, and it has been one of the most rewarding journeys for me. This is the only gym I’ve ever been consistent with, particularly because every class I’m learning and building on techniques and pushing myself to new thresholds with the support of each of the coaches…
Where to start...I have been part of this community since 2015 and could not speak more highly of Tricia Arcaro as well as her talented coaches. Most importantly, working with Tricia through her executive private coaching for the last 8 years has provided me with not just boxing experience, but an incredible set of…
Arcaro Boxing has completely changed my perspective on fitness! As someone who finds traditional gyms uninspiring, I was thrilled to discover the excitement and energy of boxing. The coaches are incredibly passionate and dedicated, ensuring each class is engaging.
New to muay thai? Start at Arcaro Boxing
Arcaro Boxing 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 Arcaro Boxing
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.
