From the reviews
From the time I walked in to just get information, I knew I was in the right place. The people are very friendly and not pushy. There is a sense of community there that I didnt think I would find at a boxing gym. Everyone says hello and good bye. While training, they give one on one time every time I go.
If you're looking for a serious gym this is the right place. The coaches know their stuff and all the people at this gym are dedicated and friendly. I was very intimidated to start back up after a lot of time off but everyone was welcoming and encouraging and now I go as often as possible
Greatest gym in the world. I’ve never felt a better atmosphere in a gym. Greg Ardon is not only a legendary/ great trainer but an amazing mentor and coach.
If you are lucky enough to have discovered this gym located in Sunset Park, then you are in for a great experience. There is a friendly and nurturing culture here which has been a tremendous help to me. Trainers and boxers alike are kind, helpful, and respectful.
New to muay thai? Start at Ardon Sweet Science Gym
Ardon Sweet Science 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 Ardon Sweet Science 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.
