From the reviews
OMG shout out to franc!!! Your awesome!! Very compassionate and understanding! I researched this place online and so grateful I did. Franc responded immediately and invited me and my daughters to try out a session. The session went great! This is exactly what I been looking for to manage my kids weight!
I found this gym while looking for a place to help me get in shape. The gym was full but welcoming! The type of atmosphere where everyone wants to see eachother reach their goals. People with years of experience were happy to workout with beginners.
This is the gym to bring your kids to to build up their confidence and at the same time meet new friends. The Trainers are absolutely great at taking care and training their students.
Our kids love coming to practice. The owner is personable and the coaches are attentive. 10 out of 10
New to muay thai? Start at Arlington Martial Arts - Youth Boxing & MMA Fitness for Kids
Arlington Martial Arts - Youth Boxing & MMA Fitness for Kids comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Arlington Martial Arts - Youth Boxing & MMA Fitness for Kids
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.
