From the reviews
When I first came to the club, the woman at the front desk immediately told me where everything was and helped me figure things out. And to this day she answers any questions I have. There is a great atmosphere here, you will quickly get used to the new environment and blend in fast!
We’ve had a great experience so far with this MMA Jiu-Jitsu program. My daughter has been attending for about two weeks now, and she genuinely enjoys going to every class—which says a lot. The instructors are very friendly, patient, and clearly know how to work well with kids and teens.
My son has been training at Athlas for several years, and it truly feels like a second home for him. From the moment he started, everyone was welcoming and supportive, which helped him feel comfortable right away. The coaches are professional, patient, and truly care about their students’ growth.
We absolutely love this jiu-jitsu gym! My daughter has not only learned valuable self-defense skills, but she’s also grown tremendously in confidence, discipline, and focus since joining. The coaches are incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and truly care about the kids’ progress—both on and off the mat.
New to muay thai? Start at ATHLAS TRAINING TEAM
ATHLAS TRAINING TEAM 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 ATHLAS TRAINING TEAM
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.
