From the reviews
My 3 boys have been training here for 3 years and we absolutely LOVE it! Not only are they learning great technique and how to defend themselves, but the instructors also model how to be good people. I'm happy that my boys are learning how to be men of excellent character. Highly recommend!!!
Very welcoming environment & staff. I love coming into the gym. I really enjoy taking a jiu-jitsu class than walking down the hall to cool down with a great yoga flow, & if you need more, they have a massage therapist in the building who is phenomenal!
I have been training here under the family plan with my 3 sons for about a year and a half and could not be more satisfied. The coaches, culture, training partners, and facilities are top notch.
I’ve been training with Coach Reece and Haduko for 4 years now. You couldn’t ask for a better environment to learn and build friendships. I am excited to see the evolution of an already phenomenal establishment adding the Balance Flag on the front doors!
New to muay thai? Start at Balance Studios: Gracie Jiu-Jitsu & Muay Thai
Balance Studios: Gracie Jiu-Jitsu & Muay Thai 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 Balance Studios: Gracie Jiu-Jitsu & Muay Thai
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.
