From the reviews
This is the best MMA gym in the area hands down. I've been there for years and the coaching staff is great, extremely knowledgeable, and friendly. My sons has been here for the last 5+ years and it's become a second home. Loves every second of kids BJJ. Great classes for little kids now too.
I’ve been training at this gym for 7 months at this point and so far my experience here has been amazing. This mixed martial arts gym is well suited for all experience levels and is very welcoming to newcomers.
Hi Beacon! Thank you so much for being the most amazing possible training space this past year. I trained boxing and muay thai at Beacon from January 2023 until February 2024, and it broke my heart not to renew my membership there....
I was able to train here twice as a visitor, and I can't recommend the gym enough! The classes are very well structured and instructors have always got an eye on everyone to ensure that everyone is learning well and is safe. I enjoyed the attention to detail and coach Peach's straightforward approach.
New to muay thai? Start at Beacon Mixed Martial Arts and Fitness
Beacon Mixed Martial Arts and Fitness 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 Beacon Mixed Martial Arts and Fitness
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.
