From the reviews

Probably the best decision I've ever made regarding my physical fitness was to be trained by Coach Jaffer to learn kickboxing. I started out with private lessons then trained with the team once I got better. Coach knows what he's talking about and has the experience, physique, and belts to back it up.

★★★★★ — Francis, Aug 2016

I've been training with Coach Jaffer for almost 6 years. I have never had a session that didn't challenge me, and I always leave every session feeling accomplished. He has a down to Earth friendly personality that makes you feel comfortable and want to give it your all. He always has your best interest in mind.

★★★★★ — Lisa, Jul 2016

I have been to a few different gyms, but after coming to BGMT, I will never step foot in another gym. Jaffer is not only a knowledgable trainer, he genuinely cares about all of his clients, like we're part of his family. He pushes people to do and be their best, because he knows what they're capable of.

★★★★★ — Samantha, Aug 2016

There are not enough good things I can say here about Jaffer and bGMt as a whole. Once you join, you're a part of the bGMt family, no matter what you joined for. Whether you want to fight, study, or just work out, you will accomplish your goals here.

Your first muay thai class at BGMT Fitness and Kickboxing

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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
