From the reviews
I met Simon and Dianne about 4 months ago and was a beginner at boxing. They both immediately made me feel welcome, safe and comfortable. It can be scary to start up something new but they truly care and will put the time and effort into helping everyone!
I started boxing with Dianne and Simon as an outlet from life events. After just one class with Dianne, I was hooked! Dianne and Simon have created a welcoming, safe, and knowledgeable community where all levels and backgrounds are accepted and taken care of.
Always a great workout and fantastic atmosphere when I step in the gym. If you’re looking to partake in boxing or kickboxing I would say look no further. With a warm welcoming crew you will fit right in. If you are a beginner or an advanced fighter we have class for everyone. We even have classes for the kids.
Fantastic gym with amazing coaches! My kids and I always feel welcome, encouraged, and motivated. It’s the perfect place for families to learn, train, and have fun together.
New to muay thai? Start at Buettner Boxing
Buettner Boxing 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 Buettner Boxing
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.
