From the reviews
I had done kickboxing a couple years ago and was looking to get back into it and improve my regular fitness overall. I have no shame in admitting I could barely do a pushup when I walked into this gym. Two months in and it's a different story! The best part about this gym hands down are the people.
Love Love Love this gym! Me and my wife have been attending their boxing fitness classes for the past few weeks now. All their staff are warm, friendly and very welcoming. The energy is amazing. The workouts are insane and a lot of fun.
Joining Champion Boxing & Fitness was the best decision I ever made for myself! I came in unhappy with my fitness level and looking for a place to get a full-body workout. Champion is all that and more! The classes are fast, intense, and leave me feeling stronger and more fit than when I came in.
Amazing People, Amazing Training and Amazing Atmosphere! CUSTOMER SERVICE: Arrived, and two people welcomed me. Little by little, everyone took some time to greet me. Made me feel part of a family I never knew.
New to muay thai? Start at Champion Boxing & Fitness
Champion Boxing & 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 Champion Boxing & 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.
