From the reviews
Today was my first class at church street boxing gym and it was AMAZING&INTENSE!! My instructor was Teon, who was very hands on and attentive! He watches your every move and as well as make corrections when your doing a movement wrong which i LOVED because this was my first time in a long time.
This gym is perfect for beginners who want to grow into professional Muay Thai kickboxers while learning authentic Muay Thai boxing. I’m truly impressed by the environment.
The gym is fantastic. I went to 15-20 classes and I was pushed to the limit each one. The instructors are all professionals with great personalities. The classes are usually small enough so that the instructor can walk around and give individual criticism for each student.
Great place! Great stuff! Was a pleasure to talk to Shanon Mora who explained everything very well, about both locations, holiday deals, classes. She made me feel to come back to this place and we are definitely coming back soon. They have all types of classes and great personal trainers (recommending Justin).
New to muay thai? Start at Church Street Boxing Gym
Church Street Boxing Gym comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Church Street Boxing Gym
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.
