From the reviews
This is a really solid place to train. I started a few months back and I love the variety of classes that work well with my schedule. I've tried boxing, muay thai, and jiu jitsu. They're tough & a ton of fun. I'm out of shape; but I'm stoked to come back with City Boxing.
Can’t recommend CB enough. Expert coaches who invest in you and help you get where you want to be. They foster a welcoming atmosphere for all experience levels. As a woman I have especially loved training here not just because of the amazing staff but fellow gym-goers (men and women) who help you elevate your game.
Love this gym!! I can’t say enough great things about the trainers and the clients. Especially as a female and first timer boxer, everyone has made me feel included and has my best interest at heart. I’ve learned a lot from taking classes and doing personal training.
Training (jiu jitsu) here has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The coach (Baruch) is very patient, helpful, and knowledgeable. He makes certain that safety is a priority and pushes us to become better. What’s most impressive is his humility.
New to muay thai? Start at City Boxing
City 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 City 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.
