From the reviews
This is an amazing gym! Everyone is very friendly and helpful so it is a great place for all ages to start with martial arts but at the same time there is a nice group of people who train seriously. The trainers genuinely care for their students.
Cooper’s gym is the place to be if you want, serious professional martial arts training. I’ve been training for a year & not only has my combat abilities improved significantly, my confidence, respect & discipline has too. I highly recommend Cooper’s gym.
Cooper’s is not just gym where you get a great workout. It’s a gym where you learn and work to perfect the techniques of boxing and kickboxing. At the same time, you will push your body and mind beyond what you ever imagined.
Great boxing and Muay Thai gym for beginners and advanced martial artists. Coaches are friendly and push you to do your best.
New to muay thai? Start at Cooper's Kickboxing and Muay Thai Gym
Cooper's Kickboxing and Muay Thai Gym 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 Cooper's Kickboxing and Muay Thai 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.
