From the reviews

I love everything about D&I, the classes, the trainers, and the community that they have built. Marcus has been training me for years and truly understands my strengths and weaknesses. I just had an amazing, therapeutic sports massage with Nate, and I can’t recommend him enough.

★★★★★ — Lpbarenholtz, Aug 2019

Love this gym. The staff are so nice and supportive. It’s a great atmosphere. I love working with Nate, he is a skilled trainer. His sports massages are top notch and I would not go anywhere else.

★★★★★ — Amy, Aug 2019

I could not love this gym more! It is so much more than just a place to work out, it is a community and a family. Delon, Marcus, Daria, Nate - all the trainers are so fabulous, hard working, motivating and caring. I want to put in a special plug too for Nate's massages and stretching sessions.

★★★★★ — Elizabeth, Aug 2019

I have been a faithful member of D&I Fitness since it has opened and I LOVE it. The trainers and classes are amazing and I have NEVER had to wait for equipment. They have also been great for my teenage son, who has been trying to stay active and in shape. I HIGHLY recommend!!!

New to muay thai? Start at D & I FITNESS

D & I 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 D & I 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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
