From the reviews
This is a great place for any person of all ages, gender, and ability. They offer personal training, group classes, as well as weight machines and treadmills. The staff are all extremely skilled and knowledgeable in all things MMA, fitness, and diet.
Absolutely the best gym in the area! Elite MMA in Westlake Village is a game-changer. The facility is spotless, well-equipped with everything you need (including a full gym, sauna, and showers), and the coaching staff is top-notch—knowledgeable, motivating, friendly, and great with all levels.
I’ve been a member at Elite MMA for over 11 years. I have gotten to know Randy, the instructors, and trainers at the gym very well. They are not only world class and knowledgeable in their respective fields, but most importantly, good people.
An excellent MMA gym, that also has free weights and weight training equipment along with professional trainers if needed. Bas Rutten, MMA Hall of famer, teaches a couple of times a week. There are bag classes and Rodrigo Carvalho , a 4th degree black belt, has attracted a great group of guys and girls.
New to muay thai? Start at Elite MMA Gym
Elite MMA 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 Elite MMA 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.
