From the reviews
I cannot speak highly enough about how incredible this school is. All of the instructors are extremely skillful, masters of their craft and very meticulous in caring for each and every student of any level ... They are also very welcoming and kind!
The instructors are the BEST! I joined as a beginner and the instructors were not only patient and focused on helping me but also totally down to earth. The owners of the school are awesome and I’ve made some great friendships with the other students.
This gym has become like a second home for me. The classes are great and I’m learning so much, but there’s also a great sense of community here. I’m the type of person that always feels inadequate when I try new things but I’m always so encouraged by the instructors and my peers.
Awesome gym been coming here for about 7 months and absolutely love it! They have a little bit of everything and are open 6 days a week, everyone is super friendly and all the coaches are super knowledgeable and helpful and always want to see you get better!
New to muay thai? Start at Elite Training Center
Elite Training Center 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 Elite Training Center
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.
