From the reviews

Energy is my second home and a great place to build a community. This is not just a gym but it’s a family everyone has amazing vibes and is so welcoming. No matter what the goals are, Coach Chris is willing to help and every day has something different.

★★★★★ — Liz, Oct 2024

If you’re looking for an alternative to a traditional gym, this is the place to be. I found Energy Fitness & MA in my search for a place where I could stay active without going to a traditional gym since I find those gyms intimidating and boring.

★★★★★ — Katherine, Aug 2024

Great place to learn self defense, jiu jitsu, wrestling, muay thai, mma and more. Also great for strength and conditioning and general weight loss goals. There is something for everyone here, especially those looking for an intense workout or those who are interested in the martial arts, competitors and hobbyists…

Your first muay thai class at Energy Fitness & Martial Arts

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.
