From the reviews
Highly recommended! I just joined the gym and I am very pleased with the professional level that this gym brings. I signed up for Muay Thai class, and they were packed with good workouts and good combinations. I also learned a lot during sparring too. All participants were very respectful during sparring.
Highly recommend. We have been bringing our team to Fight and Fitness in Garwood NJ to train with Coach Walter and his team for some time. Cannot be happier with the effect it has had on our team's grappling, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai and overall confidence and competence.
You should definitely join Fight and Fitness MMA! I started training there in October after taking a break since May due to a fractured wrist, and I couldn't be happier with my decision.
I am on my fourth class for Brazilian Jujitsu and I love it! Walt and all of the instructors are very friendly and are patient with you. Any questions you have or seeing the move over again they’re all willing to show you how it’s done. There’s no shame here, it’s all a great learning experience.
New to muay thai? Start at Fight and Fitness MMA
Fight and Fitness MMA 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 Fight and Fitness MMA
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.
