From the reviews
Amazing place to train. If you're looking for Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Boxing, MMA or fitness, this place has it. Adlai Cleveland, 10th planet black belt, and Matee Tongbua, a 4x world Muay Thai champion are the head instructors. Adlai is an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled teacher.
I trained at final round for a year and a half while living in Ann Arbor, and it was easily the best gym I have ever gone to. The head instructor was a professional Muay Thai fighter in Thailand and is an exceptional coach. I learned far more under him in a few months than I ever have with multiple years at other gyms.
Final Round is the best gym in the area. I was very out of shape when I started coming, so I was quite nervous about classes. However I had no reason to be hesitant since everyone at the gym was incredibly welcoming and supportive.
I cant say enough about this place. The atmosphere at final round is great. I have been training Muay Thai for about 2 months even though I am not very good everyone in the class is extremely helpful and encouraging.
New to muay thai? Start at Final Round Mixed Martial Arts and Fitness
Final Round Mixed Martial Arts and Fitness 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 Final Round Mixed Martial Arts and 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.
