From the reviews
The best Muay Thai gym !!! Great experianced instructors team lead by kru Brian Cleary. Relaxed atmosphere with no judgment but will also push you to do your best and get better. I highly recommend freestyle Muay Thai, no matter your age or level of experiance. this is hands down the best Muay Thai gym in Tampa.
I would give them more stars if I could. The people in the gym are super friendly. Everyone is trying to help everyone. No matter your age, gender, fitness level, skill, you are welcome here. When I first started coming I didn’t have a clue how to throw punch or move around.
FANTASTIC KRU (coach), FIGHTERS, VIBE, PEOPLE (i.e. raw beginners, like me...) Can't say enough good things about FMT and the training program and crew that Kru Brian Cleary has built up over many years.
I trained at Freestyle Muay Thai for almost two months, and it was an incredible experience. The classes are very intense, perfect for those looking for a challenging workout that truly pushes you to your limits.
New to muay thai? Start at Freestyle Muay Thai
Freestyle Muay Thai 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 Freestyle Muay Thai
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.
