From the reviews

Great group to train with. Its very welcoming and feels like a family. Everyone is kinda joking and no meat head vibe which is awesome. Come in with a smile, let off some aggression, leave with a smile. Love the place and the atmosphere. Kelly Leo has a big heart for martial arts and his students and it shows.

★★★★★ — Mark, Nov 2017

Summer of 2017, I started taking the Cardio Kickboxing class to get moving and reconnect with my martial arts practice from childhood. Over the last few months, I trained with the owner, Kelly Leo, who worked on my boxing/kickboxing technique while also continuing a workout routine. I went from 205lbs to 184lbs.

★★★★★ — Dee, Feb 2018

Came for the workout (which is always great), left with a whole new set of awesome friends. Such a welcoming and non-judgmental environment for a total kickboxing newbie like myself when I first started taking classes.

Your first muay thai class at Full Throttle 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.

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.
