Super friendly and positive environment. Everyone there just wants you to be better. The coach is super supportive and very easy to learn from. Solid place. 10/10
Josh is incredibly supportive and friendly, making it perfect for beginners. Takes the time to ensure everyone feels comfortable and learns at their own pace. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to start their martial arts journey. Overall, a fantastic place to train and grow!
I’ve known the owner for a decade and always known him to be very knowledgeable in the subject matter as well as reputable as a business owner. I’ve been enjoying attending the gym especially since it’s the best value for training Muay Thai in the county.
New to muay thai? Start at Galt Martial Arts Academy
Galt Martial Arts Academy 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 Galt Martial Arts Academy
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.
