From the reviews
Coaches are amazing, really professional, one of the best gym that I been try it
Started training here a couple of weeks ago, and it's been a great experience. This is an excellent MMA gym, highly recommend it to anyone looking to train. The instructor, Ned, is a world class teacher, and the facility is well-designed and kept super clean.
My son looks forward to Tuesdays and Thursdays every week! He loves Muay Thai and Coach Ned! If you don't know now you know. Stop in for your first class!
Hands down the best spot for kids or adults. Both my daughters have been coming here 3 months almost and they LOVE IT here. Coach Ned is on point.
New to muay thai? Start at GFAMMA Gladiator Fight Academy
GFAMMA Gladiator Fight 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 GFAMMA Gladiator Fight 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.
