From the reviews
I've been going to Global Martial Arts Academy for the Kickfit class. This is an amazing workout. I needed to be part of a class to achieve the level of exercise I needed. I am not in shape unless you would consider round a shape. I am in my late 40's and not a tiny little 20 something.
The 6 week boot camp kickboxing challenge at Global was awesome. I felt encouraged to tackle a new challenge with an effort I have rarely been able to maintain. With newborn twins going to class was often the few times I left the house throughout the week and I looked forward to it each time.
I started going to Global Martial Arts Academy as part of the 6 week Global Kickfit challenge. The instructors give just the right amount of push while still offering options for those that are lower down on the fitness ladder like myself.
So like I do every year, on January 1st I decided that I really needed to lose some weight. Well this time I actually stuck to it! I drastically changed my eating habits and when My beautiful wife Jackie showed me a Facebook ad for Global Kickfit I jumped on it. So as of today I am down 127 lbs!
New to muay thai? Start at Global Martial Arts & Fitness ️️
Global Martial Arts & Fitness ️️ 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 Global Martial Arts & 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.
