As someone who has been interested in practicing Muay Thai for many years, I can't express how grateful I am to have found this place. Every session I'm blown away by both the sense of community and the individualized attention from the coaches (something that's consistent regardless of skill level, or, in my case,…
Great atmosphere! All levels of experience welcomed. Amazing workout! Awesome coaches!! Definitely worth it!
Came into town for a few weeks and needed a place to train. Arrived and it exceeded expectations. The coach was very welcoming and knowledgeable which allowed me to feel right at home in the gym. The facilities were clean and well maintained. If I'm ever in town again this will be the first place I go back to.
New to muay thai? Start at Handsome Muay Thai
Handsome 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 Handsome 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. 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.
