From the reviews

I think this is an absolute wonderful gym. It really has an old school boxing feel to it. My sons attended the boxing classes and I enjoyed the training they received. Coach Frank and coach Shawn saw that every child got the proper training. There is regular breaks and no child is being pushed over their limits.

★★★★★ — Yonic, Aug 2021

I just received another compliment about what great shape I’m in, so I thought I should give proper credit to LB United. Today I did the 7 am boxing class with Joseph, and the hour flew by before I realized how hard he worked us.

★★★★★ — Teresa, Jul 2019

Love this gym! Great classes in many different disciplines. Everyone is so friendly, you’ll feel right at home whether you’re experienced or brand new.

★★★★★ — Derek, Oct 2023

I read the reviews for this Boxing/MMA gym and that’s what encouraged me to go. I’d always wanted to take up boxing but was hesitant since not many women do it and these gyms are filled with guys so I always felt weird walking in. I took a Muay Thai class this evening and I’m hooked!!

New to muay thai? Start at HardWorx Fitness 4th St.

HardWorx Fitness 4th St. 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 HardWorx Fitness 4th St.

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.
