From the reviews
I started at Instinct Muay Thai last June at 195lb, looking for a change. Today, I’m 165lb, but the weight loss is only a product of the quality of this gym. As I approach my one-year anniversary, I’m reminded of a quote from one of my favorite shows: "The dictionary defines superlative as: of the highest kind,…
Instinct Muay Thai is a fantastic school! My two sons have learned so much and genuinely look forward to every session. The coaches are outstanding! They create a supportive, disciplined, and fun environment where the kids truly thrive.
This gym is incredible! From day one, the atmosphere has been welcoming and positive. The coaches are experienced, patient, and always willing to help — perfect for beginners like me. The classes are challenging but fun, and I leave every session learning something new.
I’ve been training here since the gym opened and it is one of the few things I look forward to doing every single week. I get a great work out in while learning a skill (which makes it feel like less of a work out 😄). The coaches are approachable, kind, and most importantly, they care.
New to muay thai? Start at Instinct Muay Thai
Instinct 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 Instinct 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 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.
