From the reviews
I've never been to a gym that didn't have a very welcoming and safety oriented culture but JWF is the best of the best in culture, instruction, and safety. All the coaches and other members are extremely friendly and supportive. Professor James is especially great with the kids team.
My kiddos have gone here for around 7 months. Coach James is so encouraging and has helped my children thrive and fall in love with the sport. My kids look forward to BJJ days and happily show off their skills. My 7 yr old daughter has really thrived and now has confidence she never had before.
Family has been going for a few years now and always a good experience. James is a great coach for adults and kids. My young son has a basket fell of medical problems, all of which are treated with respect.
My wife and I have visited 4 different gyms before landing on James White Fitness. The first place we went, the owner couldn't remember our names after being there 6+ months and that didn't sit right with me.
Your first muay thai class at James White 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.
