From the reviews
Fantastic gym! Owner and Coach Ignacio is a Muaythai champion with lots of experience training students. I've been coming here ever since they opened. KO1 Roundhouse uses a combination of Muay Thai techniques, cardio, circuit, weights, and strength training. You get a little bit of everything.
This is a really great spot, the instructors are very encouraging and willing to help with technique corrections. The gym is the cleanest gym I have ever been to, they are vacuuming, mopping constantly and even wipe down pads and equipment after every class. It's a small space so classes fill up quickly.
Super excited about this gym! It’s one of the few that offer Muay Thai in the Oakland area and so far the classes have been excellent. A great combination of cardio, sparring and instructors take time to teach technique
This was the best workout I’ve had all year! I loved being pushed and seeing how far my mind could go. In just 30 minutes, I burned over 400 calories. I’ll definitely be back!!
New to muay thai? Start at KO1 Roundhouse
KO1 Roundhouse 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 KO1 Roundhouse
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.
