From the reviews

I've been training with Keanu at Lehigh Valley Thai Boxing, and the experience has been nothing short of incredible. I've gone from 291 to 264 pounds and feel stronger than ever! Keanu is the best in the business, with aggressive rates that provide the best return on investment you can make in yourself.

★★★★★ — Xavier, Aug 2024

I enjoy training with Coach Keanu a lot. Every training session i learn something new to add to my skill set, and it works. Keanu takes a professional approach to his teaching, building new skills from the ground up. Ive been training with Keanu for over a year, and i would not be where i am today without him.

★★★★★ — Caleb, Aug 2024

I’m so grateful to have found Lehigh Valley Thai Boxing. After training elsewhere, Keanu’s coaching really stands out — it’s clear, technical, and motivating. Every class is tough but rewarding, and the community here is incredibly friendly and welcoming.

New to muay thai? Start at Lehigh Valley Thai Boxing and Fitness

Lehigh Valley Thai Boxing and Fitness 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 Lehigh Valley Thai Boxing and 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.

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.
