From the reviews
Love this gym. I have been with these coaches for years. Have learned so much. Class are never boring, always challenging and fun. I have built some incredible friendships. This is NOT your ordinary gym. If you want an awesome workout, learn some incredible skills and be part of an incredible group of people..
I've been training with coach Omar for almost 2 years. Great Muay Thai coach, he will get you from 0 to warrior. The other coaches are amazing too. If you want to start your journey in the martial arts/combat fitness, this is a great place to start. Very clean place and very respectful people.
Great, clean place. All the coaches there are knowledgeable, friendly and approachable.
Good people. You can tell the coaches actually enjoy the sport and aren’t just going through the motions and they r always understanding no matter what skill level your on. Have recommended this place to my friends who are thinking about just staying fit or wanting to learn to fight.
New to muay thai? Start at LI Muay Thai, Kickboxing and Fitness
LI Muay Thai, Kickboxing 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 LI Muay Thai, Kickboxing 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. 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.
