From the reviews
Very friendly and family oriented gym! The coach (Lino Enriquez) is super knowledgeable due to his extensive fight career and genuinely wants to help his students reach their goals. A great place for beginners, fitness enthusiasts and fighters alike. Go check them out, you will not regret it!!!!
Coach Lino (gym owner) takes pride in his gym and students. He is passionate, humble and dedicated to his students and community. He makes sure that everyone gets his time and extra training in the areas that can be improved. He takes time out of his day after classes to spar with them.
Best gym ever. I started training here after I graduated college. I went from powerlifting to training/learning about Muay Thai- and I love Muay Thai better. Coach Lino is also one of the most humble/inspiring people I’ve met. He is also very flexible, patient, and accommodating.
I’ve competed at Main Event for 5 years. Coach Lino runs classes from beginners to more advanced levels for kids, teens, and adults by himself. The passion and effort that Lino has put into running his gym is unmatched and does his best to accommodate everyone that walks into this gym whether you know what to expect…
New to muay thai? Start at Main Event Muay Thai
Main Event 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 Main Event 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. 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.
