From the reviews

I used to hateee the gym and gym culture until I came to mmt. I’ve been training Muay Thai for about 10 years here under Coach/owner Frankie who is not only an incredible fighter, but also an incredible person. The love I’ve seen him show to every member truly makes this place feel like family.

MMT is the best gym ever….its more than a gym, it’s a community, a place where you can feel comfortable regardless of your age or fitness level. It’s a place where people encourage you to do better and be the best version of yourself.

★★★★★ — Hanna, Dec 2025

MMT is my home away from home. I’ve met the most incredible people who now seem like family & have had nothing but great experiences. Frankie the owner/Coach has been like a father & brother to me & always gives his shirt off his back to help others.

Your first muay thai class at Mercado Muay Thai & 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.
