From the reviews
I’ve been a member for an entire year now… wow absolute best experience from day 1!! The coaches, staff and community have been the biggest blessing& I’m so grateful I was able to step out of my comfort zone to try a new sport!
This is my second round with MTK Gym after taking almost a year off due to medical reasons. The team remembered and welcomed me with open arms and encouragement. Today is a great example of their attentiveness and treating members like family.
Training at MTK with Coach David has been truly life-changing. This is more than just a gym—it’s a place where you build discipline, confidence, and mental strength. Coach David is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Muay Thai.
I’ve been training here for two months, and it already feels like home. This gym is more than a place to work out. It’s a community built on respect, discipline, and real care for the people who walk through the door. The coaches are exceptional.
New to muay thai? Start at Muay Thai Kickboxing Gym
Muay Thai Kickboxing Gym 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 Muay Thai Kickboxing Gym
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.
