From the reviews

I absolutely love training here. I also take my kids here as well. I won't train anywhere I wouldn't feel comfortable bringing my kids. They have an amazing set of coaches here including guys that regularly travel, train, and fight in Thailand. It's a great gym for any fitness level.

First time here, one of the nicest and most welcoming gyms i’ve been to. Coaches are awesome, patient and supportive. New or experienced people can find a place here, no doubt.

★★★★★ — Trevor, Aug 2025

Was invited by a couple of friends to go and train at Muay Thai of Waco and I’m glad I took them up on the offer. First things first; going to any new gym tends to be daunting. Especially for contact sports if you are new but everyone was incredibly welcoming.

Your first muay thai class at Muay Thai of Waco

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.
