From the reviews
I'm really glad we decided to give this place a shot and felt compelled to write a review after class today. You always hear the bad things about places like this and never when anything goes well.
Where do I begin? I found this hidden gem in order to lose some weight and to teach myself some self discipline. I slowly realized I became in love with the art of Muay Thai due to Nine Realms. The Coaches and the atmosphere were so welcoming. Everyone is super friendly.
The coaches make you feel really comfortable and everyone is so helpful and inviting. For the first time, I really look forward to working out. The coaches encourage you to push yourself, while making sure your form is correct so you feel confident in your movements.
I have been training at nine realms for 2 years now. I can honestly say that you will not find a better gym that offers you as much as nine realms. This is a gym for all ages but you better come to work. The competition that we have at our gym is top notch and will only make you a better competitor.
New to muay thai? Start at Nine Realms MMA
Nine Realms MMA 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 Nine Realms MMA
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.
