From the reviews
Absolute best martial arts gym in Yuba City! I absolutely love the women’s class, an amazing workout and far surpassed my expectations for what fitness kickboxing is. You’ll definitely get a great workout with some amazing ladies surrounding you! Coach Mike is a phenomenal instructor.
Great gym! Great people! Great training! I have been here for about 5 years now and constantly learning and developing. When I first moved back to this area, it was hard finding a spot to train at again and ever since I have joined NorCal Fitness I have never regretted it.
My son has been training with these absolutely amazing coaches for years. I can’t say enough good things about the whole program. They are welcoming to all that come in from the youngest to the oldest members. Knowledgeable, respectful, and the willingness to teach every aspect of their courses.
For several months now, I've been bringing my kids to NorCal Fitness Co-Op (classes are welcoming and well-structured). They are fairly young and admittedly, aren't used to rough play, so compared to other kids, it has been a slower process to overcome the perception that jiu-jitsu is about "hurting people.
New to muay thai? Start at NorCal Fitness Co-op
NorCal Fitness Co-op 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 NorCal Fitness Co-op
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.
