From the reviews
If you want to learn authentic Muay Thai and Dutch style kickboxing at any level. North Shore Muay Thai Academy Lynn is the place to be at. Marc is experienced at teaching beginners and training fighters from amateur to pro.
I’ve been really enjoying NSMT after joining about a month ago, having had prior Muay Thai experience at other gyms. There is a great variety of class offerings and times in the evenings, the people are welcoming and respectful, and Marc (as noted in other reviews) brings a lot of experience and energy to his coaching.
I have known Mark Meltzer since high school. I have trained with him at North Shore Muay Thai Academy in both group and private classes. Mark is a phenomenal coach and a stand up guy! Whether you are a beginner or a champion his attention to detail will make you better.
North shore Muay Thai is the perfect gym for strikers. Students and coaches are committed and passionate. The space is gorgeous, with a ring, a matt, bags, plenty of Muay Thai equipment... also there is a real weight lifting gym, cross fit circuits and equipment. They are also so friendly and welcoming.
New to muay thai? Start at North Shore Muay Thai Academy
North Shore Muay Thai Academy 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 North Shore Muay Thai Academy
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.
