From the reviews

Tristan (coach/owner) is awesome, welcoming, and makes you feel comfortable. The people that train there make you feel part of the family and are very welcoming and comfortable. If you’re looking to start or continue Muay Thai, this is the gym to do so!

★★★★★ — Louis, Nov 2024

Incredible gym, Coach Scott has a great personality and a very easy to understand way of teaching. The gym also has a nice old school vibe and a very welcoming atmosphere. Anyone trying to get into martial arts, I’d highly recommend this gym.

★★★★★ — Rplayer3143, Jan 2026

Coach T has formulated the Outliers striking system which has a strong emphasis on fundamental striking combinations that uniquely flow and build a solid foundation of Mauy thai fighting and self defense!!! In just a few months he’s taken my fighting, conditioning and self defense to a new level!!!

★★★★★ — Anthony, Oct 2023

Been training here pretty often for 5 months now, amazing coach, great group of people and great environment! Definitely have learned a crazy amount and has changed me for the better. Good amount of competitors actively fighting and pushing each other all while learning traditional Muay Thai.

New to muay thai? Start at Outliers Muay Thai

Outliers Muay Thai 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 Outliers Muay Thai

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.
