From the reviews
I love this place it's home away from home! Not being from Colorado pariah mma has been great to my girls and I! From gettting me ready to become a professional mma fighter to training my little girls in self defense and discipline. I have learn so much from drew and the whole staff.
I've been training at Pariah MMA for almost 10 years now. and have been practicing mma for roughly 15 years. The training here is top notch with high level kickboxers, wrestlers, and jiujitsu blackbelts leading the instruction.
After recovering from major surgery on my shoulder I decided to join different type of gym. Took a day off from work and spent the whole day checking out each gym in the springs. I finally found Pariah MMA. It was a welcoming environment and the coaches was patient and full of knowledge.
Best gym to train at. I've been around to a few gyms in different states but Pariah MMA and the family over there are the best hands down. Very welcoming and Drew Lawrence the head coach is a book of knowledge on every aspect.
New to muay thai? Start at Pariah MMA and Fitness
Pariah MMA and Fitness 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 Pariah MMA and Fitness
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.
