From the reviews
First off- I am a bigger girl looking to lose weight, build some confidence and be able to defend myself if needed. In addition to those things I've really been struggling with stress and anger.
PMT has some of the most experienced and dedicated people you will meet in Muay Thai. My brother, son and myself are members and love the atmosphere, training regimen and training partners. Its not a chore or "routine" to workout here it has become a can't miss activity.
I have been training Muay Thai for 10 years. The coaches at Peoria Muay Thai have the knowledge and the understanding of the art. They use thier holistic techniques to train everyone to improve thier skill level and overall fitness.
The best and by far most experienced Muay Thai instructors/competitors in Peoria all coaching and training in a gym dedicated to Thaiboxing. I love being a part of this gym for the extremely competitive but very respectful and welcoming atmosphere.
New to muay thai? Start at Peoria Muay Thai
Peoria Muay Thai 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 Peoria 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.
