From the reviews

My family and I have been training with Zac for about 4 years now. I am truly grateful to have such a good group of people to train with. Coaches Jeremy, Selina, Chris, Forest and Ryan add so much value to the team of highly qualified teachers.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Sep 2019

I've trained at a lot of martial arts gyms, and I'm happy to be able to train consistently at Premier. When I first expressed interest in enrolling I was recovering from surgery, and the team was more than accommodating to my needs at the time.

★★★★★ — Rinna, Feb 2023

This place is a hidden gem. Managing to survive to my late 20s by never joining a sport or able to walk to my bathroom without breathing heavily this place made it possible for me. This gym is small but gives out a very family friendly vibe which made it easier for a beginner like me.

★★★★★ — Kim, Jan 2019

Premier Fight and Fitness is the best gym I’ve had the pleasure to train at, hands down! I wanted to begin learning Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu after coming from a boxing background, and I could not have found a better place.

New to muay thai? Start at Premier Fight and Fitness

Premier Fight and Fitness 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 Premier Fight 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.

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.
