The classes they run
“PFMA offers an inclusive, encouraging atmosphere for all skill levels working on fitness goals.”
“My kids love the beginner Muay Thai class and I get to do boot camp at the same time.”
“Honestly the name boot camp doesn't do the classes justice because the coaches provide a lot of one on one attention, feels more like personal training for a fraction of the cost.”
“I get a great workout and feel like the staff professional and they really know their stuff!”

From the reviews
Send your kids here!!!! My son was experiencing bullying and a drastic drop in self esteem before enrolling at PFMA. We had tried other "martial arts" places here in town and they just didn't.... seem to actually care. They cared about money!!!! PFMA kids class is outstanding.
My family joined to get in some exercise. It has been a great experience. My kids love the beginner Muay Thai class and I get to do boot camp at the same time. I get a great workout and feel like the staff professional and they really know their stuff!!
Wow, PFMA always completely out does themselves by throwing the best shows in Bellingham! So much respect to the coaches and owners for doing their best for the community, and bringing confidence to every person they meet! 10/10 would visit again!
Our family has been going here since they opened for Muay Thai and fitness bootcamps. We love it and we are here to stay!
New to muay thai? Start at Pure Fitness Martial Arts
Pure Fitness Martial Arts 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 Pure Fitness Martial Arts
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.
