From the reviews
I love this place!!!! me and my family have trained with Mario for over 3 years. we have learned a lot since the start and have gotten in shape mentally and physically. i recommend everyone to join! my kids have been disciplined and have had there confidence up and have learned how to defend themselves!
This place is so awesome!! You don’t just gain more conditioning but you also learn to apply everything as life lessons. It’s such a welcoming environment and I’ve been so attached since the first day I’ve step foot in here. Mario is a great-trustworthy teacher and this place is so family oriented!
This place is wonderful. We took our two young boys and it was so much more than I had expected. Not only is it great getting the boys moving but they are learning discipline, confidence , respect, and many valuable life lessons. I feel like they are really developing character along with strength.
Wanted our kids to get some good defensive training and we are so glad to have found Coach Mario. Tons of variety with the workouts, you never get bored and the hour flies bye. Very family friendly.
New to muay thai? Start at Quinones Muay Thai
Quinones 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 Quinones 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.
