From the reviews
I’ve been taking Muay Thai here for about 6 months. Hadn’t ever done any combat sport before in my life. Coaches Eric and Tony are excellent, getting you started with the basics and ensuring proper technique before teaching new things, but always keeping it interesting too.
Best gym in town with the best gym family in town. Different level classes for any goal you have. Want a great workout burning calories while building muscle and learning to properly defend yourself? Real Fighters. Want to learn how to spar? Real Fighters.
Wonderful owners who are passionate about what they do and are very uplifting and encouraging to everyone who attends. My son started training with Real Fighters as soon as he was old enough and it has absolutely shaped him mentally and much as physically. Big change in his attitude and his confidence...
Awesome gym! Been attending the fitness/bag class here fore several years and love it! It's a good workout that's a little different each time so it stays engaging. Even in the non-contact fitness class, the instructors take time to teach proper technique.
New to muay thai? Start at Real Fighters Gym, LLC
Real Fighters Gym, LLC 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 Real Fighters Gym, LLC
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.
