Mario is one of the most in detail personable coaches I have ever had the privilege to work with, I walked into red planet an overweight depressed 16 year old with no drive or passion, Mario cultivated my personal growth more than I could have ever hoped, Mario not only instilled a love for martial arts, but a…
Great pricing and a great coach! You will learn how to be a fighter and also will make you a disciplined person. Highly recommend.
Training with Coach Mario at Gleason’s Gym has been an incredible experience. Coach Mario is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and motivating. He breaks down boxing techniques in a way that makes them easy to understand while still pushing you to improve every session.

New to muay thai? Start at Red Planet Boxing and Muay Thai
Red Planet Boxing and 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 Red Planet Boxing and 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.
