From the reviews
This isn’t just a gym, it is a family. My son and I have been members with Relentless for the last 7 years. It is a wonderful atmosphere and the staff make the work outs enjoyable!
While at Relentless for the time that I was there, I made countless friend's and made many memories with the staff and dedicated patrons of the gym. I worked a short time with Jake and enjoyed every minute of it until I foolishly left on my own accord. One thing that I noticed while I was there.
I was hesitant at first to even try reaching out as I was just seeing what hobbies I could start during an intermittent work move. Although the initial phone queries feel a bit disconnected from the establishment and odd, I decided to just go in person for the introductory class.
It’s been a year since I joined the Relentless MMA family and I wanted to share my thoughts on it. Relentless MMA is a amazing gym where you find people from different places with different goals having a great time and being like a family. All the instructors at the gym are absolutely amazing.
New to muay thai? Start at Relentless MMA & Fitness
Relentless MMA & 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 Relentless MMA & 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.
