From the reviews
I grew up in the area and now am living near and training in Austin TX. I’m an undefeated amateur mma fighter and am visiting my family back home, and I decided to check out this gym just to get a workout and some rolls in, then I had an awesome experience at this gym that exceeded expectations.
I have been training Muay Thai and Kickboxing since 2019, I’ve traveled all over the east coast experiencing different gyms and let me say Rigoro is top notch. The facility has a beautiful lay out that is professionally kept, above all the instruction is world class.
The best gym to come to Rockland. Owner and head coach Ricky, is a honest , friendly and professional guy. He will help you the goal you want and will motivate you to do more. From the kids class to the adult class to the fight team classes, it will completely transform you. I highly recommend trying a class.
Absolutely amazing Jim for children and adults. Coaching is unmatched with the opportunity to begin at the novice level and grow your skill set to the point where you can fight with the same coaching staff in madison square garden! if you're not looking for the competition aspec, that's all fine and good.
New to muay thai? Start at Rigoro Gym
Rigoro Gym 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 Rigoro Gym
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.
