From the reviews
Awesome gym for a unique fitness experience! Great place to try kickboxing/Muay Thai or train to fight in the ring. The staff/instructors are knowledgeable and the students are friendly. The gym is well maintained and clean. The head instructor is one of the best in the area.
I've been a member of this fight gym for 2 years now. The gym is clean + Coach Eric is dope & knowledgeable. I joined after a recommendation made by a good friend who had trained under Eric for the better part of a decade.
I walked in first time and was welcomed right away from all the members and the trainers. Now I’ve been coming here for a few months working on my fitness. Everyone here is helping each other out to achieve their fitness or martial arts goals. Eric always helps and gives you tips to get better.
RingSport Muay Thai has been my second home since opening day. Not only has Coach Eric taught me Muay Thai for over 10 years, but also served as an astute mentor as I navigated the extremely competitive personal training industry. This only gives me more desire to volunteer & give back to the gym whenever I can.
New to muay thai? Start at Ring Sport Muay Thai & Kickboxing
Ring Sport Muay Thai & Kickboxing 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 Ring Sport Muay Thai & Kickboxing
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.
