The classes they run
“One of my favorite things about the gym is when I first started training there they have a “Foundation” classes which are only for beginners.”
“There are multiple classes a day so it’s easy to get your training in, even with kids!”
“they also offer affordable private lessons and the coaches are passionate, you don’t feel rushed out the door, they are always available for questions and instruction.”
“Hands down the best place in Boise to get in shape, learn from world class martial artists, but the best part is the culture.”
“If you stick around, you may end up training with some of the professional mma fighters, which (for me) increases an appreciation of what they do in the octagon.”

From the reviews
I have been training here for over 3 years now and feel really lucky to have found this place. It’s a big gym that feels like a small gym where culture is inclusive, friendly and fun. I came in not knowing anyone or anything, and ended up making some of my best friends.
A month into my membership I am pleasantly surprised. Everyone is much more friendly and helpful than I expected. To be honest I looked at other facilities first figuring this one was for high level and competitive MMA folks. While highly skilled athletes are there, most participants are regular folks like me.
I joined back in October, and I’ve got to say I’ve tried other places, but this gym is the most legit in my eyes. You leave practice feeling like you learned something useful, and the coaches are excellent. It is fairly inexpensive in my opinion for what you get out of it.
I have been training at SBG Idaho since 2017. The owner, coaches and staff are passionate about what they do and masters in their art. I love the atmosphere and community. What I like most of all is that I am having fun and see growth in my skill. Whatever your flavor, it’s happening here.
New to muay thai? Start at SBG Idaho
SBG Idaho 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 SBG Idaho
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.
