From the reviews
Spartan is a fantastic place to train. I’m really happy I found it. I can’t say enough about the staff. They all are very approachable and knowledgeable. The atmosphere from the members cultivates a teamwork philosophy where everyone is genuinely interested in elevating each other.
Spartan Nation is the absolute BEST gym I have ever joined! This is only my second month, but already I feel like Spartan Nation is a "safe space" for me to learn.
I signed myself, my wife and our 3 boys up at Spartan Nation. Great school. We take the grappling classes, striking classes and often workout there too. The coaches are friendly, take time to explain things and are wonderfully patient with all the kids during.
I've tried out over a dozen different gyms in across the country and even in different countries such as Brazil and Mexico. I've been to some of the "top" gyms in Arizona such as MMA lab and Fight ready that have had some of my favorite fighters from the UFC train there.
New to muay thai? Start at Spartan Nation Combatives and Fitness
Spartan Nation Combatives and 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 Spartan Nation Combatives and 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.
