From the reviews

I’m lucky enough to travel for work and train at gyms, and Stought PGH is hands down one of the best gyms in the country. The culture, the values, the instruction. Im an LA sunshine girl through and through, but this gym alone was really convincing me to move to Pittsburgh.

★★★★★ — Erika, Sep 2024

New to BJJ, visited the gym while in Pittsburgh for the week. Great place, everyone is really friendly and very welcoming. Top notch instructors. Thank you Logan Stout for the very thorough and detailed instruction, I already feel much improved after your classes

★★★★★ — Peter, Oct 2018

I have been training BJJ at Stout (Zelienople location) for about one month now. The instructors are very knowledgeable, and everyone I have met at the gym has been very helpful. There is a nice variety of classes at different times, which helps to accommodate busy schedules.

★★★★★ — Brandon, Aug 2021

Top notch, went there under a recommendation form a training partner who used to train at Stout. I have been training for approximately for seven years. Right from the beginning the atmosphere was of one I know I would enjoy.

New to muay thai? Start at Stout PGH - Strip District

Stout PGH - Strip District 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 Stout PGH - Strip District

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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
