From the reviews

Been coming here for almost two years and love it. Great instructors, great peers. I especially love it now that the morning Jiu-jitsu classes are more consistent since mornings work best for my schedule. The people here are very welcoming, encourage direct communication, and treat each other like family.

★★★★★ — Rhonda, Jul 2025

I've been training here for about 6 months. I started with their free women's class on Sunday nights and quickly fell in love with Muay Thai! I can't say enough good things about the coaches here. They are fun and make you feel very comfortable while teaching you good technique and pushing you to do your best.

★★★★★ — Charissa, Dec 2023

My husband is 25 and recently joined muay thia training and he really loves it here. The trainers work hard with him and are helping him get into shape. I came to watch him and they establishment is great.

★★★★★ — Kayte, May 2018

Roger and the crew here are the best coaches around. 10/10 recommend coming in for a class if you are on the fence about starting Jiu Jitsu or Muay Thai. 🤙

New to muay thai? Start at Stray Dogs Club

Stray Dogs Club 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 Stray Dogs Club

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.
