From the reviews
Awesome all around. Really great coaches, optimistic attitudes and an excellent atmosphere. My daughter loves her training and can’t wait to come to practice every day. It’s her second home. Coach Koas, Coach Ricardo and Coach Brad make working hard a positive experience.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t say enough good things about this gym! From the very first day, they’ve made us feel like family. Coach Koas is incredible so invested in the kids and always going above and beyond, not just teaching boxing but also instilling discipline, confidence, and life skills that go beyond the ring.
I’ve been with the Apex team since 2017, and they’ve always been great people and coaches. The instruction is easy to follow, hands-on, and very effective, with plenty of mitt work and opportunities to spar. The gym has a welcoming, family-friendly environment that’s suitable for all ages and stages of adulthood.

New to muay thai? Start at Team Apex Boxing
Team Apex Boxing comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Team Apex Boxing
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.
