From the reviews

I have been doing their 30 day free MMA trial and I have to say, it is great. I've tried a few different gyms around town, and this one was by far the best yet. I'm not fit, so in many of the other gyms they would push me to the point that I never wanted to come back, but at Teamquest I didn't feel like a chubby loser.

★★★★★ — Gordon, Aug 2014

Hey, they won’t judge you here. I always struggle with my weight and they make me feel really good when I come to exercise. I do boxing, kickboxing, etc. For me, is about being healthy for my kids.

★★★★★ — Sun, Nov 2020

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Team Quest MMA Gym! As a family, we’ve seen incredible growth in our three kids, not just in their physical abilities, but in their confidence and humility as well.

★★★★★ — Matthew, Jan 2025

We love team quest! Very professional, very friendly, and the coaches are great with the kids. My son is actually learning something and looks forward to coming everyday. We will continue to come here for years to come. Thanks for all you do guys!

New to muay thai? Start at Team Quest MMA

Team Quest MMA 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 Team Quest MMA

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.
