From the reviews

We came from Dubai for vacation and needed a place to train that would keep our family in shape while we were away from our gym that we love back home! MAN!!! This is the place!!! David Kelly was so helpful, and kind! They really know their stuff at The Fight Lab!!

★★★★★ — Rennie, Jul 2021

I visited Fight Lab while on a business trip, and barely felt like a visitor. David, Lance and Jeremy were great hosts. I was especially impressed with the technical skills of the team, especially the white and blue belts. Everyone was eager to help each other, and the peer leadership is impressive.

★★★★★ — Joey, Jan 2025

It's a great place to train with your family and make new friends. All are welcome, everyone is super nice, especially the big guys. A few places I've been to I felt like I was just getting beat up or tapped out, here at The Fight LAB TX it's completely different.

★★★★★ — Marc, Jun 2024

The Fight Lab is the real deal. Great coaches and great community. Coming into this gym very green, I felt like I was welcomed with open arms. Classes are also a lot of fun. The coaches do a great job of balancing drills for technique and incorporating sparring. This place is a 10 out of 10 for sure.

New to muay thai? Start at The Fight Lab TX

The Fight Lab TX 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 The Fight Lab TX

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.
