From the reviews
I decided to come here as a first time martial artist and it was one of the best decisions I could have made. I trained here for about four months before I relocated across the country and I already miss it. All the students and coaches are very welcoming and the environment was always friendly and free of judgement.
This gym is life changing! I have serious anxiety and it has helped me manage it so much. I also have set out to lose weight and the coaches are AMAZING! No matter your skill level, they will be so focused on helping you get to where you want!
Great place to workout, get destressed, improve skills and push yourself to your limits. These guys are awesome all skill levels all ages. If you want a fantastic workout with some great people, give it a try it's addictive
Owner Jonathan has a great venture here at The Garage, KickBoxing. My grandson is in a class of 4 or 5 other kids. Jonathan has proven to be an excellent instructor, with a great amount of patience with my grandson's class. We're very pleased to have enrolled our grandson here.
New to muay thai? Start at The Garage Kickboxing
The Garage Kickboxing 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 Garage Kickboxing
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.
