From the reviews
My son has been going here for the kids jiu-jitsu program pre and post Covid. The coaches are always great with the kids, and this gym seems to have a great community of people. I attended their Muay Thai briefly myself. The coaches are great, and the program has tons of members with varying degrees of experience.
What a great gym! All the guys that train here are first class all the way. Nick and Dylan are a couple of excellent coaches, and they go above and beyond to help someone feel comfortable when they first get started! Best decision I’ve made in years, to start training here 💯
Triumph is an amazingly welcoming gym with great coaches and training partners. I have been going for 6 months and I feel like everyone there is family. Highly recommend stopping in for a great workout and training sesh. No judgement here ever. All skills levels welcomed.
I must begin by saying that I highly recommend Triumph MMA to anyone looking for a place to train and participate in fellowship. The coaches and the people here make this place special. The community atmosphere that exists here makes me happy to go train and learn with each session.
New to muay thai? Start at Triumph Gym
Triumph Gym 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 Triumph Gym
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.
