I have been training at Unit 2 Fitness for nearly 6 years now, and I can't recommend this place enough. Small business level attention-to-detail and customer service, with expert level instruction.
I've waited almost a year to write this review because I wanted it to be based on real world experiences. I'm a BJJ Blackbelt under Rafael "Gordinho" Lima with 20+ years of training.
Unit 2 Fitness is a fantastic place to elevate your fitness journey. The atmosphere is welcoming and motivating, making it easy to feel at home while pushing your limits. Coaches Jeff and Ryan are exceptional—they bring a wealth of knowledge, energy, and personalized attention to every session.
New to muay thai? Start at Unit 2 Fitness
Unit 2 Fitness 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 Unit 2 Fitness
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.
