From the reviews

Hands down the best fitness and MMA gym I've ever been to! I've been a member for over a year now, and I can confidently say it's been a life-changing experience. What sets Warriors Nation MMA apart is its welcoming atmosphere and dedication to all levels of experience.

★★★★★ — Joe, Mar 2024

I can’t speak highly enough about Hansel and Warriors Nation. This gym is not only beautiful inside but it’s clean and even smells good, totally unheard of for an MMA gym. They take great pride in the facility and it truly shows. Hansel’s energy and experience is unparalleled.

★★★★★ — Zachary, Jun 2024

Trained twice with the warriors instantly felt like a part of the team. All the coaches there are extremely motivating and make intense workouts fun and exciting.

★★★★★ — Melissa, Aug 2021

I would honestly say this gym is shaping me as an all around fighter. Physically and mentally. When I joined the team, I realized that I joined a winning team in the combat sports community. Not just from attitude but from taking the right steps that leads an athlete to victory. This is only me 6 months in by the way.

New to muay thai? Start at Warriors Nation MMA

Warriors Nation 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 Warriors Nation 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.
