From the reviews
The greatest coach to ever be born on this Earth. Coach Witherspoon cares about all is student's and stresses the importance of taking care of yourself in and outside of the ring.
A truly excellent gym. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn the fundamentals of boxing, compete, or even pursue a professional career. Tim mentioned that he envisioned everything you see in the gym before it became a reality, and it shows in the environment he has built.
This boxing gym is really a great place to be! Definitely a safe space where you'll learn an incredible amount of boxing expertise. I've learned a ton with Coach Tim. Wether you're a novice or pro, this is definitely the right place to be. The son of a two time heavyweight champion.
I brought my son here in sept of 2023 at the age of 7.Ive waited 2 years to drop this review.I cannot say enough how far he's come in that time.Tim is an ever present owner who is highly invested in his fighters and community.He has established a culture of learning and self improvement.
New to muay thai? Start at Witherspoon boxing and fitness
Witherspoon boxing and 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 Witherspoon boxing and 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.
