From the reviews
Been coming here for a few months now and I’m In love with it. Friendly coaches and staff full of knowledge that will patiently answer to all your questions and make you feel welcome and break that “beginner insecurities” of being in a new place. large variety of classes!
It was my 1st time taking a class for boxing and jiu-jitsu, I was so nervous not knowing what to expect. My experience was so phenomenal that I signed up for future one on one classes. I’m excited for my next class, I felt really good and relieved when leaving out.
I've been training at WNYMMA for over 5 years. Rather you are looking to start a fight career or just get some exercise and boost your confidence they are the best MMA gym around. They are one big family and you will be accepted with open arms. I'm lucky to train with amazingly talented coaches and team mates.
Great place. Love the atmosphere, great coaches. All skill levels are welcome, there's something for everyone. If you just wanna burn some calories 2-3 times a week, totally cool. If you wanna go hard spar, take multiple classes a day, that's cool too. All for the same price.
New to muay thai? Start at WNY MMA & Fitness
WNY MMA & 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 WNY MMA & 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.
