From the reviews
Been going to gyms all my adult life and this one for three years now. It is the best by far and keeps me in the shape of my life. Coming here is easy because I have fun amongst the good people - but am also pushed to train hard.
I've been going to Wright's Gym for eight years now. I find it is an all in one type of facility, from yoga to fighting classes, cross fit and even a tanning bed if your into that. There are no other gyms like this one in the Pittsburgh area.
I moved to Pittsburgh two years ago and searched extensively to find the best gym in the area. I chose Wright’s and never looked back. The atmosphere and energy can’t be replicated. The owner Dave and his staff have been wonderful to be around. They will take the time to talk to you and get to know you.
I am so impressed with this gym. I was nervous to start here back in May. Dave personally reached out to me and made sure all my questions were answered and I was reassured about my anxiety to start at a new gym. Rick is a great worker and personal trainer. He is very informative and helpful.
New to muay thai? Start at Wright's Gym
Wright's Gym comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Wright's 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.
