From the reviews
My 3 kids had the blessing to find this gym a year ago, coaches are kind, respectful, supportive and most of all, they are mentors! The gym splits in 2, “red area” striking and “black area” bjj, every time I saw the doggies they are on the striking area, and truly as a dog lover I’ve never ever seen these furry…
It stared from the phone call. I call in to inquire about prices and classes offered and I had the pleasure of speaking with Melissa (she was soooooooo warm welcoming and funny). My first day was yesterday and all I can say Is I cannot wait to go back.
We were invited by a friend to try out American Muay Thai. They do 5 free lessons so what did we have to lose? My daughter came just to observe but right from the beginning Jessie invited her to join in. She is shy but Jessie is such a great person that she jumped right in.
This gym is fantastic. The staff is caring and supportive. It is a shame that someone is writing and having non members write negative reviews, esp about a small business that has maintained a great reputation. The cost of the gym is lower than it's competitors and cleaner than any gym that I have previously attended.
New to kickboxing? Start at American Muay Thai & American Boxing Academy
American Muay Thai & American Boxing Academy 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 class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness 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 kickboxing class at American Muay Thai & American Boxing Academy
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing 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 — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics 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.
