From the reviews
The guys here are this gym as some of the most kind and respectful people ever. I have been to other places where I feel ogled as one of the few femmes in a workout gym but people here are focused and ready to train to fight.
Great gym and I love the community they have. Family friendly and the owner definitely makes you feel comfortable here. They offer a great variety of classes, trainers. The trainers themselves are top-notch and know what they are doing. All of them are competitive fighters that either pro-level or near pro-level.

I go there specifically for muay thai (but they have other stuff) - the place is clean and also have weights so its 2-in-1 bonus. I love they focus on techniques, not just cardio, people are very nice, and love can do sparring.
New to kickboxing? Start at Aragon Training Academy - Muay Thai
Aragon Training Academy - Muay Thai 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 Aragon Training Academy - Muay Thai
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.
