From the reviews
Great gym with even better people. The coaches are highly attentive to every student, offering personalized pointers to help refine techniques and continuously improve.
Great place to train! The coaches are experienced fighters but still very friendly and approachable. Classes strike a perfect balance between conditioning and technical training, so you leave feeling both challenged and better each session. Awesome environment whether you’re just starting or already have experience.
my 14 years old boy absolutely loves this gym! The Muay Thai and BJJ programs are both excellent, and the coaches are incredibly professional, patient, and dedicated.
I’ve been training at this gym for over a month now, and it’s been a great experience. My cardio has improved significantly, and I can feel my technique really starting to come together. I especially enjoy the morning classes—they make it easy to get a solid workout in before work.
New to kickboxing? Start at Element MMA
Element MMA 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 Element MMA
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.
