From the reviews

The best Muay Thai gym !!! Great experianced instructors team lead by kru Brian Cleary. Relaxed atmosphere with no judgment but will also push you to do your best and get better. I highly recommend freestyle Muay Thai, no matter your age or level of experiance. this is hands down the best Muay Thai gym in Tampa.

★★★★★ — Dan, Jul 2024

I would give them more stars if I could. The people in the gym are super friendly. Everyone is trying to help everyone. No matter your age, gender, fitness level, skill, you are welcome here. When I first started coming I didn’t have a clue how to throw punch or move around.

★★★★★ — Troy, Dec 2024

FANTASTIC KRU (coach), FIGHTERS, VIBE, PEOPLE (i.e. raw beginners, like me...) Can't say enough good things about FMT and the training program and crew that Kru Brian Cleary has built up over many years.

★★★★★ — Jack, Apr 2025

I trained at Freestyle Muay Thai for almost two months, and it was an incredible experience. The classes are very intense, perfect for those looking for a challenging workout that truly pushes you to your limits.

New to kickboxing? Start at Freestyle Muay Thai

Freestyle 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 Freestyle 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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
