From the reviews
Super friendly and positive environment. Everyone there just wants you to be better. The coach is super supportive and very easy to learn from. Solid place. 10/10
Josh is incredibly supportive and friendly, making it perfect for beginners. Takes the time to ensure everyone feels comfortable and learns at their own pace. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to start their martial arts journey. Overall, a fantastic place to train and grow!
I’ve known the owner for a decade and always known him to be very knowledgeable in the subject matter as well as reputable as a business owner. I’ve been enjoying attending the gym especially since it’s the best value for training Muay Thai in the county.
Went here a couple weeks ago. Was super impressed by the classes. Josh is a really great instructor, walks around makes sure everyone has the technique down. Would recommend 👍👍👍
New to kickboxing? Start at Galt Martial Arts Academy
Galt Martial Arts Academy 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 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 Galt Martial Arts 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.
