From the reviews
I love RCK because they make it a point to make sure you're comfortable (I'm super awkward), always offer help/guidance, and the personal training time is super affordable. Brennan is the kind of coach that you go to looking to change your game up but what you don't realize is that he'll end up changing your life.
I cannot recommend this place enough. Just be careful, if you come for a free class you will definitely sign up for a membership. The kind of place you wanna keep coming back to and an awesome owner who is very friendly to total beginners and professionals alike.
My son attends training here, I love how they treat him like family. They train hard and maintain a positive and uplifting environment. They have many available classes at flexible times. Great group!
The best Muay Thai gym around! The coaches are amazing and everyone is so friendly and supportive. It’s my favorite place to be!
New to kickboxing? Start at Hard Times Muay Thai
Hard Times Muay Thai 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 Hard Times 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.
