“Very friendly and professional!”
From the reviews
Awesome Muay Thai gym! Great place if you’re ready to push yourself and do the work. There is a good variety between class sessions and decent availability to work with your schedule. Good group of people and no drama.
Joining I$MT has been one of the best decisions I've made! Coach Matt and Nicole genuinely care about each person, and they always ensure you're well taken care of.
The community is amazing and will welcome you with open arms. It’s like a family. Coach Matt and David are amazing and will push and guide you to be your best, even past what you thought you were capable of; making sure you strive to exceed past your goals.
Matt is an outstanding bagpiper. Very professional to deal with and delivers great music! Highly recommend.
New to kickboxing? Start at Ironside Muay Thai Gym
Ironside Muay Thai Gym 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 Ironside Muay Thai Gym
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.
