From the reviews
I used to hateee the gym and gym culture until I came to mmt. I’ve been training Muay Thai for about 10 years here under Coach/owner Frankie who is not only an incredible fighter, but also an incredible person. The love I’ve seen him show to every member truly makes this place feel like family.

MMT is the best gym ever….its more than a gym, it’s a community, a place where you can feel comfortable regardless of your age or fitness level. It’s a place where people encourage you to do better and be the best version of yourself.
MMT is my home away from home. I’ve met the most incredible people who now seem like family & have had nothing but great experiences. Frankie the owner/Coach has been like a father & brother to me & always gives his shirt off his back to help others.
New to kickboxing? Start at Mercado Muay Thai & Fitness
Mercado Muay Thai & Fitness 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 Mercado Muay Thai & Fitness
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.
