From the reviews

This place is so awesome!! You don’t just gain more conditioning but you also learn to apply everything as life lessons. It’s such a welcoming environment and I’ve been so attached since the first day I’ve step foot in here. Mario is a great-trustworthy teacher and this place is so family oriented!

★★★★★ — Bridgette, Jun 2020

This place is wonderful. We took our two young boys and it was so much more than I had expected. Not only is it great getting the boys moving but they are learning discipline, confidence , respect, and many valuable life lessons. I feel like they are really developing character along with strength.

★★★★★ — Emily, Jul 2020

Wanted our kids to get some good defensive training and we are so glad to have found Coach Mario. Tons of variety with the workouts, you never get bored and the hour flies bye. Very family friendly.

★★★★★ — Renee, Jun 2020

Be prepared to train regularly and intensely, all you need is the willingness to learn and work hard. Mario will push you from the moment you walk in the door until the last second of your workout.

New to kickboxing? Start at Quinones Muay Thai

Quinones 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 Quinones 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.
