From the reviews
Mo was the man that has launched the careers for many professional fighters, mine included. He still visits me and Jon Fitch at the AKA in California to expand his knowledge. I am very fortunate to have met him and had him as a coach. His technique, knowledge, and experience is second to none.
This is a great place! I started working out here before I was pregnant in a women's fitness class. I worked out my entire pregnancy with guidance from Coach Mo. Now my son takes multiple classes here. Coach Mo is great with teaching not only great technique, but also teaching how to be a good person as well.

Rhyno's gym is THE place to train at in the Lafayette area. The coach is second to none being incredibly experienced and the kind of person you want in your corner.
New to kickboxing? Start at Rhyno's Gym
Rhyno's 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 Rhyno's 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.
