From the reviews
The Blast saved my sons life. He is a larger fellow, whose job keeps him at a desk much of the day. He had tried working out doing the usual gym thing, but it did not provide mental stimulation and he soon became bored with it.
Great place to learn and excersise Instructor and students are very friendly and make you feel welcome all the time. Beginers or advance it doesn't matter ! One of the best decisions i ever made Join the blast! Love this place
The place is the greatest! The people are great! We work really hard and have lots of fun doing it! World class coaching and instruction for sure! Come see for yourself! Get healthy, make friends, laugh and learn the greatest martial art, Muay Thai!

New to kickboxing? Start at The Blast Muay Thai Kickboxing Gym
The Blast Muay Thai Kickboxing Gym 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 The Blast Muay Thai Kickboxing 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.
