From the reviews

I am new to Muay Thai, never done anything like it before and I was nervous. Tribe Muay Thai has been super approachable and fun. They have loaner gear for people just starting out which is super helpful. The coaches are fighters themselves so you get top notch coaching.

★★★★★ — Meghan, Mar 2025

This is by far the best gym I have ever been to! I learn something new every class and get a great workout at the same time. The coaches are experienced, kind, and truly wonderful to learn from.

★★★★★ — Mikayla, Mar 2025

All the coaches here are good dudes. It's definitely a good gym. I recommend it 100%. They're super kind to beginners like myself and easy to get along with. They take their time to help everyone out.

★★★★★ — Trevor, Apr 2024

New to kickboxing? Start at Tribe Muay Thai

Tribe 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 Tribe 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.
