If you’re serious about learning Muay Thai, getting in great shape, and training in a professional environment, this is the place to be. Highly recommended! 🥊🔥 The atmosphere is respectful, disciplined, and welcoming—everyone supports each other, which makes every session enjoyable and challenging.

★★★★★ — Dashamir, Jan 2026

Must visit and possibly join Muay Thai gym in the city! There’s no one with the most experience amine has and the amazing ability to teach. I look forward to staying at this gym as great Muay Thai gyms are really hard to come by. Especially because I’m a fighter and I only respect experienced trainers.

★★★★★ — Ab, Feb 2026

Amine is awesome! Class was challenging but a great workout. I took a circuit class and beginner techniques. He was great at explaining the moves and giving pointers. I’m just a beginner but looking forward to more classes. Great vibes overall and no need to feel intimidated if you’re just starting out!

New to kickboxing? Start at Zelus Fight Club Academy

Zelus Fight Club Academy 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 Zelus Fight Club Academy

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.
