I’ve trained at a few different Muay Thai gyms and this is far and away the best! Welcoming for people of ALL levels. Not a horrible ego or knucklehead in sight. Coach Ed is amazing. He has created an atmosphere where you can feel comfortable while being pushed to work hard, learn, and improve. All the coaches are skilled and fun to work with. The people who train here are delightful and dangerous!
NELA is an excellent Muay Thai gym in Highland Park that’s genuinely beginner friendly with a no ego atmosphere. Head coach Ed brings exceptional experience as both a fighter and coach, and the facility is clean with a welcoming community for all levels. Highly recommend!
I’ve been going around town lately trying different traditional boxing gyms, but none of them have really clicked with me. They either just had me spar right away or only told me what I was doing wrong, not necessarily how to correct it. Coming from a karate background, I thought maybe I should give Muay Thai a try instead. The moment I walked into Ed’s gym I felt like I was in the right place. It was a pretty full class but he took me and another newbie aside and basically gave us our own private class with his full attention, which enabled me to really start to grasp initial techniques. Wonderful atmosphere and coaching, I will definitely be coming back!
I love everything about NELA Combat Fitness!! Coach Ed was extremely welcoming my first day and every day after that. All the coaches and members are incredible and everyone is so nice! I haven’t worked out in a decade and the instructors are so patient during training. I have never been so excited to go to a class as I am to come here!
Everything at Nela Combat is top notch, from coach Ed and the rest of the coaches to the community that you find there. I felt like part of the family from day one. Coming up on one year doing Muay Thai and I’m 50 years old. Everyone there is encouraging and supportive and welcoming, even to an old man like me lol. I’ve lost 20 pounds and feel better than I did in my 30s.
