I went to Shakelfords MMA Center for my first Muay Thai class and had a great experience. The coaches were welcoming, took time to explain techniques, and made sure I felt comfortable as a beginner. The class was challenging but encouraging, and the atmosphere was supportive rather than intimidating. I left feeling motivated, confident, and excited to keep training.

I had an amazing time for my first session! The instructors were welcoming and filled with advice for someone that’s new to the sport. I will be returning and recommend this place to anyone looking to begin their training.

Great Experience!!!. I had an awesome time! The atmosphere was amazing. They are all about safety first and family oriented. The instructors were fun and very knowledgeable. And took safety very important. If you have children this is a plus! The music keeps you pumped and the environment is uplifting . They celebrate wins like family and treat everyone as such. I didn’t feel like a newbie, I felt like I’ve been there for ages. They have amazing opportunities to really grow with other members. I’ve never been to a gym where everyone was smiling and so supportive. You won’t feel like a number here. You will feel like family. This was a very memorable experience and I look forward to coming back!

My first visit with this gym was incredible! I was very nervous about walking in and didn’t know anyone. This changed as soon as I walked in, I was greeted by other members and the staff, everyone was very positive and friendly and especially helpful. This should be on everyone’s schedule through the week to get in shape, have fun, make friends, learn some awesome things! Highly recommend!!
