Frequently asked questions

Every class at MTK Gym welcomes beginners! To help you settle in, we’ll pair you with an experienced partner for your first few sessions. Feeling a bit lost at first is totally normal, but stick with it, and you’ll master the moves in no time!

Here’s your checklist for your first session: boxing gloves, handwraps, a beach-sized towel or yoga mat (just one, not both), and plenty of water! Don’t forget your ID. Need gear? We’ve got glove rentals for $5 and handwraps for sale—yes, handwraps are a must!

No, sparring is not required, but it is encouraged! We create a safe environment for everyone to practice what they learn in each class, but it is not mandatory. We separate these classes on specific days/times, which you will see on your member app and can avoid if you are not interested.

At our North Hollywood location, you’ll find 5 parking spots behind the building and plenty of street parking out front. The Glendale location doesn’t have on-site parking, but there are several parking structures and street parking options nearby (note: we don’t validate parking).

Get ready for an exciting start! Arrive 10–15 minutes early for check-in and a quick tour. Your session kicks off with a cardio warm-up, then dives into partner pad work, bag drills, or partner exercises. We’ll finish strong with strength and conditioning, targeting key muscle groups like your back, chest, and legs.

Our kids’ program welcomes ages 5–12, while anyone 13 and older can join our adult classes. And remember, it’s never too late to kickstart your Muay Thai journey!

Not at all! That’s why we’re here—to help you get fit, shed stubborn fat, and build a stronger, healthier you through Muay Thai.

Each class is 1 hour and 15 minutes long.
