MORE THAN JUST A WORKOUT
Choosing an activity for yourself or your family is a big decision. Rooted Legacy offers more than just a class, we provide a path to real growth. Here’s what makes our gym different.
Miss out on top-tier instruction, potentially leading to slower progress and less effective training.
Settle for generic workouts that may not address your individual goals or cater to your specific strengths and weaknesses.
Forego the sense of community and encouragement found in our classes, making your fitness journey a solitary endeavor.
Receive partial instruction that may overlook crucial elements of fitness or leave gaps in your skill set.
Risk stagnation or regression without structured guidance and a clear path towards improvement.
Our coaches are dedicated practitioners and experienced teachers who are passionate about Muay Thai. They provide instruction that is true to the art, with a focus on safety, technique, and your personal progress.
We have a program for every goal and skill level. From our Kids Muay Thai classes and Muay Thai 101 for beginners to our All Levels and Fight Team programs, we provide a clear path for growth.
We are a family-owned gym that prides itself on creating a positive and supportive atmosphere. You will train alongside members and coaches who genuinely care about your success and make you feel welcome from day one.
Muay Thai is a discipline. Our training builds not only physical strength but also focus, respect, and mental resilience. You’ll gain skills that help you inside and outside the gym.
Our program is designed to help you see and feel your improvement. With a strong focus on fundamentals and a structured path forward, you will build confidence with every class.
WHAT TO EXPECT ON DAY ONE
Your first class is all about making you feel welcome and comfortable. You don’t need any experience or special equipment, just show up ready to learn. Our coaches will introduce themselves and guide you through every part of the class. We focus on creating a positive atmosphere, not an intimidating one.
Your first class will include:
- A Simple Warm-Up: We start with light movements to get your body ready and help prevent injury.
- Learning Your Stance: The first and most important lesson. We will teach you how to stand and move to create a strong, balanced base.
- Your First Techniques: You will learn a few basic strikes, like the jab and cross, focusing on proper form.
- A Safe Cool-Down: We finish class with stretches to help your body recover.
BUILDING YOUR FUNDAMENTALS
We recommend all new members attend Muay Thai 101 for at least two weeks. This period is dedicated to building your foundation. We drill the core movements until they become second nature. By focusing on perfect technique from the start, we help you build good habits and prevent injuries.
In these first few weeks, you will master:
- Stance & Footwork: The key to balance, power, and defense.
- The 6 Core Strikes: We will drill the jab, cross, hook, uppercut, and basic kicks.
- Basic Defense: You will learn fundamental blocks and head movement.
- Gym Etiquette: How to be a great training partner in our community.
APPLYING YOUR TECHNIQUE
Once you understand the basic movements, it’s time to apply them. This is where your training becomes a powerful workout and an incredible stress relief. You will learn how to use the primary tools of Muay Thai to build strength and stamina.
Your coach will guide you through:
- Heavy Bag Work: Learn to strike the bag correctly to develop power, timing, and endurance. This is where you practice your combinations and get a great cardio workout.
- Holding Pads for Partners: We teach you how to properly and safely hold pads. This builds a strong community and helps you understand how strikes are thrown and how to defend against them.
READY FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGE
After building your confidence and skill in Muay Thai 101, you will be ready for our All Levels classes. This is an exciting step in your journey. You’ve learned the language of Muay Thai; now you get to have more conversations. The goal isn’t to be perfect—it’s to be prepared.
In the All Levels classes, you will:
- Sharpen Your Skills by training with more experienced partners.

The heart of our gym is our community. We are proud of the supportive and positive environment we have built together. Here is what some of our members have to say about their experience training at Rooted Legacy Thai Boxing Gym.
One of the best in the area!
Professional instruction good for beginners!
Great people, active champion fighters (pro and amateur), and able to to coach anyone from the ground up.
Amazing people all around! Rey, Gabe and Anthony are top notch coaches! Highly recommend! 🥊🔥 …
What an environment! Only the best and high level instruction happening in this gym. Highly recommend checking this place out. Super welcoming for all levels!
Amazing place staff is really friendly and fun. They make learning Muay Thai very easy. They explain and show how to do all the moves in details. I really appreciate it how clean the place is I’m a little ocd about cleanliness and they check of this box for me.
Had a great experience. Rooted Legacy offers a welcoming environment that caters to all experience levels, making it an excellent choice for anyone interested in Muay Thai. From intense pad work to conditioning drills, the sessions are a full-body workout that will leave you feeling accomplished and energized. If you’re looking for a great alternative to your usual cardio routine I highly recommend giving it a try.
I had been going to the gym for a while, but I started to lose motivation. I felt stuck in the same routine, so I decided to try something new. A friend and I signed up for Muay Thai, even though it was something I had never tried before and felt a little intimidating, especially as a middle-aged woman.
I have been attending Rooted Legacy Thai Boxing since January, and it has been a great experience. The training is challenging, but it keeps me engaged and motivated. I feel stronger and more energized after each class.
My coach, Carlo, is patient and supportive and takes the time to guide me through each step. Gabe, the owner, has created a welcoming and encouraging environment. Everyone at the gym is passionate about Muay Thai.
Trying something new has made a big difference for me, and I am glad I stepped out of my comfort zone.
