MUAY THAI BURN CALORIES AND FAT
The secret to losing weight is finding a way to burn more calories each day than you take in. For most people, that means getting regular exercise to burn some of what they eat.
A single Muay Thai workout can burn as much as a thousand calories. That means that your body will easily burn more calories than you take in, leading to a net loss of weight.
And, Muay Thai increases muscle mass. Since muscle burns more calories than fat does, regular Muay Thai workouts can boost your metabolism, making it easy to lose weight.
MAINTAIN FLEXIBILITY AND STRENGTH AS YOU AGE
As people age, they tend to lose flexibility in their joints and may find that they lose strength as well. Experiencing a physical decline can limit your ability to do the things you love.
People who practice Muay Thai reinforce their body’s strength and flexibility with each workout. By emphasizing core strength and overall fitness, Muay Thai can help you combat the aging process.
Just as importantly, Muay Thai people of all fitness levels and ages can benefit from Muay Thai.
MUAY THAI BANISHES STRESS AND ANXIETY
Stress is a part of modern life. It can have a negative impact on your physical, emotional, and mental health if you don’t find ways to minimize it.
Working out regularly releases feel-good hormones called endorphins. Muay Thai workouts will help you maintain the proper hormonal balance so you can cope with stress as it arises.
At the same time, Muay Thai can also make you feel better about yourself and your body, which contributes to good mental health and makes it less likely that stress will affect you.

I recently joined the beginner adult Muay Thai class and have had a tremendously positive experience. Classes are structured to be both challenging and helpful for all levels of experience or fitness and coaches make time to give lots of individual feedback and direction while drilling. Coach Don does a great job scaling instructions to all skill levels and the classes are challenging, informative and fun. I highly recommend this class to anyone seeking to develop martial arts proficiency, especially those without a combat sports background.

I'm taking the Muay Thai class. It's a great workout, lots of fun, and the coaches are great! Parking is easy and the bathrooms and water fountain are nearby. The room is large with high ceilings and the mats and equipment are nice. I like it so much I signed up for the whole year in advance.
