THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF?
You need a way to combat stress and anxiety.
You want a workout that will burn a ton of calories and help you lose weight.
You’re worried about losing flexibility and strength as you age.
EVER FEEL IN A RUT FROM THE SAME OLD WORKOUTS AT THE GYM?
LUCKILY THERE IS A COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION…
There are plenty of workouts you could try, but it can be difficult choosing the one that’s going to give you the greatest health benefits and best results. If you want to lose weight, you’ll also want to choose a workout that will help you burn a large number of calories and tone your muscles at the same time.
The workout you choose should do everything you want it to do – from toning your muscles to improving your cardiovascular health and reducing stress.
YOU WILL GROW WITH EVERY CLASS!
Muay Thai combines the discipline and focus of martial arts with an intense, body-toning workout that can help you lose weight, improve your cardiovascular health, and minimize your stress and anxiety.
GET THE RESULTS YOU WANT FROM YOUR WORKOUTS
We all have times when we fall into a workout rut. We go to the gym, but we aren’t getting the same results we used to see.
One problem may be that you’re doing a workout that doesn’t challenge your entire body. Muay Thai workouts require students to use every major muscle group – and that means it delivers a great workout every time.
In addition to providing an intense workout, Muay Thai builds muscles and tones your entire body. It’s the workout you’ve been looking for.
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.

Excellent instruction from all the coaches. They are knowledgeable and patient, and always willing to walk you through the moves. I’ve been going to the kickboxing class for about 3 years and I’ve definitely gained muscles! The best part is that it’s still just as fun and challenging as it was when I first started. Never gets old.

The instructors here are the best. They make sure your technique is correct on every drill so you are practicing right and everyone is helpful and supportive even in competition.

Such a fantastic place! The people are so welcoming here, that they take the intimidation out of learning something new, especially as an adult learning – and they really care about teaching you and pushing you to be your best. Absolutely love coming here for classes, seeing everyone weekly, and learning Muay Thai!

Absolute has made a huge impact on my family. Before joining, I was intimidated by kickboxing classes but after one class I realized my fear had no merit – the folks at Absolute are like family now. I am stronger, healthier, more confident and happier than I was before, and I have made some amazing friends. Even on those days I don’t want to get off the couch, once I get to the studio my whole attitude is changed and I am pumped. Absolute is always adding new classes, new sessions, and holding events & contests for us to stay engaged. It’s been over 4 years for me and it never gets old!
My two sons joined me over a year ago – one in Jiu Jitzu and one in kids class – and both have shown tremendous growth. Ms Ana and the kids class have brought out the best in my 1st grader, teaching him respect, determination and pride in accomplishments. We love Absolute!
