Muay Thai, commonly referred to as 'The Art of Eight Limbs', is the national sport of Thailand. Competitors use their 'eight limbs'-two hands, two elbows, two knees, and two legs-to best their opponent. Fights are held in a ring where fighters wear boxing gloves and Thai shorts. Muay Thai and fight culture are steeped in ritual, tradition, and mysticism, all of which you will learn about at Juniper Muay Thai Gym.
Juniper Muay Thai Gym strives to create a welcoming and approachable space for all. Our Women's Muay Thai Kickboxing curriculum offers cardio-centric training sessions rooted in Muay Thai principles and technique. You will experience a high-intensity workout, while building a strong community and learning effective technique.
Juniper Muay Thai Gym offers safe, fun, and challenging co-ed classes for children. While our Kids Muay Thai Program is geared towards teaching youth the martial art of Muay Thai, we also have seen first-hand how Muay Thai builds confidence, teaches discipline, and creates camaraderie & grit. In Thailand, it is normal for kids as young as 6 years-old to begin training Muay Thai, which is how many professional Thai fighters start their careers.

Both my boys train here, 18 and 8 yr olds and its the 2nd place for both and it is fantastic!!! The coaches are great and very nice and fun but they let the kids know there's a time for fun and a time to focus. They teach focus and respect and they take their time with each kid. So glad i found this place!

I never write reviews. For anything. But if you’re thinking about taking an intro class, do it. Juniper Muay Thai is the best. Joe and George have created a space that’s inclusive, welcoming and are the best teachers I’ve ever met. This is a place of truly no judgement. If you’re looking to get into shape, this is the place. If you’re looking to learn a new skill, this is it. If you’re experienced, they’ll teach you something new. The space is clean and safe and you can’t beat the price. It’ll be the hardest thing you can’t wait to do again. Can’t run a mile? Who cares. Just

I’ve been coming to Juniper Muay Thai for 5 months and the journey thus far has been amazing, both physically and mentally. Joe and George are amazing teachers and has created a environment that is welcoming, encouraging, and serious work. I highly recommend this gym for all levels, from no combat background (myself) to experienced fighters from different disciplines.

Really enjoy Juniper Muay Thai. My 9 yr old son started here in October and has grown and progressed tremendously the past 3-4 months. I appreciate the availability of kids classes(MWF 5:15-6pm, Sa 12-12:45pm) and the structure that Coach George and Joe enforce. Besides the sport, they also instill personal responsibility into the kids, respect in and out of the gym, and trying/doing you best; even when you're tired/hurt. I've watched all the kids progress with no prior experience, the Coaches are really good at providing direction and teaching the kids. I finally joined the gym, with no prior

Whether your goal is to fight, or get in shape, this gym is the perfect place. The coaches are all friendly. The instruction is authentic. There are classes for all levels, children, and even mixed-level classes. The facilities are clean, and well maintained. There is ample parking. It's easily accessible by public transport, and there's a Indego bike-share stand a block away. Overall, Juniper Muay Thai is an excellent gym!

Can’t say enough about Juniper Muay Thai. Everything about this gym is amazing. Coach Joe, Coach George and Coach Casey are some of the best trainers around. You train with wonderful people who are always supportive and kind. All levels of skill welcome and no egos or negativity found. Very glad I made the choice to join the team!
