Renegade Roots Thai Boxing Club

Found a gem in Grant Park. 🥊 Just wrapped the Saturday 10 AM class at Renegade Roots Muay Thai and the energy was on point. What stood out to me wasn't just the sweat, but the culture. The instructor actually took the time to reach out, learn my name, and follow up after the session—that kind of personal touch is rare in big city gyms. The programming follows a "drills make skills" philosophy. We spent quality time on reps that actually let you commit the movements to muscle memory rather than just rushing through combos. Pro-tip: If you care about gym hygiene, this is the spot. Easily the best bathrooms and showers I’ve seen at any Muay Thai gym I’ve visited. 🧼🚿

Five weeks and 20 classes in and it is fair to say I am hooked. I look forward to training every week! The entire team is extremely welcoming and supportive and the coaches are true pros. Whether you are looking to hone your skills in Muay Thai or simply get “combat fit,” you won’t regret joining Renegade-Roots.

This review is long overdue! I’ve been coming here since October 2025; I spoke with Cat, the owner, over the phone and immediately she made me feel very comfortable in testing this gym out. I told her I was specifically looking for an environment that wasn’t intimidating. I wanted a space where I would feel welcomed as a beginner and a woman. From my very first class, this place has been exactly that. I’ve taken classes with coaches Trang, Marlee, Steven, and Jonah. All are amazing at their craft; I feel challenged, but leave class feeling proud of what I accomplished. I can also measure how much I’ve grown since October. Each class I gain more confidence in my skills, more strength in my body, and a greater appreciation for the art of eight limbs. I love this place so much and love spreading the word about it. Thank you Renegade Roots for becoming a second home 💘

A year ago, I moved to Atlanta after living in Southern California, and I was searching for a Muay Thai or boxing gym. For a long time, I couldn’t find anything that truly excited me—until now. As a woman who worked for years in the combat sports industry, it's incredibly important to me to support other women in spaces that are still largely male-dominated. Cat, the owner, has a deep passion for Muay Thai and, more importantly, for building a strong, inclusive community. The coaches genuinely care about your growth and overall experience.

I am a beginner to boxing and the best part about this gym is that it isn’t intimidating. The big boxing dudes are so welcoming and willing to help newbies learn the sport. The HIIT and strength classes are top notch, like 1:1 personal training in a class environment. This gym is the place to go for both fitness classes and Thai boxing! I love that they have kids classes, too.
