I've been a member for nearly a year and it has been a life changing experience…read more Prior to joining, I had searched a few Muay Thai gyms in the area and couldn't really see myself fitting in at the majority of them. It wasn't until coming across Coach Gabe, Coach Ant, Coach Rey and Coach Mya at Rooted Legacy that made me feel comfortable taking on a new skill later in life. Both have decades of experience and still keep their skills sharp by competing. The gym has only been open a year and in that time there have been growing pains but they continue to learn and make the training challenging, educational and fun.

Ok. I went in to observe a class and I was happy to see first rate instruction from a knowledge…read morepractitioner with over eight years experience in Muay Thai. The class started with a warm up which is very good at reducing injuries. The movements and strikes were explained in detail and then demonstrated. Students were carefully observed and given feedback on how they were performing. Praise if doing well and helpful critique if they needed improvement. There was an positive atmosphere in the class and everyone worked together as a team. I immediately signed up after observing the class. They do not lock you into a long term contract. You can go month to month if you'd like. That was refreshing. Their rates are very reasonable for the quality of instruction you are receiving. I went to my first class the next day and received excellent instruction on striking and defense. It was a very good workout as well as teaching self defense and the art of Muay Thai. I will be a student here for a long time. F.Y.I. - they also offer a cardio kickboxing class that'll get you in shape quickly. Give them a try, I highly recommend it.

All I ask from my sons is that they put in the effort and improve just a little more every time they come to class. We've seen those small improvements that end up being big improvements when added altogether. Overall very happy with Roots. Impressed how much you can get for the price - and we only go to the Muay Thai classes. The only downsides I can think of is - Limited parking - Pretty crowded classes (but not overly) - very small entryway. Hard to get in and out But those are all negligible tbh.

Before Roots, we spent several years at another gym, but when it shut down due to Covid, we decided to give Roots a try--and it turned out to be the best thing that came out of the pandemic. Roots is more than just a gym; it's a family-friendly environment where both adults and youth can learn authentic Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, all under one roof. The coaches here are phenomenal--highly skilled, knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about martial arts. They provide structured material and a clear path for learning, making it easy to see consistent progress whether you're a beginner or experienced. One of the things we love most is how inclusive the gym is. Whether you're single or have a family, Roots has a place for you. For us, it's been incredible watching our youngest son thrive. He's not only learning the true discipline of martial arts but also gaining confidence, focus, and life skills that will stay with him forever. If you're looking for a gym where you'll feel supported, challenged, and welcomed, Roots is it. We're so grateful we found this place--it's truly one of the best decisions we've made as a family!
