Muay Thai in Los Angeles is spread across the basin. One school using the city name trains in Montebello, which is Los Angeles County, not the City of Los Angeles.
Team Mana Muay Thai, at 1212 South Santa Fe Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90021, near the Arts District, bills every four weeks. Starter is $200 for two classes a week and no sparring. Pro is $240, unlimited, with sparring. Elite is $340 and includes one free private a month. A drop-in is $30. A free trial is for Los Angeles County residents. Other privates are on request.
NELA Combat Fitness is at 5501 N Figueroa Street in Highland Park. The gym says coach Ed Bilbasoo has more than 26 years in Muay Thai. A first class is free. A drop-in is $40. Twice a week is $170 a month, three times $200, and unlimited $250. Privates vary by coach. There is no contract. Sunday is closed, and Saturday lists sparring at 11 a.m.
Los Angeles Muay Thai, at 1808 W. Whittier Boulevard in Montebello, charges $80 a month for gym access and $99 for boxing or women's Muay Thai. Muay Thai and boxing, ages 14 and up, is $175 a month on an annual plan and $225 month to month. The first class is free. Registration fees apply. Its 2026 schedule requires a year of sparring experience, or 16 striking privates, before sparring class.
Left Hand Muay Thai, in Valley Village, lists unlimited training at $195 a month on a one-year commitment, or $235 month to month. A drop-in is $35. The private hour is not printed.
Classes are indoors. National Weather Service 1991–2020 normals for downtown Los Angeles put January at an average high of 68.0°F, with 3.29 inches of rain, and August at an average high of 84.0°F with 0.00 inches. The year averages 14.25 inches, mostly from November through March.
Thai Fighting Championship advertised TFC1 for March 21, 2026, at Bike Shed Moto Co, 1580 Industrial Street, as IKF-sanctioned amateur Muay Thai. A Thai Town post also advertised fights on Hollywood Boulevard on April 26, 2026. Confirm either date.
These are page prices, not a city average. A drop-in is $30, $35, or $40. NELA and Los Angeles Muay Thai also offer a free first class. Team Mana's trial is for county residents only.
Do not treat those monthly figures as one product. NELA's $170 and $200 rates are two or three days a week, not unlimited. Team Mana bills every four weeks, so 52 weeks is 13 charges, and its $200 plan excludes sparring.
No page here prints a private hourly rate. NELA says the price varies by coach. Team Mana's $340 plan includes one free private a month and prices other privates on request.
The fiscal 2026 GSA lodging ceiling for Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura counties, except Santa Monica, is $191 a night before tax. Hotel Guru's July 2026 Los Angeles average daily rate was $214.08.
A training month is a lease. Apartment List's August 2026 city median is $1,856 for a one-bedroom and $2,367 for two. HUD's fiscal 2026 Fair Market Rent for Los Angeles–Long Beach–Glendale, from an August 2025 survey, is $2,328 for one bedroom and $2,903 for two. Realtor.com's second-quarter 2026 median asking rent was $2,742 in the city. They measure different stocks.
No survey says where fighters stay. Team Mana is near the Arts District, NELA is in Highland Park, Left Hand is in Valley Village, and Los Angeles Muay Thai is in Montebello. The March show was listed downtown on Industrial Street. Stay near the gym. A citywide median is not the rent on that block.
Drop-ins on these sites are $30, $35, or $40. NELA and Los Angeles Muay Thai also offer a free first class.
Printed plans run from $170 a month for two days a week at NELA to $340 every four weeks at Team Mana. Read whether the price is unlimited, and whether the bill is monthly or every four weeks.
These gyms do not print an hourly rate. NELA says it varies by coach. Team Mana's $340 plan includes one free private a month.

Near the gym: the Arts District, Highland Park, Valley Village, or Montebello. July 2026's hotel average daily rate was $214.08.
