ABOUT LEVEL UP

BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP

SINCE 2013

Level Up was built on a simple idea: give everyone access to real, high-level fight training in an environment where they feel welcome. Since 2013, we’ve grown from a local gym into a team that has developed champions and represented the United States in competition around the world—without losing the community that made Level Up what it is.

01.What makes Level Up different?
Level Up combines high-level Muay Thai and Boxing coaching with a welcoming environment for everyone. Our coaches have developed athletes from complete beginners to champions competing nationally and internationally, while building a community where you don't have to be a fighter to belong.
02.Do I need experience to train at Level Up?
Not at all. Many of our members walk through the door with zero Muay Thai or Boxing experience. Our beginner programs are designed to teach you the fundamentals from the ground up before progressing into our intermediate training.
03.Is Level Up only for fighters?
Absolutely not. Competitive fighters are only one part of our team. We train people who want to get in shape, learn real striking skills, build confidence, relieve stress, or simply find a workout they actually enjoy.
04.Can I eventually compete if I want to?
Yes. For members who decide they want to compete, Level Up has a proven path from beginner training to amateur and professional competition. Competition is never required, but the opportunity is there for athletes who earn it and want to take their training to that level.

Our Journey

2013

LEVEL UP BEGINS

Level Up opens its doors with a mission to bring real Muay Thai, Boxing and fight-level coaching to everyday people in Maryland.

2017

BREAKING THROUGH

Level Up breaks through on the national and international stage. Erin Jimenez earns silver medals at the IFMA World Championships and IFMA Pan American Championships, along with an IKF World Championship. The team also captures two WBC National Titles and is named WKA National Top Team—among numerous other championships that year.

2023

A NEW ERA

A new generation of Level Up fighters begins making its mark, breaking through at WKA Nationals before going on to win major tournaments and compete on some of the biggest shows in the country. That same year, Gary Mack captures his first Professional World Championship in spectacular fashion—winning three fights in one night to claim the title.

2026

THE NEXT LEVEL

Level Up reaches new heights. Gary Mack captures the Freedom National Championship at a higher weight before winning the WBC Pro National Title and rising to #13 in the WBC World Rankings. Trey Thorne wins USA Muay Thai Grand Nationals at the Elite level, WBC Regional and National titles, and WBC World Tournament Gold—defeating two professional opponents on his way to becoming World Champion. As 2027 begins, Trey turns professional, joining Gary as Level Up enters its next chapter on the professional world stage.
