​Wolfgang Stolts

Fitness Coach

Wolfgang exemplifies the transformative power of dedicated training. Since joining MX Gym's Muay Thai program in 2021, he has lost 80 pounds and risen to become an amateur Muay Thai champion, earning his first championship belt at the 2024 Tournament of Champions and compiling a 6-2 fight record. As a Muay Thai Fundamentals instructor and Fight Team member, Wolfgang has experienced firsthand what it takes to build championship-level conditioning.

​His Early Morning Fitness class reflects that journey - high-energy cardio workouts incorporating Muay Thai-inspired conditioning, designed to fit busy schedules and deliver real results. Wolfgang's approach is personal and authentic: every element of his class comes from his own training experience, and his goal is to help others achieve their fitness goals in a supportive, energetic environment.
