Tired of the same
workout doing nothing?

Getting into shape is hard if you never work the whole body. Muay Thai uses all of it — and combines the discipline and focus of a martial art with a workout that will genuinely change how you look and move.

A single session can burn as much as a thousand calories. More importantly it builds muscle, and muscle burns more than fat does, so the effect keeps working on the days you are not here. Fundamentals classes run Tuesday and Thursday mornings; all-levels classes run six days a week.

02 What you get

What this program
actually does.

One

Strength, flexibility and stamina together

Most training gives you one. Muay Thai forces all three, because you cannot throw a head kick without all three.

Two

A workout you'll actually keep doing

There is a technique to learn every session. Boredom is the reason gym memberships die, and there is none here.

Three

Fundamentals classes for day one

Twice a week there is a dedicated fundamentals class. You learn stance, guard and the basic weapons before anything else.

Four

Padwork with people who can hold pads

Four Muay Thai coaches, led by Coach Fannie. Holding pads properly is a skill, and it is why your technique improves here.

03 Timetable

Muay Thai on the schedule

Fifty-three classes run every week across the whole academy. These are the ones that matter for this program — the full grid, with a live “on the mats now” marker, is on the schedule page.

    04 Questions

    The things people
    ask first.

    Do I have to spar?

    No. Plenty of students train Muay Thai for years purely for the technique and the conditioning, and never spar. Those who want to, do — supervised and progressively.

    What do I need for my first class?

    Shorts, a t-shirt and water. We'll lend you gloves and shin guards. Hand wraps are worth buying once you know you're staying.

    I've never thrown a punch in my life.

    Good. That means no bad habits to unlearn. The fundamentals classes exist precisely for people starting from zero.

    Can I do Muay Thai and jiu jitsu?

    Yes, and many members do. The schedule is deliberately built so the two rarely collide — and together they cover striking and grappling completely.

    12 classes a week · gloves lent free

    First Muay Thai class,
    on the house.

    Twelve classes a week and gloves lent at the desk. Your first session is spent on stance and footwork — nobody spars on day one.
