⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Joined this gym about 2 months ago. The only gym I managed to find that does morning classes. Very friendly staff with great atmosphere and a lot of knowledge and experience. Definitely going to recommend to my friends. Don't need to go abroad for best muay thai experience because STMA has a well known coach from Thailand to teach muay thai. I only regret that I didn't join this gym earlier. You won't find any better gym. I'm going to sign up my kid soon as well as there are plenty kids classes.
