I had a great experience at Burning Spirits Muay Thai! The gym has an amazing vibe—clean, welcoming, and full of positive energy. What really stood out to me was the traditional Muay Thai feel of the training. Derek, the owner, brings authentic experience from Thailand, and it shows in the way he teaches and runs the gym. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and made me feel right at home. Whether you’re a beginner or have experience, this is a great place to train. I’m definitely coming back! Highly recommend.
Burning spirit is an incredible experience. It’s a great mix of an authentic training experience while also feeling really welcoming. I had really limited knowledge about Muay Thai, just general interest in combat sports. Burning spirits was able to teach me so much and was the perfect way to work out while still having fun. Derek and all the other coaches did a great job pushing and keeping me motivated. I’d absolutely recommend anyone to at least do the trial program to get a feel for how sick it is!
Great experience so far, Coach Derek takes his time with new students learning the fundamentals and helping us learn and grow. Seeing the all level class at the same time as the fundamentals class is added motivation.
The gym is clean and well kept, everyone is respectful and nice. Def recommend!
When I first joined, I had a beginner-friendly introduction to Muay Thai in which I was taught basic strikes and their techniques. I got a flavor of cardio-work, shadowboxing, bagwork, and even the common Mai gesture used as a sign of respect and thanks between the coaches and students. All of this showed me that Muay Thai is more than just a sport--but a way for people to respect one another and work alongside each other to achieve a better, stronger body! If you live here in Philadelphia and want to grow like never before in a welcoming and accepting culture, Muay Thai is a great start, and even better, the Burning Spirits Muay Thai gym. Coach Allie and Coach Derek are great teachers with great patience and dedication for their students and the gym. Not to mention, the newer coach, who also has experience in the ring and a good understanding of technique--Coach Joe! Thanks, guys!
Derrick was super welcoming! It was my first Muay Thai class and he really focused on getting form correct. I highly recommend if you are in Philly - great gym!
