Reviews from Our Community

I recently started training at burning spirit Muay Thai and I’m having so much fun. The coaches are amazing they guide you through every technique and take the time to explain everything well. If you are thinking of giving it a shot you should 100 percent do it. The environment it’s friendly and full of great aura.
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.
I’ve been at Burning Spirits now for about 4 months and it has been a truly incredible experience. The coaches are very knowledgeable and helpful and the gym is very welcoming. I would highly recommend Burning Spirits for anyone interested in getting in better shape and learning a new skill and art while you’re at it!
Great gym with an awesome atmosphere. The coaches are knowledgeable, do a great job breaking things down, and are always helpful. It’s a lot of fun as well. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get into Muay Thai
SIGN UP ASAP if you’re looking to improve your athleticism, discipline and health. I ditched only focusing on powerlifting to improve my health and mobility. I now feel explosive, dynamic as an athlete and comfortable with the idea of self defense situations. I came across the gym on a walk in the neighborhood and had a great first impression of the facilities and coaches. Clean, friendly, professional vibes and well maintained facility. After chatting with coach Derek, I took home a handout with information and looked into all of the details before scheduling my intro program. I’ve been now going to this gym for 5 weeks and I’m hooked. The vibes are great, there’s a wonderful balance between community, fun and serious training, and the facilities and coaches are incredible. Shout out to coach Derek for building something special in the fishtown / east Kensington community. If you’re someone who is thinking about checking it out, definitely do it and get ready for a big positive change in your life.
