Testimonials

Best Muay Thai gym around. Awesome group of members to train with. I recommend for those looking to train for competition and those looking to just have fun and get in shape.

Burning Spirits is a fantastic gym. I started as a complete new comer to Muay Thai, and I’ve learned so much in the past few months training. The training has also gotten me into great shape. The coaches here are extremely friendly and patient. They make you feel super welcomed. Highly recommend this gym if you’re looking to get in shape and train in Muay Thai!

Great work out. They have best instructors. Love the pain train at the end! .

Having zero experience in martial arts, I decided to go to the free trial class, and felt immediately welcomed. I've been a member for the last month or so, and it's been such a great experience, even as a beginner. Between the experienced coaches, wonderful community, and the satisfying workouts, I have nothing to say but great things about Burning Spirits.

I love coming to Burning Spirits! Joining this Muay Thai gym has been the best thing I’ve ever done for my mental and physical health. It’s a very non-intimidating environment which makes it feel very safe for a complete beginner to make mistakes and learn. Coach Derek has built a wonderful community!

Incredible gym, great community!

This gym is super welcoming and the staff is really open to helping you grow in whatever capacity you want to.

I have never done any form of martial arts in my life. I decided to begin a new journey in my mid 30s and joined Burning Spirits to learn Muay Thai. Since day one I was welcomed with kindness from the head coach, Derek and all other awesome coaches. Everyone included students and coaches are amazing. The coaches are friendly and patient with teaching and also incredibly skilled. The gym itself is very clean, great amenities, fun music, and overall just a great place to be! It’s truly a great community to be a part of. As for the workout itself- it is challenging, high intensity, and you will most likely get in the best shape of your life. If you are new to Muay Thai or experienced and looking for a gym in Philadelphia I highly recommend choosing Burning Spirits.

Joining this place has been one of the best decisions of 2024. Coaching is unmatched, classes are challenging and people are great. Excited to learn more and get in better condition while doing so!
