From the reviews
It's hard to put into words, how impactful Phi Phi Muay Thai has been to my life this past year but I will try. When I first walked into a beginners class, I didn't know what to expect.
I traveled from Sioux Falls, SD to Palmetto, FL as a belated birthday gift to myself and discovered Phi Phi Muay Thai through some Google research and had to check it out especially after reading all of the great reviews from everyone, seeing how detailed/stacked the website is, and how quickly Kru Fahd responded to…
Amazing gym. Great trainer. I trained in Thailand for about 6 months, and when I came back to St Pete I was looking for a gym with a technical trainer who could help me learn various skills, combinations, and defense. I found my spot at Phi Phi.
I started going to Phi Phi Muay Thai to change up my fitness and explore martial arts. I did a three class trial, and now it’s become one of my favorite things to do. It’s a great place for beginners because the gym is respectful and everybody is friendly.
New to kickboxing? Start at Phi Phi Muay Thai
Phi Phi Muay Thai comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Phi Phi Muay Thai
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
