Been a member at the gym for a few months. Derek is a great coach to work with and always keeps the classes exciting. I especially love the bag classes. Gym is always spotless and working with the other students is excellent. If you are in the Fishtown area this is a great place to train. Check them out!

Thanks Leo. Glad to have you as part of the community.
If you’re interested in learning traditional Thai based Muay Thai, this is your spot. Amazing coaches, stellar training partners with a weekly changing curriculum to keep you focused on learning techniques instead of feeling like you’re muscling through slap box matches.

Excellent facilities!
All the trainers are very experienced and take their training seriously.
You will definitely get a great workout. Everyone is really friendly and they offer a great 1 class trial that will get you hooked.
I came here to continue my training after moving from my past city. And I definitely felt welcomed!

Thanks Maria. We're glad to have you at the gym.
The place the people and the ambient is absolutely terrific and it's pretty much the only place in town where we've been able to find a true Muay Thai experience
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.
Burning spirits is a great gym. I started on a 6 week trial and tried as many classes as I could, ive always learned and the coaches are great. I'm going to continue training here as long as I can.
Fantastic gym and amazing coaches! A lot of open space and plenty of heavy bags to utilize. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable of the martial art and of the culture, and they do a great job of passing that knowledge down to their students.
There's a great curriculum in place that allows beginners to learn and practice a basic foundation each week (boxing, kicks, knees and elbows, defense, etc.). For more experienced students, advanced techniques are also taught in rotation. There are even dedicated classes for strength/conditioning, and heavy bags.
Learning Muay Thai at Burning Spirits has been an incredible experience so far. Looking forward to the next class!
Awesome gym, teachers are all very attentive and fellow students are super friendly and incredibly helpful. I always leave confident and excited to come back again.
I have nothing but great things to say about Burning Spirits. The coaches are incredibly welcoming and kind to anyone who comes in. I joined BS five months ago and wished I had joined sooner. It’s a great gym for beginners to Muay Thai and those looking for a community in Fishtown.
I joined Burning Spirits for over a year now! I can not say good things about this place!! the students are super friendly, cooperative, and helpful! The coaches are wonderful and helpful they want you to keep you on your A game!! This gym is more of a community which I really love about this place!!! If you really love Muay Thai kickboxing, your going to fall in love with this place!!! its the best!! come join!!! :)
I couldn't agree more with other reviewers! Burning Spirits is such a great place to learn Muay Thai.
I feel lucky that my first martial art experience is sooo good. I've never done anything like this before and I see such an impressive result after doing it for 2 months. Big thanks to our coaches as they are always there to help!
Other awesome things about this place: super friendly community, only positive vibes, huge motivation boost and visible abs in a short time as a bonus 👊
PS: very appreciated that you keep the gym clean! Idk what aroma stuff you use but it always smells so good in there!
It's a wonder how far you will come at Burning Spirits. Coach Derek & his team do an excellent job meeting you where you are & guiding you through each technique. They are with you every step of the way as you master the basics and later progress into more advanced training.
Eight months ago, when I first started, I had 0 experience with Muay Thai. That feels like a lifetime ago because of how much I've learned. You'll get in great shape, learn to protect yourself, & gain confidence. Your money & time will be well spent here.
Burning Spirits is an incredible muay thai gym and community for students of all levels. I truly feel like I learn or improve on something in every class, and will continue to. I really appreciate that the coaches are attentive to students’ strengths & style, and that there is an emphasis on learning and appreciating some of the cultural traditions and history of muay thai too. Cannot recommend the gym highly enough, whether you’re a new student or more experienced— the environment is always welcoming & supportive, including in more challenging classes or sparring sessions. Very grateful to have found this place! For anyone who hasn’t tried muay thai or boxing before, give a few classes a try & you’ll probably fall in love with this sport!!
I joined Burning Spirit having 0 experience in Muay Thai and then 9 months later competed in my first ever fight. Burning Spirits is a great place no matter what level you are at, from beginner to advanced, there is a class for everyone. Everyone is so welcoming and willing to teach no matter what level you are at. The coaches are amazing and love what they do. The health benefits are amazing as well and has helped me lose over 20lbs. The community Burning Spirits has built and the students that attend make every class fun and something to look forward to. Highly recommend!
When you join Burning Spirits, you don't just sign up for a gym; you join a team. I started here shortly after moving to Fishtown and felt immediately welcomed into a community full of friends who help motivate and inspire you as you learn an ancient martial art. Coach Derek is an excellent teacher who in equal parts makes the experience beginner-friendly and provides opportunities to progress into more advanced training over time. Definitely give this place a try!
