Toronto Kick Boxing & Muay Thai Academy

I’ve been here for two classes already and have thoroughly enjoyed the workout and classes each time.
The first time you complete the class, it can be super exhausting especially if you’re unfit or don’t work out as much. However, it gets better after the first class. It was the toughest but totally worth it afterwards. The beginning of the class is quite an intense workout but after the workout, you’ll learn the art of muay thai kickboxing.
If it’s your first time going, they’d make you sign a waiver form. you know, just sign your life away. Then it will be $ 10 if it is your first time which is transferable if you want to pay for one of the 10 class packages. After that, if you’re just going to pay for the drop ins, it will be $ 20. I just opted for paying $ 20 each time as I really did not know how often I will be able going due to the location (it’s considered far for me if you’re in the suburbs).
My friends ended up paying for the 10 class pass special package which includes the boxing gloves and hand wraps so you do not have to use the ones they have which are questionably sanitized. Regardless, if you used the ones they have, someone has definitely used them multiple times. It’s not a bad package if you ask me.
Many thanks to Charlie for being our instructor and putting up with a few of my friends in the beginner class.

Great gym. Been a member for over a year now. The instructors are super friendly and very knowledgeable. Amazing workout!

Mediocre at best. I be been training for 10 years, with the last 4 yrs training 3 days a week (classes, 1 on 1, and sparring) and was in two for a day so i thought i would take there level 3 class.
Definitely a great place for a beginner who is looking to shed some lbs and is bored of the traditional gym, but definitely not a fight gym. Or if it is a fight gym they need to re evaluate their levels for classes. Very little technique but more about warm up, and cheesey burn out at the end. If the 90 min class maybe 30 min was actual pad work and it was beginner stuff. 3 punch combo with push kick. Would have got a better work out on a heavy bag at a local YMCA.

I was here on Tuesday (Uptown location) for the 6:00 pm class.
Pros:
— Good place for starting off.
–There are 3 locations, uptown being the largest.
— Punching bags are off to the far side away from where classes take place which is nice.
— Change room is clean and there were enough lockers for everyone.
— Lot’s of room.
— At the Downtown location, I was immediately welcomed at the door.
— The pace is good for those who are just starting to work out.
Cons:
— You really do need to buy gloves, even if it’s a trial class because the equipment (spare gloves) smells really awful. And no, it’s not the smell of sweat, it’s a scent that’s rather indescribable.
— The claim for TKMT is that no one is judgemental however the instructor said I looked horrible. I don’t think she meant it to be offensive, but I was embarrassed since the whole Level 1 class turned their heads to look at me. I think the word was just a negative connotation is all.
I suggest you bring a friend for the first trial for a comfortable experience.

as a timid, a little chubby female it took me lot of guts to sign myself up for even just for trial class. I used to hate work out (and before I sign up for the class I still did) I have had no experience in any kind of martial arts whatsoever. so I was obviously had no idea what to expect from my 1^st class. I’m glad that I decide to grow some imaginary balls and try out.
For some reason Muay thai is like essential class they have in every dojo in Toronto, so before I made my decision to go with TKMT I had to shop around, and attend trial classes. and here are the reason why I decide to go with TKMT and still not regretting a bit:
1. no contracts
you can go by monthly pass or 10 classes pass etc.
2. reasonable price
$ 105+T/month of unlimited class.
3. friendly, laid-​back environment
Instructors are patient and have no «I’m better than you» attitude. they motivate you to survive through class (esp. warm up) and always help you get the right technique.
they also pay attention to details so you can improve yourself… and there’s always some room to improve!
4. Location x 3
I’m attending one on yonge st. very convinient.
now I go there 3,4 times a week cause classes are intense yet fun. it‘s been little over 1 month now and I have lost 6 lbs already… and it’s all from workout I get from TKMT cause I still eat whatever i eat whenever i wanna eat.
I love muay thai experince im getting from TKMT, would recommend to anyone who are interested.

I just recently started going, thanks in part to a wag jag offer. I must say that the staff here are wonderful. They push you but also take the time to help you when you are having trouble. I’ve only done two level 1 classes but will continue to do so to build up my cardio (read very cardio intense) as well as master the basics. Wednesday’s seem to be fairly busy and the women’s change room can get crowded. Overall I would highly recommend.

I have been to this gym for over 4 months now. It is due to the fact that I bought coupons from the deal sites.
TKMT has 3 locations, this is the uptown location. The space is spacious, and the change room is never packed.
I am in the beginner 2 class (soon to be called ‘Level 2′), and each class you sweat so much because it takes over 30 min just for the bootcamp style warm up, and then 1.5 hours on the instruction on the technique.
They also have a sparring area for those advanced students.
The instructors shows very good technique and you don’t really waste your time in the gym. They also have beginner class 7 days a week which is excellent. There are also bootcamp class and more advanced class.
I would totally recommend this gym to anyone looking for a challenging workout, and also at the same time learning some technique, you will love it
