I only joined this gym a month ago, and even though I was very nervous at first, the experience has been amazing. The coaches here are truly the best; they really focus on teaching you and building your confidence. The brotherhood is incredibly strong. Everyone is supportive and friendly, regardless of what level they are on and they genuinely want to help you improve. I am definitely staying here and would wholeheartedly recommend this place to all my friends and family.

My 11-year-old son has been training at Cobra Muay Thai for about a months now and absolutely loves it. The coaches are amazing with kids – friendly, patient, and professional. He’s gained so much confidence, fitness, and discipline. The gym has a great atmosphere, and i'm really happy with the progress he’s made in himself. Highly recommend!

Very good gym. Tayo and the team are excellent at what they do. They offer 1 to 1 or classes. In 1 to 1 you definitely learn a lot more as it’s just you and the coach. Any bad reviews are just lies… You can’t pay for an economy ticket and expect the chef to come cook your food like they do for business class it’s same with Muay Thai. What you pay for= What you get. Keep up the hard work lads💯

Decent gym overall and the vibe is mostly positive. Coaches are solid and put in a proper shift. To be fair, they try to teach well and keep the atmosphere upbeat. That said, it does feel like some people get more attention than others. If you’re not in the coaches’ good books, progress can be slow, sometimes stuck. I’ve seen folks graft here for years and still look like month three, even with dedication. Classes get too busy for the space, so you end up queuing for pads, missing reps and struggling for sparring space. Bag work is non-existent at times. Not here to slate anyone. The owners and coaches seem like good people and mean well. It could be much better with tighter class caps, clearer pathways, and making sure everyone gets some eyes-on time. Solid place, just frustrating at times is all. Take this as constructive feedback from someone who wants the gym to do well.
