Been training here a couple weeks and I’m super stoked on it. The gym is welcoming (not cliquey) the training is hard and legit, and they balance real intensity with the fun side of Thai culture. Coach Mei will work your ass off but will also have you laughing in between rounds (you’ll see hehe). Ive trained a little while (across country and in Thailand), and this is the first place I’ve been at in the US that really feels like training in Thailand. Good fighters, newer people learning, no ego, and people actually kick it outside of training. Grateful to have found this gym. 10 out of MF’in 10!

Best gym in Denver. I had to move away and Tankhead is the top of the list of things I miss most about Colorado. Welcoming to anyone from beginners to seasoned fighters. This place is like a family — try it out!!

This place is awesome. I had been wanting to get into Muay Thai for a while, and then Tankhead opened a block from my house so I had no excuse. Coach is a genius and Meg is super nice. Get in while it's still growing and there's lots of personal attention.

I know I speak for everyone when I say this place is like family. It seems like an understatement to call it a “good gym”. This place is awesome! The coaches are FABULOUS and it really is a place for all people at any level, I mean very beginner to highly advanced. The group is so diverse and everyone has a variety of different skills that allow for quick learning and great engagement with others. The environment here is one of the most welcoming I’ve came upon in my training career so far and it’s both the coaches and students who make it this way. I also appreciate the respect, initiative, and authenticity that the coaches give while also demanding from their students. In my opinion, it’s helped cultivate personal growth through the physical training I adore so much. Love that I have found this place, it’s much much more than just a place to train. I’d highly recommend!!

Extremely authentic, in every single way possible. Coach is one of kind + everyone else is great. I’ve had a hard year & joining Tankhead has already made all the difference in my life.
