I can’t say enough good things about my experience at Phi Phi Muay Thai with Coach Fhad. The environment is welcoming, focused, and highly motivating. I’ve trained off and on over the years, but I’ve learned more in just a few sessions here than I have at other gyms combined. Coach Fhad is extremely knowledgeable and pays close attention to detail. The training is strict and disciplined, but still fun and engaging. He knows how to push you while keeping the atmosphere positive and respectful. I originally planned to train one-on-one just a couple of times a week, but now I’m training 4–5 times per week because I genuinely look forward to it. I actually hate missing a session. This is the kind of training I’ve been searching for, and it’s had a positive impact on other areas of my life as well. If you’re looking for professional, structured, and effective Muay Thai training in a great environment, I highly recommend Phi Phi Muay Thai and Coach Fhad. Jake Irwin

I'm so glad I found this gym. As a newcomer to the world of martial arts, I felt very comfortable during my first few classes as Coach Fahd and Jorden broke down the fundamentals. You will learn proper Muay Thai here in a safe and supportive environment alongside other awesome individuals. I promise you won't regret joining!! And Fahd's music catalog is 🤌

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 my messages in regards to questions I had before signing up for my trial 3 classes. Phi Phi Muay Thai may have been a 35 minute drive from my little sister's place where I was staying, but it was absolutely worth it! Both the all groups and advanced classes that I attended were full of awesome, like-minded Muay Thai practitioners who brought a welcoming, positive energy that made training a blast! Kru Fahd Elsaid also welcomed me wholeheartedly and his instructions throughout the classes are clear, concise, and he also goes into depth on the why you do certain things as well as how which I personally find to be the best way of teaching anyone anything in general especially if it's something that the person is unfamiliar with or trying out something new! He also takes the time to help out each group of people whenever he sees someone in need of understanding something and explains/demonstrates techniques in other ways to make things relatable! Couldn't recommend this place and the people more to anyone! Definitely will book future classes whenever I visit Florida moving forward! Thanks again for having me, everyone! Until next time! 💪🙏

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. Every class so far has been unique and the owner Fahd is always finding ways to improve your form. Highly recommend trying it out if you’re on the fence about martial arts.
