Original 8 Muay Thai & Fitness

Training at Original 8 has been a standout experience thanks to coach Tode who expertly guides both beginners and experienced people. The gym’s a very welcoming fun environment, offering excellent value for anyone looking to learn or improve their Muay Thai skills while feeling part of an encouraging community.

I started training at Original 8 with no experience and felt super supported every step of the way, learning every move from the ground up from skilled, patient, and dedicated trainers. The environment is positive, relaxed, and comfortable. Coming to Original 8 has easily become one of the best parts of my week.

I’ve been with Original 8 for over a year now. Everyone is so welcoming and encouraging, the training sessions are very interesting. Tode is patient and a great coach. Sessions push and pump you up to keep training and improving. I highly recommend!

Everyone says their gym is run by cool/stand-up people, but very few people are genuinely cool and stand-up; Tode and the gang are cooler than cool (ice cold). It's a nice sized gym, a relaxing yet extra hard working environment, run by a super duper friendly and very knowledgeable man, attended by other cool people who learn Muay Thai together and then hang out after. It's a weird paradox working out here. I've worked out in many places, and I generally don't sweat, I'm just kinda built different. Here, however, even though I'm relaxed and having fun, I'm getting a killer workout and sweating a bunch. Something about the building, something about the air I suppose. Tode as a coach is excellent and makes training fun, but more importantly, he is a man of unimpeachable character. I of course view him as a coach when we are in the gym, and an excellent one at that, but first and foremost, I view him as a very close friend (even like family). Come learn Muay Thai amongst homies. Come learn at Original 8.

I’ve been training at Original 8 Muay Thai for a little over a year now, and I can confidently say this is the real deal. Tode is a super knowledgeable, patient, and extremely skilled coach. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner, or are an experienced fighter, I can guarantee you will receive excellent instruction and guidance. I have gotten better each and every day I’ve walked into the gym. Not to mention the strong sense of community in the gym! I remember being so nervous just starting out, but with Tode and all the other fighters/enthusiasts I trained with, I quickly was able to feel comfortable to go in and train. I consider many people I train with inside this gym as friends now, given how welcoming and friendly everyone is. With all of that said, if you were like me, looking for a change in life and wanting to get on a straight path, then I highly recommend training at this gym.
