8 Limbs Academy

What an amazing place. Every day I feel energized and alive after my morning class at 8 Limbs. Great coaches and staff, welcoming and engaging community. 5 stars is not enough. If you’re curious about this gym don’t hesitate to join in.

Tried the one week trial and loved it. The staff are knowledgeable, the coaching is solid, and the atmosphere is welcoming and supportive. Highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in Muay Thai.

i’ve been a student since they opened, originally taking muaythai classes and now attending strength and conditioning classes. excellent place with top notch instructors who are welcoming to everyone. added bonus is they get to know you and personalize training if you have need of it, like i do.

I have been taking the Strength and Conditioning classes at 8 Limbs for about 2 months. I started feeling the difference right away. I had a regular gym membership for a few years, but lacked the structure and knowledge to really make the progress I wanted to make. I love that this gym has a great community feel, everyone is supportive and friendly, and there are people at all levels and ages who are part of the team. Coach Kate is an expert and gives me feedback on my form when I need it. The coaches are great about meeting people where they are at and also adapting classes for people who are dealing with injuries or specific limitations. There is always a clear and organized plan about what we are working on, including the use of a free app that shows us how to do the moves ahead of time, if we want to know what's coming up. We can also easily log all our workouts to see progress. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my progress since starting at 8 limbs. I was originally planning to get a personal trainer to build up my strength, but it turns out, all I needed was the 8 Limbs strength classes!

Trained here for about 9 months. They teach great solid fundamental Muay Thai. It's an excellent workout and the coaches are extremely knowledgeable. The clinch work is amazing. If you have experience they do tend to stick to fundamentals and the classes can get repetitive some times. As far as the culture and environment, there are definitely a select few individuals that were extremely cool and welcoming in this gym hands down. Apart from that the environment can sometimes feel cultish and a bit passive aggressive and condescending from both the coaches as well as some of the members and there is favoritism. I unfortunately cancelled my membership because I was called out and pretty much embarrassed in front of the entire class and parents that were there watching their kids during sparring. For context it was my very first time sparring there and I was just moving naturally and the coach's reaction and approach was a bit aggressive and off putting and honestly made me feel uncomfortable. I am naturally strong and would say I was moving at medium intensity. He made a comment suggesting he put one of his fighters on me and that alone right there made me uneasy. As the only black woman in an entire class of 60 plus students I felt out of place and kind of froze so I did decide to cancel and kindly remove myself. Prior to coming here I didn't train for years and I definitely appreciate them for giving me the opportunity to get back on the mats. For me personally its a sacrifice getting to the gym, so to get there and experience that was a bit much. Respectfully 🙏🏾
