Amazing place for training in Muay Thai, the staff is amazing and so are the trainers. Friendly, knowledgeable and above all - professional. Great for kids and adults looking to get in shape, build up confidence and great for those seeking to get into the professional MMA world as fighters or trainers.

Where do I begin? The staff, trainers, students are all amazing. I was lucky enough to find MTK on my commute home and to work. The class schedules make it very easy to fit in my day to day. Not sure why I was nervous attending my first few classes, but I was welcomed with open arms and quickly felt like I belonged there. My only regret is the days I was unable to attend class. Nothing starts your day like a good workout and some combat action. I can’t recommend this place enough.

If you’re looking for a place to transform not only your body, but also your mind, THIS is it. Not only do you get a UNBELIEVABLE workout, but you learn to push your own boundaries and train with some of the BEST people. No experience? No problem!! The coaches are fun and give amazing feedback, the front desk is always bright and welcoming, and the owners are hands on in BOTH locations. The vibes here are unmatched, so go get your gloves and come to the gym where the real winners focus on Winning!!

Great Muay Thai gym! The coaches are knowledgeable and experienced. The front staff is professional and caters greatly to the needs of the customers. Sadly, I wasn’t able to go as much due to work and nagging injuries but thank you to Kru Neil and Kim for all the help. Definitely check out this place as they will help you on your fitness goals and make you a leaner, stronger, and tougher human!

MTK is an excellent spot for kids. Alongside mastering Muay Thai Kickboxing, they gain discipline, respect, and camaraderie. The workouts are beneficial, teaching kids to identify the specific body parts theyre stretching. Commuting from Los Angeles for a year, and its absolutely worthwhile! Coach Kru is remarkable, demonstrating patience and personalized attention for each child, whether for training or character development.

I couldn’t be any prouder of my first born. He has been having such a hard time in middle school but putting him in kickboxing has been such a great thing for him! It’s only been a week and his grades are improving, his attitude has improved, his confidence in him self he speaks up for himself. He tells me mom I have good energy I leave all my negative energy at the bag and I feel great I’m happy! This has been music to my ears. I did my homework and I obviously had my reservations about it what if he uses his fist to start fights what if he becomes the bully but thank you to @mtkgymla they are inspiring him they are guiding him and cheering him on. Helping me guide him on the path to success and for that I thank you coach kru, Rayleigh a special thanks to Kim for all of your help in getting us started and helping this stressed out mama out, all of your team (I am so bad with names and I’ll get better) thank you so much for all your help and for making us feel like family this has been an amazing journey so far and we can’t wait for more. Any parents out there considering this for your child I highly recommend you won’t regret it.

Very professional gym! The staff is so helpful, Jennifer is the best. She showed me where all the equipment was and took the time to pick out which plan to go with. No pressure at all for the membership. Clean gym too. Ive been to several others in the area but by far this is the most clean and it didnt stink of sweat. There is so much that comes with the membership from meal plans, to checking body fat %, and so much more. No wonder this is the highest rated in the area!

This place & all the coaches and members & the community that makes it - is unreal. All levels, genders, ages are so so welcomed. Its amazing to see all walks of life from tiny kids to older seniors kicking and pounding bags!!!!Its been two months since I joined MTK & easily has been the best decision in my life. Not only do I feel lighter on my feet but also in my mind. I feel confident I can tackle any challenge or stress that might come up in my day because I have have already hit bags in the morning or at the end of night. You vs you & the bag. This practice and KRU NEIL 🙏 has taught me to stop overthinking and just BE. Enjoy the present moment. While kicking and releasing tons of any stuck energy!!! 🥊🥊I love you MTK ❤️

It’s been 3 weeks now since my partner and I signed up…and wow, it’s been a great experience so far!!! Whether you’re looking to get a good workout in, learn self defense, or actually train to compete, they got you. All levels are welcomed. Everybody is very friendly and welcoming, from the staff to the teachers, to the students themselves. They also have two locations: one in Glendale, and the other in Noho. So, if you’ve been thinking about it, we highly recommend you go check them out! You won’t regret it!! :)

As someone who was looking for a fun environment to workout in. This is the place! If you have a busy work schedule I promise you- you can make time here because they have classes starting even before most people are up.

Words may not be enough to fully express my deep appreciation and love for MTK Gym, but I am going to try...Kru Neil’s unwavering passion for what he does shines through with every class he teaches and every interaction you have with him. He genuinely cares about the well-being of his students and works tirelessly to bring out the best in everyone.The positive energy and culture that he and his coaches and staff have built around MTK is infectious, and it keeps everyone motivated! Each coach has their own unique style and they all make the classes fun and challenging at the same time. MTK is truly a special place that meets you where you are but also pushes you to be the best version of yourself. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun, positive environment to get a great workout while challenging yourself!Today actually marks one year since my first official class at MTK. I continue to be in awe of and inspired by my coaches and fellow members every day. So thankful to have found this gem! Keep up the great work, MTK!!! ❤️

My journey being part of the MTK family for almost a year has been amazing. Learning different techniques and skills from each coach has been a wonderful experience. Being a member has not limited me from getting a great sweat, developing my defense ability, patience and commitment. The transition from going to Muay Thai instead of a gym has given me a sense of belonging and confidence. I would highly recommend for anyone to give it a try and be open minded to a different experience because you never know if this is the community you have looking for.

Wow this gym is just amazing. Firstly I want to start off with the coaches and how welcoming they are whether you have been doing muay thai for years or just started it doesn’t matter they welcome anyone. It is also great to see coaches willing to help you get better with your craft and is a very friendly environment. If you are interested in muay thai and is getting started I would 100 percent recommend this place.

I met kru Neil in an incredibly difficult period of my life. I came in a complete stranger and he takes the time to treat every one of his students like family. He has helped me grow and devolpe skills inside the gym and out. As a teacher he is second to none. As a man he leads by example. He treats his best students the same as his freshest. I truly believe this is why the mtk family he has built is so powerful and welcoming, its from the top down. Coach Ed and coach Pierce as well as Jen, Paige, and all the ladies are so welcoming it makes me proud to be apart of a community where everyone wants the best for each other. If you want to fight, get in shape, or just be around positive people this is the place.

Where do I even begin about my awesome experience with MTK Gym? If you’re looking for a place to learn martial arts, get in shape, and connect with one of the top professional coaches, this is the best place to sign up. The staff here are truly amazing and welcoming. All ages and genders are welcome to join the trainings. I have been a member since 2021 and my journey here has been incredibly successful. MTK gym feels like home and I wouldn’t change anything about this place! Thanks to all the coaches for making the classes challenging and enjoyable! :)

I just moved to California and was in search for a gym that wasnt your standard hodgepodge Frankenstein of seven different practices shoved under one roof (which has been my experience when it comes to Muay Thai) and accidentally stumbled on MTKs website. To say I am grateful for finding this place is an understatement. Firstly, the facility is neat and clean without the scent of ammonia on the mats attacking your nose as soon as you walk in. Its spacious as well, no matter how big the classes get it never seems to get overcrowded.On the training end, Coach David has been a real baller! Not only is he an experienced practitioner and active fighter with titles under his belt, his encouragement of you to keep going when you feel youre about to heave a lung due to rigorous training really gets you going!Absolutely would recommend to everyone!

If you want to learn Muay Thai to fight pro, amatuer fights, just get into shape, or practice technique with sparring partners of all different skill levels MTK is the place to go! Everyone at MTK is very humble, respectful, welcoming, and willing to work with you quite a lovely bunch of people. The training sessions are top notch and will allways TEST YOUR MIGHT. I am very humbled by Kru Niel all the coaches and staff and greatful for there willingness to teach and push me, as well as there support and possitive attitudes, and am extremely greatful for the opportunity to be trained by World Champions, and Title Fight Champs. MTK will not only mold you into a champ in the ring, but into a Champion in the trials you are facing in life! Also they have plenty of bags, and heavy bags to crush, and a very spacious clean and secure sfacility MTK!!!

I never really liked going to a regular gym because I don’t know what to do or how to use the equipment and it’s so boring to me. I found MTKG and I won’t go anywhere else! There’s tons of classes to fit any schedule and it’s so much fun, It’s like a family, everyone supports each other and the coaches are so involved individually and as a class! I have been going now for years and my mental and physical strength has grown tremendously! Forever grateful for my 5AM crew and Kru !

My absolute favorite workout. Whipped me into shape over the last year. Trainers are so encouraging and are the heart of the community. Between jammin music, burpees and self defense drills, it’s really the only workout you need - especially women - get at this!

Its a great gym! Ive been coming for almost two years now. The variety of class times makes it easy to work into my schedule. Ive found 515am is the best fit for me. I get the workout in before work and I can spend time with the fam in the evening. Coaches are friendly and happy to answer questions. Ive made some good friends at MTK. Nothing brings you closer then smashing some pads together 🐘

Just started training and it’s been awesome. All the coaches are very knowledgeable and experienced. This is great cardio if you don’t like running(which I don’t) and a great stress reliever! Can’t wait to continue training and see how far I go in Muay Thai!

HANDS DOWN one of the best gyms we’ve trained as a family. Great communication from Kru Neil and awesome staff. Clean gym! Accessible lockers for personal items etc. My husband and I attended the adult class at MTK and the instructor Nate Foster knows how to push you to the limit in the best way possible with your workouts and detailed technique. Our son went in right after with the kids class and let me say I highly appreciate the welcoming arms and encouragement from the staff. You will not leave disappointed! Such a family vibe as soon as you walk in the doors. I highly recommend checking out Kru Neils Muay Thai and Kickboxing gym. Can’t wait for my family and I to return! 6.23.22

A Stellar Experience at Muay Thai Kickboxing GymFrom the moment I walked into Muay Thai Kickboxing Gym, I was met with an atmosphere of warmth, respect, and dedication. The members are genuinely friendly, making newcomers feel instantly at ease. The trainers are exceptional – not only are they skilled in their craft, but they also take the time to personally assist each participant, ensuring that our form is correct and offering invaluable tips to enhance our technique.One of the standout features of this gym is the pairing system. As a beginner, I was paired with more advanced members who were not only patient but also remarkably helpful. This created an environment where learning was accelerated by tapping into the expertise of seasoned practitioners.The diversity in experience levels among members ensures a dynamic training environment. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned fighter, there’s always something to learn and someone to learn from. After witnessing the dedication and camaraderie firsthand, I didn’t hesitate to commit to a full year upfront.In summary, Muay Thai Kickboxing Gym offers not only top-tier training but also a community of passionate individuals. I’m eagerly looking forward to mixing up my training, enhancing my skills, and forging new friendships in the year ahead.

I joined MTK more than a year ago and it’s been an amazing experience so far. I had been wanting to join a Muay Thai gym for some time but was intimidated because I had never been into any kind of combat sport and thought I might be the only woman in the class. So happy MTK proved me wrong! The MTK community is super welcoming and encouraging. I love that there are a lot of women in every class, sometimes even more than men. It’s a great workout and is a great way to release all my stress while learning self-defense. Kru Neil and all the coaches are awesome! They hold me accountable and check up on me if I miss too many classes. The MTK family cares about their students and wants to see them succeed. I highly recommend joining if you’ve been thinking about getting into Muay Thai!

Such a welcoming and infectious passionate environment here at MTK! One thing that I’ve always loved about this studio is that there is such an effort that flows from the leadership down to cultivate and build community and leaders.I’m incredibly grateful to Kru Neil, all the coaches, Jenn - for their unwavering patience and support to my growth in the few months I’ve been attending. To say the least, their guidance extends beyond expertise technique, fostering discipline, resilience, community and a profound sense of accomplishment.Thank you all SO MUCH for your dedication to me!! - Sending you my Hugs, Priscilla.

Highly recommended for all ages and abilities. Kru Neil and his coaches are legit. Everyone, members and staff here are friendly, welcoming, and helpful. After I started training there, I quickly signed up my kids fort their little trunk program. Training here is top notch whether if you want to get fit or if you want to become a fighter. I am having fun, learning to fight, and getting fit. My kids are also, loving it. The little trunk program helps them develop in so many areas of their lives and they know there is no participation trophies at this gym or in life.

We moved to North Hollywood in 2020 January and kept passing by Bellair and seeing MTK and always wondered what it was. Then in 2022 January, we were all thinking the kids need physical activity, so something told me to give the idea of kickboxing a try since it was so close to us. I got my oldest son and head to MTK to get detials and that same day we signed up. Then when we saw how great it was for him, then a mother later we had our youngest son sign up. In March of 2022, I was looking to do something out of the mundane and seeing how much my sons were enjoying, I said why not, let me try and see what its all about since my doctor said I have to do sometime at leat for an 1 hour a day that makes me drenched in sweat. As soon as I started taking things seriously and challenging myself to keep up with the pace, I started seeing the changes both in my health and strength. As I started to understand the sport and how the preparation and consistency in traing is so important in improving in the sport, it then became a daily necessity for me for health and strength. I have not looked back since and I even train at home to improve in the sport when I cant make it to the class. Thank you Kru Neil, your love for teaching is visible in all your coaches and your consistency in checking up on your students and always being approachable is a gift you have that makes the difference.-Sam

What can I say? I love MTK. I had zero experience with Martial Arts before joining. I was initially skeptical and scared, but I wanted to learn something new; therefore, I pushed myself to try it. When I stepped in, Jen was the first person I interacted with. She was very kind and patient and took the time to explain how the process worked. She asked me to take a trial class, but I had already allowed myself to take 3 months off from my boot camp gym to learn kickboxing, so I skipped it and signed up immediately.Since I had zero experience, I did not know what to expect. However, every experienced member I interacted with was very patient and encouraging. That made me feel welcomed and safe. Kru Neil was also patient, and his positive energy was very contagious.Like I said at the beginning, I love this place. Almost two years have passed, and I keep learning new techniques and strategies daily.What I like most about it is the workouts are an opportunity to strengthen your body and work your short-term memory with every combination.If you feel hesitant about joining, come and try it. MTK offers a safe environment. The administrative staff and coaches are fantastic. You wont regret it.

They truly making learning Muay Thai a fun experience!! I’m so dead after class but feel soooo great & pumped for the day!! And the community is just as amazing!! Everyone is so welcoming, supportive, and embraces the growth mindset!! Plus, we roll deep to support our fighters and bring back W’s!! Coach David recently won his first belt and going for another! The front desk staff is also super friendly and helpful!! And if you’re lucky, you’ll be greeted by Kim’s adorable dog which will make you instantly smile!! This gym also offers camps throughout the year and seminars with Muay Thai Legends. Last year we had Super Girl & Rodtang!! Excited for who we’ll have in 2024!! There’s also lockers to put your things, restrooms, water, merch, snacks, drinks, etc. You need it? They have it! Come visit nowwww!! You’ll walk out feeling better than how you walked in!

MTK Gym is the best place to train at for Muay Thai. They have the best coaches who are always willing to help and give guidance whether it’s a smaller class or a packed house. They also have a wonderful friendly staff at the front desk. The gym is super nice and very clean. The workouts are no joke but they are so worth it when you see the results. My schedule is very chaotic at times so I love the fact that they have so many different class times for me to choose from. The community of people is also amazing and I’ve never felt embarrassed or insecure as everyone helps out one another. Ever since I began my journey at MTK Gym, I can honestly say it has had such a positive impact on my life not only physically but mentally and emotionally as well. I highly recommend anyone who is thinking about trying out a class at the gym to definitely do it, you will not regret it.

MTK has been a blessing for my family! My son has dealt with several issues regarding mental health/learning disabilities, and enrolling him at MTK has been the a true pillar in his growth and journey. I originally heard about the gym because my brother and nephew attended, and with the recommendation of my son’s therapists we decided to give it a go. Of course at the beginning he had his moments, but the MTK family made him feel safe to be himself and showed him that there are other ways of dealing with life and at the end of the day it’s all about hard work and fun. Kru and the other coaches have shown my son so much grace while at the same time teaching him immense amounts of discipline and confidence. They also ensure that the my son and all kids understand the importance of not only having great behavior at the gym but in life and all that they do as well! It brings joy to my heart the excitement that he has about going and that HE himself wants to go and I don’t even have to ask, it is just a part of his day. The family aspect of this gym from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave is something that is hard to come by and we are forever grateful for.

I joined MTK for Muay Thai three months ago, and my experience has been phenomenal. As a college student, its difficult to balance my schedule between my academic classes and combat sports. However, with the various practice times that MTK offers, theres surely a training time that can fit into your schedule. Not only did Muay Thai training make me physically more capable and healthier, but throughout the three months I have been here, I have also learned about the art of discipline. Martial Arts is a great teacher of discipline, and as a college student, it has greatly helped me with the focus of my classes and time management as well. If youre considering signing up and joining MTK Gym, do it. I absolutely recommend it. Great gym, Amazing staff. Kru Neil has built one of LAs best martial arts gyms.

This is the only physical activity I’ve ever done in my life that I would wake up for at 4 am to go to a 5 am class following grueling 12hr shifts as a nurse because it is just THAT enjoyable. I would go to class everyday if I was able to.The coaches and even the members are very welcoming to new members regardless of your experience level with any type of combat sports.Can’t say enough good things about Kru Neil. But what I truly appreciate about him the most is that he truly cares about EVERY SINGLE MEMBER, on and off the gym.

I have been coming to this gym for about 2.8 years and now I can say that I have nothing but good things to say about the main coach Kru Neil he has pushed me and helped me when I was going through a period of anxiety I was about 100-110 pounds when I joined I recently went up to 140lbs here is a picture of me next to Rodtang for comparison.

Mannn MTKG has literally changed my life!First let me start by saying that the staff is amazing! They are helpful, detailed, personable and dedicated to making sure we always have the best experience. The Coaches all remember you by name and the merch is fly, high quality and affordable. Everyone has great energy and the gym is very spacious and well kept at all times.I am currently in the best shape of my life and I owe it all to Kru & MTKG. I started training back in 2020 but had to leave due to travel for work. I told Kru I would return once I was back in town and here we are years later and I’m back baby! When I decided to sign back up it was a seamlessly process that took about 15 mins or less.I jumped back in full fledge and I have been grinding ever since. It’s been about a few months and the classes are so good I already made enough progress to have the confidence to go to the next level. I plan to start sparing next month and I’m ready to bring the pain lol!Sincerely,Antonio W.Cheers !

Ive been a member of MTK for over a year. I joined because I wanted to learn how to fight for self-defense. I also needed an outlet for depression. I didnt have any prior martial arts experience so naturally I was nervous about starting. This gym is incredibly welcoming. Not just among the staff but everyone training there as well. Theres people of all skill levels and ages at the gym. The coaches are all very knowledgeable, with some of them being lifelong practioners with decades of experience.Its a fantastic gym from the top down. From the owner/head trainer Kru Neil, to the person training next to you. They actually care about you as a person. There was a time where I was injured from something non muay thai related so I didnt show up for a week. Kru Neil reached out to me personally to see if I was okay, as Im a person whos there almost every day. The gym wasnt losing money by me not showing up that week. He reached out because he actually cares about the people training at his gyn. Thats how everyone at MTK is, they want you to succeed and be the best version of yourself. Thats not something you find at every business. Thats what makes MTK special.

I have been a member of MTK Gym for a few years and it’s been an absolutely wonderful experience. I not only get a great workout but everyone at the gym ( Kru Neil, gym staff, students) treat you with respect and are always willing to help you. I would definitely recommend MTK Gym to my family and friends.

Great place, coaches and exercise routines.Updates: my 6 yo kid has been going here for little over a year now. The camaraderie the team helps to build at the gym is phenomenal. Beyond that hes developed phenomenal upper body and lower body strength. Even though he does not play baseball or football, he constantly gets complements on how good his throws are and I attribute all to this gym classes. There are days where he does not want to go although thats only till he gets there. He has a lot of fun once in the class.The exercises and lightening round are a great way to connect neural pathways that help with any other sport. As a parent were very appreciative of the staff and coaches who help instill discipline and strength in him.

I dont have enough good things to say about this gym. This is the only physical activity I can wake up in the morning for at 4 am to go for the 5 am class, do my 9 to 5 and still try to go in after work for another class. I def would not recommend anyone starting out doing 2 sessions same day, but it gives you an idea how fun this gym is. All the trainers know their stuff, Coaches Mike, Ed, David and Kru Neil are well versed in the sport, and can tailor the workouts to longtime MMA practitioners and beginners alike! Would def recommend this to anyone thinking about trying out Muay thai or looking to try something different to get back in shape.

My favorite time of day is when I can come to MTK and get a nice sweat in. The ambiance is incredible. The staff and students are both equally supportive and encouraging. Since I’ve started class, I feel much more disciplined and motivated in my life too. Joining this gym has been my best decision yet, and I can’t recommend it enough.Update 3months later: I’m a few months away from hitting my one year mark at MTK and I just keep loving it more and more with every passing day. I look forward to coming into class whenever I can and with the help and guidance of all of my coaches and fellow trainees, I’ve seen so much improvement. I also love seeing so many new faces all the time and seeing them improve. This place is a breeding ground for inspiration. It’s all about the work you put in and I’ve seen so many people really reap the benefits. It makes me proud to be a part of such an amazing team.

Originally came to this gym with wanting to lose weight and get in shape as I was overweight. I knew I needed motivation I couldn’t just join any regular gym. But with the help and push and motivation from Kru Neil and the fellow coaching staff makes you feel like a big family. Even Kru Neil takes his time to learn the he hasn’t seen them! Definitely the motivation I needed to lose my weight in less than a year. Since I first started I came in intimidated at first but everyone here is friendly and understanding. Even in sparring it’s a very controlled friendly environment no ego trips and that’s what made it more addicting for me. I highly recommend this gym for beginners who want to learn Muay Thai! Or lose weight and if age holds you back it’s never too late to join a healthy lifestyle we have older people at our gym and they can kick a$$!!

MTK has provided an outstanding Muay Thai experience for me, making it an ideal place for both newcomers and experienced fighters. Led by Kru Neil, this place transformed my view on martial arts. From being an absolute beginner to achieving milestones, my journey has been nothing short of exhilarating. The gym itself is massive and pristine, often remarked upon by friends Ive brought over.MTK caters to everyone - first-timers or seasoned pros, ensuring each one feels part of the close-knit community. I recall the warmth of my first pad holders, Greg and Israel, who despite their intimidating prowess, guided me through the art with immense patience.Special thanks to all the coaches, past and present, who have contributed to the vibrant spirit of MTK. Each one has left an indelible mark on my martial arts journey.If youve ever thought of embarking on a martial arts journey or just want a fun, dynamic way to stay active, look no further than MTK. From a former beginner, this is THE place to start and flourish.

I trialed a class at MTK as I wanted to get into kickboxing. The staff was so welcoming and understanding that I had never trained before.

Your results come from consistency and here at MTKB Gym in NoHo, they care so much about you that they call when you dont show up. Ive never had a training membership that does that. All the coaches are excellent and I always leave with a natural high. Its the reason Ive become addicted to training because I leave feeling so good. Muay Thai is great for self defense especially for the ladies, great for focus, establishing mind-body connection and eliminates overthinking This is a great community!! Come try 🥊🔥💯 You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

I definitely recommend anyone that wants to train Muay Thai to come to MTK Gym. It has such a helpful environment for students of all level to learn. Ive been going for about a month and Im still looking forward to going to every class ever since. Kru Neil and all the coaches and staff are all very nice and helpful to everyone. You will learn so much from all the classes and in sparring on Fridays. The gym is always super clean and the other students are kind and helpful to one another. So dont be afraid to try out Muay thai here and just come out and try the classes and you wont regret it. You will want to get the unlimited classes membership because two classes a week wont be enough to satisfy that urge to keep learning Muay Thai here.

I work and study full-time, so I hesitated to sign up initially, but I knew I needed to incorporate more challenging and consistent workouts into my routine. If you are hesitant like I was, you should sign up for a one-day pass. You wont regret it.Most other gyms/coaches dont care whether youre consistent after you sign a contract, but Kru Neil, the coaches, and the staff at MTK have demonstrated that they care. This is a welcoming and supportive gym, even for beginners. Ive also received nutritional guidance from Kru Neil and calls, texts, or emails asking if & when Ill be back in class. Best of all, classes are frequent enough to accommodate a busy person like myself.I look forward to training with MTK and becoming a better, healthier version of myself as a result.

I was always intrigue to find out what MTK Gym was about. It was not until I had my first hand experience of being robbed at gun point that I took the time to find out what MTK was about. I have always been bored of the traditional gyms. But it took me one class at MTK Gym to realize I had found the perfect gym. I fell in love with the cardio, the skill, the atmosphere, the feeling and the accomplishment. Im so glad I found MTK Gym. I highly encourage women to take a self defense class like this. It makes you discover your abilities and strength. While at the same time enjoying it and making new friends.

After years of passing by this gym my son asked if we could stop by and see what type of kickboxing classes they offer. It only took one class of Muay Thai Kickboxing class now we are all member’s for life. Usually I would spend an hour and a half to two hours at the gym but after an hour at this kickboxing gym, I’m extremely tired and motivated and I can see results and just less than four weeks that we’ve been members. I also want to mention thanks to my five year old pushing us to stop by now we are loving this gym.

The MTK Gym changed my life. I was diagnosed with stage 4 CKD and I had to change my lifestyle. My diet is heavily limited to specific kinds of food and it gave me a lack of energy. But Muay Thai gave me the motivation to get up and train instead of laying on the couch all day, like most of the people with my condition. It made me not only physically stronger, but also mentally stronger. This gym built a family who train together and support one another. Muay Thai helps me be more than my condition and helps me beat it. Thank you to the staff, coaches, and especially Kru Neil. I highly recommend training with the MTK Gym because it’s made me a better person.

I wouldve loved to have been able to give this Gymnasium 6 STARS if I could have, because thats exactly how long Ive known KRU NEIL: Founder and Co-Owner of Muay Thai Kickboxing Gym (6 Years). His knowledge of the Marial Art is absolutely mind-blowing, as when you start to think youve learned just about everything there is to know, even after half a dozen years of Training, KRU NEIL just continues to dish out endless combinations, combat situations, and techniques like hes some sort of Muay Thai Library Computer Database!Its incredible the amount of knowledge he has for the sport.Ive seen the gym transform over the years, like a caterpillar does a butterfly, and it is really quite impressive how far the gym has come in terms of growth and development. I couldnt be more proud of KRU NEIL and how far he has come! He is a True Inspiration! Hands down he is one of the Top Coaches on the Planet, if not The Top Dogg. The vast knowledge Ive gained just from coming to the gym for so long and working with KRU is something that is absolutely, Priceless. But nothing compares to the Unbreakable bond that we have formed over the years, which Ill say, is the true Blessing throughout my entire time at MTKG.KRU NEIL is not only an Awesome Coach.Hes a Real BIG BROTHER!-stui

I’ve had the privilege to train with Edman, Jen, KruNeil, and Coach Sugar. The front desk staff Haley and Kim were also very knowledgeable and helpful when I signed up. It’s been such a groundbreaking experience for me I cannot wait to keep going back and getting to know everyone else. They are patient and so so kind.

The Little Trunks program has helped my son improve his fitness, mental toughness, confidence and athleticism like no other class. Before MTKG, my son would sit around playing videos games and watching YouTube with no desire to be active. We’ve tried putting him in other sports and nothing ever really stuck, but MTKG’s contagious techniques for inspiring passion and training to become the best version of yourself, has captivated my son’s attention consistently for about 2 years now. I’m beyond grateful for their friendly staff, highly skilled coaches and daily classes to accommodate flexibility in your schedule or serious dedication to grow if you chose to take advantage of it. I feel like we struck gold finding this place and recommend parents give MTKG Little Trunks a shot for you kids. Since my son says, “I look up to my coaches and they make me feel safe and strong and it makes me want to get better and better”, we definitely plan to stick around for the long haul!

Around of August 12, 2023 I was initially interested in this gym because I lived in the area. I payed them $40 dollars to “reserve” a spot for an early morning training.I wasn’t able to make my first training and I got in contact with them to tell them it was because of an emergency.I told them I was out of town and they pressed to try and get me to reschedule. However, I was no longer able to attend this gym because since then I don’t live in the city.I got in contact with them to get my $40 refunded but the ladies over the phone gave me the run around. Two different girls over the phone said they were not authorized to give me the money back. That their manager was going to get in contact with me because she was the only one that can authorize.I never was contacted by the manager nor was I ever refunded. I never signed a contract, never received a receipt, and I was never told that the $40 were non refundable. It was an overall sketchy experience.

MTK GYM in Hollywood, is the place to train!My family and I traveled from Washington state for a hollywood vacation. Out of all the things we did, training at MTK gym was definitely one of the highlights for my son and I.Thank you to coach Martin for giving my son a private lesson. He was engaging, skillfull and full of knowledge. Coach Martin gave us a strong but well balanced approach, to Muay Thai fighting. We have alot of conditioning to do before my sons upcoming smoker fight. I am confident that we will be ready if we use Coach Martins suggestions and techniques for training everyday until the fight.Thank you to coach David as well. We participated in MTKS Muay Thai kickboxing class after the private training. Coach David made sure everyone understood what to expect before we got to it. He reviewed the technique he taught us the right amount of times to ensure no one was left behind. While Coach David was there to ensure the techniques and workouts were being done right he definitely pushed everyone to perform at their best.Conditioning is no joke at this gym. MTK gym has an great atmosphere and lots of room to move around. If you want a good workout while learning top knotch Muay Thai techniques this gym is the place to go.Much respect and thank you to Coach Martin and Coach David and to the rest of the MTK staff.

I started training at MTK in June 2022 and it’s the best decision I’ve made all year. Kru Neil is an amazing trainer, coach, owner, accountability partner, etc. all in one. When I first started, he personally reached out the night I signed up. As someone who struggles with anxiety, this was super encouraging for me to make it to my first 5am class. He partners up new people with more experienced people so you don’t have to worry about getting picked last lol. Kru Neil also checked in after my first class and consistently thereafter for my first month or so. He randomly still checks in, especially if I don’t go for a few days, yes to keep me accountable to my progress, but also because they really care about you at MTK. His dedication to my progress has really helped me build the foundation to establish the discipline I need to keep striving towards accomplishing my goals.There’s been a few changes with the coaches the last few months, but they’re all amazing. There are a few MTK practices that they each adhere to, but they all have their own unique ways of teaching and what they focus on. For one reason or another, you’ll likely find yourself leaning towards a specific coach. However, it’ll be a disservice to your training to only stick to classes with one of them.Martine, gives you that tough love with endless laughs. I call him el regañón because he stays yelling at me lol but only because he sees my potential and can tell when I’m in my head versus in the game. He really takes his time to give every single person present in class individual feedback. He’s been key in helping me get out of my head and flowing through the combos. He has really taken the time to help me build my confidence and has pushed me to go beyond even what I thought I could do. Thanks to him, I got out of my head and I’m faster and hitting harder.Coach Parrish teaches you how to fight smart— his combos focus on keeping that guard strong, controlling your opponent, optimizing position, and mastering the basics to build complexity. With four rounds per pad holder, he brings out the warrior in you and teaches you how to grind through and keep going. He spends time each class going around, tries holding for each person when possible, and really strives to give individual feedback. He’s taught me balance lol and to not prioritize speed at the expense of my technique.The front staff: Amazing!!! They literally remember everyone’s name and regularly check in with you to make sure you’re good. The degree of involvement and sheer joy I see with all of them every time I walk in (late 😅) is rare and special.The teammates you’ll come across at MTK are one in a million. They push you towards your full potential, and keep encouraging you when you’re ready to give up. As you’re just starting, everyone is super encouraging and take the time to support you as you get things down. As you progress, they’re there to remind you of how far you’ve come and are there to get you to the next level. Even as I become more experienced, they still help me get down whatever exercise I’m struggling with. As someone with ADHD, I don’t always catch everything, and they’re always there to help me fill in the gaps. Best of all, they make training fun. Things regularly switch from laughing to grinding through an exercise together.And key to why I picked MTK over other gyms is their schedule. As a behavior analyst, I have clients all over the SCV and the SFV and my schedule has to accommodate a lot of moving parts. As a PhD student, my need for self care varies but is constant and their awesome schedule allows me to fit in training on a regular basis.

My family is an MTK Family and MTK Gym is a Family in itself! I have been training there for 8+ months and 2 of my kids (6 & 8 years old) have been training there consistently for 3 months and we all cannot get enough. We have found Muay Thai to be an amazing art that has brought increased physical and mental health to our household. While starting a martial art such as Muay Thai can be intimidating, the coaches and staff at MTK Gym teach Muay Thai for both fighters and everyday folk completely removing any fear of the art form, injury, physical content, etc. Kru Neil and all the coaches are so amazing in establishing the most safe and friendly environment, which rubs off on all the people training at the gym as it is such a fun, friendly & family environment, everyone is so welcoming and inclusive. Coaches Martine and Jo are also so amazing with the kids, my kids cannot wait for each class and even want to stop Karate and do more Muay Thai now! All of the coaches have a wealth of knowledge and run each class slightly different so there is never any monotony. The classes consist of warm ups, technique training and weight lifting and calisthenics, I guarantee you will be drenched in sweat after each class and looking forward to your next session. The gym itself is very modern and unbelievably clean and hygienic, they pay extra attention to keeping everything sanitized and safe. Lastly, MTK Gym offers the most comprehensive and flexible class schedules out of any Muay Thai gym in the Valley and greater LA which is a major plus. While they offer general classes daily, you can also sign up for Wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu and Sparring once a week as well. Suffice to say, sign up for a trial class and you will not regret it, rather you will be addicted and completely invigorated!

If you ever wanted to start training muay thai kickboxing this is a great place to start. If you have trained before and are looking for a new gym to get back into it this place has everything you need. Ive been at this gym for a few years now and its great. The gym is always extremely clean, its open at multiple times throughout the day and the trainers are respectful and patient. They have a ton of heavy bags and thai pads. I literally gave up weight training because I love training here so much. The main coach Kru Neil is a rare find. Hes been doing Muay thai damn near his whole life and has competed professionally. He has no ego whatsoever and has the skill set to take you to the next level. The program here is unique because all classes have people from different levels and everyone is able to walk away with something they did not arrive with. The coaches are very good at observing your skill level and pairing you with a partner that is at a similar level. The workout is very intense and youll be shredded fit in no time. I cant say enough good things about this gym. The gym is open 7 days a week and the pricing is fair. The hours range from 5am all the way to 845pm. Its the cleanest muay thai gym I have ever seen, the coaches will take their time to show you how to be more efficient and they have all heavy bags and that pads needed to accommodate large groups so no one is left out. They even have Olympic rings for pull ups. They have lockers for all your belongings, hand sanitizers as well as 2 bathrooms. The staff clean and sanitize everything throughout the day. Whatever your experience level is with muay thai, you should definitely give them a try and see for yourself.

I have known Kru Neil for 21 years. I joined the Gym when it was located on Lanark Street where Neil was training as a fighter. I saw him fight various opponents and watched him dismantle each and every one of them. Kru Neil and his gym have evolved over time and I have followed him to every new location. His Muay Thai Gym design layout has continually improved and his teaching ability to create fighters has evolved and improved over the years. There is no other gym I am prouder to be a member of. Kru Neil takes his job extremely serious. He is strict because Muay Thai is a serious martial art, but he is also extremely kind and you will not find a more genuine instructor who cares about your health and well-being more than Kru Neil does. There are numerous times where life has been difficult for me and Kru Neil has always been there to say the words to bring me back to life. I have had the opportunity to compare MTK Gym with others and Muay Thai gyms in different cities, including Muay Thai gyms in Thailand and I can tell you that MTK has been able to figure out an excellent structure for anyone looking to learn Muay Thai, even those whom eventually want to fight competitively. They offer classes that fit anyone’s schedule. Their front desk staff is amazing, especially Jen whom I also remember from the Lanark days. Most importantly the MTK Gym is clean. Even with all my travels, and various memberships at other gyms, MTK gym is the one gym I’ve never once thought I should cancel.

No experience? No problem!I was referred to this gym by a gentleman I met at the gym. I am glad he referred me. I have no experience in these types of gym and was not sure if this gym would be accommodating for newbies. Boy, was I wrong!First off, the lady running the front of the gym was super friendly. She made me feel right at home, even though it was my first time there. She also took the time to explain to me what I should expect and how the class would go. Thank you Jen for being so welcoming and friendly. Those details make a big difference for someone who has never worked out in a fighting gym.Second, the class was awesome! The teacher, Kru Neil, is like a personal trainer. He brings the energy, the skill, the tempo, and the drive. The best part is that even in a class with mixed experience, Kru Neil knows how to mix it up so EVERYONE benefits from the class, and not just those with a lot of experience.If you are looking for an awesome way to workout and have fun at the same time, this might just be it. If you are looking to gain some emptyhanded skills, Kru Neil and MTK have the technique.The other students also made it a great class. Some of the more experienced students took some time to teach me and correct my technique since I was a newcomer. They were super welcoming and made me feel extremely comfortable. Just by one visit, I could tell that this group and this gym were close knit.Thank you Kru Neil and MTK for having such a great facility to exercise and learn!

After leaving NYC and moving to Southern California I had been in search of a new Muay Thai gym. I came across MTKG after a recommendation from a previous trainer. Kru Neil and his team of staff and coaches are all top notch humans. As for the gym; the establishment is equally class. The facilities are only out done by the workouts and camaraderie that ensues once you step in the building. If your looking to better your body and mind; do yourself a favor and meet Kru Neil and his team. You won’t be disappointed.

Update!!! Original review below. But I wanted to reflect on how grateful I am after seeing the progress I have made with MTK. I love seeing some muscle slowly coming, but it is the fact that I am living such a better life overall that makes me such a happy member.I have lived with back injury for many years. It took me literally years to touch my toes comfortably. Sitting for travel or pushing through activities required days of recovery. A lot of advice I got was to accept that getting older comes with long term pain and weight gain. But I have no intention on going down without a fight. Enter MTK where I have been working and strengthening. The best part, I just returned from an outdoor focused vacation with my kids. I was able to ocean kayak, climb, travel and live! I did all these things that I was not sure I would ever be able to do again. And I finished them strong. I cannot articulate how wonderful that is. I am still not a skilled Muay Thai fighter by any means. I still have issues distinguishing right from left even, LOL. But I am stronger and happier and still get to hit stuff!First Review: Love this place. Still pretty new to me, but each class has been very welcoming. Ive been trying different time slots. I have old back injuries and they respect that and find modifications until I strengthen more muscle. But they dont let me slack off either. I come home tired, sore and happy. Great prices for different types of membership and lots of class times helps me get workouts in. Inside is very clean with open doors for cross breeze which feels good in the current pandemic situation. I am not coordinated and look very much like a middle aged mom with no aspirations in becoming a fighter, but only good things can come from such a strong workout!

I’ve been part of the Muay Thai Kickboxing Gym family for a long time now, for 5+ years, and I’ve got nothing but only great things to say. Notice how I said “family” there. When you’re a member there, you’re part of the Muay Thai Kickboxing family there. I’ve explored many dojos, studios, gyms and there’s literally nowhere else like the Muay Thai Kickboxing Gym. I completely understand and as a matter of fact, it will only make sense for those of you who don’t know this gym or about it to feel intimidated as you would feel from any other Muay Thai gyms, as “Muay Thai,” enough said, the art itself is quite intimidating and dangerous and I can only imagine. BUT, the beauty of Muay Thai Kickboxing Gym, what sets this gym apart is, that despite the art itself is intimidating, the type of people there you will never find from any where else, I promise you, as a long-time member of the Muay Thai Kickboxing family. My head coach there will tell you the same thing and he will prove it. I promise you. He teaches his students in the way to be friendly and helpful to others. In a few words, it’s “an intimidating art taught in a friendly environment full of positive vibe that makes the art not intimidating to learn.” Don’t wait and go now 🙂 !

I always wanted to try out Muay Thai but I never had the guts to do it. Once I moved to LA I decided it was probably time to give it a shot. I did some research and found MTKG. I read some reviews on how Kru Neil is an amazing instructor who ensures his gym has the best and friendliest culture, all while maintaining the strict discipline of the martial art. So I decided to give it a shot and here I am months later still here. Whatever youre doing, come thru now, you wont regret it!

Absolutely, love this gym. Kru Neil is an amazing trainer not only does he care about you as a student but he also cares about results and pushes you to be your best. This gym makes you feel part of the club. I feel stronger, more confident. Its like you have your very own personal trainer. I recommend the black package you get unlimited classes and sparring, meal plan. Its worth the money, and it will change your life. Thank you, Kru Neil, for putting in the time every day.

This month is the 2 year anniversary of my membership with MTK.I found this gym during COVID. My cardiologist told me my blood sugar was up (stop drinking) and that I needed to work out. Since all the chain gyms were closed, I found MTK through a google search and they were open, doing classes outside to be CDC compliant. Here are my metrics within 2 years.(Male, 511, early 40s)Before: 197 pounds - 22.4% body fatToday: 204 pounds - 11.2% body fatI had heart surgery as a child and have always needed to live a healthier life (harder to do in the pandemic). MTK has not only provided a gym where you are pushed in the correct ways but you are conditioning your body in ways other gyms just dont.In addition to seeing my physique drastically change (many others have noticed it too) I had seen my friend circle grow. MTK is not just a gym...its a community of like minded people and I wouldnt be the person I am today if it wasnt for this gym.
