I pay: $115.00/month (CAD) - no contract - For unlimited kickboxing classes. I've been very lucky with this price, as far as I know, they go around $150+tax CAD in other gyms. And sometimes, you may have to be in a contract and can cost a hefty fee if you break it. My instructor/coaches are really awesome when it comes to flexibility and suspending the account if they haven't seen your body in many weeks; like if i'm sick/injured or lazy lol. And when I come back, they will happily re-initiate the payment again.

Thats not bad, im not too sure if my gym has a contract i pay the walk in which is $20 the monthly i think is $180 which i cant afford/justify yet coz some weeks im pretty busy so i might not make it. Not sure if theres a contract etc.. my first gym charge $30 for a walk in glad i switched because my current ones vibe is just way better and have better coaches smaller class sizes..

Paying around $150 a month for unlimited muay thai sessions, no lock-in contracts or joining fees and you have the ability to pause payments if you're going to be away. There are 7 MT sessions available in a week, made up of a mix of morning, weekend but mostly evening training. Majority of sessions 1.5 hours long so probably works out to be around $10 a session for me. I'm sure there are cheaper options available but the timetable flexibility, longer sessions and location work best for me.

I live in Los Angeles and my local gym is $120 a month but unlimited training.  We actually don't have classes at all.  You just come in when you can and do your warmups. shadowbox, then get on the bag.  Then one of the trainers will come grab and do padwork with you.  If you're up for it after you can always spar or do drills with whoever is at the gym at moment.

Its called The Yard http://theyardmuaythai.com/. It's very unstructured training so you have to push yourself hard if you want to get trained properly.  If you're there not really taking it seriously you won't get much attention from the coaches.

I train in Mtl. It's a boxing first and Muay Thai after gym. But we're top 3 in terms of local fighters in Mtl. There is only 4 classes a week of Muay Thai but I can go train on my own whenever I want. 

I pay 700$ a year. 

Gym's in Mtl are between 60$ to 120$ a month if you pay up-front for a year. But I would say there is only 4 decent gym's in Mtl.

I'm from Australia and I pay $75 a month which is a pretty good price because we get unlimited access to a gym/classes/sauna.

I work in a gym so if you're unstable with life/location/job then don't get stuck in a contract membership

Download free passes so you can try the gym before joining

 

I never really cared how much I'd pay as I was really happy with the team I was training with and I knew my money was going towards something good for me.

 

Goodluck!

    • I think people don't even understand what it was that ONE did. It had almost nothing to do with small gloves, or rulesets or aggression or any of that. It bought up the most developed Thai talent (which was quite cheap, and many past prime) and then poured massive amounts of marketing dollars into taking over comms, and absolutely controlling messaging in very small information ecosystems, squeezing out almost all other content...and used this to create a constant "commercial" of how massive a success it was. They could have done comm control with a totally different combat sport product and have had the very same, if not even better success. It was about manufactured digital footprint.  So when Entertainment Muay Thai tries to model itself on ONE promotional rulesets and styles its actually copying the wrong thing. There is some benefit to mirroring the style and ethos that ONE already seeded the ecosystems with, because all that groundwork has been done, and it changed consumption...but it actually wasn't all the aggression, or the scoring kind or even the knockouts. It was much much more about the sizzle and not much to do about the steak. Its actually the systematic control over messaging, from SEO link farming and story planting, to buying up social media sharing circles and influencers, all the narrative shaping. Traditional Muay Thai as a product is probably even MORE amenable as a product than the made up sport that ONE created. It has massive valuation in terms of depth of complexity (deeper retention investment), historical material (narratives to be driven), and overall skill level. Trad Muay Thai as it bent toward Entertainment versions has copied the wrong thing.  
    • from the same article above, this is one of the primary confusions about traditional Muay Thai...it is not primarily "labor". As Stiegler conditions the difference it is "work" as it involves the "techniques of the self and others" and leads to the "trans-formatio of oneself" and others. In this sense it is vital as a form of work in the field of potential violence.  
    • Why the preservation of traditional Muay Thai, its kaimuay origins and socio-cultural knowledge especially as it relates to violence and the affects matter...diversity of knowledge matters: Only by understanding work in this way can we identify the exosomatic innovations (whether technical or technological) actually required by and compatible with a desirable future for a locality …. This is the work of noesis, that is, of thinking, in all its forms, and as practical as well as theoretical, familial, artisanal, sporting and artistic knowledge, and thus theoretical, juridical and spiritual knowledge in the broadest sense. This belongs to what we therefore call noodiversity and noodiversification.  - Stiegler  Technophany_Entropies_V3N1_AA.pdf

    • Hi all, Does anyone know of any suppliers for blanks (Plain items to design and print a logo on) that are a good quality? Or put me in the right direction? thanks all  
    • The first fight between Poot Lorlek and Posai Sittiboonlert was recently uploaded to youtube. Posai is one of the earliest great Muay Khao fighters and influential to Dieselnoi, but there's very little footage of him. Poot is one of the GOATs and one of Posai's best wins, it's really cool to see how Posai's style looked against another elite fighter.
    • Yeah, this is certainly possible. Thanks! I just like the idea of a training camp pre-fight because of focus and getting more "locked in".. Do you know of any high level gyms in europe you would recommend? 
    • You could just pick a high-level gym in a European city, just live and train there for however long you want (a month?). Lots of gyms have morning and evening classes.
    • Hi, i have a general question concerning Muay-Thai training camps, are there any serious ones in Europe at all? I know there are some for kickboxing in the Netherlands, but that's not interesting to me or what i aim for. I have found some regarding Muay-Thai in google searches, but what iv'e found seem to be only "retreats" with Muay-Thai on a level compareable to fitness-boxing, yoga or mindfullness.. So what i look for, but can't seem to find anywhere, are camps similar to those in Thailand. Grueling, high-intensity workouts with trainers who have actually fought and don't just do this as a hobby/fitness regime. A place where you can actually grow, improve technique and build strength and gas-tank with high intensity, not a vacation... No hate whatsoever to those who do fitness-boxing and attend retreats like these, i just find it VERY ODD that there ain't any training camps like those in Thailand out there, or perhaps i haven't looked good enough?..  Appericiate all responses, thank you!
