Max muay thai gym - Pattaya

[smossy]

Hi, 

Was wondering whether anyone has had any experience of this gym? Not been able to find much information about them online, or any reviews. I did find a face book page for them, the facility looks at least big and clean.

Any advice appreciated :)

Hi Steve, 

I've been there, although I have not trained there. It's right next to the stadium and the facilities are huge and new. The front is open-air with fans all around, but the gym is fully covered. The rings are at the front, there are two of them, and then there's some weight equipment and treadmills - those are very rare for Muay Thai gyms. They also have a sauna for both the men's and women's rooms. A few Thai fighters train there as Max fighters and I've seen a handful of westerners, mostly French, fighting under the Max Gym banner at the Sunday Max fight cards. If you're interested in fighting for the show, I imagine this is a very good place to train for the connections and all that. If you just want a Muay Thai training experience, this is going to be a "big gym" experience rather than a more traditional one, but trainers around Pattaya tend to be fairly well experienced. I'd certainly say it's worth a try and if you don't like it there are many gyms around Pattaya you could change over to.

Thanks a lot Sylvie, 

I'm definitely not a fighter, and probably too touristy for a traditional gym. Sounds like its worth checking out. Will feed back on the thread next month on how I get on :)

Hi, 

Does anyone know whether this gym is still open please? My first time back in Thailand in 6/7 years - and would like to train here again if possible. 

TIA, Steve
