Chicago Muay Thai Kickboxing Club

Fantastic experience: I loved the class! It was tough, but not too tough. Great way to get some fun cardio in with a Muai Thai lesson. I am looking forward to my next class! Great location too!

Fantastic experience: Get ready to sweat. I was going 3x/week, and after every class, I was drenched and exhausted. Even if you have no desire at all to fight, the classes will give you a full body workout, and you can't ask for better people to train with. Everyone here is encouraging and Jim won't hesitate to help improve your technique. Brian is a former professional MMA fighter who will drill with you and answer any questions you might have. Get in and get a great workout and meet some really cool people who share your desire to improve.

Fantastic experience: I got a Groupon for 10 classes and I didn't have any experience beforehand, but the two instructors I have had have both been really accommodating and helpful in bringing me up to speed. Not to mention my classmates have also been helpful. The classes themselves can be really challenging, but afterwards you feel like you've gotten a great workout while learning muay thai. If you are interested in muay thai in Chicago I would recommend the Evanston location, which is where I have gone, but I have heard the Chicago locations is great as well!

Fantastic experience: I was new in Chicago and was trying to find a place to train Muay thai. I found them online and decide to try. The head Coach was very welcoming and has a great background in Muay thai and Karate. I have tried different classes at different level, everyone is very friendly. Bryan is a MMA champion and was very good in teaching very cardio class. They also have a great female instructor who actually trained in Thailand. Great place to go for MMA and Muay thai.

Fantastic experience: I attended about seven Muay Thai kickboxing classes through a Groupon. All of the instructors were very helpful and engaging and gave much needed assistance to newbies like myself. They are very good about providing different exercises based on your level of experience, so while some of the class was doing basic moves, the more experienced members were able to spar. The class is very physically demanding depending on what types of moves you are working on that day. It always starts out with a good warm-up that usually incorporates some cardio such as jump rope and then some basic exercises like jumping jacks, push ups, burpies. Then they get into a designated area to work on such as jabs, kicks, elbows, or knees. I always felt like I was learning something new at every class. The studio was nice, although the changing rooms could use some updating. Class sizes ranged from 4 people to about 8 or 10. It never felt too full and I was always able to receive the right amount of personal attention. I highly recommend this place, especially for the kickboxing classes. I'm hoping to return and get a membership after the new year.

Fantastic experience: I love this place!!! The instructors are professional and fun to practice with. I feel stronger after each sessions. I think that Brian and Riot are WONDERFUL instructors. They make the sessions effective and make me feel very comfortable. If I had more time, I would take more classes throughout the week. Jim, make the environment very welcoming and he is a very laid back personality, which definitely make a differences in helping people learn and have more confident. The MMA classes add a wonderful supplement to my fitness routine. I think more women should give this a try, it may seem intimidating at first but I promise you that the place cultivate that fear into strength. I look forward to growing and learning more at Chicago Muay Thai Kickboxing Club. Keep up the GREAT work!

Fantastic experience: This is an awesome school! I had a very intense workout, while learning some self defense techniques as well. The people in class were helpful, and the instructors were great!

Fantastic experience: CMTKC is the most dedicated and disciplined gym I've worked at. I started going to this gym almost 3 years ago as part of my venturing out to learn something new - best decision I've made! Not only have I gotten in shape but I have become more confident in myself and learned to work with others on a physical level. You can find a teacher there that will click with your way of learning things and that's a beautiful thing! Very happy to have a gym where I can continue to push myself in a safe environment.

Fantastic experience: I have a first degree black belt in American Tai Kwon Do, but I always wanted to learn muy thai. This is a great place to start! Muy thai here teaches you realistic self-defense techniques while helping you to stay in shape.

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic time while at Chicago Muay Thai Kickboxing Club. I was a regular going 3-4 times a week. A great workout that gives you real world experience in Self- Defense. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a group workout session. The instructors are their to push you but not belittle you and that goes the same for the people attending the classes as well. You need to go!!

Fantastic experience: While at the Muay Thai Kickboxing Club, I had an intense workout. The instructor was set on ensuring that everyone in the class was doing everything with the proper form. They have plenty of equipment so you don't have to spend too much if you simply want to try the classes. Overall great place. Im definitely going back. The only drawback is that I am a broke college student but I would love to frequent the Muay Thai Kickboxing Club once I have a steady job.

Fantastic experience: I've working out at this place since it used to be on Belmont. Great no frills work out, for people who are not there to try to impress others at the gym. I go to the 5am bootcamp with April, she kicks my husbands and my butt every morning. I am always very glad when it is over. Also it's great to keep seeing the same people in your class. It makes it a family like atmosphere that keeps you motivated.

Fantastic experience: I had an awesome time when I was at Chicago Muay Thai Boxing. Excellent instructors, kick-ass routines (no pun intended). The focus was not your usual "cardio exercise" but truly learning the fundamentals. Which meant drills, drills, and more drills. I loved the sparring sessions which were sometimes ad-hoc at the end of class.

Fantastic experience: Best place for weight loss, cardio, self defense and fight training In my opinion.The gym is fully equipped with everything needed for the serious fighter all the way to the beginner or someone just trying to get fit. i DEFINITELY RECOMMEND .YOU will learn Muay Thai from real masters. I learn how to breath correctly how to use my energy against opponent .And one more time thank you for this, Chicago muay thai kickboxing instructors.

Fantastic experience: love this place no better place to train in chicago

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming atmosphere. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and are friendly & extremely helpful.

Fantastic experience: I’m visiting Chicago for a work convention for the week. I emailed to see if I could train while I was in town. They got back to me and we were able to arrange something. I have been working with Coach James. I’m really happy I got to work with him and at Chicago Muay Thai. It’s been a great experience. If I lived in Chicago I would not think twice about joining Chicago Muay Thai and Kick Boxing Club! Check them out!!!

Fantastic experience: I trained here for the last 6 months that I lived in Chicago. This isn’t only one of the best Muay Thai gyms, it is one of the best martial arts gyms bar none. Each instructor has a unique teaching style they gift to the class. The gym is clean and people are courteous. You can practice just for fitness or learn how to fight and spar with the best. Best fight gym I have ever been to.

Fantastic experience: Best place to learn Muay Thai. Friendly and very oriented on learning and practicing fundamentals. This is the place to go if you want to learn Muay Thai. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to get in shape, always felt great leaving after a session.

Fantastic experience: In January, I signed up my son and I couldn’t any more happier with the organization. My son takes Kid class on Saturday and both Nick and Eric are excellent trainers. They have patience and take their time to check in on kids; form stance and so on. My son also does 1 on 1 instruction with Alex, he is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in his craft, the patience that he has is really admiring. My son is in the spectrum of autism and has childhood apraxia of speech and never have I felt like my son has been ignored or a problem to any of them. My son loves to come in and train with them. I am really thankful and glad that we have chose this gym as a corner stone for our sons learning experience.

Fantastic experience: This has been my go to gym for over 9 years! The gym has an open environment, and you really do get to meet people from diverse backgrounds. Whether your goal is for fitness or compete at a national level, they have the right coaches/training partners for you. The best part about the gym is that it offers so many classes throughout the day, it is hard not to find time even if you finish work late. Throughout the summer, they often have BBQ events after weekend classes! What better way to recoup energy after burning all the calories! I’m grateful for being part of the gym for so many years, and would recommend to anyone seeking a different workout other than weightlifting/cardio.

Fantastic experience: Me parece bueno, a mi hijo le ayuda mucho

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality , Value If you want to be around an environment where you do nothing but get better this is it. Always leave the gym feeling better than when I came in. Always learning something new.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality , Value

Fantastic experience: Its super friendly. Everyone is pretty good and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality , Value I have been to over 10 gyms since leaving Chicago and NOTHING compare to the culture that this gym brings to the table. We train Nonstop FUNdamentals at an intensity that is honestly contagious. The entire gym pushes you to be your best self. 10/10 for value and quality.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend CMT

Fantastic experience: Late review but here it goes: Awesome gym and staff/kru. Some other gyms charge a $200 monthly fee for less class availability (insane). This CLUB is 7 days a week. Multiple times of the day. You can’t beat the price (not insane). Great vibes. Bring your own gloves, shin guards and wraps eventually. After the first few times, you should have your own gear if you’re going to take this serious. Although, They have gear that you can borrow tho if you forgot. Again, this CLUB is where you want to learn Muay Thai/kickboxing. TIP—Don’t come in late to class. Your shoulders will thank me.

Fantastic experience: The most authentic Muay Thai experience outside of Thailand.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. Instructors really want to see you learn and will push you. I used to go to a commercial boxing gym and those instructors teach because it's their job. The instructors here are people who have dedicated their lives to the sport so you know you're learning from the best. Fantastic workout and friendly environment.

Fantastic experience: Great facility to practice Muay Thai Kickboxing.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality , Value

Fantastic experience: I signed up two months ago, had zero experience in martial arts, no sense of community since I just moved to the states from Saudi Arabia. I weighed 183lbs and always struggled with weight cause I have hypothyroidism, I also battled asthma as a kid and lived a childhood devoid of physical activity. Didn’t even walk much, we drove everywhere back home. Now I weigh 152lbs, my body composition, flexibility, agility and fitness level are getting better by the day. I’m learning new skills and perfecting my techniques 6 days a week with amazing trainers and members alike. I’m not only getting in shape, I’m having fun doing it, while being surrounded by a great community.

Fantastic experience: Legit muay Thai gym with classes for all levels from "I've never trained" to pro fighters. Also includes early morning cardio class for conditioning. Best money I spend each month.

Fantastic experience: Been attending classes here for over a year. This is a very supportive gym, and the classes are great for all skill levels. I started with no martial arts experience, but I'm now in the best shape of my life.

Fantastic experience: At first, it's a gym and a good workout. Over time, it becomes a community of friends and a place where you feel at home. I came in with no martial experience and now I'm sucking a little less at it. Being part of the gym also exposes you to people from all walks of life. It's a wonderful learning experience that not only builds fitness, but also character, good eating habits, and lots of shin bruises.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym.

Fantastic experience: As a beginner coming from France, I have trained for 9 months at Chicago Muay Thai Kickboxing Club. I had a great time there. The work-outs were intense, the instructors really engaging and I met friendly American people there, always trying to lift you up. I strongly recommend the gym. I really think that this is the ideal place to discover muay thai in a respectful way, and to stay in good shape!

Fantastic experience: As a new student ,I was welcome with a lot of help from students and trainers and was not intimidated by older students ... helpful environment to take your cardio to next level your fighting skills and improve to a better Muay Thai practitioner.... This gym have everything ...clean and have the same feel like Muay that places in Thailand.... The owner Jym and other trainers are serious and focus to get you better... Love this place...

Fantastic experience: Awesome Gym, great instructors. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get into martial arts/lose some weight/get in shape

Fantastic experience: What can I say..its the best Muay Thai gym in Chicago!

Fantastic experience: I went to a trial class and was immediately hooked! I needed a stress reliever in a non-judgemental professional environment. It's an awesome workout, you really do sweat here :) I was a beginner and felt very welcome and encouraged by the staff. An added bonus is these are REAL Muay Thai fighters who are willing to teach you their skills. They've outgrown their space in Portage park, but are opening a new location just down the street.
