This gym has been a lifesaver for me and my kids. It gave my kids an outlet to meet new people, learn socializing skills, get their frustrations out in a very productive way, and form confidence they bring forward into their lives every single day. I have found a love for martial arts that I never had, as I have become a Muaythai Mom! Everyone is welcomed with open arms and everyone here has truly become a part of my family. The instructors are amazing with the kids (and adults) by not only teaching them Muaythai but also teaching them how to be good humans. This is the gym to go to!!

My son has been going here for 4 years so far. He loves it! Great instructors. Family like atmosphere and everyone welcomes you with open arms. No matter what level of experience you have. Price is fair and the training is worth while. If you want to compete or just get in to shape this is the place to go.

Real Muay Thai. I dropped by for a few days while traveling between Flagstaff and San Diego. Was so tired after my first session that I left literally all of my equipment in the locker room. They were super gracious about it and stored it away until I came back to grab it. Sparring was technical, fun and high-level. Both instructors I met (Thiago and Jonesy) and the students are extremely welcoming, and parking space is plentiful, which is a god-send after living in California. Even though Im not a regular student, they still offered me game-changing advice from watching me spar just for a few rounds. Check out their merch too! Its hard to find muaythaiaddict tank tops anywhere. Really one of my favorite places Ive trained, I hope to stop by again soon

I am active duty military and just went home on leave to AZ from England. While visiting my family, my wife and I wanted to train Muay Thai during our downtime. We read the reviews and thought it was worth the 1 hour drive from Litchfield Park. Let’s just say we were beyond impressed. Everyone at the gym has been extremely professional and friendly. We really enjoyed our time there. Thiago and Jonesy are the best!!! If you want to train Muay Thai or need help with staying fit, this is the place to do it. The instructors genuinely care and want to see you improve. I highly recommend putting this gym at the top of your list.

I cant recommend this place enough!!! Good luck finding another gym that can produce champions quite like Sitan Gym! The staff is extremely friendly and eager to answer any questions you may have. I love that it is family friendly so your kids can wear off their energy while you get your workout on! The staff is highly trained and knowledgeable. If youre interested to try a new martial art, theres no better sport than Muay Thai, and no other gym than Sitan!

I’ve been training at Sitan Gym since January and I love it! It’s my first time doing any kind of martial art and all the trainers are super patient and teach the technique so clearly. I really enjoy the warmups and partner drills. It’s a wonderful workout and I’ve made lots of friends! Everyone supports each other no matter your skill level. I am truly grateful to be part of the Sitan family!

Sitan gym is one of the greatest things to happen to my husband. It is such a healthy outlet and support system. The positive effects of him training there go beyond the gym and to my home. Thiago and the rest of the Sitan family have welcomed my kids and I to be a part of their family and I am forever grateful for them. Sitan is more than just a gym!

Joined a few weeks ago, and already seeing body weight, fat shed off, and muscle building. Technique is improving quickly as the trainers here are great and hold you accountable to improving fundamentals. As a former athlete who has gained a ton of weight this is just what I needed. If your looking to train and get addicted to something productive, learn/master a new skill I highly recommend.

I joined Sitan initially in 2014 and was there for a year and a half. During that time Thiago and the rest of the great coaches there helped me transform from someone who is completely out of shape to being able to train in the fighters’ class and also compete. I’ve made some great friends who I still connect with till this day all because of the family and friendly environment the gym has.Although I left for military training and service, I’ve always considered Sitan to be my family and home and still is to this day that’s why I decided to come back and join again because it’s the best home anyone can ask for. Home for everyone regardless of their background, level of fitness, or their a goal.If you’re nervous or intimidated to join, it’s OK, but I promise you that after the first visit you, will find so many reasons to join and none not to.

There is no other place like it. It is a place of friendship and encouragement. Great for all ages. A place to get healthy and strong, mentally and physically. My family and I have been part of the Sitan family for more than a decade and will continue to be for the rest of our lives.

Sitan is a fantastic gym that primarily focuses on learning and preserving the martial art of Muay Thai but it’s so much more than that.. besides producing high level fighters Thiago and his staff work hard to create a family environment. Sitan is inclusive of all types of students and skill levels. He and his staff also strive to create safe learning environments for students with special needs. Love this place!

This place is more than a gym. It’s a family. There are kids classes, special needs classes, beginners, advanced, and fighter classes. It doesn’t matter how old or what level of training you have. If you just want an amazing cardio workout, want to work on self defense, or want to become one of the many international fighters coming out of the world renowned Sitan Gym, this is the spot for you.

One gets the vibe the trainers care about the growth and skill development of each member of the organization. While the pricing is higher when compared to other similar businesses, you do get what you pay for. I am looking forward to future fighting development with this organization

Yves started at Sitan Gym when he was 5-year -old. He went there everyday (Monday to Friday) with no fail. He fell in love with the place and his gym mates. He idolized Ty Lai and wanted to be like him. He loved, Thiago, Desiree, Rachele and the rest of the coaches. He wanted to compete at the very early age but there was no opponent in his age bracket. So he fought his debut at 7 years old at Siam Fight Production and the rest is history. He represented the Muay Thai Team USA in the international Competition for 3 years in a row (2017 (Thailand), 2018 (Thailand) 2019 (Turkey) and once became World Champion in his bracket defeating Russia for the Gold.. Now Yves is 13.Sitan Gym is a World Class Gym with world class athletes. Proud to be part of Sitan family!

Review №26

Today was my first day, I also signed up my son for classes. I’m so out of shape jump ropes killed me! But I still had fun the staff and people working out where so positive and helpful. Jonesy the instructor reassured me it’s okay to catch my breath, over time, and keep coming I can get my cardio up. Absolutely love the atmosphere, the ethics, no one judges or makes fun of you, and so supportive in watching everyone grow. My son had a blast Travis and Gabe kept it fun while learning a new skill. Definitely worth going too and doesn’t feel like waste of money! I found a gym I can go to without being scared or anxious.

I started coming to Sitan gym around a year and half ago. When i walked through those doors i was 240 pounds and had no idea what i was doing. Now I’m 165 and with the leadership and help from everyone at Sitan gym i am becoming a better person everyday. If you want to come to place where you can fit in and have a second home, then look no further than Sitan gym.

This is absolutely the best MUAY THAI gym in the valley! Hands down the closest Ive found to authentic Thai-style training! The focus on technique and understanding how and when to use the techniques are explained very well. The curriculum is awesome for the kids as well as the adults. The instructors are the most genuine and knowledgable people there is. All of them have real fight experience so they can speak from real life scenarios and situations. I would stop by and give it a shot. PS thank me later :)

Love this gym! The environment is so welcoming. Whether you want to get in shape or compete, this is the best Muay Thai gym to train at in AZ. The coaches at Sitan Gym are very experienced, high level, and will push and help everyone at all levels. They give everyone equal attention. Even the people that train there will help you. I like that I can train at the same time my kids are training! Best place to get your whole family involved and in shape! This place has been open here in AZ for over 10 years. You got to check it out!

Thiago is one of the best coaches. Not only does he care about you becoming a better athlete/fighter/student he also cares about you as a person. I have done all my fight camps with Thiago and have been undefeated during my fighting career. If you want to be healthier and mentally stronger sitan gym is the place to go!

I started a year ago at 36 and I have never been to a more welcoming place. At first I just wanted an engaging workout. Now, Im finding myself sparring in the intermediate class. No one ever made me feel embarrassed or pressured when I was learning to throw a proper punch or kick no matter how many times I got it wrong. Even the most advanced fighters work with you at your level to make sure youre comfortable and getting it right. I love Sitan

Review №37

Super nice place with super nice, non judgmental, welcoming people and instructors, which is helpful when youre starting out heavy set like me. I signed up to six weeks with my husband and kids and we are having such a wonderful time learning a lot, and are planning on staying so long as finances allow. This place will for sure work you out better than any other gym will, and youll enjoy it too. The instructors are highly experienced and know what they are doing, they take the time to show you how to do everything properly, and give clear instructions. I actually look forward to classes as they make it easy to want to come back. I encourage anyone and everyone I talk to try a free session and sign up afterwards because I know theyll love it just as much as we do. Thank you Sitan Gym for providing excellent quality service and training, as well as a kind welcoming environment!!

This gym is by FAR the best gym I have ever ever trained in! Unfortunately, due to moving far away I was forced to join other gyms but my base was build by Sitan gym which Im very grateful! I stop training at Sitan gym around 2010. I recently moved back to Chandler n I cant cant wait to go back!! This gym feels like home🇦🇫 to me n they r very welcoming their old or new students. Also, from my past experiences Thiago is by far the best instructor I know in Arizona! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GYM for anyone who wants to learn thai boxing or simply want to get in shape!

Review №47

This place is awesome. The trainers are skilled and very detail oriented. They will push you to the limit every time you go. This place is not for the feint of heart, so be prepared and excited to learn and work, and you will have a great time. If you want to disappear into a crowd of people learning kickboxing while punching the air and standing in place, go do Tae Bo.Their schedule is great, with classes all day everyday. I work a typical 9-5 and could make it to class every day if I wanted. Theyve got gear for beginners to use and will sell you your own set of gear at a reasonable price if you would like it.The trainers are great, and the general atmosphere in the gym is always positive. Other students will offer help while you are learning, so listen and learn. If youre coming in with some skill this is still a great place for you to learn and grow.Ive had a great time here and would recommend this sport, and particularly this gym to anyone interested in learning.

I first walked in to Sitan about 2 and a half years ago and I immediately fell in love with the place. I had been in martial arts since I was a kid moving around from place to place but I was looking for a place that would help me get to the next level in my training and I found it at Sitan and Ive been there ever since. The great thing about Sitan is that its truly like a family there the people and instructors are just amazing they will really help you achieve whatever goal it is that you have set whether youre coming in to get in better shape or if youre looking to fight and compete, this is the place to do it.

Been training at Sitan Gym for over 15 years, owner and main coach Thiago Azeredo is super friendly and quickly becomes a trusted friend, only gym in Arizona with a champion and active pro-thai fighter coach in Travis Clay. If I could give this gym 6 stars I would. Come check out this gym today! Great gym culture, no egos, all levels welcome!

Review №53

Joined Sitan in 2016 and have never applauded my decision more in my life. As a beginner it is sometimes hard to find a gym that is willing to take you seriously and invest time and energy into your learning. Working with Travis my first day, the difference from this place and other martial arts gyms was obvious. Thiago, the owner, is an amazing person and I have learned so much from him not only about Muay Thai but about giving back. He started a special needs program a couple years ago and gave me the honor of helping out with that class in 2018. I highly recommend calling and scheduling a free class today!

My son trained here for years since he was 7yrs old, he is now 14 yrs old. He took a small break from training but my son just recently asked if he can go back and train again of course back at this gym where we thought at one point was the best place to train and be. The owner Thiago became urdurly rude which affected my son from continuing to train here because of personal issues he brought to his gym. Point is I now have to explain to my son that he is not welcomed or allowed back to Sitan gym.

It is a great gym - a little hot and humid, but what do you expect when you are working out giving 100% in the Arizona summer heat.Ive been training in various martial arts for 13+ years, but this may have been one of the most demanding gyms Ive been to, and thats a good thing. I know that if I keep training, I will be a lean, mean fighting machine, no doubt about it.

Review №67

Sitan Gym is the only place I have been able to work out without feeling intimidated and inferior. I grew up hating gym class all through middle/high school, always hiding in the bathroom because everyone was more athletic, and coaches made me feel like I would never be as good as everyone else. Now in college, I still refuse to go to the gym with other people or play group sports because the comparison within that setting can make me feel very anxious and embarrassed. At Sitan, however, it doesn’t matter who is better than who. Everyone starts somewhere, and everyone struggles with their own aspects of Muay Thai, be it form, speed, flexibility, etc. This creates a humble atmosphere in which everyone is focused on their own progress, while the trainers cheer you on to do your best. I don’t encounter the same sense of competitiveness that I have experienced in other gyms. Kaitlin, Rick, and Thiago believe that you are capable of excelling, no matter when you started or what your strengths are. They push you in a way that makes you feel like you can take on the challenges, as you improve at your own speed, and not in a way that send you home feeling defeated. While taking on a new activity such as this will always be scary, the trainers at Sitan make it possible to learn in an encouraging and reassuring setting.

Review №80

If you are looking for a place to learn real Muay thai from a real Muay Thai trainer then look no further Sitan Gym AZ. There are many fitness and martial arts places around but none of them measure up to Sitan in terms of its challenging workouts and its friendly low-stress environment. I have known the owner, Thiago, for nearly 20 years. He is hard-working and he shows passion and dedication in everything he does. He was trained by arguably the best Muay Thai trainer in the USA, but he never walks around like he is mister know-it-all; instead, he uses his knowledge, expertise, and talents to SERVE his students- he always puts their needs above his own. If you are still on the fence about joining Sitan over another fitness center, especially after reading all of these great reviews, then you are simply crazy. Thiago is not a psychologist so he cant help you there, but he will surely get you in shape in the least amount of time. Dont waste anymore of your time looking elsewhere, join Sitan Gym!

Review №81

I dont know if this place needs another 5 star review, but it definitely deserves it! I dont want to regurgitate what everyone else is saying. Its all true to the tee. I came for my first free days last Monday and had to sign up the same day. I immediately fell in love with the intensity and the quality of this gym. Trainers are very enthusiastic and detailed in their explanations. After the initial warmup, me and another newcomer, both completely new to the art, had our own session with a trainer to show us the ropes. I think it was Travis. Did a great job. Im sure a lot of people get bored teaching the basics over and over to newcomers. He was patient, spent most of the class teaching us (excluding the group warmups, stretches, and burnout at the end of the class). Above all was very enthusiastic about teaching. The warm up is grueling. My friend said as a joke, warm up or die trying. They WILL push you to your limit, and that limit will grow! The harder you work the faster you will improve! So far ive left every session completely satisfied and feeling accomplished for making it thru and giving my all. Lots of work, lots of fun. I love it.
