The Enigma way

You get better with training partners

We wanted a gym where people train together. Thai boxing can feel like a solitary sport, but you only get better with teammates who work with you and encourage you.

We do not care about experience. If you are willing to learn, you will fit in.

Whether you want to compete or just get fit and learn something new, you will be part of the club.

We really wanted to create a gym with a strong team ethic. Regardless of whether people want to compete or not, we want them to feel valued and seen and enjoy being at our club.

What a session is like

  • Technique

    Stance, footwork, punches, kicks, knees and elbows, broken down and drilled properly.

  • Pad work

    Coached rounds on pads and bags, with feedback while you work rather than after.

  • Conditioning

    Muay Thai fitness built into the session: movement, power, endurance and recovery.

  • People to train with

    There are several coaches on the floor and experienced training partners in the class.
