Phoenix Muay Thai Boxing manchester

Gets the kids motivated, confident, meet new kids/friends and off the computers

I have heart disease. At 41 years old and I had heart surgery and started to feel a bit rubbish. I took up karate (and it's a good club so no disrespect there) but I really wanted to get back into Thai Boxing. I looked around and chatted to Rick Lewis early in 2018. We chose to do some private lessons and over time I became fit enough to join the regular class (the regular class is a really good workout) and then a couple of weeks ago, I had my first session sparring. 40 minutes of full on 3 minute rounds with just 1 minute breaks - I couldn't have done that before I had the surgery! I wish I could give a higher rating than 5 stars as Rick has literally saved my life.

Anyone who knows me will know that I eat unhealthy, that i'm unfit and have no motivation to do anything about it. I first came across Phoenix Muay Thai as I wanted my son to get involved but after observing his classes, this made me want to give it a try. Almost a year on, I'm still a regular attender trying to go at least 3 times a week and one thing that really sticks out for me is that I actually want to go an train rather that forcing myself to go. This will be down to how the classes are run and I can see and feel a real change in myself. 100% recommend!

I started training with Rick when I was about 12/13. I was a timid teenager who was made to feel welcome instantly. Looking back on my years with Phoenix I can say that they have had a positive impact both inside and outside the gym. Other reviews here have touched on the atmosphere at the gym and I can do no more to express how awesome it is in words. However, I'll leave you with this: If you're even slightly curious about Phoenix Muai Thai you owe it to yourself to try it once; then you'll be hooked.

My 7yr old son has been coming for almost a year now. Kru Rick and Charlie are excellent coaches for the kids in more than just kickboxing, the values of honesty, hard work and respect run through everything they do. Everyone who attends is made to feel welcome with the kids and adult students mixing in the gym between lessons. The new gym is also fantastic venue they should feel proud of.

absolutely brilliant place. kru Rick Lewis is amazing with my son all through out the time he has been coming he does private lessons with him aswell as class sessions and is so patient with him. my son loves him to bits as he has taught him loads and loads I recommend this club to anybody.

Best place we ever went with my 6 years old. Amazing atmosphere. Great people!!

The best of the best have been coming on and off for almost 8 years and wouldn’t recommend anywhere else. Kru Rick Lewis is the best around. The gyms atmosphere is amazing, everyone is friendly and welcoming. Would 100% recommend!
