I have been training with TKMT (Uptown) for the past 8 months. I am a 5'9" 245lb man and I would not consider myself to be a "fit" individual at all, however I train once a week at Blast Athletic and I go to Muay Thai training 2-3 times a week. I find the Toronto Muay Thai and Kickboxing Acadamy to be a welcoming, non judgemental and friendly work out that is not like conventional Martial Arts gyms where they yell and scream at you. They give you an intense work out and they don't push you do to things that you're just not capable of. In fact, most of the instructors, for example Robert, is consitantly saying througout his workouts to "Do what you can", and "at your own pace" or "if you need a break, take a break and join back in". But, like in all group work out situations or even one on one's for that matter, they give you an intense work out to do, they push you to work to your limits and expect you to regulate yourself and do what you can.

This is an intence workout that will kick your butt if you're up to it. I have a friend who is an amature body builder, and he came to the first class with me 8 months ago. Obviously he is a regular "gym rat" but even he was blown away by the intensity of this work out. But after a few classes he was able to keep up and push himself to his limits without any injury. You have to remember that this is NOT a conventional gym, and these guys are not personal trainers. They are teaching you how to fight...so if you're not up for a hard work out, then I don't think you should come to Muay Thai training at this gym, or any other Muay Thai gym. The people are great, and the facilities are clean and friendly. I love working out here!! You will too.
