Paula Ibieta

Sitan Gym AZ is the complete package - a uniquely diverse, welcoming community with world-class instruction from fighters who are not only Muay Thai experts but also master teachers. Whatever your goals - competition, fitness, a new learning experience - the staff at Sitan will take you as far as you allow them to.

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.

I travel all the way from north Phoenix to train at Sitan Gym. You know why? because of the quality Muay Thai training I get from Thiago and his Staff. Best place to learn Muay Thai from legitimate, passionate, world class, Muay Thai Champions

Went to visit my family and Arizona and stumbled upon this gym. Took a class and immediate felt like a part of the family. The instruction is amazing and all of the members welcome you with open arms. This place also produces champions so if that is what you are looking for then this place is for you.

Amazing people amazing technique

David Poetter

The best place to train! There kids program is phenomenal.

Stephen Getz

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. I've been training in various martial arts for 13+ years, but this may have been one of the most demanding gyms I've been to, and that's a good thing. I know that if I keep training, I will be a lean, mean fighting machine, no doubt about it.

Chris Jones

I discovered this gym almost a year ago and have been overwhelmed by the amazing staff and instructors here. They are the best at teaching traditional Muay Thai to all ages and ability levels. At Sitan your not just a gym member your part of a family that takes care of each other. If your looking to get in shape or want to learn Muay Thai then this place for you.

Max Rehbein

Great gym! Owner and staff are all very open and welcoming. All others training at the gym are great people to learn with.

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 can't help you there, but he will surely get you in shape in the least amount of time. Don't waste anymore of your time looking elsewhere, join Sitan Gym!

Super nice place with super nice, non judgmental, welcoming people and instructors, which is helpful when you're 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 you'll 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 they'll 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!!

My second home. Everyone is family whether you have been training for 10 years or 10 days. Wont ever leave!

Steven Anderson

This gym is hardcore! Every person I took there said it was the hardest workout they had ever done.

Powerful TSG

I have zero regrets. I came here a beginner and already feeling like a winner! They will let you try it one day free if you like. All the trainers are great. Decorated with trophies. Follow up review: still going, still challenged, great people, great gym.

Donna Williams

I recommend this place highly to anybody who is serious for fitness and who likes the camaraderie of friendly, great coaches who are capable to know the people individually at the gym. This gym is incomparable and I am glad I found it.

Wais Ahmadi

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 I'm 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

Ja Na

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!

Sunil Devaraj

All coaches are very helpful and have your best interests in mind, I have been training Here for a year and a half, never once displeased with them.

I don't know if this place needs another 5 star review, but it definitely deserves it! I don't want to regurgitate what everyone else is saying. It's 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. I'm 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 i've 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.

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 I've been there ever since. The great thing about Sitan is that it's 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 you're coming in to get in better shape or if you're looking to fight and compete, this is the place to do it.

Abigale Friedrich

This place is like walking into a family. Seriously the coolest people who genuinely care to help you succeed and reach your goals. Blood, sweat, and tears are real things that happen here. I’m so glad I was introduced to this place just over a year ago now! Do not pass them up if you’re looking for authentic Muay Thai training from the best gym in Arizona

Amy Smith

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.

Wow! Great with kids and adults alike! Hubby and 2 sons are one week in and we couldn’t be happier with our choice to join Sitan!

David Miqui

gym of champions ! Everyone gets treated like family.

Jessica Ng

One of the best muay thai gyms I've trained at. I took a few classes while in AZ. The owner and trainer, Thiago was very welcoming and focused a lot on the importance of foundation and technique. It was great to find a gym that teaches authentic muay thai plus speed and power. Thank you so much for positive experience! I will definitely be back next time I'm in AZ.

John Belcher

Very knowledgeable instructors, with a friendly atmosphere. If you are looking for a great workout and to learn the art of Muay Thai, this is the place to go.

robert espino

ya Thiago is a real cool guy. And the vibe there was just like a family atmosphere.Im gonna get my whole family involved when I can. His guys and girls I met that worked or members were all so passionate about it too. Robert was loving it.

Colby Pitts

I've been training at Sitan for several months and I can't say enough positive things about it. From the professional atmosphere to the high level of training I am beyond impressed. Thiago and his team will push you and help you to reach the level of fighter you want to become. I highly recommend Sitan Gym to anyone interested in training!

Emery Hutchings

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, I'm 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 you're comfortable and getting it right. I love Sitan

Millie Davila

My son has never been into sports or extracurricular activities but this place, he loves this place. He's even done better in school since starting muay thai. Highly recommend this place. He and my husband have been coming here for 2.5 years now. The staff and owner are genuinely caring people. The other gym member are like family.

Dogo Argentino

Great Gym, Amazing coaches. If you want to learn true Muay Thai, Sitan Gym is the only place in AZ.

Matt Warren

While at Sitan Gym you feel like anybody else there, no one gets favoritism there. You work hard, you get results. I appreciate the hard work the staff does to keep the place clean,and how knowledgeable they are meets none other. I would recommend anyone to go here!

Jacob Burke

The facility is nice with recently replaced bags and pads. Class structure makes sense with equal focus on striking technique/strategy and cardio/strength conditioning. I've never been to another martial arts gym but to me the pricing is very fair and you get your money's worth. No matter your skill level, the instructors and fellow students all do a great job in making you feel welcome. Plus, the owner has taken an active role in bringing muay thai competition to the southwest United States. He is the founder and president of Siam Fight Productions which is a Muay Thai event promotion company. And if all of that isn't enough for you, the myriad of championship belts above the mats will hopefully convince. The absolute only "negative" I can think of is that every student is treated equally but I want to keep the instructors all to myself haha.

Arshiyam Kanwar

Best place to learn Muay Thai in Arizona. Family friendly environment, you are not just a number here... You are family!

Stacie Gibson

My granddaughter has been training at Sitan Gym for nearly two years. She loves the training and her skills continue to progress. The coaches are phenomenal and they keep the kids engaged with a training program geared toward them that’s fun and progressive.

Brandon Cronan

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. They've 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 you're coming in with some skill this is still a great place for you to learn and grow. I've had a great time here and would recommend this sport, and particularly this gym to anyone interested in learning.

Kaitlin Wood

Awesome instructors and atmosphere. I came in with absolutely no martial arts background or experience at all and felt right at home. There was no intimidation, just amazing teachers and a great community.

Danise Rees

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!

Theresa Decker

About a year and a half ago a friend of mine was bringing his son to Sitan Gym Az. He told me about the "first class free" that they have. So I decided to bring my 6 year old son in to try it out. As soon as the class was over he was so excited and wanted to join the gym "forever!" (his words). We were already at the gym 4-5 nights a week so he could train. I figured I should know what he is going through too! So, I signed myself up about 6 months ago! We both are now a part of the Sitan Family "forever"!! You can go in there and already be a Muay Thai fighter and will still learn something new. Or you can be like me, out of shape single mother that knew nothing about Muay Thai! I have learned so much not only about the sport but about myself and just what I am capable of! At Sitan there are all walks of life! That is my favorite part! Sitan is not just gym friends or acquaintances, we are family! Come in and try it out! You will not regret your decision!

Rosendo Gutierrez

Great atmosphere, great for all levels of training. Great with kids as well.

Hager Nabih

This is one of the best gyms I have ever been too. I live in New York and visit Arizona twice a year And always make my stop at Sitan Gym. The Trainer Thiago is the best!!! Super friendly and nice. The atmosphere is very clean and everyone Is helpful and friendly. You will get an amazing workout guaranteed!!!

Gabe Guerrero

Sitan gym is one of the best gyms you'll ever find. It is a family environment where they teach real Muay Thai! I've been training and fighting with them for years they will truly help you develop whether you want to fight or not. Come try a class!

Ricardo Carrasco

I Love Sitan Gym!! It’s helped me accomplish dreams! My brothers and sisters there have my back and they know that I have theirs. You can learn to fight up to the highest level if you put your mind to it at Sitan, that’s what the trainers there have shown me.
