We have been attending Sitan Gym events for the past 3 1/2 years and have enjoyed the Muay Thai community lead by Thiago and his team. It is rare to find a group of people that are dedicated to uplifting each other, people who sincerely care about their peers, and people who unconditionally go out of their way to support one another like we have experienced at Sitan Gym. The coaches each offer unique skills to enhance the training and improve participant's ability and competence. The Sitan Gym atmosphere is family friendly (especially the gym dog Holly) and is comfortable to train at regardless of age or experience. The gym prioritizes community which is apparent by the holiday celebrations and acknowledgments. Our sincere gratitude to all of the Sitan Gym staff and volunteers for contributing to make a great community for Muay Thai training at Sitan Gym. read more

To the 2 single star reviews stating that people were rude to them, it had to have been post-COVID frustrations or something as it's definitely a one off thing and something I and many others have never experienced at Sitan. I trained privately with Travis for a matter of some months multiple times a week and everyone there was always friendly and nice and I'm a pretty quiet no-small talk kinda guy. I also interacted with Thiago a handful of times and he was always open and engaging every single time. This is without a doubt, the PREMIER location in Arizona if you want to learn the art of eight limbs whether it's through private or public instruction. The only reason I stopped going was due to some health complications I got that prohibited me from continuing training because I loved every damn minute of it. read more

Came in for my first class. Omar was super welcoming and taught a really good class. Love the feeling of the gym a lot. Will definitely be coming back read more

My family and I just recently moved to AZ from CA and finding a Muay Thai gym stressed me out a little because I wasn't finding any in the immediate area we were moving to. Many people in a FB group I asked recommended this gym so it was the first one I tried out and I didn't even have to try another after working here one time. The culture is amazing but the training quality is top tier. The great thing about this place is that if you want to fight competitively, it's an amazing environment and team for that, but you don't have to fight competitively. In fact there are a LOT of people that just want to learn basic skills and self defense and Thiago the owner knows how to make it a perfect place for you regardless of your goals. read more

Sitan Gym Muay Thai - Me and my son training together - Muay Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I've been practicing Muay Thai for a little while now, and one thing that I love just as much as the physicality of the sport is the Muay Thai community. Sitan Gym Arizona, lead by owner/instructor, Thiago Azeredo, gave this traveling Nak Muay a home to train in while I was in town. Coach Thiago, Coach Russell, and the rest of the trainers are great at providing intense workouts while sharing their expertise with all students through tough, challenging workouts (and believe me, there is NO shortage of experienced fighters there...just check the hardware in the display case when you walk in the door). I kid you not, I couldn't use my arms for a couple of days because of the work we did. But boy was it a good hurt. These trainers definitely know that they're doing. That being said, I really liked the vibe of the gym as well. Even though I was only there for a short while, I could easily feel the "gym family" relationship shared between everyone there. For example, Shawna, who helped me get situated before stepping onto the mat, was super welcoming and treated me, a guy pretty much off the street l, like I was an old friend of the family. This place checked off all of the boxes for what makes a great gym - intense, challenging workouts, experienced trainers that put you in a position to do your best and push you to give max effort each session, and a positive environment that keeps you coming back for more. This traveling Nak Muay will be heading straight to Sitan Gym Arizona when I find myself lucky to be in the area. Thank you to Coach Thiago and everyone else for being such gracious hosts! read more

They don't care about individuals at all. They take ur $200 and throw u in the rotation and tell u to fuck off. Don't waste your money here instead ask around and find a gym where u can get some good training and not a cheap ass cash grab. read more

My kids and I have been coming to Sitan for almost a year now and we've made this place a second home. If you have specific goals the coaches here will help you, BUT YOU HAVE TO SPEAK UP AND ASK FOR HELP. Every coach here has helped me individually and same goes for my kids. You can't expect the coaches to chase you around and beg you to train or to learn. My family and I felt like family the moment we walked in. It's worth every Penny! read more

I've never worked so hard in my life. . .Even when I thought I couldn't keep up, the instructors and other students at Sitan will push you and encourage you because they want you to succeed at your fitness goal! But, at the end of the day, it's all up to you. You have to experience Sitan for yourself. If you are tough enough and want to sweat, bruise, and see why so many people are in love with Sitan and the art of Muay Thai, come and try out one free class!!! My personal experience: When I started Sitan, I went in for the workout and to loose weight, and have something to do after work, but when I saw the opportunity to grow with the sport, then that's when I decided to take it to the next level! I can proudly say that I am a fighter read more

Thiago is one of the best coaches. Not only does he care about making you a great athlete/fighter/student he cares about you as a person. I've done all my fight training with sitan gym and stayed undefeated during my fighting career. Sitan gym is the best gym and part of my family. read more

I found this gym here through YELP. I went in for a free class and immediately felt at home. There was a 6 week special and after that I signed up for a 1 year membership. This has got to be one of the most amazing experiences in my life. Im addicted. Things you should know: *This place is VERY clean *Very good equipment *You will sweat and soak through your clothes *You will be sore *You will bruise *You might puke *You will love it! This is not for folks looking to do an aerobics kind of class, this is Muay Thai, traditional Thai boxing. The instructors will make you work! The kids classes are amazing, these guys teach discipline and are so kind with little ones that its worth watching the kids classes. Its the cutest thing EVER! I'm definitely going to try and get my niece and nephew signed up this summer! read more

Great gym. VERY HONEST Great teachers very friendly And great kids program Lose weight get in shape and kick some butt read more

No matter if you want to learn Thai boxing at a competitive level or just want to get in shape the folks at Sitan can get you there if you are willing. It's not a gym for the social gym rats, although the atmosphere is very open and friendly before and after classes. The workouts are designed to guide you into the best shape of your life but they are not for the person looking to loaf their way into shape. The gym is also clean and well maintained. If you want the workout of your life give it a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Sitan is the real deal. The instructors are experienced and knowledgeable, and the environment is great. I highly recommend private sessions with Varun in addition to the normal classes. Whether you're just looking for a good workout, or to seriously train and compete in Muay Thai, you'll find where you fit in here. If you want to learn the real thing, the right way, this is the gym. read more

People were rude here. Nobody focused on you or what you were suppose to do. Staff was unkind and will not be returning.

This place is the best place to learn kick boxing the instructors are great and everyone is super welcoming if you are skeptical about trying it out put your skepticism to rest because this place is awesome and the price for the amount of classes you get is amazing read more

Fantastic place. Great teachers, great members. Can't praise it enough. Great with kids too!

I have been involved in martial arts a long time, and currently am an instructor in my own right. My quote to the owner of Sitan Gym after my first class was "I've been walking around thinking I'm pretty good for years... then i came here." Their fitness preparation and conditioning blew away anything I had done previously. Their instruction is top notch and they are verifiably legit as their fighters compete often, and often win. I am very proud to be able to say I trained there for a short time. If you want to learn straight-up Muay Thai in Arizona, this is the place to go. read more

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. read more

A few years ago I found my Mr.Miyagi of stand up!! His name is Thiago and he's the owner/instructor. The only benefit to having to move everywhere from glendale to mesa in the last 10 years or so is that i was fortunate to experience a plethora of dojos and martial arts instruction (dojo fly). It was fun and reality based at the same time. I never represented his fight team yet was honored to sweat and bleed at Sitan. I can't think of any other gyms that are balanced with this level of instruction, a constructively competitive spirit, and a family atmosphere!! read more

I have checked out other Muay Thai schools in Arizona. There is not a better instructor, workout or school than Sitan. It's that simple.

Great muay thai!!! work outs will kill you!!! instructors seem very knowledgable. good, well maintained equipment. very clean.

Muay Thai training second to none, nation wide!! No better place to call a second home.

This is such an awesome gym! The whole family loves coming here. It's totally convenient to have the kids classes at the same time as the adults, so the whole family can go and you don't have to worry about daycare, etc. The gym is super clean and well maintained. The instructors are all wonderful and very patient with beginners. It's obvious that everyone there loves what they do. They are all very knowledgeable and ready to help. I've never worked so hard in my life, and I never thought I'd fall in love with Muay Thai, but I'm totally hooked! If you've been waiting to try something like this, stop waiting and get to Sitan Gym! You definitely won't regret it! read more

This is the best facility if you want to learn discipline. All gyms of this nature are expensive. If you want the best Sitan is it. Thiago is the best coach available. read more

Friendly owner staff and overall business. My children have learned alot from them i am thinking about starting adult classes soon

Best gym around! Has everything that you are looking for hands down. I have found a home away from home, a reason to get off the couct and friends that will last a lifetime. You can't go wrong with Sitan! read more

Whether you are new to the sport of Muay Thai, or just want to learn, Sitan is the place to be. Thiago is one of the nicest and most patient people you will ever meet. He makes certain that if you are in his gym, you leave each class learning something new. He doesn't rush and make you feel lesser if you don't get it right out. He keeps working with you until you do. Everyone of the other coaches are the same way. They all genuinely care for you, regardless of whether you are planning to fight or doing this to get in shape. Try it out sometime.. I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

Great place to learn Muay Thai and get in shape. The trainers are very knowledgable and patient with beginners. The facility is clean and they have all the equipment you need to get started. I recommend this place to anyone that wants a great workout and to learn the art. read more

I'm basically in love with this workout. I'm a working professional and super busy, but I still go 5 times a week because I WANT to go. I hate missing it! Travis teaches in a way that makes it really empowering and fun to learn, instead of intimidating or overwhelming. read more

I wanted to join this gym, but after looking at their schedule I showed up on a week day and no one was there. I went back on a Saturday and they were having some testing or something and cancelled all classes. Finally after calling I was told that the 11am class was not offered any more and they offer a 6pm and 730pm class, even though their website schedule says they offer other classes as well. Also saw they were not having classes for 3 Saturdays in one month. When I finally went at night for a tryout class, the instructor seemed to be very good, but he was only focused on fighters that were training for show fights. I was paired up with another student that seemed like he was not interested in training a new person on the basics of holding pads and how to do the drills (I probably would feel the same way if I was there to get a workout in). Also we had to use a old bag with lots of tape all over it because people were putting their stuff down by the few good bags even before the class started. That's just my experience, I was interested because of the day class but after hearing that would cost per session which adds up to a lot, and that Saturdays is not always an option, I'm not interested. I'm currently looking at other gyms that have more flexible hours and not a pay per session model. read more
