Visiting from NYC for two weeks, and Spider let me train here for free. Really clean facility, interesting drills/techniques, and great community :) thank you Spider! read more

I spent about 3 years at Spider Muay Thai and they helped me go from having 0 knowledge about fighting (other than watching UFC) to winning my first few point kickboxing fights. I knew I'd learn a lot about fighting, but I was astounded by how welcoming the community is. A lot of the members will support you in one way or another. Whether it's by coming to watch you fight, give you advice on how to prepare mentally and physically, or even send an encouraging text the night before the big day. Coach Julio goes above and beyond for everyone. Doesn't matter if you're on a trial membership, an experienced fighter, or just in town for the day--coach Julio treats everyone kindly. Definitely also recommend picking his brain because he is one of the most passionate people I've ever met in my life. I don't throw around the word genius often, but Coach Franky is a Fight GENIUS. Coach Agu right away can make a new member feel like you guys have been friends for years. Coach Chris teaches epic combos that he actually executes in fights and sparring! In addition, Spider has tons of other knowledgeable coaches who know how to create a safe but intense environment for those who either want to step in the ring or just simply learn the art. I moved away from the area but no doubt about it that whenever I'm in town I'm hitting up a training session at the best Muay Thai gym in the county. read more

Spider Muay Thai - With coach Julio, one of the baddest men on the planet. - Muay Thai Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Exceptional Muay Thai gym! Frankie's expertise shines through in every class. The facility is always clean and well-maintained. Traditional Muay Thai techniques are taught with precision and passion. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Muay Thai training in a supportive environment. read more

Needed somewhere to train for the day and did a drop in class. Julio, one of the fighters, was super welcoming from the second I stepped in and helped me get situated. He even drilled with me and gave me tips to improve my technique. Head Coach Franky gave me some pointers which were greatly appreciated, he made me feel like part of the team even though I was just there for the day. Everyone I interacted with at Spider was incredibly welcoming and the environment was fantastic. I would absolutely recommend Spider Muay Thai! read more

My daughter and I have been training with coach Franky since 2019 as my daughter WAS shy and thought it would be a good way to build her confidence through something we both can participate. My daughter took the kids classes with coaches Carlos and Omar too, when schedule permitted. She also used to join the adult classes too, and everyone was very passionate of lifting each other up. What can I say other than they are all amazing coaches and human beings. My partner would sometimes join our training and we all agree coach Franky is the best and simply just a great person. He is very patient with us, always challenging us, and my daughter always looks forward to our training including our chitchat. Thank you coach! read more

Trainers are great and very patient which is huge in the learning process. It's a welcoming environment and a good overall culture/ethics.

Local Muay Thai GEM of a gym. Parking is never a problem. Pricing is decent. The coaches are there to work with you no matter what your goals are. Learn something new? Weight loss? Strength and conditioning? Jiu-Jitsu? Just plain old fun exercise to get your body working? THEY GOT YOU. They know that everyone goes to train for different reasons...to fight vs. being healthy vs. overcoming adversity in your life or whatever. Coach FRANKY and the team will help you reach your goals while maintaining a SAFE learning environment. He regulates that aspect seriously because his kids also train there. There's also a bunch of ladies who train there too, which made it less intimidating for me starting off. I've been training here for almost 2 years now. Great diverse crowd (with a pretty extensive network I would say). Challenging classes. All gathered here for the love of Muay Thai. read more

I really love this gym. I've been training Muay Thai for a long time with different instructors and I really think Frankie is a awesome guy and the training is on point. They have a lot of talent there, but they are also super kind to the novices. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. read more

Great Gym! Great Trainers! Super fun and Super challenging work-outs. Very spacious with lots of equipment. Clean and well maintained. Highly recommended A+ read more

I was referred to the women's evening class and have been going ever since... It is a great workout and never the same thing. I really like the WODs that push me and help me to try better myself. I would strongly recommend coming to check it all out! read more

I didn't know what to expect coming into this gym, given that I'd never done any martial arts before, but I immediately felt welcome! The coaches, long-time members, and even the fighters that train there have all been super patient and have gone out of their way to teach me. There are fitness classes available all day and martial arts classes in the evenings, so no matter what your schedule, there's always something that you can do here. You can really see how much everyone cares about this gym. The place is always clean, and there's ample equipment, heavy bags, and even a full-size ring that's available to everyone! This is by far, the best gym I've ever had the chance to be a part of. I really feel like I found a home here. read more

Great workout ! i love the fact that you dont have to show up with a full set of fake eyelashes, foundation, eyeliner and blush. (Which is the reason i left 24 hour fitness). NONE OF THAT HERE :) The women's fitness class is the best, new challenge every month and you get prizes so you push yourself harder. read more

Being brand new to Muay Thai, I had called several gyms in Orange County to find out which one best suits my goals for personal training. Having already a strong fitness background and fastidious personality, I was less than impressed with the prices and the trainers' experience of many of the Muay Thai gyms in OC. When I came across spider Muay Thai, I was given a complimentary try out session on my first day. I was of course pretty nervous as a newbie but Coach Franky was extremely patient and broke everything down thoroughly. The environment of this gym is incredibly encouraging, everyone is treated with respect and given a great deal of self esteem so it's definitely not a place where one should feel intimidated. Not only are the prices for personal/group training unbeatable, but also the range and diversity of Coach Franky's knowledge on Muay Thai. Give it a go to see what I'm talking about! read more

Whether you're looking to learn Muay Thai or just trying to get fit, these guys will help you. The atmosphere is positive and coaches are great at helping you reach your goals. Their location is spacious and clean. You can tell how much the owner cares about the customers by the way the gym is maintained. Definitely recommend this place. read more

One of The best Muay thai academies I've ever seen in OC. Traditional Muay thai is taught here, no egos, no bulling just pure technique and great sparring classes. Lots of pro mma and muay thai fighters train at this place. They also have a great BJJ class taught by US Open, Grappler quest champion. Very affordable, you pay month to month, no contracts, no hidden fees no nonsense! I like it a lot because coach Franky has created a family environment where everybody helps everybody. Kids, Teen, adults, girls... everyone is welcomed wether you have experience or not. You gotta love a place like this. read more

Awesome group of people , felt comfortable right away and got so much help throughout the training session . solid place to learn Muay Thai and can't wait to go back ! read more

Great gym for direct instruction from pros! I met the head instructor at a fight and kept this gym in mind when my grown daughter was looking for a gym. She joined up this summer and is in love with this gym. She enjoyed the Fit Camp but is already addicted to the Muay Thai classes. She trains along side pro fighters and regular people that like to do something badass in the evenings. Her teammate just had a fight last weekend. Great team environment. read more

This was an amazing gym. I was traveling on business and just decided to drop in. It's a family run gym. everybody there is super cool. It's very legit training from people who are actually doing the business. Fantastic technique and fantastic cardio. These guys are putting crazy good vibes out. do yourself and the universe a favor and stop in and give them a try. If I lived here i'd train here on the reg. read more

By far one of my favorite places to workout! I've been to most of the chains and even trained at the UFC gyms. Trainers at Spider hold you accountable and push you to your limit, but motivating at the same time. That's what keeps me coming back. read more

I'm really glad I found Spider Muay Thai as my home. Since I moved down to OC 4 years ago, I was on a mission to finding a legit Muay Thai school for me. Being a martial artist for a long time, I really wanted to compete, and so it's important for me to trust my trainer and his ability Coach Franky is a great person to have as a coach and mentor. He is the man responsible for making my dream of competing come true. He has a good attention for details to point out what bad habit / improvements I can make to my stand-ups. His pad holding skills are top notch too, I feel like he can bring out the best of me during pad work. And don't worry, you don't have to want to compete to join. if you're only looking to learn what Muay Thai is all about, or looking for a great workout, this will be a good place for you as well! read more

My new family!!! I grew up in martial arts and have been doing various types on and off for as long as I can remember.

Everyone is extremely nice and the instruction is high quality. Extremely clean facilities and equipment. Consider this place when looking for a gym! read more

Found a new passion! Had been interested in learning Muay Thai for years and finally got around to finding a gym to go to. Spider Muay Thai was one of my first choices because they have affordable prices and classes everyday (mon-sat). When I contacted them by text, head coach Franky texted me back promptly and invited me to try the class out for free. So cool! I was definitely nervous but everyone was so nice and kindly helped me when my technique was incorrect. It was so much fun learning something unfamiliar to me plus it was such a good workout! I was so stoked that I signed up immediately and went home unable to get Muay Thai out of my head!! Now 6 months later, I can say I'm definitely obsessed with this combat sport and cannot see myself not practicing it lol. Another thing id like to mention is, I've never been a big girl but when i first started here I was 140 lbs which kind of shows on me standing at 5'3. Taking the Muay Thai classes, s&c classes instructed by strength coach Juan, plus the Fit Camps (hiit circuit workouts) has done miracles on my body!!! I'm back down to 120 lbs I haven't been this weight since high school y'all! I feel so much better in my own skin, strong and confident. Plus I (kinda) know how to kick butt now lolll definitely recommend this Muay Thai gym to anyone who is interested in the sport! read more
