If you want to train Muay Thai in Manchester, you have plenty of gyms to choose from.

But finding the right gym for your personal situation and experience level can be tricky.

So, I’ve put together a list of the best gyms to train Muay Thai in Manchester and written a brief review of each one.

As well as discussing  the gym facilities and coaches, I’ve also given a run down of the following factors that I look at when choosing a gym

 

  • Location – Where is it?
  • Transport links – How easy is it to get there?
  • Prices – Is it good value for money? And do they offer a free trial class?
