Best Muay Thai gyms Nottingham

New to Nottingham and looking to get fit? Maybe you’re finally going to try those martial arts classes you always said you would. Perhaps you just fancy putting yourself out there and trying something new. 

Whatever the reason, Muay Thai is an exciting, fun and incredibly powerful way of getting active, learning discipline and meeting people. Nottingham is also lucky to be home to some great training spots too. 

I’ve picked out the top 6 places in the city that you should seriously consider if you want to start training. When choosing a new Muay Thai gym, it’s essential to keep a few things in mind, so I’ll be covering the following areas for each entry:

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

Sabai Muay Thai | Bulwell


Getting information about these guys can be a bit tricky as they don’t have a website. Luckily I’ve done the heavy lifting for you, and while they lack a site, they more than make up for it in passion and dedication.

Operating via Facebook, they make good use of photos and regular updates to show you what they’re all about. Instructors Yeorgos and Dan run three sessions a week and stress that anyone and everyone is welcome. If you’re not sure if Muay Thai is for you, you can pop along to meet the guys themselves and even check out a class too. 

For those looking to take their first steps into Muay Thai, you won’t find a more welcoming group!

There’s no pressure to have any previous martial arts experience, and they pride themselves on their friendly, relaxed environment. This is as much as social experience as it is about getting fit and developing your skills. 

With taster sessions and freebies running at the beginning of every new year, it’s worth checking them out!
