Team Universal Muay Thai

"I was 51, overweight and in poor health. I looked for a gym close by. Found UMT. Thought I would give it a try though I had never had any training. One of the best life decisions I have ever made. I am now 55, confident and athletic. I ended up with more than I ever expected. A stellar training team and a fantastic group of fellow students whom I now consider friends. Everything is here at UMT whether you just want to get in shape, learn fundamentals, or train to compete at the local, state, national or international levels. Discipline, health and feeling damn good about yourself are side effects of training at UMT! Thank you coach Dave and the rest of the team!"

"I trained here for 3 months while on a work assignment in Phoenix and had a 10/10 experience. Excellent coaching, respectful and humble training partners who became friends, and flexible class times for all levels. I can’t wait to come back when I’m in town again!"

"Team Universal is not just a great gym for all levels, but a great family! My spouse and I wanted to find a new hobby to do together and take our fitness levels to a new level. Not only were the coaches very welcoming to us joining, but the members were so nice! I received encouragement and motivation from team mates, which is really what makes this a great gym. When there are local fights in the valley, many of us go together, supporting the fighting community, but spending time together outside of the gym. I expected to go learn a new sport, and only 5 months into it, I've taken it more seriously than I ever anticipated and now am trying to get my weight down and train hard in hopes of fighting competitively soon! I will admit, the class is what you put into it, do not expect classes to be a breeze or easy, conditioning is tough. If you are accepting of a LA fitness kickboxing class and find that adequate for you, then this gym and workouts may come a surprise and difficult to accept or handle. However if you stick to it and really want to take your kickboxing to another level, stick with it for a while because it will get easier as you get more fit, but I promise you will feel great after class and not regret it! :)"

"I started Muay Thai about 2 months ago in Baltimore and wanted to keep up with it while I came home and visited my parents in the Phoenix area. As a beginner, I was a little nervous about visiting a new gym. However, everyone at Universal Muay Thai was so friendly and accommodating that I immediately felt at home. Coach Dave is so great and articulate so his instructions are thorough and easy to follow. Every class is an incredible, well rounded workout for any fitness level. On top of that, the gym itself is beautiful and clean. If I move back to Phoenix in the future, I will definitely become a member. I HIGHLY recommend checking out this gym if you’re in the area or even just visiting!"

"I would highly recommend Team Universal Muay Thai. Everyone in the gym makes you feel welcome and part of the team. Coach Brooks has patience and is able to work with anyone no matter the starting skill level. If you are looking for something to try to help you with mindset that carries over into work and everyday life or simply something that is an awesome workout and new found skill. You should definitely give it a shot. It's very reasonably priced and if you're feel your work schedule might get in the way he has tons of different days and times to solve that."
