It is very addictive indeed. I had no martial arts background but the way coaches interacted with me and guided me was just amazing. They ensure that your technique is top notch, i love to challenge myself every session. Thank you to all the amazing coaches and Shout out to entire staff for doing such an amazing job. Highly recommended.

I started coming to this club at the start of 2021 and it has been a journey. The positive energy and enthusiasm that everyone in the gym has is incredible. They not only encourage positive fitness goals but also encourage healthy emotional and mental well being. It's refreshing to be surrounded by such up lifting atmosphere. Truely happy that I took a chance with something new that aided me in my growth and journey in fitness as well as other aspects of my life. Grateful for Ben for constantly enforcing positive attitude, habits and mind set! If you are thinking of trying something new that not only challenges you physically but also mentally then totally recommend :)

I've trained at a few Muay Thai Gyms in Adelaide but Southsides environment can't be matched. Its friendly, welcoming, supportive and inclusive. All of the staff and trainers are absolutely lovely. There are zero egos at this gym. Perfect for females, great for kids .... would give more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you to the amazing management who have worked hard to create such an amazing place to train 😊

I started one year ago at 27 with zero experience, and honestly, it's one of the best things I've ever done for myself physically and mentally. Whatever your goals or ambitions are, whether its weight loss, gaining some confidence or competing, this is the place. The culture is inclusive, ego-free and has a real sense of community. The coaches and trainers here are friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced, and the training programs on offer cater to all skill levels, from beginner to world-class. Hope to see you on the mats!

I very rarely review places however I feel this one is long overdue. After more than a decade of doing very little in terms of exercise and fitness, combined with a job that requires long hours of sitting, I knew it was time to get off my backside so-to-speak and give something a go. I had developed a keen interest in muay thai from watching numerous videos in the couple of years leading up to actually trying it myself and so the next step was to ignore the nerves and find a place that I felt comfortable and enjoyed training at. Despite not being the closest gym to me, I decided to give Southside Muay Thai a go from reading positive reviews and gee, am I glad that I did. I had never been a gym member of any sort before, so like many say, it was a little daunting walking into the gym for my first time at my trial lesson. I had no idea what to expect. I’m not sure what I was worried about though! The coaches politely introduced themselves and current students who had clearly been training there for some time helped me out with all the basics and made me feel very welcome. Fast forward and I’m now in my 5th year of training here and that friendly, welcoming, no ego culture is what Southside is all about. The trainers are great, and whether you’ve got absolutely zero experience with Muay Thai or many years, the classes are such that you’ll be catered for. The gym has multiple classes a day for 6 days a week, so for shift workers like myself it’s still easy enough to get to my 2-3 classes a week that I like to do. I have also had a great time training alongside my kids who have attended their kids classes at the same time I can train, which is very handy. My 8 year old loves his classes and his trainer. The staff at Southside have also been incredibly accommodating to me during the last couple of years with the impact of the coronavirus which I am very grateful for. Lastly, I think Southside truly caters to everyone, regardless of age, gender, fitness level etc. Many may think that joining a muay thai gym means that you have to fight or spar. I would say a large number of the members at Southside however are there for primarily the fitness side of things. Muay thai training has to be one of the best cardio workouts out there in my opinion! Conversely, if you are looking at a bit of contact and sparring etc, Southside has some of the best boxers and muay thai athletes to learn from, you just have to look at their results when they compete to see that. If you had have told me 5 years ago that I would be training at a muay thai gym and even had a crack at entering one of their friendly in house sparring days, I wouldn’t have believed you but the gym has made all of that possible for me. Give it a go!

For a business with one of the main principles being respect, they have absolutely no respect for their customers or Australian Consumer Laws. Asked for a refund and cancelled any subsequent billing for a 28 Day program via email because South Australia went into lockdown for a week due to COVID-19. Contract was specific date to specific date and they broke it. Haven’t heard back from them at all. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THEM.

Just joined yesterday. The atmosphere, people and instructors were super welcoming. Can't wait for the next session already!

I joined SSMT in April 2022 and it has changed my life. I joined to get fit, for my mental health and to connect with the like minded people/the community, and it hasnt disappointed. I find all the staff at SSMT to be friendly, supportive and welcoming whilst at the same time professional. I will tell anyone who will listen to come do muay thai at SSMT!

I live close by so I decided to have a trial today and meet some friends which are currently training. To my surprise, the front staff was really rude by saying and I quote " I am not going to offer you the trial session if I know you are not going to be fully committed to our club". I didnt know I was signing in for a cult. As a business representative, you should be quite aware that a trial session is dedicated to explore and introduce what your business is about to prospect members. Therefore, it is up to the client to decide whether or not to come back based on the service provided. This club wants you to be blindly committed even before a trial. Keep it mind. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL

Fantastic gym with great staff, they are so friendly and will work according to your times and needs, really motivating and fun. I had a great time being a part of this gym you train together like family and everyone is just so nice!!!

I have been training at Southside for about 8 months now (with some previous training experience) and have been impressed with the high standards of the coaching staff and the fighters in the gym. The coaches at Southside are passionate about Muay Thai and will accommodate your needs, whether you are an aspiring fighter or someone who wants to get fit and learn something new. I highly recommend Southside Muay Thai.

An incredible, community-driven Muay Thai gym. As someone who has predominantly trained Muay Thai in Thailand over the last decade - it’s one of the few local gyms I really love being at.

SSMT's instructor for kid's classes, Lucy, is *fantastic* — all the stars for her personally. She's knowledgable, builds fantastic rapport, and gets great results. She was also taking women's classes but wasn't well promoted or resourced by the gym. If she moved I'd 100% follow her. Management culture however is terrible — no business is entitled to your custom or your money, and you shouldn't have to prove you deserve to be there. The COVID pandemic has also been very revealing about how seriously businesses providing services to children take their duty of care when push comes to shove — while conditions are unsafe for unvaccinated children, are they temporarily closing; are they offering membership holds; or are they sticking absolutely to the letter of their pre-pandemic T&C? If, as a business, you use threat of financial losses to sway the decision making of parents around returning unvaccinated children to a poorly ventilated space with unmasked adults during a case wave of a highly infectious COVID variant then that does speak to your approach to duty of care — especially when other activity providers are being more cautious and flexible. SSMT refuse to extend membership holds until children are vaccinated, and will not refund memberships that are cancelled as a result. All I can say is I know who I’ll be trusting with my child (and my money) now and in future years.

Absolute best team of people trainers second to none. Lots of respect to them. So much discipline and scills to be learned so much love for what they do and make and can help change love it.

Teachers are great and so patient with my son. As a result,his self confidence has lifted which as a father I couldn't be more happier.

Great place friendly environment felt very welcomed as a new member

Love coming here to train, it's basically therapy 🙏 Florins classes are 👌

Southside is a place with an amazing community and super friendly staff. In the 8 months I've been at southside I have made multiple new friends and really fallen in love with Muay thai. The intense training and super helpful trainers have also helped me to lose nearly 30kgs in a short period of time and totally changed my work ethic and outlook towards fitness!

Great community.Great adults and kids classes. Nothing but praise for this place!

I’m a new member (2months), from my first session it was clear what a fantastic club SSMT is, very friendly staff and members, has a real family vibe while you’re there, ego’s are left at the door type of vibe. Classes are suited to your level with plenty of time slots to choose from. Very happy to be there. Thanks so much coaches!!

Doing Muay Thai at SSMT has been always an amazing experience for me. Confidence building. Making friends and overall physical and mental well-being! Great gym atmosphere too! Lovely and friendly staff and members. SSMT always is 5 stars rating for me 🥰 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you want an easy going, ego-less family orientated gym to learn skills that build your confidence, mental health and overall health, this is the place!! Since starting in September 2022 I have been hooked, all the trainers are extremely friendly and very very skilled in what they do. I have never experienced such a gym that cares so much about your progression and ability. SSMT have an amazing range of classes and times that can suit pretty much any schedule so accessing these classes is very easy. I couldn’t imagine myself training anywhere else and can’t wait untill my son is old enough to get him started! Thanks again guys, doing a great job!!!

I can't imagine a better place to get fit, learn a new sport and meet new friends! I have been training at Southside for almost 3 years now and have loved every minute of it! The trainers are warm, inviting and extremely encouraging - whether you are a seasoned fighter, an aspiring athlete or have a 9 year old looking to grow in confidence, Southside is the place to train! Classes 6 days a week at various times of day have also allowed me to fit training in with a demanding work schedule and really improve my life! Absolutely recommend 10/10 !

Southside is a fantastic gym for all levels. If your just looking for a fun way to gain fitness or more serious about Muay Thai then ssmt is the place!

SSMT, WOW 🤩. What an incredible Muay Thai gym.
