Fantastic experience: Best PT experience ever. Victor really takes his time out to meet your needs especially with a difficult work schedule, he encourages you when you think you can’t do something. At the same time he is really gentle and knows what’s right and able to push boundaries. 10/10

Jaesung Lee Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best Muay Thai Kickboxing gym. The coach is passionate about creating a community and making you feel welcomed. His biggest joy is watching you improve and enjoy, and he will go extra mile sometimes to help you. (Thanks for loosening up my super tight calves). Only downside is that there are no classes on Sundays and Mondays. Otherwise, I'd be there 7 days a week, instead of 5 .

John F Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere here is generally very welcoming and student-friendly. There are no maximum amount of classes-type restrictions and the prices aren't exorbitant which is an important distinction from other Muay Thai gyms in the city area. The gym is active on social media so you can communicate with them online for updates. I highly recommend this gym to those who are looking for an affordable place to get some solid cardio, meet new friends and if you want to take it further there is always the opportunity to fight under Hawk's Nest.

Fantastic experience: I've tried a few Muay Thai gyms in Auckland, and Hawks' Nest Gym is the best by far. Whether you're a beginner (and I mean have never wrapped your hands) or you're a Thai kickboxing vet who spares weekly, it's the best place to train hard, meet likeminded individuals and have a great time. They're even doing outside classes over lockdown. Highly recommend!!!

Jaffar Bui Al-Shammery Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been coming here for just over three months. Considered another boxing gym nearby but ended choosing the smaller one and no regrets since. Lots of contact time with the coach and personalized feedback. You can quite easily start practicing with higher level fighters and the community is quite helpful. Defs recommend.

Hannah-marie Sweetman Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: A fantastic muay thai gym suited for all skill levels in Auckland :). Good prices and cheap for the classes offered. Victor is also very encouraging trainer!!!!!

Thomas Zhang Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Real nice muay thai gym. Been to a few other muay thai gyms, and Hawks' Nest feels the most chill. Victor's a real chill and friendly coach. The gym itself has all the necessary equipment and feels pretty clean. Probably the best gym in Auckland if you're new to the sport and want to start learning without the full on pressure of other gyms.

Fantastic experience: Was a beginner to Muay Thai and wanted to pick it up for self defence. Started out with free/discounted trials in kickboxing gyms in the CBD and found Hawk’s Nest to be the most value for money and community-oriented. Pros - The vibe is much more welcoming to females. The more advanced gym members are also willing to teach you without judgment. - The trainer is great at teaching proper technique and pushing you beyond your limits. - You get valuable feedback on how to improve after class Some cons - There aren’t showers only toilets - Space can be a bit small for bigger classes - The head trainer has a lame sense of humour
