Muay Thai Institute

Fantastic experience: My favorite boxing place in Wellington! The coaches and training partners are the best—supportive, skilled, and encouraging. The gym has a really peaceful and welcoming atmosphere, which makes training enjoyable. I love that it’s open 24/7 and offers multiple class times to suit any schedule. You’ll also find many advanced boxers here, which makes the training really inspiring.

Negative experience: Why you keep debiting my account? I have logged in and cancelled twice? I will charge it all back with my bank. You owe me $150. Don't sign direct debit authority with MTI!

Fantastic experience: Training here saved my life when I was assaulted by an armed mob. I was in shock but the muscle memory caused me to dodge the rod being swung at my head and I kept moving until my brain finally registered what was happening. The violence was completely out of the blue. It has been many years since I trained at MTI and several years since it happened. I still think about it often and wanted to at least try to put this into words. Nothing anybody tells you can prepare you for how sudden violence is, your body needs to learn how to react because your brain will freeze.

Fantastic experience: My only regret with MTI is having left to immigrate overseas - If I could take the gym with me best believe I would in heartbeat. MTI is a world class facility with world class coaching and a wonderful community of people to go along with it. Mark, the coaching team, the members, & the fighters have cultivated a beautiful culture amongst all gym members to feel welcomed & encouraged at whatever level of training you’re at. I could never thank all the people I was lucky enough to work with MTI for helping me grow through Muay Thai. Special thanks to all the coaching team especially Mark for all the time and effort he dedicates to not only MTI but everyone as individuals. Wellington is beyond lucky to have access to a place like MTI. Miss it already, all the best!

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend this gym highly enough ! A great bunch of people and awesome coaches with a wealth of knowledge and passion for the sport. This place is guaranteed to improve your fitness 10-fold as well as make you love Muay Thai ! Will miss this place and these awesome people.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at MTI for 4 months now as a brand newbie to Muay Thai and I have absolutely LOVED it. The facilities are amazing, the community is supportive and encouraging, but more than anything the trainers are incredible. Mark and his team are knowledgeable, approachable, and supportive of your goals, no matter what they are. They have classes for everyone, no matter how experienced or inexperienced you might be. I can't recommend MTI enough and I will miss it massively now that I'm moving cities. Thanks Mark & team!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Gym !! Everyone was really welcoming ,its a bonus that they have an amazing weights gym up stairs for all your strength and conditioning needs.

Fantastic experience: amazing gym and great coaches who have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to Muay Thai

Fantastic experience: So glad I joined this gym years ago. Mark and the team are friendly and have a wealth of knowledge. They are always supportive of the goals - whether you want to fight or improve your fitness. I highly recommend doing a session to see for yourself.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to MTI since the very beginning of this year. What can I say? It is a great gym. All of the trainers are very patient, who deliver comedic banter, but also hold a real desire to improve their students abilities. Fitness is something a consistent student will almost guarantee get, and the opportunity to make friends with likeminded individuals. 5 Stars from me.

Fantastic experience: The best muay thai gym in Wellington. Caters to all levels from beginners (and those just wanting exercise), right through to experienced competitors and fighters. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Been training for approximately 16 months at MTI - and I have built great rapport with the coaches and students, the instructors are an awesome bunch who invest time and effort into improving your skills.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, rather your in for a good laugh, hard workout or perfecting a technique. They cater for all. Very dedicated and approachable trainers. Very active on fighting sceene aswell

Fantastic experience: Amazing!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, coaches are very dedicated and the environment is friendly!

Fantastic experience: love this place, great team with awesome trainers I've made so many friends, this place is always the highlight of my week.

Fantastic experience: Using my training here I have been able to successfully defend myself from several unsuspecting bystanders. The key is to strike first and from behind 5 st⭐rs.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Changed my life and got me in the ring and helped me secure the victory!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the world.

Fantastic experience: Great gym - coaches are very professional; a super clean and safe environment, awesome and friendly vibe.

Fantastic experience: MTI is not only a Muay Thai Gym, it is much more. You will love the vibe of the people that goes to MTI. Mark, Johnny, and the rest of the staff are awesome and they always willing to help you and coach you to achieve your goals. Training there not only helps you to keep your body in good health, it also makes your mind strong and clear. A game changer. MTI has become a second home.

Fantastic experience: Very chill environment, a place for anyone. I started for fitness and then fell in love with the sport. A good mixture of girls and boys and everyone is so friendly and encouraging. The trainers really care and make an effort to get to know you and make you feel welcome. All around a really lovely club to be a part of

Fantastic experience: Amazing friendly coaches and staff, great for all fitness levels from people who want to fight or just shred a few kilos! Would recommend above any other gym in Wellington

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. Fantastic trainers.

Negative experience: Concerning around Gym Fees, no options to pay cash for efpots, no options to by a season pass or concession card, nothing. Only option is to enter a full retail loan agreement with all the common consumer restrictions etc, no different to if you were buying a car or borrowing thousands of dollars from a loan shark. If a fair go was offered on fees then would be a member, but I am not going to enter a full retail debt for a gym membership. Payment options need to be reviewed as the only current option is bad on credit reports and is unethical in finance lending. Seems like a place worth a 5 star rating if they were not so unprofessional and unethical with payment options to join :(

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! Great vibe and energy with amazing trainers! Smashed out a great work out for sure and the place is well set up and clean!

Fantastic experience: Tremendous with the kids.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym

Fantastic experience: One of the best parts of training in martial arts like Muay Thai is that it is as hard as you make it.When I started in April/June of 2019 I hit a maximum of 115 kg. It is now march of 2020 and I am just under 88 kg, and have learned new skills and new things that I can move my body that I never thought possible.

Fantastic experience: I've been doing the kids class for three years now, and I'm finally going to do the adults program. I learn a lot from the trainers and sparring is a blast. Great community of people.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a great team of trainers. dedicated to the game.

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming. And open. Full of energy and a foundation of knowledge.

Fantastic experience: I was passing thru Wellington, their head coach let me come in and get some training in. He is very detail oriented and breaks down each strike into different steps to make sure the body mechanics are correct. Fun atmosphere for some good training.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place to learn, very supportive and fun for beginners even though these people are experts, which meant there were people from all walks of life in our classes. Great way to get in shape in a fun social environment. Would recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: This gym does it. Does everything! For real!
