I started going to Phi Phi Muay Thai to change up my fitness and explore martial arts. I did a three class trial, and now it’s become one of my favorite things to do. It’s a great place for beginners because the gym is respectful and everybody is friendly. Every class so far has been unique and the owner Fahd is always finding ways to improve your form. Highly recommend trying it out if you’re on the fence about martial arts.

Love training at Phi Phi Muay Thai! Coach Fahd is awesome , he is super clear with instructions and helps you improve your technique. He is attentive during drills and somehow always sees everyone. You can ask him to repeat a drill or break it down and he will always help you get the best of you.
Classes are small (max 8 people). The sparring sessions are chill and non-competitive. The vibe in the gym overall is very sporty and non aggressive. No ego !! Which was a huge factor when I choose to train here. I felt welcome from day one.
They also offer strength training and conditioning focused on Muay Thai as well as yoga or stretching classes especially adapted for your needs.
I really enjoy being part of the gym and its little community.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a solid, good-energy place to train Muay Thai.

I traveled from Sioux Falls, SD to Palmetto, FL as a belated birthday gift to myself and discovered Phi Phi Muay Thai through some Google research and had to check it out especially after reading all of the great reviews from everyone, seeing how detailed/stacked the website is, and how quickly Kru Fahd responded to my messages in regards to questions I had before signing up for my trial 3 classes.
Phi Phi Muay Thai may have been a 35 minute drive from my little sister's place where I was staying, but it was absolutely worth it! Both the all groups and advanced classes that I attended were full of awesome, like-minded Muay Thai practitioners who brought a welcoming, positive energy that made training a blast!
Kru Fahd Elsaid also welcomed me wholeheartedly and his instructions throughout the classes are clear, concise, and he also goes into depth on the why you do certain things as well as how which I personally find to be the best way of teaching anyone anything in general especially if it's something that the person is unfamiliar with or trying out something new! He also takes the time to help out each group of people whenever he sees someone in need of understanding something and explains/demonstrates techniques in other ways to make things relatable!
Couldn't recommend this place and the people more to anyone! Definitely will book future classes whenever I visit Florida moving forward! Thanks again for having me, everyone! Until next time! 💪🙏

Amazing gym. Great trainer. I trained in Thailand for about 6 months, and when I came back to St Pete I was looking for a gym with a technical trainer who could help me learn various skills, combinations, and defense.
I found my spot at Phi Phi.
Fahd is a great trainer — he actively coaches you the entire class, helping you get better technically — and that's why I choose Phi Phi over other Muay Thai gyms in the St pete area.
He's great with beginners, he's great with intermediate and advanced fighters alike. It's a great workout, and the culture there is super welcoming and helpful.

I absolutely love this gym. I was nervous about joining a Muay Thai gym, but this place, the people, and the coach make every single session so enjoyable. What's more important is that I have consistently gotten better and more skilled with every session. I cannot recommend this gym more. If you are looking to train specific and technical work, or if you're just looking for a great workout, this is the place for you.

If you want to improve your physical, mental, and spiritual well being, look no further than Phi Phi. I came in as a beginner to Muay Thai and was met with kindness, professionalism, camaraderie, and damn good workouts. 🥊 Fahd is an excellent instructor! He takes the time to meet you where you are and focus on technique. I see progress every week and my overall fitness is the best it’s ever been. Come see why people fall in love with Muay Thai. You’ll be happy you did!

If you want to get into martial arts and improve your overall fitness, I can’t recommend Phi Phi Muay Thai enough. I started with no experience in martial arts and after a few weeks, I already feel stronger and healthier. The classes are fun, supportive, and challenging in the best way, and Fahd does an amazing job teaching even complete beginners like me. I’m excited to keep learning and I definitely recommend this place to anyone.

I have trained with multiple gyms and coaches in Dubai and Thailand but none have provided the instructions in such a clear and informative way as coach Fahd does, he made it so easy for me to finally absorb instructions that have been explained to me multiple times in such an effortless way.
I would definitely recommend for anyone who is a beginner or an intermediate/expert that is looking to enhance his technique to train with coach Fahd.

It's hard to put into words, how impactful Phi Phi Muay Thai has been to my life this past year but I will try. When I first walked into a beginners class, I didn't know what to expect. I was nervous and worried I wasn't physically fit enough to get through it but ended up feeling welcomed and comfortable almost immediately. Fahd is truly an amazing instructor who cares deeply about his students. He treats everyone with the individual attention they need and meets you at your current experience level. It's amazing to see how he can balance instructing both advanced fighters and newcomers, even at the same time in the same session. Since joining, I've lost nearly 50 lbs and gained a valuable self-defense skillset that I've become very passionate about. Whether you are looking for a new way to intensify your workouts or interested in learning about the art of the 8 limbs, this is the best place to accomplish those goals. I would recommend Fahd and Phi Phi Muay Thai to anyone. It's a remarkable gym, learning center, and community.

Kru Fahd at Phi Phi Muay Thai is one of the best martial arts instructors we have ever trained with.

If you are looking to learn a martial art skill, build strength both mentally and physically then check out Phi Phi Muay Thai. They also offer other mind and wellness classes that are very beneficial when paired with martial arts. I have enjoyed this class for 4 months now and I'm not planning on stopping. The classes are energetic and exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you to the staff and students! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very awesome school with quality training; flexibility and a friendly community of students! Fahd has taught me spot on, so much about Muay Thai my perspective on sports and martial arts have grown all together. When going to Phi Phi, you will be trained to your maximum potential and learn one of the most efficient styles of combat sports; while getting in the best shape! The atmosphere is amazing, you learn a lot quickly and have future opportunities to spar, take yoga and many other things. I highly recommend Phi Phi over any other gym because of the personal experience, respect for Muay Thai, professionalism, and quality of training! There's a good variety of classes here, and this is the best in St. Pete!

Fahd is a great instructor, I truly can’t stress that enough. He takes time to teach and teaches in different ways to help you learn. If you’re into yoga, Amanda is also amazing! Great playlist and she does a great job making you feel comfortable even when you’re not used to going. My only suggestion is to make more times available, but it’s understandable why they can’t. 5 stars on yelp, 10/10 recommend.

Phi Phi Muay Thai is awesome! Fahd is incredibly knowledgeable and detail-oriented so his teaching is technical and the improvement happens quickly - which is great. He genuinely cares about the members and adjusts his style based on the skill/athletic level of each member in the class. Each class is different and the routines vary so you are constantly learning while also building on prior instruction. It is a great workout for both the body and the mind - I strongly encourage everyone to try it out - you will not regret it!

I love this place! So I should start off by saying I am literally the most un-athletic person on the planet. Sports of any kind intimidate me. I signed up for this class because I wanted to push myself to try something totally outside of my normal comfort zone. My trainer is AMAZING! He is very passionate about the art of muy thai, he challenged me while also supporting me throughout the entirety of every class. Not only do I learn about muy Thai and a get full body work out in I learned about myself, building confidence, and persistence. I’m also a business owner and I apply what I’ve learned in this class to running my business and balancing all aspects of my life… I was not expecting that at ALL, haha! Muy Thai is more than fighting and movement or even a workout and you’ll discover that too when you go ;) Last thing I should mention was I was a bit nervous about the studio being hot or uncomfortable as many gyms I find can be like that. No, it is actually a really comfortable place to work out in so if you’re someone who also needs a comfortable place to train in this is the best space!

I was feeling pretty stressed and had some anger issues coming up so I looked for a healthy outlet to let that anger go. I found Phi Phi Muay Thai and took the introduction class and loved it. I’ve been going for two months now and my anger issues have gone away. Not only that but the 90 minute sessions are fun and challenging. The instruction is great and all the members are really cool. I also noticed that my hip and leg mobility has improved drastically, even more so than when I was doing yoga. I think all of the kicks and hip rotations have engaged muscles I rarely use and really open up the hips which is great. I high recommend if you are looking for an alternative therapeutic outlet or you just want to have fun and learn how to fight.

Loved my first class! Was nervous beforehand bc I’ve never done anything like this, and I’d done a google search for trans friendly places in Tampa area to learn martial arts and the only results were people saying trans folks shouldn’t be in martial arts. So, kind of took a chance on this place and everyone was super welcoming and friendly! Fahd is a fantastic teacher and so are the other students I met! Hope to be back soon.

This is the first time I have ever taken any form of martial arts and I can attest that this is really a way to train both your mind and body.
I've been going for almost 2 months now and I have been building strength, flexibility, balance, endurance, and agility. The most important benefit to me is that it has has been building my mental strength including focus and discipline.
Fahd is an excellent and trusting instructor who will guide you carefully during class. He takes the time to explain the reasoning behind the skills and techniques and will always provide reminders, tips, and encouragement during the classes. It takes time to build the skills and learn the techniques. I am still learning, but I see myself progressing with all of the benefits listed above and it is very exciting and empowering!
You’ll feel pretty badass once you start picking up the skills and you won’t feel like time is dragging ( like when you’re at the gym) because it’s a whole lot of fun too.
Also, working as a dog walker I feel more at ease and safe walking the downtown streets during the evenings because I find myself more aware of my surroundings and I can now defend myself in the case it is necessary.
Challenge your body and mind for peak performance, feel more confident, and have fun working out, you'll really love it!

I've been wanting to join a martial arts studio for many years now & kept procrastinating. Then I was eating on Central Ave & noticed the sign for Phi Phi Muay Thai, looked into it further, signed up for the one week free trial and after that I signed up for a year. I'm excited for the journey, it can be intimidating learning a new skill especially once one isn't such a young buck anymore but Fahd has me excited to see how far I can go with Muay Thai in technical skill, flexibility & confidence. I'm excited for myself on this journey & excited to see how the school grows as well. Fahd is passionate about helping people build their focus, power & skills and it makes it a pleasure to come in & work with him even when I'm tired. Come in, check it out, see for yourself.
