JS Muay Thai: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Jo and som are amazing people and you won’t regret booking with them. They have personal training to help you with your goals and offer a range of classes. I truly can’t recommend this place enough. Joanne has been my trainer for over 5 years and has taught me everything. I came to her with zero experience and she managed to make me feel more confident and have always tailored the training towards me.
Fantastic experience: I've had an amazing experience at JS Muay Thai club! The trainers are top-notch and incredibly supportive, helping me achieve my fitness goals every step of the way. They will really work to push you to grow and be the best version of yourself. Also its very much a stress free environment and everyone is genuinely nice and understanding that everybody is different. Highly recommend for anyone looking to train with the best!
Fantastic experience: Love training here! The community of women is so supportive and motivating! Great MT trainers and strength coaches :) highly recommend to anyone thinking of trying or joining!
Fantastic experience: Best Muay Thai gym if you’re a beginner and looking for a place to start. The coaches are the best and the community you join is awesome. You make so many new friends and learn how to kick butt!
Fantastic experience: I joined Jo and Som’s gym about a month ago and this is the best Muay Thai gym ever!! Even if you are just starting out this is the perfect Muay Thai gym to start. They offer beginner 101 classes and all the instructors make sure your technique and form are solid. Everyone at this gym is also super supportive and nice. Jo and Som has created a great community and have always encouraged all of us to get to know each other. The JS gym has strength, clinch, sparring, and one on one PT classes. They also offer sauna and compression boots for recovery. If you are injured, they work around it and provide exercises you can do while recovering.
Fantastic experience: Jo and Som are not only the best trainers but the loveliest people that care about their clients. If you are a woman wanting to start Muay Thai they offer a safe encouraging environment where you can be a complete beginner and slowly build up to sparring days against other women from other clubs if that’s where you desire to get to. You’ll have fun along the way and if sparring is not your thing you can continue to do it for fun fitness and the friendships you’ll make along the way. Book a class. You won’t regret it.
Fantastic experience: I recently joined JS Muay Thai gym and was a little apprehensive about pad work however it's such a great gym, good workouts, coaches focus on technique, provide one on one support and have so many add on programs such as nutrition seminars, weights 101, clinching. The first gym where ive attended 3 hour classes in a day

Fantastic experience: The BEST gym I have ever been to. I’ve tried so many gyms in the area that have promoted a community focus but no one has got it right like JS. Do not be afraid to try it out, they are genuinely the most welcoming, inclusive and fun space.
Thank you Martika for sharing your experience. Can't wait to see your journey unfold. See you soon!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend to any female looking to start Muay Thai, regardless of experience level. The coaches are great and helpful. Amazing community. Bonus points for really nice and clean bathrooms and showers ✌
Thank you Tracy! Keep smashing it every week.
Fantastic experience: I have been at JS for a few months now & have been doing 1-on-1 PT with Jo. This gym is AMAZING and so are Jo & Som and their other trainers. They have created a supportive & empowering community of women. I have been to a few different Muay Thai gyms and this one has definitely been the most inclusive and welcoming, making anybody feel comfortable regardless of skill level or experience. I always leave feeling invigorated & pumped with energy and endorphins. OOS OOS BABY!!!!!
Thank you Felicia! Can't want to see where you will be in the next few months. You have been training hard and you will achieve any goals you have ahead. More, more energy!
Fantastic experience: It’s always a bit intimidating starting something new but the crew at JS are so warm and encouraging. You can tell everyone is super passionate and there to empower you. I’m so grateful to have found such an amazing gym to continue to learn and grow.
Thank you Thao for the kind review. Excited to have you on the team.
Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best gym I have been to (I've been to a few!) and I have never settled into a new place so fast. Coaches Jo, Som and Cindy are so welcoming and supportive, as are all the other members – everyone is here to learn and support each other regardless of skill levels. I went from "just trying out" to 5-6 classes a week in a short time, when previously with other gyms I've always used the "no time" excuse. Under JS' coaching I am feeling much stronger, more confidence and I can feel my skills improving. Most of all, I no longer look forward to rest days and going to JS has become my non-negotiable. I highly recommend JS to anyone who has ever wondered about starting Muay Thai, this is the best place to be!
Thank you so much for your kind words Julia. We love seeing you throughout the week. You have improved so much and show commitment to all the classes you attend. Here comes the 100 kicks. You got this!
Fantastic experience: I love this gym ❤️ great community vibe. Jo and Som are amazing coaches, super supportive and a lot of fun!
Thank you Nyssa for sharing your experience! We are glad you're having so much fun. That's how it's suppose to be. If you're not having fun, you're not learning.
Fantastic experience: I have been training 3 months so far and the experience is amazing, not only because the quality of the classes but because of the amazing vives the Gym has. A lot of respect, gratification and support. Good team work!
Thank you Elibeth for sharing your experience. You have been amazing! Can't wait to see you in class next.
Fantastic experience: I tried the 8 week course and fell in love with Mauy Thai! The coaches are incredible and experienced, heaps of classes to go to whether it’s during the day or night time. The facilities are clean and tidy. Jo and Som have built such an amazing community with their gym!! The ladies are so open and welcoming. It’s like a home away from home. Bring a friend and try it out together!
Thank you Delaney for sharing your experience with everyone. Now the whole family comes. How amazing is that. I love seeing you all in every week.
Fantastic experience: My friend invited me to try out a Muay Thai class with her at JS and encouraged me to try out the 8 weeks course. I did and from there I was hooked, from doing 1 class a week to 3 classes a week to now training 6 days a week. Jo and Som has created such a safe, fun and supportive environment where I can be myself, have fun, train hard and challenge me to be the best version of myself. They are knowledgable and passionate about what they do and are quick to help you and act upon any concerns or achievements you want to focus on. I highly recommend JSMT for all females out there to feel empowered, confident and start/continue their fitness journey for themselves. I have meet so many beautiful and kind hearted women at this gym and they continue to inspire me each day to achieve my fitness goals.
Fantastic experience: I have loved every minute of learning Mauy Thai from coaches jo and som. They have created an amazing space where women can learn to fight.
Fantastic experience: This morning I was on my way home from Melbourne and was having the worst morning my phone had died I was lost I had taken a wrong turn and no idea where I was about to have a panic attack. I stopped off at a service station and asked the girl behind the counter if she had an iPhone charger so I could charge my phone and pay for a charger as I didn’t even bring my wallet. A girl behind me wearing a top for JS Muay Thai told me she would pay for the charger! I have never taken anything from anyone in my life! Thank you for your kindness you wouldn’t give me your banking details so I am now a proud owner of one of your hoodies
Fantastic experience: Both Jo and Som have build a fantastic community that is welcoming and supportive. Their classes are energetic and fun though also technical and challenging. Highly recommend joining a class

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the 8-week intro to Muay Thai classes. It's made learning the fundamentals of Muay Thai really fun. Jo and Som bring a really great energy to every class ^.^
Fantastic experience: Jo and Som are wonderfully supportive coaches, and the JS community is friendly and welcoming. I’ve been training with Jo and Som for a few years now and am thrilled that they’ve opened their own gym. The facilities are fantastic and the classes are challenging but certainly not impossible. It’s been an absolute joy to watch newcomers find their confidence and strength, and as an intermediate student it has been wonderful to hone my skills and level up in terms of technique and fitness. Highly recommended! Beginners are welcome, and Muay Thai truly is a sport you can start at any age or fitness level. Come and have a go!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely in love with the gym and its facilities. Jo and Som are such amazing people and make sure everyone is welcomed no matter their background and their experience level. So glad to see what they are bringing to the scene and can’t wait to come out of winter stronger and better!
Fantastic experience: The best gym, best culture, best community!
Fantastic experience: Jo and Som foster such a comfortable environment, which is essential when learning a new sport as a woman. I am so grateful to have access to such experienced fighters and they are worth every cent!
Fantastic experience: I never imagined that I would be in my 40's and learning a combat sport, but here I am. If you are feeling out of control of your body and want to improve your physical and mental wellbeing I can't recommend Muay Thai enough. It's been the most effective weight loss regimen I have ever tried and as an added bonus I have made new friends and found a community I never imagined existed. If you are nervous about taking the plunge because you are currently out of shape and low on self confidence I encourage you to make that first step with JS Muay Thai as it really is a unique atmosphere where Gym's are concerned. You will find yourself welcomed and encouraged by Jo and Som but also everyone else you meet.
Fantastic experience: JS Mauy Thai has allowed me to get out of my head and into my body. Jo and Som are hardworking coaches and business owners who help and support you achieve your goals no matter what. Everyone at the gym is encouraging and inspiring and they make you feel so welcome every single session. I am truely grateful for all the hard work the JS team has put into the new location and new classes. They have created a safe and inclusive space for people to learn new skills and push themselves. Thank you JS Mauy Thai!
Fantastic experience: Such an amazing, supportive and empowering space for women in Muay Thai! Beautiful gym, incredible coaches and such strong community!!! 10/10 recommend.
Fantastic experience: Everything that you’re looking for, you will find it at JS Mauy Thai. Jo & Som have created the perfect environment that empowers women to step into their highest, strongest self through the art of Muay Thai. This space not only elevates fitness, but mentality, friendship, lifestyle, and so so much more! With their immense passion, doing what they do best, you will be welcomed with open arms. You’ll definitely get more out of it than you think!
Fantastic experience: Who knew trying an 8-week course of how to Muay Thai would lead me to staying with this group of amazing people till this date! A very fun and supportive environment, which I enjoy spending my time here for almost 3 years. I was encouraged to grow physically, mentally and emotionally. Som and Jo’s classes are highly technical and provide instant feedbacks for development. Their sparring day is an awesome event, which gives me purpose to train (besides staying fit). Every time I come out of the ring, I feel like I’ve become a different person. I feel stronger, more confident, and more opened to challenges, both in classes and in life.
Fantastic experience: Jo and Som are awesome trainers - very kind, caring and experts at what they do. They make learning MT and Boxing fun and at the same time challenging (in a good way!). JSMT is more that just a Muay Thai studio. It's a great environment for women who wants to get fit and learn Muay Thai - with or without experience on the sport. Glad to be a part of this supportive community that empowers each other.
TRhank you Tish! You are amazing! Can't wait to watch your journey in Muay Thai. Keep up the great work. See you in the next class to smash it.
Fantastic experience: Jo and Som are two of the most caring, knowledgeable and passionate trainers I have ever met. They have a sincere love for the art of Muay Thai as well as a strong desire to help the community through the sport. I highly recommend their courses and coaching to any woman looking to face their fears and become their best!
Fantastic experience: Warm, inclusive and welcoming atmosphere! Trainers Jo and Som are highly skilled, connected to and passionate about what they do, which makes the experience of being guided and taught by them an amazing one. If you are unfamiliar with Muay Thai and would like to give it a go, HERE is the place to start!!
Fantastic experience: The best decision I made since moving to Melbourne was training with these girls. The classes are welcoming and supportive with no ego. Jo and Som are both experienced fighters so can cater to your skill level from complete beginners to advanced.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend any female looking to try Muay Thai go along and train with Som and Joanne. They have created a great culture and females of all fitness levels/ experience are welcomed. I started with no prior experience and am now in love with Muay Thai. I have seen a great improvement in my fitness and technic by training under Som and in group classes with Joanne and my peers!
Fantastic experience: Jo and Som are not only brilliant coaches, but brilliant people. They have created this thriving community of amazing women in which they invest in your physical and mental wellbeing. JS Muay Thai is perfect for anyone who is at the beginning of their Muay Thai journey and are looking for a supportive and fun environment, or also for anyone who has been training for years - you’re always learning and improving. Keep up the good work ladies!
Fantastic experience: As a beginner in Muay Thai, and marshal arts in general, I was conscious of finding somewhere that I thought was welcoming and novice-friendly. I have feel excited and happy to have found such a space here, where Jo and Som are very patient and skilled teachers, offering effective guidance with some very welcome humour and kind natured fun. I'm really enjoying learning with the other women here, and find myself wanting to come back to learn again and again. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Perfect community if you want to be around strong, caring, helpful woman... ive been with js now for 3 years jo and som are awesome trainers and i wouldn't look back. If there were 10 stars id give them 10/10
Fantastic experience: Jo and Som are such great coaches! I recently joined the 8-week beginner Muay Thai course and was incredibly nervous, especially as I had to miss my first class and a few others. They were so accommodating and let me join a few of their other classes that were for non-beginners, but even in these group classes, they still tailored the session for me so that I could still participate with all the other incredible ladies in the class. I've found it hard to start any martial art as the environment seems daunting which is why I'm so glad I found JS Muay Thai as it fosters the perfect environment of women empowering women. Jo amd Som are so warm and friendly which makes learning Muay Thai so fun!
Fantastic experience: Jo and Som create such a fun, friendly and non-judgmental environment to learn Muay Thai. I'm new to MT and have been enjoying the beginners course. Looking forward to continuing with classes after the 8 weeks is up Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: JS Muay Thai are amazing, I can't speak highly enough of Jo and Som. I started with JS at 36, unfit with no previous experience in martial arts. It was intimidating at first but with the awesome, encouraging coaching from Jo and Som and the support from the other fantastic women in the group, I now feel confident and thoroughly enjoy working towards improving my technique both physically and mentally.
Fantastic experience: I love going to JS Muay Thai. The trainers Jo and Som are friendly and very technical. I have learnt a lot from the classes. All members are friendly and would recommend to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Best trainers a girl can find. Absolutely LOVE the community Jo and Som have created. Always warm and welcoming xx
Fantastic experience: I will never forget how nervous I felt on my first day of the 8 week course I had signed up for. I knew 1 other person there & it was Som, but here I was with 20 other ladies looking as nervous as me. Let me tell you though it was the best thing I ever did. When I think back to how I felt on the first day I giggle at myself, the community Jo & Som have built in JS Muay Thai is amazing, it is a fantastic group of people supporting & encouraging each other. I have now done 3 of the 8 week courses they have run, lots online zoom classes in lockdown (including little weekly challenges they set) & many pt sessions also. I have made so many new friends & love the banter in class and on the facebook group. Jo & Som are absolutely amazing coaches! They take the time to explain how to do the moves, the correct techniques, sequences & why we should do it that way. I never feel afraid to ask a question, even if it is one I have asked many times before. Their love of both coaching & Muay Thai shines through in every lesson & session I have done. I have left many sessions happy, proud of myself, walking a little taller & having had a great time with lots of giggles. Signing up for the course was the best thing I ever did, it has changed my life for the better in so many ways, I cannot recommend this company & these amazing coaches enough.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and such a good environment for females wanting to start muay thai, improve their skills or even build confidence. I am very glad I have found such a great group. Everyone is very supportive of each other. I would definitely recommend trying out some classes.
Fantastic experience: JS Muay Thai has carved a perfect niche for itself, catering to females interested in starting Muay Thai. Classes are held in a friendly and welcoming environment and the two coaches are always making an effort to teach the basics, while also not shying away from more technical drills. Although I've been doing Muay Thai for over 5 years I still learn something from every session. I completed the advanced 8-week course a couple of years ago but have also been joining the online sessions during lockdown, which has really helped with both my physical and mental health. I'd recommend JS Muay Thai to anyone keen to start Muay Thai, where you'll learn from two highly accomplished and capable coaches!
