100% TESTED ON HUMANS
I first came to Phoenix when my dad bought Anthony’s old van still adorned with Phoenix stickers and TTFU logos. After some research, I was curious about the gym itself and after heading in to my first junior dragons class, I had never seen as much commitment, motivation and effort by all different people going into their training. Needless to say, this rubbed off on me. After my first junior sparring classes I was hooked, and so eager to train as much as I could; alongside a great group of people and coaches that are constantly supporting and encouraging you to go that step further.
The first seminar I attended was an experience I’ll never forget. The coaches, top fighters, advanced to TTFU-intermediate students and beginners like me all training collectively to better their own techniques and help everyone else in doing the same. The sense of community at Phoenix is like no other, as everyone is connected with that goal of improvement, discipline and determination. Training with the fight team for the past couple of years has allowed to realise a whole new side of my training and fighting abilities, through hours and hours of hard slog. The sense of community and how rewarding the feelings are of pushing yourself to your limits and reaping the rewards of your hard training are truly indescribable. There have been countless Saturday mornings where I’ve left sparring completely exhausted, pummelled and covered in bruises with a big smile on my face because however small it may seem, knowing that you worked hard and that you’re improving is enough to make you smile through the pain.
I’ve been able to achieve things I never thought possible through my dedication and commitment to training and upholding the values of Phoenix Gym. I had my first fight and came away with a win, an experience I would previously have never even considered. The feeling of being in the ring surrounded by lights and noise and filled with adrenaline is one like no other. I wouldn’t have been able to even come close to that without the encouragement and support from everyone. The coaches, the fight team, and everyone else at Phoenix.
I can’t deny that training and fighting at Phoenix have been some of the hardest, yet most rewarding challenges I’ve ever faced, both mentally and physically. And I couldn’t think of a gym that gives you an experience anything like it. There has been (minimal) blood, a whole lot of sweat and certainly tears (along with a copious amount of bruising) during my time at training, sparring and being a dedicated member of Phoenix; but this is only just the beginning, I know I am only getting started.

I’ve been into fitness for most of my life and have been a member of several gyms, both here in Canberra and in Sydney.
Of all of these gyms I can honestly say that Phoenix is the best!
And here are three key reasons why:
1. You feel ‘part of something’ when you train at Phoenix versus just being another anonymous gym goer. Members and staff are friendly; people know you by name. It’s that sense of community and comradery that exists at Phoenix which is special and keeps you
coming back.
2. The quality of coaching is superb. All of the coaches at Phoenix work hard to craft challenging and varied workouts which push you; and once done, always leave you with that satisfied post workout glow. The coaches also take the time to talk to each class participant to provide tailored options for select participants if one or more of the set exercises in a class are too difficult for their level or if they are dealing with an injury.
3. ‘You’re not fit until you are Phoenix fit’ is actually a truism! I was doing a lot of gym work and running prior to joining Phoenix and considered myself very fit; but it wasn’t until joining Phoenix 4 years ago and doing their Grunt Fit & Fighting Fit classes that my fitness
went to the next level. Having tried many so called ‘high intensity training’ classes’ at other gyms I can safely say Phoenixes’ fitness classes easily trump them all and will have you ‘properly’ fit in no time.

When I was 4 years old I asked my parents if I could do Muay Thai, they were a little surprised but agreed that as soon as I turned 5, I could start. I began training at Phoenix Gym in 2011.
I enjoyed it so much and was eager to improve and train every day. Muay Thai has taught me so many morals such as respect, determination and self-confidence. In 2015 I stepped in the ring to have my first fight. I usually sparred with the boys who always challenged me so I wanted to see how I would go against someone the same size and weight as me. I won my fight and then went on to win 4 more.
Every time I am at the gym, I am encouraged to train hard and to the best of my ability. I am a fitter and braver person. Muay Thai constantly challenges me, which keeps me coming back to improve and gain more ability in all aspects of my fitness and skill.
The discipline and self-control that I’ve learnt through training in Muay Thai has also benefited me in other aspects of my life such as always trying as hard as I can at school to achieve the best results possible both academically and with school sports. Additionally, it has given me a greater understanding of how to stay happy and healthy through exercise and good nutrition as well as the effects of negative factors such as drugs and alcohol. Muay Thai is the sport I love because it always challenges me to work hard and I feel great after a tough training session. I love being super fit, strong and confident as well as encouraging the younger kids to do well. Through Muay Thai I have accomplished things I could only imagine. One day I hope to represent Australia at the Olympics in Muay Thai, that’s my goal.
