Fantastic experience: The best Mauy thai trainer I’ve ever had, in my experience I’ve had some good trainers, but with Vaz he will take your training program to the highest level, where you will see what your own body is capable of doing, he will guide you through your weaknesses and help you improve them, step by step. Enough said from me if you wanna experience some serious training, get a hold of Vaz, take your body and health to the next level.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Vaz Muay Thai for about a month now, attending sessions every Saturday and Sunday. Kru Vaz has been my personal trainer during the weekends, and I can confidently say the training is intense and challenging in the best way possible. The focus on discipline is evident in every session, and I really appreciate how dedicated he is to helping each individual improve. What stands out to me most, aside from the great training, is the sense of community and respect. You can feel the genuine support and connection among everyone in the gym, whether they’re long-time members or newcomers. It’s not just about training it’s about building each other up. If you’re looking for a place that provides excellent Muay Thai training and a welcoming environment, I highly recommend giving Vaz Muay Thai a try. The results speak for themselves!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely outstanding academy! There’s a true family feel here that sets it apart from anywhere else. My son has trained since he was 4 and the progress he’s made is incredible, not just in Muay Thai but in discipline in and out of class, confidence, resilience and dedication. Now my daughter trains too and she loves it! Kru Vaz is genuinely invested in every single child, and his team of trainers are brilliant with the kids. The values they teach go far beyond the sport. A rare gem of an academy - committed, inspiring and completely different from the rest.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at VMTA with Vaz for years, and it’s been an incredible journey. Vaz is a tough coach who pushes you to be your best, teaching not just how to fight, but discipline and respect. The gym has a great atmosphere and everyone is respectful and helpful

Fantastic experience: Great place. I am very pleased with the professional approach to everyone, from beginner to professional. The team is very friendly. Special thanks to the trainer Kru Vaz Facey, a real professional in his field. I liked it and I recommend it to everyone.
Fantastic experience: The best personal trainer ever , he motivated me to get better, helped me with my weight loss fast process he taught me to never give up
Fantastic experience: For years, I have taken classes led by Vaz and over the last 12 months have had him as my Personal Trainer twice a week. I cannot recommend the classes, Academy and PT sessions highly enough. Whatever your goal is - Vaz will help you achieve it. Vaz is a tough coach while also being patient and kind; he took time to understand my goals and created a tailored program to ensure I met my target. Vaz figured me out quickly; he intuitively knew the sessions where a ‘no-nonsense’ harder approach was needed vs some days when I needed to be treated with kid gloves. I’ve learned boxing & kickboxing skills, my technique has advanced, as has my form when using free weights and machines in the gym. My overall fitness has improved, my body shape changed and I was delighted with the results of the program Vaz set for me. The original aim was to feel fabulous at 40 and be happy in my wedding dress, we met those goals and I've continued to train with him ensuring consistency and further gains. I would recommend taking any of Vaz’s classes or having him as a PT, he is approachable and friendly but keeps it professional at all times, he's reliable and works hard with his clients to achieve their goals.
Fantastic experience: Vaz is very helpful and he does what he has to do to keep you happy and motivated
Fantastic experience: Fantastic trainer

Fantastic experience: Vaz is currently my personal trainer and I must say it was the best decision I ever made very friendly professional and discipline at the same time. I have made so much improvement with him for a starter like me and also helped build my confidence.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Vaz for the last 6-7 months in Muay Thai and Weight Training. He is a great mentor and I feel amazing watching myself grow over the last year with his training sessions and his dedication to his clients. I can see the change and how far I have progressed with Vaz. I would highly recommend Vaz if you want to embark on your fitness journey. Thanks Vaz!
Fantastic experience: Vaz is an excellent trainer who is extremely skilled and knowledgeable when it comes to fitness.

Fantastic experience: I strongly endorse Vaz as a personal trainer. He pays close attention to your specific requests regarding workout intensity, ensuring that it aligns with your needs. Vaz accommodates individuals of all fitness levels and possesses the knowledge to push you just enough to bring out your best. He customizes workouts to suit your goals, and I have personally benefited from his valuable advice on effectively toning my postpartum body. Vaz's flexible approach has been incredibly effective for me, and I have witnessed fantastic improvements since he started designing home workouts and monitoring my progress.
