Hanuman Thai Boxing

Fantastic experience: 9/10 great junior class, tried this gym out and found it great, will definitely be willing to go again next time up in Edinburgh.

Fantastic experience: Joining Hanuman was the best decision I made while I was in Edinburgh.The coaches were the best you could ask for very attentive at how your doing when doing drills and on the pads.The gym is also very well maintained and after relocating to Jane street it houses its own Private Gym as well.Definitely would go back if I am ever in Edinburgh again.

Fantastic experience: I had my first Muay Thai session at Hanuman last week and it was a fantastic experience. I came in feeling a bit shy since I didn’t know anyone, but Malcolm was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He got me partnered up straight away and encouraged me all the way through. He’s clearly very skilled but also great at explaining things simply for a complete beginner. I left feeling really positive and motivated to come back for more sessions. A big thank you as well to Agnieszka and Gosia for being so patient and helpful over email in the lead-up to my visit. A truly welcoming gym with a great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym run professionally with welcoming staff and students. Decent space, clear instruction and coaches make an effort to go around the class to help everyone. Coaches seemed to give their undivided attention for the full class which I really appreciated (rather than being on their phones which is too common these days!). Level of muay thai is high - they have a good few pros and they simultaneously cater for beginners, intermediate and beyond. They have a £10/session walk in option if you're just visiting or can't do a full membership for whatever reason. Shout out to Kirsty and Malcolm who took the classes I attended. To be honest it's 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 because.... a few new Thai pads to replace the ones with the stuffing falling out would have been nice - think I inhaled some foam when my partners were banging out the big kicks . Regardless, looking forward to the next time I get back to Edinburgh

Fantastic experience: The best

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym run by real professionals. Although I was able to train here only for a short while it had been a real privilege. The coaches are caring and supportive and cater to all kinds of levels from complete beginners to advanced fighters. I am very happy to have picked this place as a starting point of my Muay Thai journey.

Fantastic experience: I've trained at Hanuman for years and this review is overdue. I joined in my late 30's with limited experience. Over a few years I came to understand the depth of the sport, scoring, and the differences in various styles. The coaching standard is very high. The coaches are very knowledgeable, fair, and can help you achieve your goals. The gym is regarded by many as Scotland's best academy and, in my opinion, is among the best outside of Thailand. The gym community are close to my heart. They've become an extension of my family. Thanks for everything .

Fantastic experience: One of the best martial arts schools in the country.

Fantastic experience: Top tier Muay Thai gym for all, from beginners to very advanced. I trained here for five months while living in Edinburgh. The standard of teaching and many of the members is really high. Fundamentals and all-level classes available for all. The advanced class looks brilliant - my only regret was not being able to train consistently enough to join it.

Fantastic experience: Best Muay Thai Gym in Edinburgh! Everyone here is extremely friendly and the atmosphere will motivate you to improve yourself both in the sport and in general life. The coaches are very welcoming with world class advice, always making sure to give equal attention to members of all skill levels. On top there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in competitions if that is what you're looking for.

Fantastic experience: My class at Hanuman was awesome. I was visiting from out of town, signed up for a day pass, and took a muay thai class in the middle of the day. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, and my partner for drilling was pretty solid, so we both got good work in. If I lived in the area, I would almost certainly train here.

Negative experience: I attended a trial lesson but decided not to continue. I am writing this review both as a benefit to the club and as critical information for those who are considering joining. Firstly, it would be great if the smell inside was ventilated. At first you will be greeted by an intense smell of rubber and sweat. Secondly, even if you are a beginner student, you are expected to take the punches of another fighter for half an hour in the first lesson. You may not be ready in terms of conditioning, but you are still expected to hold heavy things in your hands and receive other kicks and punches. Although I politely told the instructor that I could not continue to hold these heavy blockers for someone else because I was tired, but I found his "you have to fill out the time of your fighting partner" type of response very uncomfortable. If such details are improved, it is a place that can be improved greatly. But for now, I didn't find this place encouraging for myself.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely loved my time at Hanuman fighting gym! The coaches are phenomenal, ensuring everyone, regardless of their level, is fully engaged and improving. The atmosphere here is both challenging and supportive, perfect for beginners and advanced fighters alike. A big plus is the gym's inclusive approach. With women's only and kids classes, they truly cater to everyone. It’s a welcoming place where you can grow and challenge yourself in martial arts. I highly recommend Hanuman Gym to anyone looking for quality training in a friendly environment.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Hanuman, a few great points: 1) Safety - There are inherent risks to combat sports, things were always kept safe here. There was an emphasis on keeping things safe and sustainable unless you specifically wanted to spar hard, in which case that was available. 2) Training methodology - everything served the purpose of improving your skills. Even warm up/conditioning generally involved getting in reps on knees, teeps etc. 3) Welcoming and friendly - there are plenty of high level athletes there, but I never detected any egos and everyone was great to work with.

Positive experience: I enjoyed atmosphere. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with top notch coaching! Hanuman is a friendly welcoming place to people of all levels! Staff and coaches are incredibly helpful and attentive to everyones needs. Best thing about the gym is the atmosphere! An ethos of hard work with a smile! Would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great people and last but not least great instructors, always ready to make you feel part of the group and push you beyond your limits.

Fantastic experience: Before joining Hanuman I was a sickly baby-man, with arms like damp noodles, a spine curled like a prawn, and atrophied legs like little cornichons. After three years training here I have become a muscular Adonis, my skin glows with health and strength, and my wife assures me that I have become at least 35% more handsome.

Fantastic experience: The staff here were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Made me feel very comfortable as a newcomer with no prior experience. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym for Muay Thai and Boxing. Great support from the trainers and very welcoming for beginners. You can learn a lot from the sessions, and everyone there is super friendly.

Fantastic experience: Best Muay Thai gym in Edinburgh! The coaches and people who attend classes are always friendly and welcoming, even for newcomers. I would highly recommend this gym for anyone who was wanting to start Muay Thai, Boxing or learn a form of self defence.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with great coaches and quality training. It has the best atmosphere i've seen in a boxing gym, no big egos like other places. Absolutely recommended!

Fantastic experience: Made to feel very welcome, good coaches and equipment. Muay Thai, boxing best in Scotland!

Fantastic experience: Great gym and coaches

Fantastic experience: Been training here for almost 10 years now. Whatever your goal is to be a world champion or just get fit, it’s all here for you. Best martial arts gym in Edinburgh !

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and good gym. All coaches are very good at what they do and have lots of experience and always make time to help no matter what experience level you are

Fantastic experience: Feels like home! Great coaches, super friendly members and the level of talent in one place is impressive! Beginners to A class fighters all training together. Excellent stuff. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've started my Muay Thai journey almost 10 years ago in this very gym, and I still remember being a lost guy with no purpose in life back then. Even though I'm still struggling with depression and addiction, Hanuman Thai Boxing feels like a safe place to come back to when my mind and thoughts feel heavier than usual. Wojtek and Roan have helped me a lot during that time, prepared me for all the professional fights. It's not just the gym - it feels like a second home! Once you start going to classes, you belong to this place. Everybody is equal, no matter what they're dealing with in life. Highly recommend this place for all - you won't regret it. It's worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: Great club, even better people. Would 100% recommend if you are looking to learn Muay Thai or boxing.

Fantastic experience: Huge thank you to Wojtek, Roan, Sandra and everyone else at Hanuman. I learned so much both technique-wise and also life lessons with my brief time training here whilst travelling. Super friendly and powerful atmosphere, high quality equipment, legit knowledge shared and experienced coaches. I felt very welcomed here, they treat you very well. No matter your skill level you must check Hanuman out.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym learnt loads from a couple of visits, credit to Rowan he's a great coach.

Negative experience: Really not a good gym as review imply, boring and repetitive sessions with the same stuff repeated (likely copied from online training sessions someone’s put on youtube). One coach’s sessions consist of 50 mins of talking and 10 min of actual work. Sessions are for your average office guy/gal who comes in, has coaches shouting at you that you’re doing good just to make you think you’re doing well and get you to keep going there. Sometimes they don’t even say anything because they think you’re a lost cause and don’t want to waste time since all they do is spend time on their “fighters” and “fight team”. Pretty sure they get people to write good reviews to improve their image when this place really is very mid. Honestly for the money you’re spending you’re better getting a normal gym membership and a PT so that you can get proper results.

Fantastic experience: I used to think that getting punched in the face was something to avoid at all costs. But after training at Hanuman Thai Boxing, I've come to realize that it's actually kind of fun. Maybe it's the endorphins, or maybe it's the fact that the trainers are very sound and make getting beat up seem like a good time. Either way, I highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants to learn Muay thai, self defence or just get in shape. Just be warned: you might leave with a few bruises, but they're totally worth it for the laughs and proper blowing workout you'll get in return. Thanks lads for teaching me that getting hit in the face isn't always a bad thing

Fantastic experience: joining hanuman is one of the best things you can do for your mental and physical health. i started out with hanuman a year and a half ago not having done much serious muay thai training and through the fantastic coaches and facilities i gained the confidence to step in the ring. i would thoroughly recommend hanuman to anyone whether a beginner looking to blow off some steam after work or a fighter looking to improve their game.

Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best Muay Thai gym in Edinburgh. Everything about this place speaks excellence, from the way the coaches run classes, to how they interact with students, to any online queries you may have. Everything is always dealt with extremely professionally. You are always made to feel really welcome and just generally a great atmosphere in the place. They always have things going on in and outside the club and want students to reach their full potential. Examples of things going on in the club: inter club meets, sparring sessions, 121 with coaches and also a new initiative recently been launched, the Amateur fight league. Whether you just want to get fit, learn self defence or train for an amateur fight these guys and girls have got it covered. They also run female only classes so if you would feel more comfortable training with just other girls that is also available. There is also some sessions running weekly aimed at mindfulness and meditation so if that’s your thing this is available too. If your a beginner or a seasoned pro, regardless of your level you will thrive in this club. There is a selection of different memberships available where you can pay per day/ class , for the week or for the full month. Whatever suits your needs. Just contact them and they will give you a quick reply to your query. Don’t hesitate get yourself down Hanumans Edinburgh

Fantastic experience: Great gym to learn thai boxing with knowledgeable coaches who are masters of their craft. They have also opened another gym in Livingston to offer even more services to members

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, with great coaches for both beginners and advanced. The coaching is great and intense, great for learning and for having a great workout. Highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I trained at Hanuman for over 3 years and it was one of the best experiences of my life. From the day you enter the door the team is beyond welcoming and extremely friendly,atmosphere is great and coaches are amazing! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Best of the best

Fantastic experience: Best in class gym, equipment, trainers and people. There is a wide selection of classes which run every day of the week and that cater to all skill levels. Expert coaching and fighters are always around to help take your game to the next level. The coaches are also extremely helpful and always happy to answer questions! Always looking forward to my next visit - can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to learn. Fantastic environment with helpful people!

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for the training. This is a great club for all type of people and levels. Their booking system it’s so easy and flexible that you can adjust your training as you pleased. The membership is so affordable that motivates you to keep training every month Highly recommended ☀️

Fantastic experience: Best Muay Thai gym I've been to Edinburgh! The standard of coaching is really high and the coaches are always happy to answer questions. There is a great selection of classes that are suitable for all ability levels. 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great place teachers are 10/10

Fantastic experience: Great gym great people

Fantastic experience: Fantastig Gym, Amazing Trainers! Gym for everyone!

Fantastic experience: Am 67. Done many aspects of training. As workouts go you'd be hard pressed to find a sport that will work your total body. Increased stamina, building muscle, burning fat and many training programs to suit your needs But this place suits my late years. So it might suit yours. Recreational thai boxing, bag work, pad work and skipping. Great club, friendly atmosphere and people.. You'll see the rewards for yourself.

Fantastic experience: Hanuman Gym is well known and has an amazing reputation, who wouldn’t want to be a part of it. If it’s just for fitness or you want to be a Muay Thai fighter or anywhere inbetween, Hanuman is the gym for you. Diffirent classes throughout the whole day to suit everyone’s needs and schedules. The atmosphere in the gym is great, it would be hard for it not to be considering the upbeat personalities of the coaches and members, who all quickly become good friends and a 2nd family. If your interested in Muay Thai or are even just curious to see what the gym is like, I highly recommend coming in for a class, the first one is free! I guarantee after that class you’ll be back for more.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for old school authentic Muay Thai training with highly qualified coaches , then this is the place to be. There is classes for all levels so no matter if your beginner or a professional there will be something for you! I have been training here on and off since 2013 and my children attend regular classes here. You learn many new life skills here such as self defence , building of your confidence and building of your mental and physicals strength. All of the coaches have a motivational approach to learning and even during these tough times they are posting online classes most days of the week at 6pm. I highly recommend this club!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place to learn and practice all levels of Thai Boxing! All the coaches are great and the place has a real community feel. After a few weeks of going you'll never want to stop!

Fantastic experience: Hanuman is where is started in my early years and without a doubt one of the best places to learn Muay Thai. Of all the gyms i have trained at this is where I personally learnt the most technically with world class coaches who would also acquire more knowledge from other top level people to pass onto the Hanuman students. Sad that i was unable to carry on my journey as a fighter there but amazing to see how much the gym has grown in the last few years. Well done Wojtek and Roan!

Fantastic experience: I'd 100% recommend this gym. They cater to everyone, whether you're just trying to get fit, have some fun or looking to learn Muay Thai seriously and compete. There's a real, genuine family-like atmosphere in the gym too, and you'll end up making lots of mates there. Both the coaches compete too + have spent lots of time in Thailand so they know what they're talking about!

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: Kids classes are fantastic. Can't recommend highly enough. There is such a variety of exercises, fitness, techniques, pads and sparrings. Children learn proper techniques and do sparrings under supervision wearing protective gear. Great warm ups and workout for the whole hour. My kids love attending those classes. They are always properly sweat. It is sometimes not easy for young people to stay focused for the whole hour hence coaches often include some games and competitions at the end of the class. If your child is really good at Muay Thai and enjoys sparring there is an opportunity to take part in the interclub sparrings and other competitions if they wish to. Coaches put a big impact on respect and discipline which is very important for young people to learn. Coaches have a great respect for the kids too and they treat them like proper members of the Hanuman Club!

Fantastic experience: Trenuje w tym miejscu od dwoch miesiecy i jestem pod wrazeniem profesjonalizmu i podejscia trenerow. Malo tego osoby bardziej doswiadczone dziela sie swoja widza i pomagaja ja zdobywac. Dziekuje Hanuman Thai Boxing.

Fantastic experience: Great Muay Thai club; true to it's art and tradition ! No matter how old, young, experienced or new you are, the coaches always welcome you and support you from the moment you step inside. From, basics, through pad work and sparring, you get to learn and develop yourself in the sport. Friendly and professional are the coaches; challenging are the sessions. For me it's the best Thai Boxing club in Scotland.

Fantastic experience: The best gym ever! Very professional and friendly team, lots of classes to choose from. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for everyone who wants to try Muay Thai. Friendly atmosphere and very flexible timetabling!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Hanuman for around 6 months and it is one of the best martial arts gyms I have ever used. Wojtek and Roan are supportive of every member of the gym and we are all encouraged to bring our best. They have a wealth of experience and they have really helped me striking improve in a relatively short period of time. I gave attended a lot of the strength and conditioning classes and I'm able to do things that I couldn't do six months ago. Going to Hanuman has been very good for me both physically and mentally and I can see myself going to training there for a long time.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional coaches, real club atmosphere, no egos, everyone helping each other to get better. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: For anyone interested in Traditional Muay Thai, look no further! I cannot recommend this gym high enough. I've been training here for about 4-5 months now and having a blast. There is a great mixture of people and a very friendly atmosphere. The trainers are very supportive, have great credentials and fighting record. Drop in to any of the classes and the guys there will be happy to give you any information you need. Hope to see you at the gym!

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Hanuman for the past six months and I am having a blast! The atmosphere at the gym is very friendly and welcoming for beginners. Trainers are very experienced and pay a lot of attention to safety. No two trainings are identical, so there is no place for boredom. Some reviewers have complained about the quality of available equipment and classes getting crowded. Indeed, gloves and shin guards available at the gym have seen better days, but that is not much of a problem in my opinion. Once you commit to training you will want to get your own ones, no matter how good are the ones provided at the gym. All the other equipment - bags, pads, belts, etc. - is in good condition. As for too crowded classes that indeed can happen but luckily not too often. During my six months of training it only happened twice that the class was so crowded that I had problems practising the techniques, so I wouldn't complain about it too much.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for all levels. Really welcoming to beginners as well as great sparring partners for more advanced. Really experienced coaches who are committed to making your better (well, trying...) Made some good friends in the process. couldn't recommend enough. Get yourself down!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to hanuman for 6 months. The brotherhood, and sisterhood are awesome.from very beginner to absolute machines. The instructors are amazing, experienced, skillful, motivating, fun and they know how to meet their clients need so they can be strict if need be. The last thing is, they offer a broad range of classes, so there is always a chance to go even with a busy schedule. I would be there all day every day if I could ❤️❤️ big fan!

Fantastic experience: Hanuman is 1st class. Great fitness, atmosphere and variety of classes. The coaches have mastered the art of Muay Thai, making it suitable for fighters of all experience. Thanks to Wojtech, Roan, Craig and Joe. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic experience: I started training at Hanuman Thai boxing in Edinburgh around 6 months ago. I love the buzz around the gym, there is such a mixture of absolute beginners and seasoned pros/champion fighters. Everyone is on the same path, to improve their abilities in the art of Muy Thai. I know my skills have improved greatly since training here at the classes and getting a few 1-1sessions. the impression I get is that everyone who trains here wants everyone who trains here to be the best , so the advice and encouragement doesn't ever stop. Voytek ,Roan and the rest of the training staff very clearly love what they do , any time I've pitched up early they are at the gym doing a bit themselves. All the equipment is great, there are even some gloves and shinpads available to borrow if you don't have your own.. however I would advise purchasing your own ones after first few classes There are different gym packaged available for memberships depending on when you are gonna train... there is early bird training sessions at 6.30 am I believe.... never been ...too early for me!! For current timetable of classes going on check out the Facebook page they have!

Fantastic experience: Filled with incredibly knowledgeable and patient professionals of their craft and with an abundance of different classes to suit all ability types, Hanuman Thai Boxing gym is certainly one of the best Gym's in the country. Since my time joining this gym I have gotten fitter, happier and have really began to understand the discipline of Muay Thai and gained a great deal of respect for the sport. I was apprehensive about joining my first Martial Arts gym and didin't know what to expect but very quickly felt comfortable due to the professional level of coaching here. Roan and Wojtek, the owners made me feel very welcome and I'm honoured to get to train at such a brilliant facility.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Edinburgh. Knowledgable coaches who take a genuine interest in your development. No ego's allowed, with everyone helping each other and seasoned fighters taking the time to help bring on those learning the sport. A fantastic place to come and learn all aspects of Mauy Thai in a relaxed and welcoming enviroment.

Fantastic experience: Excellent thai boxing gym with top class equipment. Great classes that cater to all levels, will struggle to find better more helpful coaches anywhere.

Fantastic experience: I started with a bootcamp last year and after a further 2 bootcamps (and many PTs with Joe) I can honestly say that training at Hanuman has given me my life back!. A friendly welcoming and fun atmosphere yet hardworking at the same time with both male and female members - just get down there and try it!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with fantastic coaches. Everyone very friendly and welcoming as well. Great for keeping fit or to compete. can’t recommend highly enough

Fantastic experience: Best gym there is to learn Thai boxing! Great atmosphere and always well equipped. The trainers are both highly talented and committed. They will always push your limits to new levels and won’t find anyone else with as much dedication as those at Hanuman.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this gym. The boxing training is 1st class & all the coaches are very experienced & take the time to explain everything. Very friendly.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place really dedicated coaches, I've started a little while ago being an absolute beginner and really enjoyed it. Great way to get fit and or learn Muay Thai or Boxing skills, definitely recommend giving it a go.

Fantastic experience: Hanuman is without doubt the best gym in Edinburgh, from the people to the level of training and knowledge you receive. Don't think about it just go and see for yourself.

Fantastic experience: I was made to feel very welcome from the minute I walked in the door, classes were busy but the coaches made sure you were looked after and answered any questions you had. I didn't have my own equipment to start with so I was allowed to borrow gloves and shin guards for as long as I needed! (Not sure there are many other gyms who do this!) The gym also has gear to purchase on site at good prices so was able to get my own :) Wouldn't go anywhere else now!

Negative experience: I was genuinely excited to try out the beginners classes here after seeing the reviews. The gym looked well equipped too. I've never tried anything like this before, so I tried to do what others were doing and I took off my shoes and stood to the side of the hall waiting for class to start. I left after 10 minutes of class starting because I was just left standing there whilst everyone else partnered up and started punching etc - not a single person/instructor approached or acknowledged me at all. Left seriously disappointed.

Positive experience: Very knowledgable and helpful coaches, which is the most important aspect of such gyms. You should expect to get valuable knowledge training here. The culture is great, with people interested in learning and improving. The gym itself is also very good, with lots of space and equipment. On the downsides, the gym gets a bit busy some days, which means not enough space to even do the basics. Some equipment needs replacement as they are in a pretty bad condition and you could easily be the lucky one to pick them up when the place is crowded. I would also like to mention a hygnene issue I have encountered. Although the gym itself is kept clean, they have a strict policy for you not being able to leave anything behind when you leave. That means that you are not allowed to keep at the gym a pair of sandals to use when you visit the bathroom, which personally puts me off from a hygiene perspective. Overall I would recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I come form Thailand and my English not well but The teacher help me too much and he have very good skill for Thai boxing, So I'm really happy to learn here.

Fantastic experience: Love it. Started it last week. Very professional trainers. Great techniques and powerful exercises. This gym pushes my limits on an enjoyable way. Great place to get fit

Fantastic experience: They're just ahhhmazing!!!!!
