SSMT is by far the best gym I've trained at. Coach Kar and Coach Barry are both great blokes and have an amazing knowledge of Muay Thai. The people that train there are so humble, always willing to help and all round great people. I wouldn't dream of training under anybody else and this place is becoming my second home.

I have trained in many gyms in many countries from Europe, USA, South America to the Asia Pacific region, and I am delighted to confirm:

This gym rates among the best in the world! Their terms and conditions are clear and simple to understand and the owners work very hard to be flexible to work in with their client’s schedules....

The training I have received during the past (almost) one year has been world class. I feel fitter & healthier than I have felt for some time. The programs offered are not just about training and techniques,... read more but the well being of the whole person...they care about your physical, emotional and mental health.

I would encourage everyone to take up their offer of a “Free Trial” and experience the professional and friendly expertise in physical fitness. read less

Great gym to learn authentic Muay Thai technique from two of the best Coaches you could ask for!! I initially joined to loose some weight but found myself quickly becoming obsessed with the healthy lifestyle Muay Thai promotes as well as the mental and physical challenges it can offer you. I have since personally lost over 20Kgs in just over a year and I still look forward to every training!!

Best place to be! Choosing Southside is one of the best decisions I’ve made. Training at SSMT has helped me get in shape but most importantly has made me a stronger person mentally and emotionally and I will be forever grateful for that, and the people I’ve met in the process.

I've been training at Southside for over 5 years now and started fighting just over 2 year ago already racking up 13 fights.

Southside is a genuine Muay Thai gym and is perfectly catered for beginners and families right through to professional fighters.

I would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to improve their fitness while learning the art of eight limbs.

IT WILL IMPROVE YOUR LIFE!!!

Best gym in Adealide for Muay Thai, self defence and fitness. Trainers are second to none and genuinely care about all their members at each and every stage of their training. Its a family gym, there is a a lot of respect here. I have personally benefited from all my training and can apply it in my job environment being in the Military as we train in combatives also. My overall fitness has soared too. Membership is very reasonable too for all that you can do in a week, as many classes as you like. Even in group classes you... read more still get some one on one time to ensure you have good technique and form. Trainers are very well adversed in the art of Muay Thai and will do all that they can to support your journey. Highly recommend giving SSMT a go. read less

I've been a member of the Southside family for more than 6 years now. I couldn't speak more highly of the coaches and facilities. Given that training at Southside has had such a positive impact on my physical health and wellbeing I would recommend to anyone to give it a try. However, as a school teacher I have to admit that learning martial arts is the FIRST thing I suggest to parents and families of children who are struggling within realms of education. Respect, concentration, confidence, assertiveness and self-regulation are just a few benefits your child will experience at Southside.... read more Baz, Kar and the team of coaches go to great lengths to ensure that every person can learn at their own pace and skill level regardless of age or experience. What has impressed upon me the most during my time at Southside is how they treat their female members. In a male dominated sport such as Muay Thai the trainers and environment can make or break you but the support and RESPECT shown to the women at Southside is overwhelmingly positive and the proof is in the impressive talents and strength of the female members and girls on the fight team at the club. My 10 yr old daughter attends on a regular basis and I am moved by the amount of role models she has at the club. An amazing place to be...give it a try! read less

I have only been training at this club since November 2017 and it has been amazing. The coaches Barry Saunders and Kar Wong are the best coaches I have ever trained with, it is so very clear that they both have years of knowledge and experience as athletes, fighters, as teachers and trainers. The integrity and respect the coaches have for their students shows in their fighters. It is also pretty clear when you walk into the club and see the many trophies and belts both past a... nd present hanging up with pride that these guys know how train... read more and run a Muay Thai club. The coaches care so much about their students making sure that we are all learning in a positive and safe environment, which is why they have had and continue to have so much success with their fighters and why this club appeals to like-minded, positive people who have and will continue to train here for many years into the future.

Kar & Barry have been very supportive and welcoming. I have struggled with injuries for years & I truly feel this is where I will finally strengthen my body and heal. My fitness levels are up and I’m totally hooked! Thanks to everyone at the club. So glad I joined!!!

I have been training at Southside Muay Thai for 10 years and fighting for three years. In that time Baz & Kar gave assisted me in obtaining a South Australian State Title and a Silver Medal at the Muay Thai National Championships in the Gold Coast. Their experience, wealth of knowledge and support is next to none. I wouldn't train anywhere else simply for that matter. As fighters our best interests are always put first and forward, which is so important in this sport. The gym culture is fantastic, as fighters we help support our coaches with teaching new students,... read more we are forever growing and learning in a safe space and I would never step foot in any other place. read less

Not just throwing this 5 star rating around willy nilly! Very much deserved 5 stars to Coach Barry and Coach Karr... if I could give them 6 stars I would. The atmosphere in this gym is addictive, the trainers, fighters and students are all very welcoming. The coaches and fighters set the bar high when it comes to technique and fitness. I miss this place so much!

NOT JUST A GYM, A FAMILY !!!

When I joined Southside Muay Thai, the most notable quality that this gym possesses that others do not, is that they are not just a professional martial arts gym but also a family based business. At Southside, they treat each and every client with the same kind, caring, honest and accepting attitude. Kar & Barry give 100% to their clients every single session. During training, they take time to assess who may need extra help in the room. They cater to each individuals needs and help everyone improve at their own pace. They... read more are always patient if someone is struggling but also help each client to strive to achieve new goals. One of the goals Kar set for me this year was to run a half marathon (21km) not only did he set me this challenge but he also wrote a 3 week intensive training program (at no charge) to help me get the best result possible. Kar & Barry care about their clients! SSMT is not just a great Gym, but a friendly, safe environment for people to learn, grow and form great friendships where we respect, help, and look out for each other.

I love the Southside Muay Thai family and I am positive you will too. If you are looking to learn a martial art, there is no greater place to do so in Adelaide, in my opinion. read less

I've been training here for around 18 months now and I wouldn't have it any other way. The trainers are amazing, friendly, motivated, determined and always there to help you with whatever you need (whether it be Muay Thai related or not) I look up to Baz and Kar so much and am so thankful for all the time, effort and help that they put into every member and every session!! I highly recommend this gym to everyone and anyone looking to get fit, stay fit or to fight! I have made some great friends here and no one has... read more an ego (which is rare for a gym lol) Give it a go, you won't regret it..... read less
