Chicago Thai Boxing Academy

Amazing gym and amazing staff. Everyone was super welcoming from the onset, they are friendly to beginners and pros, with a variety of classes led by instructors who care about your learning and tailor your class experience to your level. I truly felt they have become a second family in town and recommend anyone to try out this gym for purest Muay Thai training.

I'm very happy here! As a beginner, the trainers have given me extra help even in a group setting. My experience so far is that, if you let them know about what's going on with you, they'll work with you. I'd wanted to learn about Thai boxing for years, and I was very happy to find CTBA from a simple web search. I read info on their website and then had a look at reviews on Google and elsewhere. I was very happy to sign up for a free initial class, no issues at all. I thought I would go home and think about it (joining), but I knew right away that I'd found a good fit. I really like the trainers. I like their focus on people finding their own rhythm. They also know how to motivate while keeping things light. Finally, JJ (owner) and his front desk staff set a very welcoming tone. They explained the terms and conditions (which I knew from reading their website), and they answered all my questions honestly. Looking forward to a great summer with the team!

Hands down great time and quality instructors! My work brings me around a lot of different cities- so finding quality locations to train is hard to come by. Immediately when walking in I was greeted and welcomed by friendly staff. I see plenty of people of all shapes and sizes....love it. The atmosphere is open and friendly. The gym itself is big and clean. I loved their front desk area and pro shop. The instruction during classes were awesome! I am always willing to learn new tips and tricks to make my game better - and man, the training itself is superb - the classes are superb. I love the sweat I get from their classes. I cannot go anywhere else when I'm in Chicago --- it's CTBA for me.

Was only able to go for a month for personal reasons, but awesome gym and staff. Very organized and its very easy to email erica and get a quick response. Training is very good.

I had a trial class and it was great. Everyone was nice and welcoming, they have shinguards and gloves to borrow, over all pleasant experience :)
