8 Limbs Academy

This is such a cool gym. Is this the most diverse gym in the country? Just feels like everyone is welcomed with Respect. There's a sense of community, there are classes that push you, and you will learn and grow so much so quickly. Join this gym! What are you waiting for?

8 Limbs Academy is a West Philly institution. It is an exceptional gym that offers a structured program suitable for all levels. The owners and Coaches, Charlie and Kate, have cultivated a welcoming, inclusive environment and diverse community where everyone—from beginners to seasoned fighters — have a place. And they are assisted by an able and committed team of coaches. The sessions are rigorous, as challenging as you want them to be, and always enjoyable. Coach Kate and Charlie have succeeded in establishing a serious but also very friendly gym, and everyone here is very respectful and considerate of each other.

8 Limbs is an incredible gym. All of the coaches are extremely supportive and knowledgeable. I could not recommend this gym more! Sad to be leaving West Philly and the gym, but truly for any level this is a great gym!

I joined this gym in Jan 2024 and love that the group is so diverse and welcoming! You get coaching throughout the sessions you attend and they have good schedules that work for most. Plus they are so active in the fight community so no shortage of events to attend. This our group photo passing the levels test from Fundamentals to Level 1 :)

If you're looking for a welcoming and high-energy gym, it is the place to be! The staff and members are incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home from day one. The cardio workouts are intense and rewarding, perfect for anyone who wants to keep in shape. Highly recommend this gym for both fitness and community!
