Covid hit, throughout this pandemic my family had lost four people including my father. On top of all that I struggled with self image issues and anger/ insecurity issues, coach kosta truly believed I needed to be there. Overall I must say the first day was the last time I'd attend a normal gym primarily. I take the adult Muay Thai classes and I'll say right now, all those years of hurt, sadness, and anger were all gone with the first punch, and it makes you want to come back again and again! The whole coaching staff is absolutely amazing as well as the fighters they have. Everyone wants you to be a better you!! I love coming here and look forward to someday competing with/for them. All in all, this place saved me. And I'll forever be grateful for coach Kosta, Scott & Ibere read more

I highly recommend Team Link Muay Thai for a multitude of reasons. The professionalism and expertise from the humble coach's will have you walking out the door confident.

Ibere provides knowledge from the teachings of Thailand, enforcing proper form along the way. I haven't felt this feeling since I stopped dancing. No matter what kind of day you have, come to class and leave it on the floor. Thank you to Ibere and the rest of the coaches/ teammates at Team link. Try out Muay Thai 101 on weeknights Monday-Thurs at 7:30 ( 13 yr old & up ) Wai Kru, Muay Thai! read more

First of all, the training is incredible. It's physically demanding no matter what your age or skill level. The coaches meet you where you are whether you are an absolute beginner or have some level of experience prior to joining. They want to see each individual get better class-by-class. Secondly, the aura in the gym is a welcoming, family-like feel. You can sense the camaraderie among the staff and the athletes very early into training. You are greeted with smiles and hugs. After a tough sparring session, you'll be getting daps and tips for next round. Again, everyone wants to see you get better. Just an awesome place to train! read more

Been going about 4 months now and recommend it to everyone. Fantastic coaches and awesome people!

Team Link Muay Thai, my new home! Having come from another Muay Thai facility, I was hesitant to step into a new place, meet new people, and jump into their program. I was greeted with open arms and I could immediately feel the family-like atmosphere which I love. You can sense that the instructors truly want to make you better in all aspects of life, not just Muay Thai. If you are new to Muay Thai, this is a great place to begin your journey as you will receive quality instruction from the coaches from day one. Kids program is awesome as well, they have TONS of younger kids running around and parents can also sit in on the classes. All in all, I could not be happier with Team Link and feel fortunate to be apart of this team! read more

I started in November of 2021 and coach Reis, Kosta, Scott, and Max have been phenomenal in introducing and furthering my development and love for this sport! they have created a truly great environment to learn and have fun while doing so. I have never felt more In shape or confident since starting Muay Thai and I am sad to have to say goodbye after moving away from Mass. Thank you guys for everything and thank you for taking me in to your gym which has produced gold medal fighters! much love, Brendan read more

I've heard of Team Link Worcester for a long time and finally was in the area and gave it a try. They offer Judo, BJJ, Muay Thai, and Boxing and I came in for Muay Thai, Judo, and Boxing since I am not a huge fan of BJJ, in general. The Muay Thai instructor was very knowledgeable and pay good attentions to all the students and ensure they are doing the combo correctly. The senior students were there to help as well. Judo was world class, and taught by 3 black belts. Everyone was very strong with really good technique. Boxing was taught by a former GG and he was very knowledgeable with his skills. My friend who had no prior experience took the class and felt everyone was there to help and didn't try to bully him. The one common theme I've felt between all the groups is respect. Everyone was very respectful regardless of your skill level and the staffs/teachers were very knowledgeable in their fields. I will definitely come back again. read more

I've always been pretty active (mountain biking, boot camps, obstacle courses, et cetera) and I had taken some Karate when I was younger, but I didn't have any Muay Thai or general kick boxing experience at all before coming to Team Link. I searched for Muay Thai around Worcester, and Team Link's yelp page popped up. I read the reviews, then did a little more research, and eventually booked a trial class. I was super nervous, expecting to walk into a basement filled with crazy Muay Thai fighters that were going to rip me to shreds! It was quite the opposite, the manager Jade is quite possibly one of the friendliest people you'll ever meet, and she walked me through the gym and how the program worked. Soon after I went and joined a class with coach Ibere Reis. Again super nice, and non-judgmental. I stretched and warmed up with everyone (I forgot how much I hate jumping rope). When everyone else started shadow boxing/bag workouts, Ibere taught me some of the basics (stance, positions, movements). Afterwards, I rejoined the team for a series of pushups, situps, and all kinds of cardio/bodyweight work. By the time I left, I was a sweaty mess, and had signed up to be a member. This is a great spot to train, whether you are a complete beginner like me, or one of the many pro-fighters that were training there, you'll love the family/community atmosphere. Give it a try! read more

Very pleased. I joined Team Link Muay Thai 2 months ago and have loved it ever since I walked in the door. I had a little experience here and there prior, but within a week at Link, I had made more progress than I had ever expected, and now, several months in, I find it hard to believe that I will ever find another gym that can live up to Team Link's caliber of training and excellence. The coaches really work hard to help their students reach and exceed their potential. They know every student by name and are very honest, and trustworthy people. Hell, most of us even have the coaches cell phone numbers. They are very easy-going guys and easy to talk to about anything. In training, they will not pretend you are doing something right just to make their jobs easy - they push you hard and work harder themselves to make you the best you can be. Both have trained and fought for basically forever and are down right incredible fighters/coaches and are very dedicated to their students. Their coaching styles compliment each other very well and makes for a great training environment. Students have a great attitude about training and we all work to help each other out and train hard as a team. We really are a family. Training together, going out together, watching fights together, supporting each other - it's good feelings all around. Even on sparring nights, there is nothing but respect and kindness going around with high-fives and pats on the back after every single round. Everyone in the world is tight on cash it seems, but you get what you pay for and what I get at Team Link is worth so much more than anything that could come out of my wallet. Encouragement, dedication, comradery, hard work, and a team that I am really proud to be a part of. Did I mention I lost a ton of weight already? Yea. It's pretty awesome. I don't know what happened to the person who wrote the negative review, but they clearly either weren't awake during the class and had a bad dream, or weren't actually there. Yes, space is tight, but they are expanding in the next month or so, and space is tight because of how many people love Team Link and everything they have to offer their students. And the money problems? That person is trying to make trouble because that stuff never happens. They are a very well put together business and their manager is on the ball all the time. read more

The kids classes are amazing! The teachers are so friendly and teach a great class. They learn a lot and have fun! My son has a lot of energy and this helps! They have taught him structure and discipline. I am so happy we signed him up for the year I know he will continue after! We definitely feel apart of the family:) read more

Very disappointed with team link. This is a gym that is more interested in your wallet than in your training, so beware - you will be charged extra tuition, be asked to make cash 'off the books' payments, and constantly begged to pay even more to 'fundraise' for the gym. Furthermore, previous payments tend to 'dissapear' from their records all together. (IRS take note) Overall this is a very poorly organized and executed business. Facilities are nice, although there never seems to be enough room for the whole class, often causing someone to get pushed off to the sides. I would not recommend this gym to anyone, if your in the Worcester area there are many other options that are likely more dedicated to their students. read more

When I first showed up I wasn't too sure what to expect, I was and still am an avid martial arts fan so that is what interested me but what I got was so much more. I built great friendships, lost a good amount of weight (26lbs) but more than anything, I gained a second family. The coaches, students are will to help out with anything & make you feel so comfortable as you learn an amazing art. read more

Roughly 6 months in and still loving it - probably in the best shape of my life. Stand by my original review 100%.

When I attended College in Worcester I had the opportunity to train with Team Link after trying out several other gyms in the area. The training staff are highly skilled and are committed to each student regardless of their athleticism or skill level. The students are also friendly and frequently form friendships outside of the gym. As far as the quality of training goes, Team Link Muay Thai is easily one of the best 'Striking' schools in the state, on par with other renowned academies such as Wai Kru and Sidyodtong in Boston. The training covers many areas of health including cardiovascular endurance, drills for improving strength and muscular endurance, and sparring to allow students to test their abilities in a safe and controlled environment. I would recommend this school to anyone. Every person is unique and has their own expectations for what a 'gym' can provide. Link will help you lose weight, build skills for competition (if that's your goal) and most importantly - motivate you to accomplish those goals. read more

I have lived around the country and I can say that Team Link is one of the best that I've attended. The instructors extremely skilled and they actually seem to care about each student's progress. There's a wide range of skill levels, although the classes are pretty challenging. Even the warm up can be difficult, so you have to be ready to get you butt kicked for a while. Most people aren't competing fighters at the gym, but there is definitely a focus on actually using the fighting skills. It's not just a cardio class. You do have to have the proper uniform for both classes and that can get a little pricey. I've done Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Link. The Muay Thai warm up is very challenging. It starts with jump roping, different Muay Thai exercises and stretching. The classes can consist of bag work, partner drills, hitting the bag or pads, and sparring for students who are ready. Both the instructors are super nice, but they push you pretty hard. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is challenging, but luckily the other students are very helpful. After warm ups, we'll learn a technique and drill it with partners. There's a good spread of belt levels, so you can choose which skill level you're willing to roll with. The instructors are black belts and have done very well in competition. Gabriel Gonzaga is actually a down-to-earth guy, and willing to roll with the students. I read another review talking about extra tuition. I've never had any trouble with the billing and haven't heard anything like that from other students, although I can't speak for everyone. The person at the front desk is actually super helpful. Overall, I'd recommend this gym. It's definitely not easy, but you'll be the best version of yourself at the end. Training aspects of MMA has changed my life for the better. You come out feeling more confident, in shape, and with some good friends. read more

TLMT gets everything right. The environment they create for this sort of training couldn't be better, especially if you're coming in without any experience. It's just the right level of intensity, camaraderie, and safety with knowledgeable, supportive instruction from people who are simply great at what they do. Everyone from the owners down to the classmates is friendly, and genuinely supportive of each other's progress. Couldn't be happier to have joined up. If you're considering it, there's really no reason for inhibitions, just try it out - I'm certainly happy I did. read more

I've been part of this gym for about a year and out of my 4 years of practicing Muai Thai, this has been my favorite year of practicing Muai Thai. The participants and coaches are always willing to teach and learn. The training regiment always leaves you exhausted at the end and makes you feel accomplished. Team Link Muai Thai provides a friendly environment that anyone can feel comfortable can come and train, whether you are experienced or new to the martial art. The coaches at this gym are always attentive to your needs and find ways to adapt the exercises to suit your needs. Joining Team Link Muai Thai is not only a great way to get in shape, it also a viable method of self defense. I have sincerely enjoyed the time that I have spent in this gym and I believe that it is one of the best decisions that anyone can make. read more

My 12 year old daughter and I have been training at Team link Muay thai since September of 2015. I love the fact that she and I are able to train in the same class together. Coach Reis and Coach Julian are the best in what they do. Very encouraging and always willing to show you the drill more than once in order for you to get it. The students are all very welcoming and also willing to help out. Just and all around great community. read more

I just joined Team Link Muay Thai a month ago and I have to say that it is the best place to train in New England. I have trained at several places over the last 6 years and I have always felt like the instruction I received was top notch until I went here. Coach Reis has corrected mistakes that all the rest of the coaches I trained with never noticed and now feel more confident in my technique, strength and speed because of it. The best coach, the best team and the best facility around! read more
