I’ve been practicing Muay Thai for over 5 years, this I have to say is the worst studio I’ve been to. The services they provided was not professional at all. When you booked the class online, it’s all under the name of the same instructor, however sometimes the classes were only conducted by the assistant coach who was not up to the standard. I bought my package in feb and they extended it for extra 3 months due to circuit breaker. However, I was only notified that my package would be expiring the day after and I could only use the remaining classes if I renew my package. So I have negotiated with them to extend my package for an extra 2 weeks. Initially they agreed but came back to me after one week saying they have changed their mind. I have to either pay for my classes or renew the package in order to attend the class. The owner of the studio did not value the support and loyalty of the members under this tough situation, whereas they only pushed for members to buy new package and make money. Worst of all, they don’t even honor their words and flip-flopped on their offer. Please DO consider twice and ask for detailed T&C before you decide to join this studio.

I have trained in many MMA gyms in Singapore and can honestly say EQ is the best. Their personal approach to every student, dedication and passion for teaching and amazing attitude makes this gym truly stand-out in MMA scene of Singapore. And their brand new renovation of the whole gym (mats, shower and change rooms, free towel service) contributes to making this gym one stop place for all martial arts enthusiasts and practioners!

Similar to other complaints, it’s aggravating how little time they give to use up your allotted classes. I booked my boy there but we ended up wasting so many classes or having to pull him out in heavy holiday periods to avoid wasting classes. The outcome is that he goes to rarely now because their structure is unworkable. While I think the instructors are good, the person running the shop has no business sense at all.

Caring, encouraging, and fun team of coaches and staff. My son has been going there for 1.5 years, and he loves it. We (parents) really like and trust the coaches as they do not show toxic masculinity that we often see with other gyms when my son participates in competitions. The group of kids is also lovely and friendly to each other (reflection of the atmosphere of the gym).

Haha hello. I read a review just posted about equilibrium mma and I wanted to share some feedback about the muay thai classes too. I want to stay anonymous because I still have a membership and I paiseh hahahaha. Honestly I am doubtful about continuing my membership. Like the other review said the Muay Thai classes are very different from the trial class. I thought the trial class was good and it was worth the steep price point however the classes have become so packed and the schedule changes have made them so inconvenient. My trial class was very good where the head thai coach held pads for me for multiple rounds. I was observing the muay thai class going on in the back and at the time it was not very crowded (Maybe 10 people). After signing up I found out that we do not get much padwork unlike other gyms. The classes were also very packed and the gym recently made a schedule change that meant I count not train two classes back to back on any day unless I qualify for the sparring. The saving grace of the gym are the coaches. The head coach Ajarn is very good, the assistant coaches Leo, Micheal, Alex and a female coach whos name I'm unsure of are also very capable the coaches make the classes bearable. Other than the padwork, the rest of the class could be easily replicated elsewhere. Compared to other gyms, I believe the coaches I named above are way above average the market standard when it comes to their padholding skills and customer service while other coaches are around average . However, the rest of the class is usually very disappointing where members share bags, do boring drills without much supervision and correction. In the unlikely case the classes are not packed, the drills and bagwork become much more meaningful where coaches come and teach you different techniques and how to set them up properly. I remember a pleasant interaction with the thai Coach Laem teaching me many ways to counter a technique. There was also a time where coach Micheal and the female coach showed me various ways to set up another technique which will prepare me for sparring. The supervised drills are a huge improvement to the gym. The facilities are also subpar there is a sandbag that is extremely hard and I did not know before I kicked it. The new schedule change was by far the worst decision that turns me away from the gym. This increased the class size to a whopping 20 people, sometimes even more! This makes the understaffed gym unable to cope which shortens the padwork even further and make more room for the unsupervised boring drills and padwork. In the future although the good coaches I would be inclined to change gyms for a overall better and cheaper experience unless major changes take place. I gave this one star due to the gym not meeting my expectations for such a high price point and how the gym makes bad changes without receiving the feedback of members.
