Kory C
"Brand new amazing Muay Thai gym in Scarborough. Absolutely love it! Doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or advanced, the coaches/instructors are great with all levels of experience and are able to share their vast knowledge of Muay Thai. Without a doubt I highly recommend!!!!"
Conor OHagan
"I've had a fantastic experience as a beginner. My coach has been very patient and helpful. Watching some of the other classes, I can say it seems like an excellent place even if you are not a beginner. I look forward to training here for a long time."
Andy Nichols
"The atmosphere is very welcoming and takes a lot of the trepidation out of what is an intimidating process. For me, grappling was a completely foreign experience and to start at 40 years of age gave me some hesitation, but I've been coming to Clinch for 7 years now and I've never questioned my decision. The coaches are great. They're patient and knowledgeable and very safety-conscious. The other folks training there have been awesome too and I've made some great friends. I own my own business and have a busy family life and the flexibility Clinch's schedule offers me is great. I can do lunch time classes or evening classes or just pop in for open mat. Luke runs a really nice program and I can't recommend Clinch enough."
Matt Ayuen
"The coaching staff here is world class, the energy of the gym, cleanliness and how welcoming everyone was. Felt like home. I cannot recommend training here enough!!"
