Ive been coming here for a year now and I cant say enough positive things. The staff and coaches are great and very knowledgeable. Marissa and Chris are fantastic coaches. The community of people are great too. SKN is perfect for all levels from beginner to advance. Its become a home away from home.

Ive tried several different martial gyms in the area, and the decision to go with SKN was very easy for me. The staff and other members are super friendly. The schedule offers plenty of classes, and the level of instruction is really good. Whether youre training to compete and bring home the belt or just want a fun workout SKN will give you the instruction and motivation for you to thrive

As a beginner I was extremely nervous starting out and not knowing the movements or much about Muay Thai.Marissa was beyond kind and truly walked me through the basics on day one. She made me feel welcomed and seem excited to share her knowledge.The other coaches Ive been able to interact with are kind, welcoming, and really create a relaxed learning environment (but hard working!)If youre just starting out or someone who has experience this is the place you want to be.

SKN Muay Thai is my home away from home. From the coaches to my peers, they challenge you everyday and create a great atmosphere. I recommend this gym for anyone who wants to learn about the art of eight limbs.

I signed up for the intro package for SKN. They were incredibly helpful and communicative throughout the entire process. Jaren was the instructor for my first class and he was helpful and knowledgeable. This experience couldn’t have been better and I am so glad to have signed up!

From day one the owners and staff ahve been great. They have answered every question and explained everything even if Ive asked it three times already. This is a true Muay Thai facility that is linked to the Thai culture. This is not just some studio martial arts school that will hand you belts as long as you hand them a check.

While searching for a good place for Muay Thai in Pittsburgh I stumbled on skn and so happy I did! All of the staff is very friendly and welcoming, whether you are a beginner or experienced they accommodate everyone nicely. I had a little training previously but had a few years break and after a few weeks at skn it already feels like home. The gym is spacious and is always very clean. Equipment is all in excellent shape, bags of all shapes and sizes. If you’re debating if you should try it, you should. My first week was $30 for unlimited classes and they give you free gloves and hand wraps. After that I joined for unlimited classes @ $99 a month which is an awesome deal considering I go an average of 5 days a week.

This place is great. Super welcoming staff, trainers, and students. No egos, no meat-head mentality. A quality place for any person to learn Muay Thai. Whether you want to train to fight, train for fitness, or train just to learn a martial art and self defense, The training here is of the highest level around. The facility is very clean. Co-owner and Head trainer David Reese is a well of knowledge when it comes to Thai boxing and combat sports training. He continues to go and train and learn from stadium level fighters and trainers in Thailand every year. They have a pro shop filled with all of the stuff you need for Muay Thai at affordable prices. This place is a one stop shop for all things Muay Thai!

Ive been training here for almost two months and I love it. SKN and their staff manage to be authentic and welcoming at the same time.This is legit training that will benefit anyone regardless of current fitness level. Everyone works together, there are beginners coming in everyday working right along side more experienced people.Dedication and a good attitude at this place are a must. Creative facial hair is a bonus.

Whether or not you have any athletic background, Sitkiatnin Muay Thai provides an accessible, inclusive, and anxiety-free introduction to the sport of Thai boxing. Jump in from any starting skill level, and instruction from all coaches will be tailored to your starting point to help you pick up the techniques quickly!This gym also has connections to international champions of Muay Thai, and hosts seminars with those experts. These seminars are such a special opportunity to learn from the best!

What a great place!!! My wife and I both attend classes. She goes to the all women’s class that Marisa teaches and loves it!! She wants to buy pads so she can practice at home with me to get better for Marisa 😁. We are going to send our boys there as soon as the kids classes start! They are really patient and great instructors here! And I’ve kept my Apple Watch in for a few classes and I’ve burned between 500-700 calories a class!!

I’ve been coming here for over 2 weeks and I love this place. They have classes everyday, all the staff are all very welcoming! They help you out by letting you use some loaner gear a few times, doesn’t get any better tbh.

I’ve been attending Women’s Classes for about two months. I had hesitations before trying a class because I’m new to Muay Thai but I was welcomed by the staff and I’ve been given nothing but positive coaching and assistance with hand wrapping, gloves, and doing the correct movements every time I come to class. The owners and coaches make this a comfortable learning environment for all skill levels.

I was looking to get back into martial arts for a couple years but whenever I tried a gym I was turned off by the culture. SKN is a safer, more inclusive space where I feel comfortable unleashing the beast. The Womens classes offer great training and a level of comfort and comeraderie unlike any Ive seen at other gyms. All of the trainers are welcoming and helpful. I recommend them highly for anyone who has felt intimidated or turned off by gym culture in the past.

I would absolutely recommend Sitkiatnin Muay Thai.I live near Washington DC. The ironic thing is, my girlfriend and I registered for a 3 hour long seminar at their academy before we realized we had a teammate fighting one of their guys on an upcoming WBC event.We drove up to Pittsburgh the weekend after the fights, and I was pleasantly surprised when we walked in the doors. As soon as I walked in, the delightful scent of Thai linament filled my nose. The experience only got better the further we progressed into the building.Having been driving up to southwestern PA for nearly 10 years to visit my parents and grandma (also living in some hillbilly mountain towns in the area for a while....) I am still shocked to find a legit Thai Boxing academy here!! The owners, fighters, and students have all done a great job in preserving the thai tradition, as opposed to a lot of watered down places Ive seen. Oh, and about our gym and their gym battling it out the weekend before....It was nothing but love once we talked; That is another thing I love about the muay thai community, the camaraderie.Im happy to now know there is a gym I can attend any time I am around the area, and Id definitely recommend Sitkiatnin to anyone else weighing their options.
