Is Muay Thai expensive? Your first year in the UK, from named gyms' own prices
It depends on the gym: at the named UK gyms we read on 27 Oct 2026, a class runs from £5 (Walkden Thai Boxing Club) to £12 (Athena, Manchester, Monday padwork) and a month from £40 (Camp 313, two sessions a week) to £80 (The Griphouse); 12 months at 8 Limbs' £60 is £720 plus kit.
Every price is one named gym's own published figure, with the date we read it. You pay the gym directly. Muay Thai Atlas never takes deposits or payments.

Each row is one gym on one day, not a national figure. Of the 670 UK gyms on Atlas (read 27 Oct 2026), only some print a price online: ask before you go.
A year of classes, worked out
Arithmetic on one gym's printed price per row. It assumes the price doesn't change all year. Ask about joining fees and contracts.
| Plan | Sum | Year 1 |
|---|---|---|
| Walkden, 2 classes a week for 52 weeks, plus membership | £5 × 104 + £12 | £532 |
| Camp 313, £40 a month | £40 × 12 | £480 |
| 8 Limbs, £60 a month | £60 × 12 | £720 |
| The Griphouse, £80 a month | £80 × 12 | £960 |
Kit, bought once
| Item | Price | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| RDX Aura Plus T-17 gloves + RDX 4.5 m wraps | £58.98 (£39.99 + £18.99) | Atlas catalogue, 8 Oct 2026 (gloves re-checked on RDX's UK site 23 Oct 2026) |

First interclub
Entry is through your coach and the host sets the fee. We have no host's published fee yet, so we don't print one. See interclub to first fight.
Things we didn't count
Licences, club insurance and joining fees vary by gym. We didn't survey them, so we don't invent them. Ask.
Ways to pay less
- Go to the trial class first.
- Borrow gloves if the gym offers.
- Buy your own wraps early.
- Pick a gym you'll actually get to every week.
