Forty-four of 130 London gyms are scored on published facts, on the rankings page read 10 Oct 2026. LionHeart and Muay Thai Masters Academy were both at 95 out of 100. The score is not a coaching grade, and no gym paid for its place.
Key facts:
- 44 scored, 130 listed. Five of nine facts required before a gym is ranked.
- Printed scores that day: LionHeart 95, MTMA Haringey 95, Diesel Stratford 89, Sabaidee 82, Scorpions 80.
- Google ratings do not enter the score. Featured slots do not reorder it.
- Prices we will repeat are the ones already dated on the gym sites, not every figure on the long list.
Illustrative picture
The top of the list we actually read
| Place that day | Gym | Score | Price we will stand behind |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | LionHeart, Hammersmith and Fulham | 95 | Adult drop-in £15 to £20, gym site, 2 Oct 2026 |
| 2 | Muay Thai Masters Academy, Haringey | 95 | The rankings page showed a kids or junior fee of £35, dated 28 Sep 2026. That is not an adult drop-in |
| 3 | Diesel Gym, Stratford | 89 | Monthly membership £110, gym site, 28 Sep 2026 |
| 4 | Sabaidee, Hackney | 82 | Drop-in £20, gym site, 28 Sep 2026 |
| 5 | Scorpions, Bromley | 80 | Drop-in £15, gym site, 28 Sep 2026 |
The page continues to 44. Copying every row, including kids' prices that look like adult prices if you skim, is how a guide misleads. Use the live list for the rest, and use this table for the five we are willing to discuss with a date. A kids' fee is a kids' fee.
What 95 means
Dedicated Muay Thai is 25 points. A stated fight team is 15. A timetable, beginners, kids and an affiliation are 10 each. Women-only and a trial are 5 each. Years operating are at most 10. The total is 100. LionHeart's 95 means almost all of those boxes were publicly stated, not that we watched a class and scored the coach. MTMA's 95 is the same kind of number. Alphabetically, the method breaks ties. We are not claiming a private rematch between the two gyms.
Diesel at £110 a month and Sabaidee at £20 a drop-in are different units. No London monthly or drop-in median is published while the price-sample method is checked by hand. The ranking does not sort by price. A cheap gym with a thin website can rank below a dearer gym with a full one. If you care about the fee, read the fee. If you care about the published facts, read the score. They answer different questions.
57 of 130 London listings state beginner classes. That count is the beginners facet, not the rankings page. Women-only is stated by 35 of the 130 London listings.

Questions
How many London gyms are ranked?
44 gyms are scored on the London rankings page, read 10 Oct 2026, out of 130 listings on the city page. A gym is ranked when at least five of the nine published facts can be checked. The other listings stay in the directory. Missing facts score zero. They are not a verdict that the gym is bad. Nobody paid for a place in the 44.
Who is first?
On the page we read, LionHeart Muay Thai Academy in Hammersmith and Fulham and Muay Thai Masters Academy in Haringey were both on 95 out of 100. Diesel Gym in Stratford was on 89. Sabaidee in Hackney was on 82. Scorpions in Bromley was on 80. Ties in the method break alphabetically. A shared 95 is not a photo finish we adjudicated. It is two high completeness scores.
Do Google stars decide it?
No. The methodology says Google ratings are read from the public listing where a profile shows them, and they do not feed the score. We are not reprinting star counts here. A gym with many reviews can sit below a gym with none if the second gym has published more of the nine facts. That is the rule, and it is on purpose.
What are the nine criteria?
Dedicated Muay Thai 25, fight team 15, public timetable 10, beginners 10, kids 10, affiliation 10, women-only 5, a trial 5, and years operating up to 10. Featured placements are labelled and sit outside the order. The full sentences are on the methodology page. This London note repeats them so the word best, in the search, is tied to a table rather than to a mood.
