I’ve been training muay thai for years in the northeast and had a difficult time finding a gym in Miami that had the right combination of supportive culture, relaxed atmosphere, and good training so I was grateful to have come across VCS. The owners definitely care about their gym and members and it's obvious that they are constantly working to foster a sense of community as well as deliver suberb muay thai training that outshines other MT gyms I've visited in the area. I look forward to continue my training here and can only see this gym grow in various ways. The future is bright here and if you want a solid training regimen definitely take them up on their free trial class.

As a beginner to the sport, the instructors consistently go the extra mile to help me progress and build my skills.

I'm thrilled to have become a part of this community and would highly recommend this gym to both newcomers and experienced fighters. It's a knockout choice!

EDIT: It's been ~2 years since Vice opened. I'm now a capable fighter, integrated into an incredible community and I love Muay Thai more than ever. First day is free, come by!

“Great space, great coaches who've trained for many years and still actively fight. The space is clean, it's a great vibe, and there's a nice mix of skill levels. A bonus for me as a female, is there's a great mix of guys and gals. It's fun to train with coaches that are passionate about what they do while still having fun doing it!”
