9 Spears

Great Muay Thai gym along with sprinkles of other classes (boxing) - all of which are fun and enjoyable for both those who are looking to pick the sport up recreationally and competitively. Would highly recommend Vince, Nana and his team for anyone looking to get their start in Muay Thai!

I have tried many Muay Thai gyms in the neighborhood in the past few weeks, and finally decided to come to 9 Spears. The environment is very clean and has sufficient space for all the students to practice. Instructor Vince and Nana are very responsible and caring for students' needs. They are very patient with beginner with no experiences like me during the first class, and walked me through all the fundamental aspects of Muay Thai. Really appreciate all the supports and friendliness I have received, and definitely will recommend this gym to anyone who is interested in Muay Thai!

Great place to start your Muay Thai journey! Everyone is nice and supporting. Definitely coming back and doing multiple classes. I definitely encourage you to try this place out!

I've been here since Nov.last year and realized I never made a review lool. Vince and Nana created, and continue to create, a positive environment for everyone wanting to learn Muay Thai. They're patient, encouraging, and are genuinely invested in their students success making it a great place for all skill levels, from beginner to seasoned martial artists. The gym is clean and well maintained, and same goes for the equipment. The classes are well structured and will for sure make you sweat. I know it can be intimidating starting a new martial art or at a new gym, but at 9 Spears you'll be greeted with open arms the moment you walk in (open arms not for clinching LOL). Grateful I was able to find this amazing community!:)

I was interested in joining a yoga studio and found 9 Spears during my search for studios in Richmond Hill. When I saw that they were a Muay Thai studio that also hosted yoga classes, I was interested in exploring the kickboxing option as well even though I had no experience with it. My first Thai kickboxing session was excellent! As a newbie, I was worried that I wouldn’t fit in but Nana and Vincent were so welcoming and helped me feel comfortable during my first session. Nana was partnered with me for my first session and she helped guide me through the moves and teach me the proper stance and technique. Muay Thai is such a great workout - I didn’t expect to feel such sore muscles the next day. Steve, who was the instructor during my first session, is very experienced and clear with instructions. He demos each movement and ensures the class understands before we do it ourselves. A huge bonus is that he brings his amazing dog, Solo, to the class and as a dog-lover myself, I was sold immediately on this studio after getting some cuddles and play time with Solo. The yoga sessions hosted by Nana are wonderful and such a great compliment to the kickboxing classes. I’m so happy I found this studio and the exhilarating world of Muay Thai. I’m still a newbie but I know 9 Spears will help me train to be a lean, mean fighting machine!

Been coming for a couple of months now, and Vincent and his Muay Thai classes have helped build up my core strength (and strength overall). He is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. His classes will make every newbie (like myself) go from 0-knowledge to feeling comfortable in no time.

It's really been an amazing experience with my first four classes at 9 Spears. Vincent and Nana are super nice and accommodating with newcomers. I've never learned a martial arts in my life but the 9 Spears team has made it a really challenging and fun time so far. The sessions I've been attending are crazy tough but there's always encouragement for us to get better. I am really enjoying Muay Thai at 9 Spears and I recommend anyone interested to come here and give it a try.

I was looking for Muay Thai training for my son and really recommend this place. Vince and Nana are amazing and my son looks forward each time going to class. Not only are techniques taught but also discipline and the atmosphere is great. I am honored having my son go to this amazing school. Both Vince and Nana answered all my questions and gave me many options to suit our needs.

Vince and Nana are the best! Very friendly and encouraging environment. Great for beginners and those with experience. Amazing workout and you have a lot of fun while you’re at it. After trying the free trial, I couldn’t resist signing up!

I was never a particularly athletic person, but 9 Spears has been an encouraging environment for those who are new, rediscovering, or long-time practitioners of Muay Thai and/or yoga. Sometimes there's a very good dog to encourage you, too! Love it here!

Super friendly gym with great instructors and attendees that make you feel welcome. Regardless of your level of Muay Thai experience or if you are there just for the workout, Vince will do his best to cater the class to all.

I took the partner pad class for adults and teens and the class was great I highly recommend the coaches were very kind and supportive + cute well behaved dog.

This place is really good, I've had a few classes there so far and they really encourage me to be better and try harder. The instructors are amazing and will happily help you anytime. I can't wait to have more sessions.

Amazing place to train! Every class is challenging and rewarding. Instructions are clear and feedback from instructor (s) is always helpful. Very welcoming atmosphere and everyone is friendly.

I've been a member for a few months now. As someone in their 40s who played a lot of sports, the classes have elevated my fitness level to new heights. If you're looking for high level instruction, from life-long martial artists in a friendly and clean environment 9 Spears Muay Thai is the place to be!

I highly recommend 9 Spears Muay Thai! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, and the classes are challenging but also a lot of fun.

I love this Gym. They can teach Muay Thai & Yoga. The price are acceptable. They have very nice teacher. Also, The classment are very friendly.

Highly recommend. Extremely friendly and professional instructors. Super bright and clean like brand new. I felt like home already on my first day trial and It doesn’t have the bad sweat smell at all. Can tell the owners and instructor put a lot Of effort into it. Good work.

Me and my friend went for one trial Muay Thai session with Steve and Vince and Nana. Everyone is so friendly and skillful. We had a great workout today. Looking forward to having more sessions soon.

Amazing facility, Coach Vince and his team are great with kids in their programs. In addition to the great Muay Thai program Coach Vince teaches the importance of respect at the end of each lesson. My daughter has been training for her first competition and she has learned the importance of never giving up, and always trying. Highly recommend 9Spears for anyone who wants to get their children into a great program

Great place to train! Great coach and community, if youre looking to get started in muaythai this is the place to do it

Amazing classes! I’ve had about 6 Muay Thai classes and both instructors (Vincent and Steve) have been attentive and amazing! Classes for all levels. I started as a beginner.

Bonus if you love dogs. Steve has an adorable dog that shows up on Fridays as far as I know!

Amazing place to do yoga and Thai boxing. I strongly recommend this hidden gem place to anyone,

Amazing lesson planning, balanced and fitness, friendly environment, amazing equipment. Recommend

Great place, and great instructor!
Vince to put enough attention to each student. Booking system is convenient.

I highly recomend it!

9 Spears is such a great place to learn Muay Thai! The studio is very clean and safe. Follow up communication is excellent. Vince is such a great coach, very professional and patient person. My daughter really enjoys his class. He adjusts the learning to each individual based on their levels. Hope more people come to recognize such great coach. Can't say enough good things about this place except come and try it out yourself!

Great place for muay thai classes. Studio is not big but that allows each student in a group class to engage and also allows Vince to put enough attention to each individual. Booking system is convenient. Easy to find parking in the front or the back of the studio.

A clean, friendly, and safe environment to train with an amazing instructor, Vince, who welcomes everyone at different levels. New to Muay Thai, I am loving the workouts and training with other members who are so kind and supportive.

Doing yoga twice a week during the pandemic makes my body condition and mental heath stable. Nana always fix my posture very well even though we do the lessons online! I am very happy that I found a great instructor like Nana!

Instills a love of health and fitness.
Muay thai for kids.
My daughter & son tell me they enjoy going to muay thai sessions as it combines fitness and fun. Coach Vince has created a positive atmosphere that is friendly and warm, which support childrens mental and physical developments.

9 Spears is a great place for lessons! Vince is a great coach, very hands-on and takes his time to show you the basics. Highly recommended!

This is the best Muay Thai gym I have ever joint. Vince is an amazing coach who not only is a great fighter himself but also teaches very well (and is an all-around super nice and patient human being). The gym members are also kind and supportive to each other, making it a great place to learn and practice Muay Thai regardless of what level you are. I would 100% recommend this gym and Vince to who's interested in Muay Thai, or just wanting to build their stamina and get stronger in general.

Best place to get your sweat on! Vince is an experienced and knowledgeable instructor. I’ve learned technique, strength, and endurance all while having fun!

My son really enjoys learning Muay Thai kickboxing here and looks forward to his lessons every week.

It's my first experience with Muay Thai. Environment is friendly. Vincent (the instructor) is very patient and knowledgeable.

Coach Vince of 9 Spears is an amazing teacher. Not only is he very skilled in Muy Thai, but is very patient while teaching and guides/instructs individual students during each lesson. He recognizes each students’ ability and potential, and fosters a safe and welcoming environment for both children and adults. My son and I love his class (I am registered in the adult class). His favourite is when he gets to spar and train with coach Vince one-on-one! Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Nana’s online yoga classes. She gives us a different theme to focus on every week which I really like. I always feel great and energized after her class!

Nice and relaxing yoga classes but also great workout! Nana gives us very clear instructions throughout the lessons.

Muy Thai is the most effective striking sport and when I saw that this gym opened up it was daunting to just sign up as I didn't think I had what it takes. After a few classes I can already see myself improve leaps and bounds from just watching youtube videos and imitating what they are doing. Vince is a bona-fide great, cool and personable teacher who really looks deep into his students and play to their strengths and improve their weaknesses. His instructions are clear, concise and incredibly helpful as he really looks at what you're doing right, wrong and what could be better. He has a very nourishing energy that takes pride in the betterment of his students and I simply love the feeling I get when going into the class and coming out of each one better than I was before. He will train you hard to ensure you get an incredible work out make sure you are fight ready with realistic combat training. I myself am a complete beginner and he takes special care to teach me not to hurt myself and he leaves no one behind and keeps the pace going and going. The whole vibe of his gym is very beginner friendly and there are no big egos around, so definitely check it out! You just might fall in love with the sport!

Love the online yoga classes!
I have been enjoying 9 Spears' online yoga classes. Amazing experience. Highly recommend.

Firstly, Vince is a very personable and experienced teacher. He explains concepts and techniques quite well with practical execution. The studio is very nice, has a cozy and friendly feel to it while being able to make use of the bags and pads effectively. It doesn’t take away from the one on one learning experience even while there are others in the class.

Coach Vince is amazing with kids! Both my son and daughter have been taking classes for over a year. My son loved Muay Thai instantly! But a completely different story for my daughter, she was very hesitant at first. The main reason I brought her here was to work on her confidence because she was so shy and often felt uncomfortable around other people. But it didn't take long for that to change. The confidence she's gained from training with Coach Vince has been incredible, especially outside his class. Coach Vince is a highly skilled instructor with a wealth of experience who is always kind and encouraging. He pushes the kids to do their best while keeping it fun! This facility is very clean and I feel safe sending my kids here even during the pandemic. The kids love it and I would highly recommend 9 Spears!

Love the location and space of the new gym. My 6 yr old has been been taking Muay Thai classes for the past year and he absolutely loves it. Coach Vince is very patient with the kids and keeps them engaged throughout the class. He also incorporates different activities to keep it light and fun. There are multiple classes throughout the week to choose from and you also have the option to work on your technique with the coach or on your strength using the heavy bags. The gym is very clean and coach Vince has done a great job in adhering to all COVID related requirements. As a parent, you know your kids are walking into a safe environment.

My 3rd yoga class in and I’m feeling great!
The environment is very welcoming and relaxing. My wife and I really enjoyed the classes; Nana does a fantastic job of providing clear instructions, offers challenge moves as well as options, and keeps it fun. Time to invest in a good yoga mat, this is gonna be a long term investment in maintaining our health and flexibility. Look forward to our next class. I highly recommend anyone looking to do the same to come and join in.

Professional training and friendly environment:
Coach Vince is one of the best Muay Thai instructors I have trained with. His attention to detail and emphasis on proper technique, will inspire you to push hard to reach your fitness goals.

Vince takes the time and patient to teach my teenager son.
He loves and enjoy his practice every week. The new gym is very nice and meet all the safety measurement. We feel safe and comfortable.
Thank you for your work.

Vince takes a comprehensive approach to traditional Muay Thai instruction, regardless of your skill level. He doesn’t just focus on technique; the difference with 9 Spears is that attention is paid to your individual technical strengths and weaknesses, with equal emphasis on conditioning and flexibility. Learn, develop and/or advance your skills in a friendly environment, that is supportive yet critical to ensure your Muay Thai is effective!

Coach Vince is excellent and it’s a great workout. Suitable for all levels. Vince is an experienced fighter and is great with kids. My son loves it. The gym adheres to government guidelines for COVID and I feel very safe sending my son there. Highly recommend 9Spears!

9Spears Muay Thai gym is a beautiful and safe place for my kids to learn the art. Coach Vince is great with the kids and motivates them to reach their potential every time. Given all the reps and combos they do in one session they always leave the gym smiling and eager for the next session.

Vince is the best! He is kind, respectful and really knows his stuff. Every class is an intense full body workout.

A beautiful, state-of-the-art gym in a very convenient location! The instructor, Vince, has a wealth of experience and talent, coupled with patience and effective teaching strategies and techniques. My boys, ages 10 and 15, instantly fell in love with the sport and enjoy the intense workouts - appropriate for their age groups. Absolutely excellent and highly recommended!

Both my daughter and son have been training with Coach Vince for just over a year and they have learned so much. Not only does Coach Vince teach them detailed techniques with a some one on one coaching, he also teaches them respect, discipline, and always pushes them to do better. These are all great things and to top it off they are having a ton of fun! Both my children always look forward to Muay Thai training and have gained so much more confidence and physical strength as a result.
I highly recommend anyone who wants their kids to learn the art of Muay Thai to sign up with 9 Spears.

9 Spears is perfectly located in the heart of Cathedral Town. Vince is extremely knowledgeable, talented and a patient instructor to my two boys. We have been training with Vince for almost 2 years now and looking forward to learning more in the years to come! 9 Spears is highly recommended to anyone looking for a good workout, whether it's an intense striking muay thai session with Vince or a meditative stretching yoga session with Nana!

As a parent bringing my small kids to class - I have been bringing both my small kids (boy & girl) to classes with Coach Vince for training for Muay Thai for the past year. I've been able to witness both of my kids skill level improving every week and their confidence level has been developing nicely weather it be inside the gym or outside the gym. I've purchased the 6 months unlimited for the kids to just give them exercises originally because i felt regular schools weren't giving them enough. Now, the kids want to go all the time, and it sure beats them playing video games all the time. LOL!

Excellent trainer with vast knowledge and experience in Muay Thai. The class sizes ensure that all students get personal attention. Whether training on the heavy bag or hitting pads, Vincent makes sure you get a good workout and pick up the skills. I also enjoy the emphasis on the conditioning aspect of the sport.
