Yes, 100%. JS Muay Thai is Melbourne's first women-only Muay Thai gym. Our entire space — training floor, change rooms, showers, and community areas — is exclusively for women. This is intentional: we've built an environment where you can focus on learning, push yourself hard, and feel completely at ease doing it.

The best first step is to book a free consultation with us. It's a no-pressure conversation where we can learn about your goals, show you around the gym, and help you find the right membership or program. You can book directly through our website.

No! This is one of the most common things we hear, and we want to put it to rest. You don't need to be fit to start — training here is how you get fit. Our coaches are experienced at working with all levels and will never make you feel out of place. Just show up, and we'll take care of the rest.

We offer a wide range of classes to support your whole fitness journey, including Muay Thai, Boxing, HIIT, Strength Training, and Mobility & Stretch. Classes run mornings, lunch, and evenings, seven days a week — so there's always something that fits your schedule.

Classes are led by experienced coaches and typically include bag work, pad work, and skill drills. As you progress, you'll have the opportunity to practice sparring and refine defensive techniques, all within a cardio-intensive session. Safety and correct form are always a priority, and our coaches place strong emphasis on partnership skills and injury prevention.

This is our structured beginner program, designed for women who are new to Muay Thai or want to solidify the fundamentals. Over eight weeks, you'll learn authentic technique — stance, strikes, defence, and footwork — in a small-group format with progressive, step-by-step guidance. No experience needed; just energy and commitment.

Yes. Gold and Silver members can freeze their membership for up to 8 weeks per year at no charge. Bronze members receive up to 2 weeks of free freeze annually. This is great for holidays, illness, or busy life periods.

Bronze membership has no cancellation fee and no minimum term — you can stop anytime. Gold and Silver memberships have minimum terms of 12 and 6 months respectively.

A few things stand out. First, it's women-only — that changes the atmosphere completely. Second, it was founded and is led by professional female fighters who have translated their competitive knowledge into coaching. Third, the community here is genuinely tight-knit: members consistently describe it as a second home. And finally, the training is real Muay Thai — not a watered-down fitness class with a Thai kickboxing label on it.

JS Muay Thai was founded by two professional female fighters, Joanne La and Som Rangkla. Both bring deep competitive experience and genuinely different fighting styles — Jo is known for her aggressive style, while Som brings a long-limbed, highly technical approach. This means the coaching adapts to your body type and learning style, not the other way around. Our wider coaching team is equally experienced and approachable.

We're based at 23 Ann Street, Footscray VIC 3011 — conveniently located in Melbourne's inner west.
