I discovered Primal last July and I loved their concept of 3 floors with strength, movement, combat and wellness. I wanted to find a good Muay Thai gym and honestly it’s been the best. I’ve met great people with similar mindsets and crazy energy to burn The coaches are all very talented and push you to do better while being kind and supportive. I would recommend it to anyone who’s committed to improve their skills and take care of their body.

Primal Gym is a great place to work out with a clean, modern space and high-quality equipment. The trainers are professional, friendly, and always supportive. The front desk staff are very welcoming, polite, and helpful, making check-in fast and comfortable every time. The classes are well-organized and suitable for all fitness levels. I feel healthier and more motivated since joining. Highly recommended! 💪
Amazing Fitness Studio where you can find different group classes and wellness area. The staff and the coaches are so helpful and kind. I’m currently teaching some sessions here in the movement floor so whenever you have time come to visit us and have a nice experience. All the floors have modernized equipment. It’s a great place to train.
Tried a Muay Thai class at Train With Primal in Thảo Điền, HCMC, and wow — what an experience! The gym is modern, organized, and packed with energy. Pad work, bag drills, partner combos… every move challenged me. Left the class feeling pumped, accomplished, and ready for more. If you want a real taste of Muay Thai in HCMC, this is the place!
I can’t recommend Primal enough. This place is truly different from your typical gym. From the moment you walk in, you feel that everything is intentional, the coaching, the atmosphere, the music, and the overall energy. It’s not just about working out, it’s about the full experience. The classes are incredibly well structured, whether you’re into strength, combat, or movement. Coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely care about helping you improve, no matter your level. You never feel lost, and you’re always challenged in the right way. What makes Primal stand out is the balance between performance and wellness. The recovery facilities (sauna, ice bath, hot & cold plunges) make it easy to take care of your body, not just push it. It’s a motivating, welcoming community where you train with purpose, not just burn calories!! If you’re looking for a place that helps you move better, feel stronger, and stay consistent… this is it. 💪
