Spartan martial arts academy is the cleanest gym I’ve been to so far. The coaches here are very respectful and engaging especially coach Tyrese from the beginners must Thai Class. I’ve been taking his classes for a while now and I feel way better with how I’ve improved over the past few months. This is the gym To go 🔥🔥

Spartan martial arts academy is the best place to train at. I personally take the boxing classes and my little sister takes the muah Thai classes and tbh we are having a blast. I highly recommend any of the locations . They have classes throughout the week that will go with your schedule.

Been training at Spartan for a while now and I can definitely say I’ve become a much more complete fighter since coming here. Great environment, great people and I’m always learning something new. Kru Julius has been a huge part of my development. He’s always pushing me to the next level and has taught me to be a much more coachable fighter. No matter how long I train with him, he’ll always find something that needs sharpening and that’s how I’ve never stopped learning. Coach Anisa has helped my boxing a ton. My hands used to be the weakest parts of my game and I’d get outboxed badly in my earlier fights. Since training with her, my boxing has come a long way now that I actually have hands to fight with instead of just waiting for the opportunity to kick somebody. Coach Anisa has made a huge difference in my overall game. Kru Mic has also been great at keeping me active and giving me opportunities to fight. He genuinely pushes his fighters and has helped me grow a lot through being in the ring consistently and everything that comes with being a fighter. Overall a great gym. I’m a way better fighter than when I first walked in and still feel like I’m improving every day.

I trained at Spartan Striking Academy for about a month and really enjoyed my experience. The coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and make sure you’re actually learning instead of just going through the motions. The classes are challenging but still welcoming, especially if you’re newer to striking. I also liked the atmosphere — everyone was friendly and there was no intimidating or ego-driven vibe. Even after just a month, I felt like I was getting better with each class. Definitely a great place to train if you’re looking to get in shape and learn some real striking skills.

I've been training consistently at Spartan Striking Academy in Markham for just over a year now and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my fitness and skill development. I regularly attend the training and conditioning classes, and I’ve also taken boxing and BJJ sessions. The progress I’ve seen in my technique, power, endurance, and overall conditioning has been real and consistent. What stands out most is the quality of the coaching. Owner Kru Michael Fitzpatrick sets the tone for the whole academy. You can feel his passion and experience as a professional fighter in the way the programs are structured and how he leads the gym. He’s built a place that feels professional, focused, and genuinely welcoming at the same time. I’ve also been taking private lessons with Kru Julius and he’s been excellent. With over 30 years of experience, Julius has a clear, practical teaching style that makes complex techniques feel accessible. His sessions are intense, well-organized, and tailored. I always leave with specific improvements I can work on. The private training has been a game-changer for my development. The facility is clean, spacious, and well-equipped, with a strong community feel where people train hard but without ego. Whether you’re there to compete or just to push yourself and stay sharp, the environment supports both. If you’re serious about Muay Thai, boxing, BJJ, striking, or high-level conditioning in the Markham area, Spartan Striking Academy is the real deal. Big thanks to Kru Michael, Kru Julius, Kru Anthony and the whole team for a great year of training. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend this club. Excellent knowledgeable staff. Friendly atmosphere that provides challenging and realistic training. Fantastic for kids. They work with your specific goals to maximize your benefit. Also regarding the personal training sessions, they are excellent at providing one on one training to help specific goals for different people. Micheal is enthusiastic, down to earth and his experience building the confidence and skills of different individuals is second to none. He is excellent with developing kids for competition.

Been doing personal training with Michael for a few months now. Skills improved a lot. Confidence went up. Power level is now over 9000. If you're in Markham area and want to improve muay thai, boxing, or whatever martial art, give these guys a shout. Highly recommend 💪

Spartan Striking Academy is hands down one of the best martial arts gyms around. Whether you’re a complete beginner or experienced fighter, the coaches here create a supportive and motivating environment where everyone can grow. The attention to technique, conditioning, and discipline is top-tier, and the community they’ve built is truly welcoming and respectful. You leave every class feeling stronger—not just physically, but mentally as well. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve their striking, get in shape, or just be part of a great team.

I can’t say enough great things about this martial arts gym. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the energy, dedication, and sense of community that sets it apart. The coaches are top-tier—highly skilled, experienced fighters who are just as committed to teaching as they are to training. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned competitor, they meet you where you are and push you to be your best. Classes are well-structured, intense, and incredibly rewarding. You’ll build real skills—not just fitness—with a strong focus on technique, discipline, and fight IQ. The environment is tough but welcoming, and it’s clear that everyone there is serious about improving and supporting each other. The facility is clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything from heavy bags to sparring areas. Safety is a top priority, and the culture encourages respect, humility, and hard work. If you’re looking to train with serious fighters, learn self-defense, or just challenge yourself mentally and physically, this is the place. I’ve grown so much since joining, and I highly recommend it to anyone ready to step up their game. Thanks Michael & Melissa for this great facility.

Beautiful Me

“Spartan striking academy” is a household name in my family, my three children including me are there almost everyday doing what we love to do, strengthening, conditioning and building our body and mind, under the supervision of extremely knowledgable, friendly instructors. We have been with this place for past 5 years now, that itself says a lot about why it’s the best. My daughter started her kickboxing/Muay Thai when she was only 8 years old, now she’s 13 and a world champion, going for professional athlete soon. My other children are also excelling at it. Besides all of the achievements my children have been learning to be disciplined, confident and focused. We are building a strong community around this sports that we are proud to be part of.
