Very excellent coaches who will give you a good workout and train you in practical Muay Thai techniques for self defense and sport. One of the best workouts I have attended and I have done Muay Thai in multiple states.
If you are looking to compete or just get in shape this is the place for you. Coach Rich has a great eye for talent and he really finds time for everyone here. They don’t just teach you how to fight here, we learn how to win. Love this place!
Great place to start off your training everyone’s very helpful and welcoming
Great class format. Very welcoming team.
Great Muay Thai program!! Really feels like a family when you’re there, everyone pushing each other. Very welcoming for any level - beginners, competitors, and people just looking for fitness and health. Would recommend 5/5
While visiting Hawaii, I found the mango tree at last minute and ran in there several minutes after class started. Coach Rich let me jump in ( even though I wouldnt even let me come in late if I were him) and one of his students helped me catch up. I could tell, since Ive had so many coaches, that coach Rich pays special attention to his students and has a vast amount of knowledge in Muay Thai as well as Fitness.I am so thankful allowed me into that class - I got a good sweat and learned a new technique I had never tried before that seems to be effective.I intend to go back because it was such a cool Vibe and such friendly people. Thank you, yall.
Training at Mango Tree has been an awesome change in my workout. I do one on one training with Zach. He is not only patient but knowledgeable in what he is teaching me. It’s a great change of pace since my normal routine consists of going to the gym and running. My goal isn’t to enter fights, but more to expand on self defense skills. I’m excited to see how much I will progress in the coming months
The Mango Tree is awesome, I have learned so much training here and they are so welcoming to new comers. They do a great job of making everyone feel like they belong and everyone there wants to see you get better!
Just started and cant stop training great experience everytime i walk into the gym
I started training at The Mango Tree in June 2019 just to try something totally new and start getting in shape again. I have no prior martial arts experience, but was an all state/collegiate level soccer player in great shape. Despite working out 2 times a day most days back then, theres really nothing like the physical and mental conditioning you get from Coach Rich and the rest of the staff at The Mango Tree.I took over ten years off from working out, and in just a few months, I started to feel stronger than I ever have and unlocked access to high amounts of energy for the whole day. Lastly, as a small business owner, I feel like my confidence and negotiation skills have improved largely thanks to having developed a sharper and tougher mentality from the rigors of class. The Mango Tree has become one of the most important things in my life, and the support system of the fellow teammates and coaches is incredible. I look forward to pushing myself to new limits and learning more about this special art of Muay Thai well into the future. Do yourself a gigantic favor and start coming to class!
I am visiting from out of town and decided to visit The Mango Tree Fitness and am super glad that I did. Coach Rich and his students create a great environment for all levels, I havent trained consistently in a few months and was really intimidated by the thought of visiting a new gym but I wanted to get some training in while I was in HI. I immediately felt welcomed and the team was ready to put the work in and set a really good tone for the class. I will definitely be back next time Im in Hawaii! If youre looking for a place to train I highly recommend visiting this gym, you wont regret it.
Best place in Hawaii to train. Do not see any other place I would rather train at.
In short:The best Muay Thai education I have experienced. Period.My girlfriend and I plan vacations so I can come here and it works that she gets to enjoy the island.In detail:The knowledge and methods coach rich and his team employ to breakdown and drill techniques in their vocabulary are encouraging, thorough and packed with unique systematic intention.The passion for the sport here is radiated to his students and bolstered by the comrodery coach fosters between teammates and all who attend.They make you feel at ease with what you don’t know and what you may be having trouble with. And they have the variety of approach and patience to help you grow at your pace with the perfect amount of pressure, not stifling, but strengthening, in parting the ability to push yourself somewhere you might not have known you could go.I am excited every time I get to work or vacation on the island and mango tree is always my stop to share in the love of this sport with great athletes, great instructors, and purely great humans.
Amazing gym and group. The Muay Thai classes are the best combo of a great workout and really excellent coaching experience. Everyone is friendly and focused, the coaches are all super supportive, so it makes for a great time. Definitely recommend to everyone, beginner to veteran.
Thanks so much for some excellent Muay Thai classes. I was visiting the area and was lucky enough to have found this gym close by so dropped in for some classes. Richard is a fantastic coach keeping a watchful eye on the class, always offering positive help and instruction when needed. Just as important students are also great and I am happy to have met some fantastic people. Definitely got some butt kicking workouts that kept me feeling good for my stay…!!!!! Thanks again Richard
The owner is super friendly and the gym was very welcoming to visiting tourists who just want a good workout while on vacation. Im from Vancouver and Im so happy to have had a chance to workout in the best muay thai gym in Honolulu. I would definitely recommend you check out the gym if youre in town.
This is the most authentic Muay Thai gym Ive been to in Hawaii. Coach Rich is great and his classes are both incredible workouts and fun skills drilling. If you get the chance i would definitely recommend Mango Tree for both serious practitioners and anyone just looking for a solid workout.
Coincidentally, the owner of this gym helped start the gym I attend across the country. He allowed me to train, and the facility was far bigger than it seemed from the street and had all the necessary equipment. It was very clean, all the people were respectful and cared about their learning, and it was fun.
Great local community Muay Thai gym. Experienced trainers and many classes which accommodate a flexible schedule. They also offer private classes. Call Coach Rich, he’s the man.
Love coming to class, great technical training and amazing workout all in one!! Coaches are so supportive and welcoming.
I come here every time I return from Bangkok before i go back CONUS. The coach Rich runs a really good Muay Thai programs. A lot of athletes and students to train with. Tecnical Drilling, sparring and Muay Thai theory. This gym hits it all. Highly recomend this gym to anybody looking to train or get fit!
I have know Coaches Bernice and Rich since 2012 when they were employees at UFC Gym, and competed in two NPC events under the guidance of Coach Bernice. Due to life events, I quit training for a few years but reconnected with Coach Bernice summer of 2019 and decided to become a student at The Mango Tree. Currently I take basically every class offered, from Muay Thai to personal training sessions with Bernice.What makes the fitness side of the gym special is the level of dedication Coach Bernice and the junior coaches are able to give to every single student. We have students from all ages, fitness levels, and walks of life - from keiki to professional athletes to kupuna - and everyone is made to feel comfortable and at home thanks to the efforts made to tailor each class to all levels and capabilities. Every day there are classes offered - Hotbox (a boxing conditioning class), TRX, HIIT, and personal training - and theyre all intense and under an hour so that youre able to get in a good sweaty workout that fits into any kind of busy schedule. The energy in the room is always upbeat and positive, and Ive never left a class without my mood improved.Of course any exercise program is incomplete without adding in proper nutrition. Coach Bernice has a Bachelors degree in Dietetics from UH-Manoa. Between a combination of her personalized nutrition guidance and the DotFit supplements sold at the gym Ive been able to lose over 10 pounds and 6 percent body fat in about 3 months.Ive trained at a lot of different gyms, and The Mango Tree is truly a unique and amazing place. Coach Rich and Bernices philosophy has always been quality over quantity. We may be a small gym, but EVERY single member and student brings nothing but good vibes and positive energy to the Mango Tree team, and every interaction is motivating and encouraging.Come check it out and join the family!
Amazing gym and awesome place to learn Muay Thai. I had no previous experience but felt very welcomed and Rich is an amazing coach, great ambience, solid workout!
Coach Rich and Bernice have a great gym. Once you join you’re considered part of the Mango Tree Family.Traditional Muay Thai classes along with other conditioning classes to help get you in fighting OR just beach shape. Whatever your goal.🤙🏽Mahalo R&B!!
The classes are super good the coaches are pretty helpful and the training it’s tough but it help you to get on a good physical shape.
Awesome place for anyone, knew nothing when I first came here and I’m learning, great instructors and hard, fast paced workout!
Its very fun. Some days are better than others, and some days hurt. The environment is fun and the people are friendly. Everyone should stop by and check it out.
I have no martial arts experience and found this place while searching google. I knew I wanted to learn a martial art and be able to protect myself; however I wanted a place where it was more than just a gym. I wanted a place where it would feel natural being there and not like I was in a foreign country. I have played sports all my life and enjoy being part of a team and a family. All the reviews I found online said this place was a great place to learn and there was a great family atmosphere.I started in September 2019 and from the first time I walked into class in Kapolei, I felt welcomed. The coaches are extremely knowledgable, friendly, and really work with you to help to learn the concepts. They push you when you need the extra motivation and they encourage you when you need it. The coaches are great, but one thing I am really impressed with is their ability to translate their knowledge into teaching and getting their students to understand what is being taught.Classes are about an hour long and they are a great workout. The people who train there are amazing as well. They often take their time with me and explain things to me to help me get better. They dont get frustrated with a new person being their partner and have been extremely helpful and encouraging. The attitude they have and the coaches have towards new people coming to train is amazing and contagious. The staff and the students make it easy to train, learn, and grow. There hasnt been a moment where I felt like I was holding anyone back as their partner and they didnt want to work with me. Everyone I have interacted with has a great attitude.With all of that said, I definitely recommend this place to anyone. If youre not sure about it, just contact anyone of the coaches and come by for a class. I could write a whole page of amazing things about this place, but that wouldnt do it justice. The feeling of being in class and learning from the coaches and other students is unparalleled.
Best place to learn Muay Thai period. Kru Rich and other the coaches push you to be a better martial artist and person. Do NOT hesitate coming in and trying out class. You won’t regret it. Mahalo Mange Tree!
Supportive training atmosphere! Very flexible schedule and good for all ages. Coach Rich does a very good job with instruction and really pushes people to reach whatever goals they want to reach through Muay Thai.
BEST Muay Thai school. Coach Rich has many Muay Thai experiences and you can just tell by the way he teaches and cares for his students. Very attentive and there to answer any questions you may have. His techniques of teaching Muay Thai is very authentic and he helps you improve and fix your techniques based on how you train. Very humble. He always make you feel welcome no matter what level you are. His classes is well organized and you will always feel comfortable training there! Very warm and welcoming gym! All of the students are so respectful towards each other. Once you are there, you really feel like you are part of the Mango tree and fitness ohana! Check them out! You will love it.
My personal opinion? It feels awesome putting in the sweat equity here, profoundly rewarding to be honest. There is utility and purpose and a higher sense of gratification when you know your hard work gives you the confidence to stand your ground or defend those you care about in a physically hostile situation.Whether it’s Muay Thai or Jiujitsu this place has made my time spent here, even though no where near enough, a worthwhile high return investment.
Rich and the entire Mango Tree ohana are focused—focused on teaching, training, and expanding proper Muay Thai across the islands. Always enjoy my time and learn something new after all my years in combat sports. Mahalo!
Nothing but aloha good vibes from Kru Rich and the rest of the team. Very very welcoming. Always good to see everyone help each other out. I can’t thank them enough for opening their doors to me whenever I come to Oahu. If you are interested in learning the art of Muay Thai, please hit them up. You won’t be disappointed.

After Taking a few years off I was a little nervous about getting back into Muay Thai. I was out of shape Over weight and confidence was at its lowest. I have seen this gym on social media and have read good reviews about it.Let me start off by saying, Coach Rich is the bomb!. Here are a few reasons why. This gym is not only a Muay Thai gym it’s a community, you see that in how much he cares about each student. I have been practicing the art of Mauy Thai for a few years now, gone to Thailand to immures myself into the culture to dive deeper into the art. I’ll say with confidence, after a year here at the Mango Tree this is the most improvement I’ve gained in the art, this gym has no ego and the members here are super friendly. Everyday I come, I learn something new, coach Rich is passionate about the craft and art of Muay Thai and it shows in each class. There’s morning classes and night classes.6 days of classes -Intro classesSparing- Monday, Wed, Friday and for their fight team Saturdaylevel one and level two classes.Strength and conditioning classesYogaIf you’re looking for a gym that is also a community and get training from someone who has a passion about Muay Thai come check out this gym. You won’t be disappointed.

Great group of people to start and learn Muay Thai with. Good pace, hard work, and attention to detail make this a great environment for growth, and the Ohana is unreal. Glad to be part of this family, would absolutely recommend
Awesome coaches, great team. Love the cameradie and help from everyone. I recommend it to anyone who wants to stay fit, learn the art of Muay Thai and be a part of the journey.
Exceptional mix of classes, there is something for everyone here! Personally, Im loving the Muay Thai on both the West Side and Kaimuki locations. Coach Rich is outstanding, as well as assistants Zach and Anthony. Private Muay Thai lessons with Zach have been amazing as well.
Amazing coaches that help beginners feel comfortable and safe.
Amazing School very professional highly recommend for Adults and great for Kids!
This is the only FULL TIME MUAY THAI ACDAMEY in Hawaii! We are all one big family at The Mango tree and the coaches and vibes are the best thing I’ve experienced in life personally. HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS PLACE!!
An amazing place with amazing people if you put in the work your guaranteed great results. It happened to me.
Mango tree is a more than just place to learn martial arts and exercise, the people there make you feel like family, forreal. Coach Rich is the man
Great environment and people to learn real Muay Thai with, not Kickboxing. Come support the only gym dedicated to Muay Thai on island.
The Mango Tree Family is awesome. This is my second year of Muay Thai and Coach Rich has taught me more about the fundamentals of the art which has increased my abilities and confidence in fighting.If you are looking for a place that will teach you Muay Thai, and someone who is dedicated to Muay Thai - this is heaven.
High quality Muay Thai instruction. Excellent coach, friendly team, great class schedule.
Some of the best place to train for authentic Muay Thai in Hawaii!! Kru Rich and everybody that trains there has helped me so much in learning and training the art of eight limbs, i love training, good environment, friendly people, and awesome workout!!
Rich and Berniece are amazing coaches that knows how to lead a class to every student at every level. They dont make it easy but thats the point, no ego, just great work!
Life changing. Started going with a friend in fell in love with Muay Thai. In less than a year I went from clueless to competing in my first amateur fight. I can’t recommend it highly enough!
Super fun jon stop class. Good cardio and everyone is willing to help the new guy
I love this place!! Its a really good workout and everyone is really fun!
At 37, I was a bit nervous to start Muay Thai training. I knew I wanted to begin a marital arts curriculum, and this one seemed the most practical. Naturally I was intimidated, but I immediatley felt comfortable as soon as I stepped thru the doors of Mango Tree. There were plenty of beginners, as well as seasoned pros; everyone was willing to lend a hand right off that bat, and I could tell that any egos were checked at the door. Fast forward a year and half: I went from hardly being able to kick higher than my own knees, to full on sparring, training with the fight team, and competing in an adult development league here in Hawaii. And i am no exception; I have seen plenty of people start with no experience, and within six months are showcasing talented Muay Thai techniques. However, you dont need to have a desire to be a fighter or compete. Plenty of folks come to the different sessions for other reasons, be it cardio, functional fitness, yoga, self confidence, or self defense. I have seen folks who have never worked out in their lives come in and completely transform themselves. Coach Rich is a passionate instructor, and is always pushes us forward, but with an eager attitude and an gym full of happy people. I have made some great friends here, and I am constantly amazed by my own journey since I started just 18 months ago. Best martial arts gym in the state, hands down!
Best place to train on the island! Coach Rich and Coach Bernice are awesome!
Best Muay Thai Gym on the island for all levels.
