Sitan Gym

I started at Sitan Gym in July of 2015 with main goals of loosing weight; learning self-​defense was an added bonus. I made this decision after realizing that it became harder each year to loose the holiday pounds just by jogging and lifting weights. I have done 5K in the past and running was getting boring. The results became harder to achieve year after year.
I read the reviews on Unilocal and decided to give it a try for their 3 month summer special which included hand wraps and a pair of boxing gloves (a nice added bonus and value). I have a busy schedule as do most of us, thus seeing the array of classes and timings offered from morning to afternoon to evening/​night was convenient.
The atmosphere at the gym is great. Starting with the other members — I feel they are nice, approachable, and the ones who are advance, teach you rather than out-​powering you during drills. Thus it is a conducive learning environment. Skill level varies from those with no prior experience to those who have trained in other martial arts. There is also a variation in the «fitness level» of those who start off. Thus, I feel no matter what stage you are in, you will fit in. The trainers — words cannot explain how amazing they are. They know what they are doing, they have participated and still do in tournaments. They offer positive motivation, refinement of your technique, encouragement and support. As your spend more time, they will focus on areas where you can improve to get to the next level.
The types of classes offered are varied. This is a traditional muay thai gym. However, classes range from beginners, to classes where only pads, bag work, or clinching techniques are used. Other classes that one can take include sparring, strength and conditioning (this is definitely an advanced class) and fitness kickboxing which will guarantee an amazing workout. In the end, each class is different in terms of what you will learn, which keeps things interesting.
The results — in the past 3 months by going about 3x a week I reduced my weight by 6% despite an increase in muscle mass, my endurance is like it has never been before (I am in my 30s), and improved my flexibility.
Due to all the above reasons, I renewed for an extended period and have no hesitations in recommending Sitan Gym to others.

Sitan gives serious training in a fun atmosphere… Huge gym with all the trimmings. All the trainers are friendly and knowledgable.
Students give the feel of being part of a family … You really get the feel of that from the second you walk in to the gym.
Definitely caters to all types. Wether you want to lose weight. Get healthy … Or compete. You pretty much get it all here.
I highly recommend it. Wether you are a beginner or a seasoned veteran this is the place to check out.

These guys kick ass literally and figuratively. Everyone that works and trains here is super-​friendly and helpful. I started as a complete beginner and have been training here for the last six months. I’ve lost around 30lbs and have had fun doing it! My only regret is not starting sooner. There are a variety of class types and many available for beginners so you have no excuse!

I tried a couple of Muay Thai gyms before I finally chose Sitan. It is definitely one of the best gyms for Muay Thai. The coaches are all very helpful and friendly and take time correcting your form. The place is very clean and spacious. You are guaranteed a great workout in both the Muay Thai classes and the strength and conditioning classes. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Fantastic environment to start learning, progress and become a champion at Muay Thai.
The staff at Sitan are very friendly and will work with you individually during classes to help you out and all the members’ attitudes and the class atmosphere is really conducive to an amazing experience.

Sitan Gym LI was recommended to me by my coaches at 8 Limbs Academy in Philly when I moved back to NY, and I can definitely see why. The coaches at Sitan are not messing around! Jess and Eddie will make you tough as nails, and they work hard to make sure you have the correct technique and are improving every class. The workouts are really tough and I always leave drenched with sweat, but I also always feel great and accomplished after each class. Jess and Eddie (and often the other folks training with you!) are very encouraging and will make sure you’re doing okay regardless of the level of the other people in the class. The gym itself is great, and I love that I can also get Thai shorts, etc. there. All in all, great Muay Thai, great people, and great facility! Definitely check it out!

Best place I have been too since coming to Long Island. It’s where you can train hard and have a good time doing it. The staff is very friendly, organized, and very experienced when it comes to Muay Thai.

Great place. Instructors and members are very helpful to beginners. The whole family enjoys coming here to get a great workout and learn Muay Thai.

Incredible gym. Has been opened for just over a year and I LOVE the training here. Eddie is a very experience fighter and shares his knowledge with all of his students. Facility is nice and clean. Give it a try

This gym is great! If you really want to learn a traditional Muay Thai boxing, these is the place to be! Eddie cuello is a great coach!!! And all the sfuff is REALLY friendly!

Great Muay Thai gym in Long Island. Eddie’s a great teacher and really pushes you to work as hard as you can and makes sure you learn proper technique and maintain form no matter how tired you are. It’s an amazing workout. The gym is kept clean and everyone’s very friendly. Plus, not having a contract is huge.

I joined sitan gym and it was great for me! Everyone helps you out and motivates you to keep going! The trainer is great helps you with everything you need, its a great cardio workout and i love it! I love going no matter what! Mauy Thai is a great thing to learn, doesn’t matter how old you are! Aziz and eddie are great teachers, very hands out and make you feel confident that you can do it!

Only Muy Thai gym I know of in Long Island that offers classes to kids! The trainers are great with the kids.

We brought our 4 children age 11, 9, 7 and 4 during the gym’s official opening in March this year, 2013. We found the atmosphere to be friendly, the facility clean and the owners/​trainers, Master Aziz Nabih, head coach Eddie Cuello and Mike Gasparki very professionals and yet very down to earth. My children have been training in the kids Muay Thai class since the gym open. During the 8 mths training period, they have learned a lot of techniques under close supervision and guidance from the awesome coach and assistant coaches. We are blessed to have the gym located here in Long Island and not far where we live. To parents who wants their children to learn self defense, I highly recommend Muay Thai martial arts. Let the children learn and have fun while at it. Sitan Gym Long Island is THE place to learn, hands down!

The kettle bell class is great! Rick explains the proper positions and how to continue with the exercises at home. I had the class yesterday and I’m feeling it today. What a burn! Love it

Congratulations to Sitan Gym in LI — They finally opened up a world class facility in Long Island where you can train in Muay Thai with experienced trainers and get the results you want. I’ve known Eddie, Aziz and Mike and the guys over there for a LONG time and the level of knowledge is outstanding. They will help you get to your goals immediately!

Want a great work out?! This is the place to be! Guaranteed leaving you drenched in sweat. Great cardio. Nothing better than a greater feeling working out every single muscle of your body after a class of muay thai. The instructors (Eddie and Aziz) here really push you beyond your limits. They pay close attention to everyone making sure you learn the sport of muay thai the right way. Theres no contracts here. You get an intense work out and learn how kick some a**! Can’t go wrong with that.

I can honestly say the workouts at this gym are the best on Long Island. I have been to several other gyms but nothing compares to the workouts at Sitan gym Long island. Eddie is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience working with the best fighters in the world. Everyone works together and treat each other with respect. It is an awesome training facility with great instructors and great members! Another great part of the gym is no contract and prices are very reasonable for amazing training !

best gym in Nassau. Muay Thai, Tae Kwon do etc. You want a great cardio work out this is the gym to do it in. Staff is great and they take their time to assist you and make sure you get your money’s worth.

What a great place to train, everybody is so nice and friendly and super helpful. Aziz is an awesome mentor, he is extremely patient and wants nothing more than for you to learn and excel.
Whatever you are looking to achieve, maybe just get fit or to increase your Muay Thai skills, this is the place to do it.
