About the Gym
The 500 square meter training hall in Kallio is one of the larger dedicated Muay Thai spaces in Northern Europe. The facility includes spacious changing rooms, showers, a boxing ring, several hundred square meters of padded floor, kick pads, bags, gloves, kettlebells, plates, and dumbbells. The class schedule runs seven days a week, which HTBC notes is unique among Finnish Muay Thai clubs. Program structure is unusually inclusive. Beyond general adult training there are dedicated Ladythai sessions (women-only Thai boxing), Junnuthai for juniors, and an English-language Sunday technique group. Pricing is transparent and bracketed: a 2-month beginner course costs €100, adult membership ranges from €75 (1 month) to €400 (12 months), Ladythai from €60 (1 month) to €180 (6 months), Junnuthai from €25 (1 month) to €120 (6 months). One-time training is €10. An honest note: one critical review describes hygiene issues in the women's changing room — the club responded that as a non-commercial sports association, much cleaning is done by volunteers and they aim to improve. That's transparent of them and not unusual for non-profit clubs.
