REVIEWS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE
I spent 2 weeks training here and really wish I got more time with this gym! The communication via Whatsapp and booking spots in the class were super easy! I trained Muay Thai here and vibe/people in the gym were very friendly, they take care in sanitizing the equipment after every use and keep the facility clean! I want to give praise to coaches Faiz and FS for the awesome teachings and system they have going at Team Armada I learnt a lot in the short 2 weeks training there. I will really miss this gym and hope one day I can come back and train there again Highly recommend this gym!

This is the gym of the future, highly recommended for anybody who wants to learn real martial arts. If you are a complete beginner, you can be sure that you learn the right basics. If you are already an experienced fighter, this place is the best place to become aware of your bad habits and learn how to fix them. I have been doing personal training with head coach FS Cheng & coach Faiz for the last year. This is not a " typical pad holder personal training kind of thing" but each PT sessions is full of nuggets of knowledge. The sessions are build up very logical. With a well thought of structure and realistic goals for each cycle. Some sessions will be even be a bit boring some times, but if you look at your progress on a monthly base you will be blown away by the results. The level of feedback you will get in a PT session is just amazing. As a person who trained in many different gyms all over the world (Netherlands, Mexico, Thailand for example) for the last 12 years, I am still impressed about the deep knowledge which is provided here. Real hidden gem in Penang to have a gym like this. Would recommened anybody to give it a try for atleast a month (either PT or groupclass) and compare your results with the month before.

Team Armada! I’ve been there for about 4 weeks now, and I only have great experience so far. The coaches are great, I can see that they are passionate and experienced with each discipline they teach. I’m interested in the boxing classes, and I’m getting everything I need from those classes.
I’m happy to be apart of Team Armada ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was visiting Penang and bought a week pass for access to all classes here, and I chose to try boxing and Muay Thai for the first time, taking 4 classes in total. It was such good value for money. FS was great with communication before I arrived and then the coach Faiz was so good and helped me feel completely at ease as a total beginner, whilst being attentive and focused on details and technique. All classes were partner work, and I really enjoyed training with Joseph(?) and Joan! Very patient and encouraging. You can tell that they’ve built a great and supportive martial arts community. The gym itself was super clean. I’ll be back to Penang soon, so I’ll definitely be back. Thank you!!

I dropped in for the Muay Thai open gym session on Saturday, and I wish I stopped by earlier. The head coach, FS, is very intelligent and teaches femur style strategies. I’m grateful that I learned these things before my fight in the states. I’ll use them well. Thanks, FS!

Hands down one of the most memorable gyms I’ve trained in while traveling around South East Asia! I spent 3 weeks training at Team Armada focusing on Muay Thai and boxing. Firstly, the communication via WhatsApp was very timely and clear. I opted for the 1 month visitor pass as it allowed for unlimited classes (they also offer BJJ and pads/sparring classes). All the credit goes to the instructors. They focus on building such strong fundamentals and this is enforced every class. You’ll definitely get a good workout, but you’ll also develop strong technical skills. I saw improvement with my technique within the first class. Their attention to detail is like no other. In addition to my muscles being sore, I could feel my brain also got a solid workout every session. The vibe of the gym is also amazing. Everyone is very friendly, but when it’s time to work, everyone stays focused. Wish I had more time to train with Team Armada. Whenever I’m back in Penang, I’ll train here. Thanks FS and Faiz!

I’ve had the great opportunity to learn from Faiz & FS during my 4-week stay in Penang. Class booking is conveniently done via an App, so you can easily decide which class you want to attend. As a beginner, it was great to participate in the group classes and train with various students with different experience levels. Faiz and FS are exceptional coaches, and I was happy to refine my newly learned skills every session a bit more. They have classes 6 days a week, some days even 2 (morning/evening or back to back). I tried to attend every boxing and Pad & Bag-work class to become more capable, and my progress is very satisfying. I am incredibly grateful to have received the coaching and invaluable insights into the boxing world and its philosophy. I can highly recommend signing up for class here to train and learn from those two outstanding teachers. When my path leads me back to Penang, I will 1000% return to Team Armada!
