Before I get into it, let me just say the Wat, in general is a great gym. Ajarn Phil Nurse is the man and his classes are great. I train at a few of the big gyms in the city & Brooklyn, and the Wat is easily in my top 3.
I took a class recently that I didn't think was so great - I wasn't into the coach's teaching style - I made my concerns known and the gym got at me immediately and cleared everything up. Very cool place to train.
Friendly. Great. Good all around.
An excellent place to get perfect body. I would definitely recommend you this is an amazing place with full of good peoples.
Excellent muay thai gym, instructors are very good about letting you train at your own pace. Beginner classes are very fun, looking forward to eventually working up to intermediate. Classes are well priced, and they let you 'resurrect' passes that have expired so they never really go to waste.

Awesome Muay Thai / boxing instruction from Ajarn Phil and the rest of the team (Eric, Nick, Ruben, Susan, etc). No matter your current ability, they will tailor the teaching to you and help you reach the next level. Highly recommended!
One of the best places that I've trained!
Ajarn Phil and his team give the most comprehensive approach to teaching such a great discipline of Martial Arts.
Kru Phil Nurse and the other instructors at the Wat (Susan, Stanley, Brett, and others) are at the top of their class. All are excellent teachers and all have impressive skills at Thai boxing. They all share a similar theme to their instruction style, and that is to constantly "raise the bar" during the course of a session. For example, they'll have you do 10 push ups, then 20, then 30 or more. Or, they might work on a few simple combinations then have you string them all together. They all know how to keep a workout interesting and each class incorporates new workouts and drills to prevent the workouts from becoming stale.
The gym is small physically (they're moving to a new space), but the smallness lends itself to building a strong community. People are friendly and you begin to recognize faces of the people you train with. All different levels of commitment and experience are welcomed and accommodated. There is no formal ranking system of students, as far as I know, but students are generally watched and given permission to take advanced level classes by the instructors based on their experience.
Clinch is very well done here, as are pad training. There is no push to fight, but members committed to fighting have competed locally, nationally, and internationally. Several of the instructors compete or have competed regularly and have been successful.
The biggest downside to this gym, which has forced me to leave, was the limited schedule. Each class is only offered at certain times on certain days of the week. For instance, 3 times a week there is a morning class. Clinch classes are only offered in the evenings a couple days each week. Sparring is only one or two days per week (once at intermediate level and once at advanced level). Each class is marvelously done, but your schedule must fit around the classes you want to take.
I haven't trained at any other Muay Thai gyms, so I can't tell you how this gym compares to their training programs, but, what I can tell you is that I have took trial classes (beginner) at other gyms like 5 points.
I like the feel to The Wat much more because of the lighting. Random, I know.
But the classes at The Wat isn't just talk. If you want to work out, you get worked out. I consider myself to be in pretty good shape as an athlete in general, but when I stepped into the total beginner class at The Wat, I felt drained afterwards. The class destroyed me. After a couple more visits, I felt that my body was getting more and more conditioned. As you move up the difficulty in classes, they get harder (obviously) and there is a really high emphasis on Cardio. I don't think I have had more than 2 minutes of rest in the 20 minute warm up at the total beginner course.
The facilities are very clean too. I'm a huge clean freak and I do not place myself anywhere where it could be dirty. The showers are nice and the people are friendly.
I think one of the best parts to the gym is their apples. The gym's amenities include "complimentary apples" and they are some of the best apples I have ever had.
Overall I can't stop coming back every few days.
