The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, and the voluntary extra-curriculars are a nice addition to those hoping to bond with classmates.

Burke’s is an awesome place to train. The instructor’s are extremely knowledgeable and kind, and they aren’t afraid to challenge you and get you out of your comfort zone. I gained in immense amount of confidence in the short time I was able to train, and even though my current schedule does not allow me to continue I would pick it up again in a heartbeat. Go for it! 😊
Perfect coach and experience is 100 nice .💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Awesome place. Awesome people. I only started a month ago, but I am so happy to be part of it. Mr. Burke and coach Ian are absolutely amazing, they have a lot of patient to teach you and actually wanna make sure you are doing it right. I was so shy at the beginning because everyone looks so good and professional, but then I noticed how everyone was so welcomed and how Muay Thai is not something only about fight but about focus as well. Best place to challenge yourself and change your lifestyle (at least is changing mine). Out of my comfort zone, making me improve everyday a little bit, enjoying every class annnnnd losing some weight lol.
Loved it! Thanks for bringing me back to a happy fitness life!
I've always wanted to train muay thai but was never really able to find a gym that specialized in that form of training. Then I found Burkes and I'll tell you, I was not disappointed. I absolutely love it. the staff is amazing, the students are dedicated and some really amazing people, and I definitely cant argue with the results I've been getting and feeling. I look forward to training there for a long time
Had a great time! Positive atmosphere and knowledgeable staff.
Burke's Muay Thai program is awesome. Classes offer a great balance of conditioning and technique work. Instructors are extremely knowledgeable and detail-oriented but also make the class welcoming for students of all levels.
I have trained martial arts most of my life and Muay Thai since 2012. I highly recommend this gym!
Burkes Martial Arts was not only a gym to me, but a second home. The gym is kept clean and is very sanitary. All of the instructors made me see and understand the true potential that I had. Burkes Martial Arts takes time to work with every single one of their students to ensure that they get better not only at Martial Arts, but also as a person. This gym deserves more than 5 stars in my opinion.
My son went to Burkes for six month's he had a very good experience with the classes. He would always come back home happy and existed. The thing that he liked the most was that the teacher would teach the students with a lot of patience and they would try to motivate the student to work on the new skill's. I would highly recommend more people to sign up for Burkes martial arts it will teach you how discipline yourself.
Best Muay Thai gym in Providence, hands down! The classes are on time and well structured. The instructors make classes challenging and fun. Along with directing the class they’ll also work to develop each individual according to their ability.
Burke’s is a great choice no matter your skill level. Highly recommend.
The sence of family at Burkes is just one of the elements that makes it so special. each member and instructor have such great respect for each other, and everyone is always willing and wanting to help you improve. All of the instructors have amazing experience and each class you are able to improve due to their coaching. Overall this is the best martial arts center in the state!
