01 — The Story

Forged in
Thailand.
Proven in the UK.

Alex MacGregor didn't learn Muay Thai from the sidelines. He earned it the hard way — living, training and fighting in Thailand, sharpening his craft in the same rings where the art was born. 67 fights later, most of them on Thai soil, he returned home carrying world titles and a record that speaks for itself.

Unbeaten since 2017, Alex has held the WMO English and World titles and the WBC Muay Thai belt, ranking as the UK's #1 Super-Welterweight. Now based in Edinburgh, he passes that experience on — with the same discipline and respect for the art that carried him to the top.

Gorgie
Fight Gym

Home is Gorgie Fight Gym — an old-school Muay Thai club in the heart of Edinburgh, built on community and run with a personal touch. Most people walk through the door just to get fit and shift a bit of weight. A lot of them never leave.

It's owned by head coach John Craig — one of the men who brought Muay Thai to Scotland. Across more than 30 years he grew his Scottish Muay Thai Council to 44 clubs at its peak and has cornered fighters to titles from national to world level. That lineage is in every session.

Start where you are. Get fit first — then, when you're ready, step into sparring and clinch and begin rubbing shoulders with the fight team. It's usually right there that people realise the ring is within their grasp. Because we're a small gym, everyone gets real one-to-one time, so you progress far faster than you would lost in an overcrowded room. Elite coaching, proper personal attention, and coaches who've won the belts to back it up.
