Welcome to the DF Gym, your ultimate destination for premier fitness training in Cairns, QLD! Formerly known as Destination Fitness, we pride ourselves on offering top-notch Muay Thai and MMA classes under the banner of The Fight Academy. Our dedicated team of trainers is committed to helping you achieve your fitness goals and unleash your full potential. At DF Gym, we go beyond just fighting classes. Our diverse range of programs includes invigorating CrossFit sessions, kickboxing fitness, and specialized training for ladies in Muay Thai. Whether you’re a seasoned fighter or a fitness enthusiast, we have something for everyone.
In 2009, Patrick and Jesse joined forces to create Cairns’ first Kickboxing Fitness, Cross Training, and Personal Training facility at our Anderson Street location. With a small crew in the beginning of about 10 regular clients, many of whom are still with us today, we had a timetable of 8 classes and worked hard to deliver the best group fitness classes we possibly could. As active fighters, it was a natural progression for us to expand our timetable and offer Muay Thai classes, leading to the development of Cairns’ best Muay Thai facility with a full-size boxing ring, weights area, and group fitness areas.
After years of growth and community building, Patrick took over as the sole owner in 2018 and rebranded the gym from Destination Fitness to DF.GYM in 2019. With approximately 30 classes per week catering to everyone from kids to professional fighters, we have established ourselves as one of Cairns’ biggest fitness communities and most successful Muay Thai gyms. Our philosophy revolves around inclusivity, hard work, and creating an environment where all members and visitors can train hard and hang out with our crew.
