Sneak Peek: Our New Social Corner
A 3D rendering of Muók’s new hangout space
One of the biggest reasons we outgrew our current space has nothing to do with class size, bags, or equipment. It’s the simple fact that people don’t just come to Muók to train — they come to be here. They show up early. They hang around after class. They sit, talk, study, stretch, laugh, and sometimes stay so long we joke that Muók might as well be a second living room.
So when we started planning the new Georgetown location, we knew we needed to build a space that reflects the way our community actually uses the gym. Not just a place to sweat… but a place to exist.
That’s where this hangout space comes in.
The rendering you see above is a first look at what will become one of the most special parts of the new gym. We’re creating a loft-style deck that overlooks the main floor — a clean, bright workspace where members can settle in before training, catch up on emails, or just enjoy a quiet moment between sessions. It’s open and airy, but still feels tucked away enough to focus. Think of it as the “Muók mezzanine,” a calm perch above the energy of the gym.
And underneath that deck? That’s where things get cozy.
The lower lounge will be the spot where people naturally gather — the couches, the arcade machine glow, the kind of space where someone says “I’ll just hang out for five minutes” and ends up staying for an hour. It’s warm, comfortable, and intentionally designed to make the gym feel like home. Before class, you’ll see people stretching here or talking strategy for sparring. After class, it’ll be where gloves come off, stories get shared, and friendships get deeper.
Around this area you’ll also notice the beginnings of our recovery and physical therapy wing, along with lockers and small conveniences that make day-to-day training smoother. Nothing is accidental in this new layout — everything is positioned to make your time here easier, more relaxed, and more enjoyable.
This hangout space is just one part of a much bigger upgrade, but it captures the heart of what we’re trying to build: a gym where people truly want to be, even when they’re not punching anything. A place that supports work, recovery, conversation, and community just as much as it supports training.
We’ll be sharing more renderings soon — the mat space, the expanded strength area, the recovery room layouts, all of it. Each piece brings us closer to opening the doors to a home that was built with you in mind.
More soon.
Root Strength - Proposed Schedule
Root Strength Class Schedule
Hey everybody,
We have some exciting updates for you. But first, let’s address some questions that everybody has been asking:
“My membership rate stays the same, but will my access stay the same?”
The answer is unequivably yes. If you had an unlimited membership with us before January 1st, not only does your rate stay the same, but your access also stays the same. Unlimited means unlimited—for both Muók Boxing and Root Strength. You are essentially paying one membership fee for two full programs.
We truly appreciate you and want to make sure you feel taken care of—your loyalty and dedication mean everything to us, and this is our way of saying thank you.
We know many of you have been waiting for this, and here’s some exciting updates—a clear, structured, and expanded class schedule designed to help you move better, get stronger, and train smarter. Our updated schedule offers a variety of sessions to suit every goal, whether it’s building strength, boosting endurance, improving mobility, or starting your Saturday morning with purpose.
Here’s a closer look at the types of classes you’ll find at Root Strength. This is not the final version, as we continue to refine and adjust it based on feedback and operational flow—but you should expect something very similar:
Root Strength - Proposed Schedule
Root Strength:
Root Strength focuses on progressive resistance training aimed at increasing baseline strength, improving neuromuscular coordination, and building durable, well-rounded musculature. Sessions center on foundational compound lifts—such as the squat, deadlift, hinge, press, and row—using equipment like barbells, kettlebells, dumbbells, and other functional load implements. Expect deliberate pacing, solid technique, and targeted strength progressions designed to reinforce movement quality and develop a strong, resilient base.
MetCon:
This metabolic conditioning (MetCon) session is designed to elevate athletes into a sustained high-intensity work zone, targeting improvements in VO₂ kinetics, lactate threshold, and neuromuscular efficiency. By combining multi-modal functional movements performed with minimal rest, the workout increases total metabolic demand, promoting both aerobic oxidative adaptation and anaerobic glycolytic capacity. The structure challenges the body’s ability to clear lactate, maintain power output under fatigue, and efficiently transition between movement patterns that recruit varying muscle groups. Athletes should expect elevated heart rates within 80–90% of HRmax, rapid energy system turnover, and significant stress on local muscular endurance.
Mobility:
Mobility is a low-impact class that blends dynamic stretching, controlled movement, and stability work to help you move better and feel better. You’ll increase flexibility, improve joint function, and build strength through your full range of motion. This class serves as an ideal complement to higher-load sessions like Metcon and Root Strength, enhancing movement quality, improving recovery, and ensuring your body can perform optimally under intensity and load.
HIIT:
HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) utilizes structured work-to-rest ratios to improve VO₂ max, anaerobic capacity, and metabolic efficiency. Through repeated high-output intervals on equipment such as the rower and Assault Bike, athletes stress both the aerobic and anaerobic systems while maintaining technical control. The class promotes rapid power generation, improved cardiac efficiency, and better fatigue tolerance—ideal for anyone looking to elevate conditioning and performance.
Rise n Grind:
Rise n Grind is a focused morning training session designed to activate your body, elevate your metabolism, and prepare you for a productive day. The class combines functional movement, light-to-moderate intensity work, and mobility-focused drills to help you move efficiently and consistently. It’s a solid, effective way to start your Saturday morning with purposeful training.
Our on-site coffee partner, Bệt (which means “sitting near the ground”), will be serving authentic Vietnamese coffee, available either complimentary or at 30–50% off for Rise n Grind participants. More details on the coffee truck to come. Start your Saturday with structured movement, good coffee, and a steady push toward your goals.
Each class is designed to fit your goals and your schedule, whether you’re an early bird, weekend warrior, or focused on recovery. Check out the proposed Root Strength schedule, try the combination that works best for you, and expect updates as we continue refining our offerings. We can’t wait to see you in class, moving stronger and smarter every session.
New Pricing Starting January 1st, 2026
Hey everybody,
We have some big updates to share with you, and we want to make everything as clear as possible. Before anything else, here’s what matters most: all current Muók members will be automatically grandfathered into their current rate. Your price will not change on January 1st, 2026, or anytime afterward. As long as your membership stays active, you will always keep the rate you have now. You helped build this community, and taking care of you comes first. If you’ve been thinking about joining or reactivating your membership, now is the perfect time. Sign up before the new year to secure your membership at the current rate and be part of everything coming in 2026 — before the new pricing structure takes effect.
Starting January 1st, 2026, our updated pricing and program structure will apply to all new and returning members — and these updates reflect the growth and direction of our gym. Over the past year, our Strength & Conditioning program has expanded far beyond what we initially imagined. It has its own identity now, so we’re officially introducing Root Strength, our dedicated strength and conditioning program built to stand alongside Muay Thai as its own complete training option.
We’re finalizing the full Root Strength schedule right now, but here’s what you can expect: classes running throughout the day, from early mornings at 5:00 AM all the way into the evenings. On top of that, we’re adding Open Gym access all day, giving you the freedom to come in and train on your own anytime the gym is open.
And with Root Strength becoming its own program, we’re introducing more flexible training options for people who aren’t ready for a full membership but still want to drop in:
$30 per drop-in
$50 day-pass (unlimited Root Strength for the day)
$100 unlimited week pass
These passes apply only to Root Strength, not Muók Boxing, our Muay Thai program.
With the expanded offerings and schedule, our membership structure for new and returning members (starting January 1st, 2026) will be:
Unlimited Muay Thai or Unlimited Root Strength: $200/month
Unlimited Access to Both Programs: $250/month
Limited memberships (2 classes/week) will no longer be offered.
We will be offering student and service-based discounts under this new structure. Students can train for $200/month, and those maintaining a 3.5 GPA or higher will receive a discounted rate of $185/month (verification required each quarter or semester). Military personnel, teachers, and healthcare professionals will receive a service-rate starting at $230/month for unlimited access to both programs.
For new members who join on or after January 1st, 2026, we’re also launching a new loyalty rewards program built to reward consistency and long-term commitment. This program does not apply to current members — your rate stays locked for life as long as your membership stays active.
Here’s how the loyalty system works:
For members with Unlimited Access to Both Programs:
After 160 check-ins or 12 months of active membership, your rate drops by $10/month.
After 320 check-ins or 24 months active, you get an additional $20/month off (total of $30 off).
After 480 check-ins or 36 months active, you get another $20/month off (total of $50 off the base price).
For members on an Unlimited Single Program:
After 480 check-ins or 36 months active, you’ll earn unlimited access to the other program at no extra cost.
After 320 check-ins or 24 months active, Military personnel, teachers, and healthcare professionals will earn unlimited access to the other program at no extra cost.
To keep things fair and consistent across the board, check-ins only count when you attend an actual class — Open Gym does not count toward loyalty milestones. Repeated late arrivals, no-shows, or failing to sign up for classes may result in check-in deductions. Intentional attempts to game the system — such as checking into multiple classes but only attending one — may lead to larger deductions or, in extreme cases, membership termination. The goal is to reward the people who genuinely show up and put in the work.
These updates reflect who we’re becoming as a gym. We’re growing, expanding our schedule, adding more coaching, creating more opportunities, and continuing to build a place for you to improve both physically and mentally. But we’re doing all of this while honoring the people who helped build Muók into what it is today — which is why your current membership rate stays exactly the same, forever, as long as your membership stays active.
We’re excited for the next chapter and can’t wait to share more, especially once the full Root Strength schedule is finalized. Thank you for growing with us, showing up day after day, and trusting us with your training.
The Space Is Taking Shape
The new Muok facility is starting to feel real - the scale of the room hits you the moment you walk in. The photos say it better than words. We even parked a truck inside so people can get a sense of how wide open the space is. This is the foundation for what will become our training home, and seeing it this empty right now makes it easier to picture how far we can take it.
The upstairs section is under construction at the moment. That level will eventually become our lounge and wellness hub. The plan includes physical therapy services, a recovery area, sauna, and cold plunges. we want this to be the place where everybody can hang out, reset, and take care of their bodies before and after training.
We are also working with an interior designer to bring the full vision to life. The goal is simple: build a space where people feel welcomed, positive, and motivated the moment they walk in. Clean layout, intentional flow, and a vibe that matches the culture we want to keep growing.
If you have been thinking about joining, it is not too late to sign up for a free trial and experience Muok before our membership pricing changes. We want to give people a chance to secure the current rate before the upgrade of the new facility is fully reflected in our pricing. Early supporters deserve that opportunity, and this is the right moment to lock it in.
Progress is steady and each week pushes the project forward. Flooring, layout planning, and the first equipment zones are next. We will keep sharing updates as we move closer to opening day.
A New Chapter: Muók Boxing Is Moving to Georgetown
It all begins with an idea.
Hey everyone,
We’re thrilled to announce the next big step in our journey — Muók Boxing is moving to a brand-new home in Georgetown starting January 1st, 2026!
When we first opened our doors in West Seattle, our goal was simple: build a space where people could train hard, connect deeply, and grow stronger — not just physically, but as a community. Over the years, we’ve done exactly that. Together, we’ve built something special. And now, it’s time to take the next step.
Why Georgetown?
We’re excited because our new location is only about five minutes away from our current West Seattle gym, making the transition easy for everyone while offering major upgrades in space and accessibility.
Georgetown itself offers a unique vibe — once an industrial hub, it’s evolved into a thriving, creative neighborhood with great local bars, cafés, craft breweries, and restaurants. It’s lively but not overcrowded — a perfect middle ground between the energy of Ballard, Fremont, or Capitol Hill, and the more grounded, community-focused feel that fits who we are.
Another plus — the new space is easier to reach by public transportation, with several major bus routes and transit connections nearby, making it even more convenient for members who rely on buses to get to the gym.
This move gives us the best of both worlds — a bigger, better facility in a neighborhood full of character, creativity, and convenience.
From 2,700 sqft to 9,500 sqft — Growing With You
Our new Georgetown facility will be 9,500 square feet, more than triple the space we have now. That extra room means more classes, more equipment, more open gym time, and more opportunities for all of us to train and thrive.
And don’t worry — while the space will be much bigger, we’re keeping the same high ceilings and open, industrial feel that gives Muok its character. The aesthetic you love isn’t going away — it’s only getting better. Expect the same Muok energy, just in a larger, more refined space built to support the next stage of our growth.
Roots Strength Becomes Its Own Program
What started as our “strength side” has become something powerful in its own right. With the move, our Strength Program will officially launch as Roots Strength — its own full program with a dedicated space, expanded schedule, and greater focus on strength, conditioning, and athletic performance. Roots Strength will be led by Andy and Joe, both licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy, who will guide the program with a holistic and evidence-based approach. Their vision is to help every member achieve their fitness goals while keeping safety, injury prevention, and longevity at the core of training. Expect structured progressions, expert coaching, and programming that blends science, movement quality, and performance — designed for every level.
A Better Experience, Inside and Out
We’ve listened to everything you’ve asked for over the years, and the new space delivers. Our Georgetown location will offer:
More parking and easier access right off the highway
Locker rooms and showers so you can train and head straight to work or home
Kid-friendly areas so parents can train without worry
And a whole new emphasis on recovery and rehab, featuring cold plunges, saunas, and physical therapy services
Thank You for Being Part of This Journey
This community is what makes Muok what it is. To every member who has supported us, shown up day after day, and helped shape our culture — thank you. You’re the reason we’ve grown to this point.
To show our appreciation, all current members will be grandfathered in — your membership rate will stay the same after the move.
And for anyone who joins before December 31st, you’ll also lock in our current rate before pricing adjusts in 2026 to reflect our expanded classes, programs, and amenities.
What’s Ahead
In the coming weeks, we’ll share more details about:
Our opening timeline
The new class schedule
Updated membership options
Our new Loyalty Rewards Program, where membership rates decrease the longer you stay committed
This move isn’t just about a bigger gym. It’s about creating a space that truly matches the energy, ambition, and heart of our community — a place where we can train harder, recover smarter, and continue to grow together.
Thank you for being part of this story — and for helping us write the next chapter.
We can’t wait to welcome you to our next Chapter: Muók Boxing - Georgetown.
A Special Thank You to Our Coaches
Before closing, we want to take a moment to recognize our coaching team. You’re the ones who keep this place running day in and day out — pushing members when they need it, keeping things light when the energy dips, and holding everyone to the standard that defines Muok.
Your consistency, professionalism, and genuine care for the people you train are what make this community special. You’ve built a space where hard work, laughter, and growth all live side by side — and that balance is what makes Muók what it is.
