How much does it cost to train in Johor Bahru?
It's the first thing everyone asks and the hardest thing to find on a gym website. So here is the whole price list for Ultimate MMA Academy — every fee, in public, no “PM for price”.
The 2026 price list
Promotions run from time to time; WhatsApp us for what's on this month.
What RM250 a month actually gets you
Six nights a week, unlimited. Group classes run 7:30–9:30pm Monday to Saturday — Muay Thai, boxing, kickboxing, self-defence and conditioning — and the MMA and sparring sessions run on afterwards. Adult BJJ is included. Train once a week or six times; the price is the same either way.
Personal training
RM95 a session, one-to-one, any day by appointment — the fastest way to fix technique because the coach is watching only you. Training with a friend or two works out cheaper per head; message us and we'll quote it.
Coming across from Singapore
Singapore gyms generally sit at S$250–S$400 a month (roughly RM850–RM1,400). The night membership here is RM250. Mount Austin is about 20–30 minutes from the checkpoint, so a weekend of two sessions plus food and petrol still comes out well ahead — which is exactly how a number of our Singaporean members train.
What else will you spend?
At the start, nothing. Gloves and basic equipment are here for you to use — bring a t-shirt, shorts, a towel and water. After a month or two, if you want your own: a starter pair of gloves is around RM100–300 and hand wraps about RM20. That's it.
