As interest in martial arts continues to grow across America, Indianapolis's largest Muay Thai gym is expanding to meet increasing local demand.
The KruFit Story
Founded in 2018 by Jamie Bradley, KruFit has quickly established itself as the premier Muay Thai facility in the Indianapolis area. Bradley, who won the 2007 IKF World Classic Muay Thai championship and trained extensively in Thailand, brought her expertise back to Indiana to create a training environment that rivals coastal facilities. In 2016, she made history as Lion Fight Promotions' first female head coach, bringing national recognition to the local Muay Thai scene before opening her own gym.

KruFit has tracked hundreds of inquiries and memberships, revealing interesting insights about who's training Muay Thai in Indianapolis:

From Fishers to International Competition

Stafford went on to win gold at the WBC Muay Thai World Youth Games in Calgary, bringing international attention to the Indianapolis-based program.
Growing to Meet Demand
KruFit recently announced plans to add 1,900 square feet to their Fishers location, taking over the neighboring suite to create a dedicated space purely for Muay Thai training. The expansion will feature additional mat space, specialized equipment, and enhanced training areas to accommodate growing interest across all age groups and experience levels.
"We've seen tremendous growth in the past few years," explains Bradley. "This expansion allows us to better serve our community with more classes, specialized training programs, and enhanced facilities."
