From Gürsu to F8
Gürsu is one of Konyaaltı's central neighbourhoods, with plenty of fitness gyms around it. For those who want to train a combat sport with a specialist coach, in a separate beginner group and in a gym with a cage, F8 Training Studio is to the north-west, in Bahtılı.
Getting here from Gürsu
From Gürsu, your sat nav will usually take you along Atatürk Bulvarı and Gazi Mustafa Kemal Bulvarı to Toroslar Caddesi, and from there to Atatürk Caddesi in Bahtılı. Traffic on the boulevards can lengthen the drive in the evening, which is why we've given the upper end of the time range too.
A fitness gym and a martial arts gym aren't the same thing. In a combat sport, what decides everything is the coach: at F8, Muay Thai, kickboxing, boxing and MMA classes are taught by Turkey National Muay Thai Team Coach Doğukan Siler; beginner and advanced groups are separate, and sparring is optional.
We've written up what to look at when choosing a gym as an impartial checklist: How to choose a martial arts gym in Antalya. You can put the same list to the gyms close to your home too; before you decide, come in for a free trial class.
