Hello, I am going to be at the Sensimar seaside suite in riveria maya this Tuesday (08/11/16) for 2 weeks and I am interested in coming to The Union to do some training (Muay Thai) whilst im here. I have checked the distance from the resort and its a bit of a way but do you know if their is any kind of public transport to playa del Carmen from riveria maya? Thank you
The distance is a little far. Colectivos are cheap transportation up and down the highway. Here is a link. You would also need a taxi from the stop in Playa to the gym. https://everythingplayadelcarmen.com/how-to-take-the-colectivos-to-tulum-or-cancun/
There is another gym closer to the colectivo stop that has boxing. It is on our gym guide to Playa Del Carmen.
Took the MT class yesterday and was very happy to meet Mike, he’s the real deal and has an inspiring personal story. Excellent workout. I highly recommend making your way to this gym for a class, especially if you have some training in a martial art. You will definitely learn something to take back and work on
