Throughout these years, Fagan continued to refine his approach to content and community building. He identified an underserved market for practical, at-home Muay Thai training resources and began developing digital products tailored to that need. His follow-along training programs, including Heavy Bag Blueprint 2.0, Heavy Bag Blueprint 3.0, and The Fighter’s Body Academy, have collectively sold tens of thousands of copies to practitioners worldwide. These products provide structured, effective routines that allow users to train independently while learning foundational techniques.
This comprehensive digital presence and product suite enabled Muay Thai Guy to cross a major milestone in 2018 with its first six-figure year in revenue. By 2020, the business had surpassed $500,000 annually, and it now generates over $750,000 a year. The brand’s lifetime revenue has exceeded $3.4 million, illustrating the viability of niche-focused, personality-driven business models within the online fitness industry.
Fagan’s success is particularly notable given the economic realities of combat sports. Muay Thai, though growing in global popularity, remains a niche sport with limited mainstream exposure compared to other disciplines like boxing or mixed martial arts. Athletes in the space often struggle to monetize their skills beyond direct competition or in-person coaching. Fagan addressed this challenge by leveraging digital platforms to extend his reach far beyond the gym or ring, creating a scalable business that serves a global audience.
“What sets this brand apart is the level of accessibility and realism it brings to the table,” Fagan notes. “I’ve never claimed to be the best fighter, but I’ve always tried to be the most relatable. That’s what helped me build trust and community around the brand.”

Today, Muay Thai Guy encompasses more than just online training. The brand also organizes Muay Thai-focused training retreats and vacations in destinations around the world, offering immersive experiences that connect practitioners with coaches and athletes in authentic training environments. These events have further solidified the brand’s reputation in both the fitness and travel sectors.
The evolution from a personal fight blog to a seven-figure digital business underscores the power of long-term brand building and content consistency. Fagan's ability to navigate between content creation, digital product development, and community engagement has allowed him to carve out a sustainable career while continuing to elevate the sport that inspired it all.
Looking ahead, Fagan remains focused on expanding the brand’s reach and refining its offerings. New training programs, additional retreat locations, and potential partnerships within the fitness tech space are all under consideration. While competition within the online fitness market has increased, Fagan's track record of credibility, engagement, and authentic storytelling continues to serve as the cornerstone of Muay Thai Guy’s growth.
