From the reviews

My daughter and I just joined the Jab Fitness family this past weekend, and we’ve felt so welcomed from the start. Everyone—from the owner to the instructors to the group class members—has been incredibly friendly and inviting.

★★★★★ — Ashley, May 2025

If you're gym hunting, stop right here because I've already done the annoying part for you. Over the summer I resolutely tried out seven -- yes 7! -- different kickboxing gyms in the East Valley, and JAB was the best by a long shot.

★★★★★ — Sharon, Jan 2023

I have worked out in many gyms and took different classes. This is the BEST work out I have done and I love all of the staff. Especially Jason has been amazing. Not only does he make sure you stay motivated and learn all the right techniques, but he keeps it light and fun.

★★★★★ — Jen, Apr 2017

Great gym! John Long and Jason Ellegood are some of the best coaches I have worked with. They have lots of classes for beginners, intermediate, and advance fighters. The gym is very clean and has a variety of unique gym equipment you can’t find at other gyms. I’m happy I found Jab Fitness.

New to kickboxing? Start at JAB Fitness

JAB Fitness comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first kickboxing class at JAB Fitness

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
