The classes they run
“Working on my cardio by doing Muay Thai kickboxing classes with Robert has been a ton of fun.”
“I reached out to Phoenix on behalf of my son (age 6), who wanted to experience and learn boxing.”
“Robert, the instructor, is super helpful in both the beginner 1-on-1 sessions and the group classes.”
“my justification was that “it’s like a sport” since i was always training to compete and “it keeps me accountable” and also because it is a great place and great environment.”
“If you’re looking for a gym, personal training or sessions for Muay Thai Kickboxing or Jiu Jitsu, Pheonix is the place to go!”
“As somebody who was fairly new to a structured strength training program, and extremely new to boxing— I couldn’t imagine a better gym to be at.”

What members say
“If you’re somebody like me, new to gyms like this and looking for a safe, welcoming, structured, and technically sound place to start, look no further.”
“While there are gyms much closer to where I live, Phoenix's environment is worth the drive.”
“From my observation and talking to some ladies who been there over 5 years I really see the result of their strength.”
“If you’re on the fence about what gym is a good fit I highly urge to check out Phoenix because I can’t stress enough how immaculate everyone here is.”
“As a 20 year old working part time paying for my own plan, i kept having to justify to family and friends how much i spend monthly as they stare at me in disbelief.”
From the reviews
Just like joining any gym I was nervous and was self conscious of my current skill level. However at Phoenix there is a much different feel. Every time I walk in there is a warm welcoming from either my man Jackson who keeps that place rolling! Or Renee or Ethan who just feel like long time friends!
Joining this gym has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The coaches dedicate a bunch of time and effort to make sure your form is good on workouts and drills. As somebody who was fairly new to a structured strength training program, and extremely new to boxing— I couldn’t imagine a better gym to be at.
While there are gyms much closer to where I live, Phoenix's environment is worth the drive. After visiting a few gyms to check our their boxing programs, I decided on Phoenix because the atmosphere is inclusive, friendly and welcoming.
Phoenix is a great place. Working out really is fun and the people were very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is peaceful. Everyone feels like family here. The instructor was awesome and made sure you did your full workout. The owners are very nice . The front desk guy is very friendly and helpful. .
New to kickboxing? Start at Phoenix Fitness & Martial Arts
Phoenix Fitness & Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Phoenix Fitness & Martial Arts
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.
