From the reviews
Can’t say enough good things about this gym. Been training here consistently for almost 2 years and have gotten more out of it than could have imagined. PSE has the best gym culture and it all starts with the leadership Coach Ramy has implemented.
My daughter attends the youth boxing program, and her coach (Coach Brooks) is truly exceptional. He is attentive to every child and takes the time to make each one feel seen and supported.
PSE is the perfect place for people who want to get real training without having to worry about being in an unwelcoming or judgmental environment. Coach Ramy and the rest of the talented coaches there truly care about the people they work with! It’s a welcoming and safe environment for all people no matter who you are.
I've been working with Coach Brooks James for weeks now in private lessons. I've gone from no previous boxing experience to being able to show up with confidence. My skills are improving weekly, and Coach Brooks does an incredible job!
New to kickboxing? Start at Phoenix Sports Empire
Phoenix Sports Empire 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 Phoenix Sports Empire
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.
