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.
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.
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.
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 muay thai? 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 program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all 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 muay thai class at JAB Fitness
Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals 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.
