Phoenix Fitness & Martial Arts

Fantastic experience: I've trained at several martial arts gyms in the past and can say of all of them Phoenix has the best atmosphere. Most gyms I've seen either don't provide an adequate challenge to their students resulting in poor self defense skills and minimal health benefits, or throw you to the wolves and expect you to spar heavily with experienced fighters. Phoenix meets you where you are in martial arts by providing you with the right level of training. Whether you're looking to learn self defense or compete, Phoenix will work with you and provide a friendly environment encouraging you to keep coming to class and reach your goals.

Fantastic experience: Joining Phoenix Fitness two years ago has been the best health/fitness decision of my life and an incredible return on my investment of time and membership fees. Phoenix has my highest recommendation and support. Pros: 1) Ethan and Renee are fantastic and care about each member. 2) The cleanest gym around (and that’s a big deal) 3) Fantastic coaches who get to know you and provide individual coaching even in a group setting. 4) Great choice of classes and times that can fit any schedule in addition to plenty of open gym times. 5) Excellent equipment 6) You meet super friendly and supportive individuals in your classes - just regular people doing their best on their own fitness journey in a very supportive environment. Cons: 1) They do not pay for the new clothes you will need to buy after dropping weight (but that’s OK!)

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Phoenix Fitness. I was looking for a gym when I moved down here that offered boxing and was very happy to learn that I could do strength training at the gym too. It didn't take long for me to also join in on the Muay Thai Kickboxing classes. All the trainers and staff there are super professional and friendly. It's perfect for people who have been in the gym all their lives or just starting out. The class sizes are small and everyone in the classes are very friendly and approachable. Joining this gym was the best decision when I moved to Richmond.

Fantastic experience: BEST GYM EVER!!! I have been going to Phoenix since it opened and loving every minute of it! I had been to many different gyms prior to this one, and all of them felt too big and like I was just another member number, but at Phoenix, I am treated like family and really spoiled by the small class size numbers making it feel like I have my own personal trainer every time I go. The personal attention and assistance I receive while working out is above and beyond anything I've ever experienced elsewhere, and the trainers are so knowledgeable and professional. I always feel safe trying new strength moves and weight that may be out of my comfort zone. The trainers safely push me to achieve new goals and feel successful in the gym. I truly can't say enough good things about Phoenix!

Fantastic experience: Phoenix offers a unique gym experience. I’d been doing strength training for a while, but had never tried the major compound movements like deadlifts and squats because I’d never been trained on how to use the rack. I joined Phoenix to step up my strength training and their small group training has been perfect for me. They have awesome trainers who teach you all the movements and give you a refresher at the start of each class. It is an extremely supportive environment where the owners, coaches, and fellow trainers all support you. It is the least intimidating and yet most intense gym experience I’ve ever had. I’m excited to continue my progress and try some of their other classes (like martial arts) in the coming months. Well done to Ethan and Renee (the owners) for creating something really unique and special!
