My initial review was after a few sessions. After I spent a year there, I left, as did most people I knew. Would not recommend.

By far the best gym I've ever been to. The staff and gym goers are so welcoming. I've been able to lose 25 pounds in a short amount of time and am in the best shape of my life. All thanks to the trainers. Most importantly, its so much FUN and challenging (in a good way). This is the gym for you if you want to get in shape, build confidence, and have a good time. read more

Bought the Groupon for 30-days of unlimited classes with a friend. Unfortunately, life and the holidays got in the way so we weren't able to attend more than one class. During our singular visit, determined that the staff is cool and down to earth and we enjoyed the class. The gym overall is good; kind of cramped on one side though with the various work areas. The price structure that we saw was pretty steep for us but they state that they offer a unique experience so more power to them. read more

JAB Fitness - Gyms Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Great fun gym to workout at. Everyone is extremely nice and helpful. Have not encountered a single bad attitude from employees or members. The facility is huge and has everything I was looking for I in a Gym, from the full size ring to weights. Multiple bag rooms and mats to practice grappling. I highly recommend their boot camp style classes. Will burn lots of calories. read more

Dear Jab Fitness, I'm not happy that I have to drive 15-20 minutes to get to you, but it is so much fun working out with your staff! I am already an active person working out 5 days a week - but your boxing, kickboxing, and boot camp classes took "working hard" to a whole other level. I was doing things that I didn't think I can do or would do - so I just wanted to thank you for giving me the confidence that I can aim higher. Sincerely, One of your Fans read more

The workout is great. The staff is rude, hurtful, and demeaning. Rather than an open, supportive environment, you are treated as a member of a fraternity, and hazed into belonging. My first time at Jab Fitness was yesterday, and I was excited to use my groupon and start my unlimited month. The two gentlemen I spoke with were both rude and sarcastic, and both made hurtful comments to me. While I'm sure the man at the front desk (the owner?) was joking, he introduced me to the man leading the class by saying, "This girl is a former personal trainer and said you've got nothing on her and she's going to own your class." I didn't say any of that, and it was an extremely awkward way to be put into a new situation. It set a horrible tone to start the experience. It is a group class format, and no one gave me any instruction as to what I should be doing. When I did one of the exercises incorrectly, the instructor actually shouted out to another student, "Hey so and so, did you see that?" referring to me, and several people laughed. I am a former personal trainer and a current group exercise instructor, and I would never treat the students in my class the way these men treat their students. You should NEVER ridicule someone who is giving their best, and as a fitness professional, I was very hurt by the thought that others had been through similar treatment and might mistakenly think all trainers are that way. It felt like I was being initiated into a fraternity, instead of motivated to work out. The second time the instructor publicly ridiculed me, for dropping my feet during an ab exercise (when I was done, resting, and waiting for instruction on the next exercise), he called me "the new girl" in front of everyone and said because of me, everyone needed to do extra reps. At that point, I broke into tears, just thinking that no one should be made to feel this way when they are doing their best at a workout. I signed up for Jab Fitness so I could learn new combos and improve my boxing skills, since I teach group exercise as a part-time job. When I told the front desk guy that, he said "oh, so you're going to come here and learn all our stuff and steal from us to go do you own thing? That's not cool." This was within two minutes of meeting him. I'm not your buddy; if you're joking (he was), it's not funny. The entire time I was there, I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. I'm very sad this purchase did not work out for me, but I do not want to return to Jab Fitness. I also hope that the staff there will learn not to treat people that way. As a fitness professional, you never who the new person at your gym really is, and what they're going through. You don't know if this is their first time ever working out, if their family supports them in their journey, if they have an eating disorder, body dysmorphia--you have no idea who they are or what they're going through. I am so hopeful that no one has had to experience what I did and been turned off from fitness completely. Not all trainers will beat you down, embarrass you, and be hurtful to get you to your goals. Most of us are in it to motivate you, encourage you, and help you believe in your own potential. If someone was working out for the first time ever and had an experience like I did, I, sadly, think they could be turned off from fitness altogether. Reading the yelp reviews, I see other have been ridiculed and embarrassed the way I was and to them I apologize and simply hope they'll give another gym with a more professional and compassionate staff a second chance. read more

As I see it there are two kinds of people that review Jab Fitness; the first is the people that want to be pushed to get the best workout they possible can get, the second is someone who needs a little more cuddling and soft spoken, suggestive incitement. So I do believe this place is not for everybody.. only for everybody that wants to workout hard, really hard and don't need a cute greeter at check in. (Because that my friends, they sure do not have!) Pros. They have classes every day, and every class I have been to has been tough, really tough.. but if you are NOT in tip top shape you aren't the only one. Everybody can do this in their own pace - you can do this workout to your own comfort level, even if the trainer will have you push that limit. Also it's mentioned before, but this place is clean. Cons. This place could be more personable, but then again if you are going to the gym to socialize - thats on you, and this might not be your kind of gym. Another thing is sometimes I feel that I am not sure exactly how to do a move (usually a kick), and the setting isn't inviting for too much one-on-one correction. Summary. Could the staff including the trainers be a little more personable; sure, I will give that to you but I came to Jab to workout and only to workout. I get an outstanding, well rounded workout here and in one hour I am done.. Also, the price is right. I am happy I went for it. read more

I was looking for a new workout and tried a kickboxing class. You do get pushed really hard, but it was based on complete ridicule. I was looking for something supportive. If you are ok with that type of motivation, then please disregard this review. But if you are looking for a more welcoming and supportive environment then I would suggest trying someplace else first. Also I had to ask around for some help and the guy in the front desk was a total jerk. I was nervous and alone and he gave me a hard time and talked to me like we were close friends. It was completely unprofessional and not a good way to make new people want to come back. HOWEVER...I was sore for two weeks and muscles I never knew existed burned like fire. The act of standing and sitting was like torture and so it's not like it wasn't effective and I know I would have gotten results if I had stayed. It just wasn't the type of workout plan that I was looking for. I would rather have slower results and not want to die every time I sit down than have fire burning my muscles every 10 seconds. read more

I totally love this place! I started going here to add more variety to my workout on the word from a friend of mine who raves about the place. I started with a Groupon of unlimited classes for a month. And I sure didn't need a month to sign up. They have a good range of classes and they recently started offering crossfit. I love the classes; I specifically love the kickboxing and boxing classes. The instructors are great and helpful. I love that they give me pointers on what I can do to better my punches and kicks. It's so fun and they'll kick your butt, but in a good way. read more

I loved the workouts. They were great. Unfortunately, the staff are not the equivalent. From the very first time I entered the gym to work out, I felt "hazed". I felt bullied, rather than supported in my workouts, and that my best was not good enough. I felt ridiculed and made fun of. I also got a lot of what bordered on, and occasionally crossed the line of sexual harassment. There were lots of sexual jokes and a sexual undertone in the whole place, along with what felt like a fear-based training. That's not a place I want to train. When anyone commented about anything, the standard response from the owners was that they bought the place so they could say and do whatever they wanted. And I suppose they can, to a point. The only male trainer I encountered here who didn't make me feel less than human was John. He's still young, and I hope he doesn't learn from these people that this is the way to treat people. It's not. If you enjoy a good workout in a toxic environment, or you really like to be put down in order to achieve more, this is the place for you. If you're a guy looking to relive his fraternity days...perhaps this is also the place for you. If you're looking for a safe, encouraging environment to work out, lose weight, or get healthy...this is not the place. read more

Want to get hot? Want your heart pounding? Then Jab Fitness kickboxing is for you. They offer the class free for those interested in joining but want to check it out first. The staff will help you out with wraps and gloves, answer all your questions and even calm your nerves. Then the music starts and you don't stop moving. As a total beginner, we were moved into a smaller room and given more personal attention. Our instructor was great, helpful and willing to work with us. I was soaked in sweat when it was over but so want to go back for more. Great job Jab Fitness! read more

If you are serious about getting/staying in shape and want a legit boxing gym, this is the place for you. I took part of a fitness challenge here for 3 months and the instructors here are very knowledgeable about the sport and care about making you stronger and getting you the results you want. They offer a ton of classes throughout the day (boxing, kickboxing, yoga, zumba, etc.) and you can definitely start off as a beginner, as I was. read more

Been a member for one month. This may be the first week that I can actually work out three times in one week. Not because of my schedule, but due to the intensity. I over did it the first couple weeks. LOL. I have not changed my eating habits and have lost 8 lbs in the last month. I have done every workout there is, except this. It is amazing. Anyone of any age and ability can do this. I have never felt better. Every workout is different. Amazing variety of "classes". These are not your average trainers. These actual skilled boxers, fighters etc. These are not just your typical trainer who puts some gloves on you and tells you to hit the bag. They teach actual technique. If you are looking to mix it up, you should really consider JAB fitness. The price cannot be beat. And they are building showers which will make it much easier to make alternative times. read more

We were able to get a Groupon for a month of unlimited classes and so far love it. We got the Groupons for my daughter and I, but she didn't like the class. Fortunately our son loved it and is very excited to go beck even on consecutive days. He even asked if we could go after his gymnastics class. That's dedication! The classes are intense for any level of participant. We both leave the gym exhausted and refreshed. Our instructors Brandon & Michael have been great. They gave good instruction and challenged us to keep going. If you're looking for a workout that will kick your tail, this is your place. If you're looking for hand-holding and pleasantries, you might look for a different place, Jab Fitness isn't for you!! read more

I LOVE THIS GYM! I am obsessed with tough workouts and JAB definitely delivers. The trainers are all different so it keeps the workouts fresh and exciting. I also really enjoy the fact that the trainers seem passionate about what they are doing and they know their stuff. While the trainers can be tough, the intensity of the workout is also on you. If you need a breather, you can definitely take one, I've never seen a trainer get onto someone for that. If you can't do a certain move, you can easily modify. They are very accommodating with all different levels of fitness. I mainly take the boxing classes and have enjoyed them throughly. Other bonuses: lots of different class times and membership cost is relatively low. It's not easy, but that's why I keep coming back! read more

I've been looking for a gym where I can get back in shape and receive some one on one training. I'm so glad I found JAB Fitness. I am an absolute beginner and was apprehensive to join a big commercialized Gym so I opted for something smaller and more intimate. Upon arriving for my free session, I immediately felt right at home. I was greeted by the owner and his cute four legged friend ( I love dogs) He gave me a tour and was super friendly and totally willing to work with me despite my super beginner level gym experience. loved the atmosphere and the classes they offer which are all included with the membership. I especially loved the boxing style workout! It was a true workout indeed. I received a special membership rate and a load of awesome equipment for my future workout sessions. I'm already looking forward to my next session! You don't have to be a professional or semi professional boxer, kickboxer or MMA fighter to enjoy all that JAB Fitness has to offer. I HIGHLY and ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECOMMEND! read more

JAB Fitness is more than just a gym. The owners and employees there are like family. They really care about your results and how to get you there. The facility itself is awesome! It is huge and there are so many classes you can take. That, and the personal training there is way better than at any other gym. Jenn Spencer is an amazing trainer, but she is also an incredible massage therapist! So, you can get a phenomenal workout in (she will work you hard) and then can schedule a massage to get your muscles working even better. The kids' Muay Thai class is pretty cool to watch, too. These kids learn discipline and focus. I will definitely be sending my kiddo for classes there over the Summer! The best part about JAB is it is really for those people who want to get stronger, look good and feel good about themselves. It is not about looking pretty for someone else (though certainly you will look much better after training with Jenn). Go to JAB Fitness. I hear they will "punch you in the face" there! read more

walked in, got the free week card, smell was legit cool guy at the desk, Ryan very well equipped gym, much more than i expected. on my way back over to have my first workout in 30 years cant wait taking my son, gonna sign him up too read more

This gym is the best gym I've ever been to! Everyone is so wonderful and welcoming. I love all the trainers, and the owners are just fantastic! I love the friendly banter that happens and it makes me feel like I can be me and they accept me for who I am. The workouts are truly amazing too! Its a fun way to get into shape and when the nutrition is combined in to exercise, there's no way it will fail. When I go in, I know I'm in safe hands. If there's something I can't do, they'll either show me how or find something I can do. If I didn't have confidence and trust in this gym, I wouldn't have recommended it to my group of ladies, and we all love everything JAB has to offer. Truly a great place to be. read more

I got a groupon for a month of unlimited boxing and it was the best month I've had in a long time! From the moment you walk in the door they make you feel like family. All the coaches are so nice! The classes were amazing. Each time I went I felt stronger and like I was getting down the moves. I never once felt lost or embarrassed in class if I couldn't get a sequence. Also the classes kicked my ass! I lost 5 lbs and definitely gained some muscle. I love how they teach boxing but also incorporate other exercises into the workout. Jason and Chris teach awesome fun classes that I always find it hard to believe how fast the hour passes when I workout with them. Highly recommend this place!:) read more

Jab Fitness in not your every day bland corporate facility run by stiff robots squawking some high profile exercise of the day. Jason & Brandon have established a very personable, fun, friendly and motivating academy of fitness. In February, I just had to see why a good friend had such glowing remarks about her one-on-one training with Jason. I was so impressed with the training and their spirit of community (sorry for the cheesy phrasing), I had to join. I've been taking a boxing fitness class that has trimmed 30 pounds off my aged frame without injury or regret. I just knew that I had a six-pack somewhere and, with direction, I found it. Never in my life have I looked so forward to waking up BEFORE dawn to go workout. Needless to say, I'm very impressed with Jab Fitness. I don't just feel that this is a great place to workout; I feel like I'm going to a friend's home to have a great time. I consider Brandon, Jason & Michael Bailey to be friends. Even though other friends don't make me do burpees. read more

JAB Fitness is my first (gym) love! Before JAB, I never thought I would find a workout or gym that I would enjoy and look forward to going to, but with JAB I have found that. I've been a member of other gyms and always become unmotivated and bored-- which is impossible here at JAB Fitness. What keeps me coming back are the amazing instructors who give you personalized attention and help, the fun but tough atmosphere, and the all of the other members who are super supportive and helpful too. I'm a pretty petite girl, but every time I go to a class I leave feeling stronger and more empowered than before. :) My only wish is to have more JAB-- more room for their growing classes and more classes offered on the weekends. Love you, JAB! read more

I have been wanting to get back in shape and a regular gym is just boring to me. Glad I found Jab Fitness through a Groupon deal. I saw it on groupon one day and said "That's looks cool and I want to get back in shape". Been going for the past couple of weeks about 3x-week and I look forward to the workouts. Tough workouts, but it gets you in shape fast! Signed up for a year-membership a few days back and for the Price, its pretty good. Pros: - Instructors have all been pretty cool and extremely knowledgable. Good trainers.. - Workouts kick my ass and I feel much better (no weight loss yet, but my weight is being redistributed to the right places). - Each class (I have done about 5-boxing and 1-kickboxing) has a different workout and I have never had the same workout 2x, which I think is great! Keeps you on your toes and makes you think each workout. - The people there have been pretty cool so far (instructors and people taking the class) and helpful. Overall, great place to get back in shape and get a consistent routine going for working out! read more

Had been gone for a year with no workouts, but the place looked brand sparkling new. So glad to get back to regular workouts.

If you want a high octane, fun, and effective workout, Jab Fitness is the gym for you. This place is always a buzz with people looking to become or stay fit. I was nervous about joining because I'm about as far from fit as you can be. I've been working out there for a little over three months and have lost about 50 pounds during that time. The instructors and the owners have been nothing but supportive of my journey. There is an unspoken respect between all that we are all doing our best to survive the killer workouts, no matter how fit you are (or are not). Each instructor brings his own style to the workouts. Having such diversity in the workouts has helped keep my body confused and my metabolism moving. This place cares about your fitness. They are available to help you meet your goals, answer your questions, and push you to your limits. Bring your wraps, gloves, and a willingness to get your rear end kicked at every workout, no matter your fitness level. Pros: Diverse and interesting instructors. Challenging workouts. Several classes offered each day. They offer personal training. Classes for adult and kids are kept separate. The offer personal training. Challenges: During the hotter days it can get warm during the workout (I guess that could be a "pro" for some). **Since originally writing this review, the A/C has been fixed! The environment might be overwhelming for newcomers, but only for shy folks. Overall, Jab Fitness offers a fun and rigorous workout that is different each time. read more

The classes, boxing, yoga, kick boxing, jiu jitsu, the fight team, and seminars are awesome, they follow the covid regulations, it's a great environment within a well equipped gym! read more

I have been a member of Jab since 2012 and have watched this gym grow up, if you will. This is not a shiny, big box gym, so if that's what you're looking for, move on. This is more of a family and friends, back porch, Cheers everybody-knows-your-name kind of place. In kickboxing class, I had an instructor I hadn't met yet ask my name, REMEMBER IT, and call me by my name to encourage me through the class. When was the last time the big box did that for you? Expect to take classes that will challenge you and leave you sore, but feeling proud of yourself. Jab has a newly remodeled weight room, amazing boxing and kickboxing classes (among others), a kids Muay Thai class, plenty of trainers to help with one-on-one training, including sparring. They have gear available for rent or purchase. They regularly have Groupons available and you can also try a week free. Boxing: because it's cheaper than therapy and friendlier than jail. read more

I'm a member and I love it here. You get the best of both worlds. A gym that offers boxing, kick boxing and boot camps along with Yoga, Pilates and Zumba. I love yoga but I like to mix it up. I was very happy to find a place that offers multiple classes without me having to pay $125.00 a month for unlimited classes. I know there is the atmosphere aspect but that's a lot of money to put out. The instructors here are super friendly and very well educated in yoga so you aren't getting less for your money. The boxing classes are intense but you can do it. They are all about supporting health and fitness. They will also teach you self defense moves if you are interested. I'm not a super fit person and I make it through the classes doing the best that I can. They encourage you to keep going and want you to have success just as much as you do. Other members are there for the same reason you are to workout and stay or get fit. No one stares, gawks or is unfriendly. We're all there working out together and that's what it's about. They aren't snooty, or pretentious. I've been a member since July. I've lost 7" off my waist, down 3% body fat and I have a better recovery time after running. read more

I went there 2 or 3 times a week for a month and I would like to say that I liked it but I didn't love it. I liked the fact that the trainers were actually fighters or former one and I was able to get some good tips out of them however being a fighter doesn't mean you have what it takes to teach others and there was some room for improvement right there. I guess it gets hard to focus attention on individuals when all the bags are full during the class but I believe it should be easy to notice who does things right and who doesn't and bring more attention there. In martial arts, it is really easy to get hurt, injured and whatnot if you don't use proper form. Sure it feels good to hit the bags however gloves and wraps don't protect 100% against wrists or knuckles injuries. I tried boxing and kickboxing classes here. I liked them both but I preferred the boxing part as kickboxing you hit with your bear shins and I have a tendency to bruise easily but this is me, not the class fault. All in all the work out was intense and I liked it. I didn't pursue there as I had some schedule conflicts at that time but maybe I'll give it another try. read more

I went in to ask about the program and sign up. I've been looking for a gym to join, and this place looked cool. The guy at the counter was douchey and didn't care about any of my questions or what reason brought me there or even introduce himself. He just slapped a clipboard down and told me to fill it out. I didn't want to provide any information before I learned what the gym had to offer. But he didn't want to hear any of that, the only thing he cared about so much was me filling out a form or turning around and walking out - which is what I did. read more

After doing boxing and kickboxing at another local gym for 5 months, I saw a coupon for Jab and wanted to try it out. I took boxing and kickboxing classes--no personal instruction. Pros: --The place is really clean. Not many gyms can say that. --It's also really big, so in all of the classes I took, there was always a bag for everyone. --It's by far the hardest workouts I've done. Harder than bootcamps, harder than the other place, HARD. --My fave instructor did Sunday morning kickboxing classes. He was the friendliest and most encouraging. --This place gave the most true instruction. By that I mean, if you really wanted to get in the ring, you could learn some of the moves beyond the basics. I learned more in one month than I did the previous five elsewhere. Cons: --The instructors never introduced themselves or acknowledged us (a simple "welcome to the class, I'm Bob, lmk if you need help" would have sufficed). --Although class is for all levels, you probably don't want to be the only one standing, huffing and puffing, while everyone else is working out. I would have a pretty decent level of fitness before attempting classes. --No showers. This is pretty standard for boxing gyms, but it does limit when you can go, if you need to shower before working. So, bottom line, if you're ready to push yourself to the next level, if you really want a hard workout, try Jab. read more

Never sign up for this place. It is horrible. They don't allow you to cancel your month-to-month membership and then they keep charging you. After requesting in writing, in person, over the phone, thru email, to cancel my month-to-month membership, they refused, and I had to block their transactions with Chase bank in order to get rid of them. And then they harass you with letters about money that you don't even owe them, because they are mad that they no longer have access to your bank account. Not worth the hassle I had to go through with them. Find a different boxing gym (there are plenty with better business ethics), or find a different form of fitness. read more

Not very friendly and bootcamp class I tried was terrible. Instructor had her shoes off the entire time and just td us what to do without showing us any of the moves. Not good for a beginner. Bought a groupon and they tried to get me to give up my groupon without trying it out for a month. They wanted me to buy a monthly membership from the first day. When I said I'd like to try my month groupon membership first they were not nice at all. Didn't seem like they wanted my business after that. Would not recommend if you want a friendly place that will help you get results. read more

Of all the gyms I've been to, Jab Fitness is one that I'll vouch for any day. The staff can be hardasses at times but once you get to know them, they are all professional, personable and friendly. The men and ladies of Jab know their stuff, and willing to give pointers, and tips, as well as be supportive towards your fitness goals. I've been going since March and always look forward to my boxing/kickboxing workouts. With their wide range of classes and times, it's hard to have an excuse to not make it to at least a workout. And, the boxing/kickboxing classes held in the afternoons and evenings weekdays are total ass kickers, you might want to puke, and your fat is gonna be bawling but the feeling afterwards is unmatched! A totally great sweat cleanse and by keeping up with the workouts, you're gonna feel good and look good! I always sweat glitter at Jab! read more

Awesome place. Great workout. Just a bit out of my price range.

I got a 2 month unlimited groupon for Jab Fitness and have been loving their hot yoga classes! Most of the instructors keep it pretty basic, with me being a newbie to yoga, is really helpful. The instructors that aren't as basic, they do give some good tips to make it a little easier. read more

Kickboxing here, kicked my a$$. Put my personal trainer to shame. Trainers were all pretty cool, and very knowledgeable. Price is cheaper than other boxing gyms. read more

I've been going to Jab for over a year. This place is great for all levels of experience. The instructors are patient (Sorry for always being late, guys), encouraging, and knowledgeable. The classes are TOUGH...and I leave feeling energized & exhausted at the same time, but more importantly, I feel like I accomplished something. I love coming here. The group classes are excellent and the other students are friendly and welcoming. It's great to workout and learn a skill at the same time. Keep up the great work, Jab! read more

Incredibly knowledgeable and motivating instructors! Very intense and fun training! 5 stars
