I can't say enough about Pro Edge. After visiting a few boxing gyms, I decided to give this one a…read morego--third time really was the charm. Walking into any gym can be intimidating, but from the moment I stepped in to get information, I felt genuinely welcomed. Unlike many gyms that immediately push you to sign up, the front desk staff took the time to explain their drop-in classes so you could try it out first. That alone spoke volumes. Each coach has their own unique coaching style and knows exactly when to push you and when to encourage you. That energy carries through the entire gym and creates a real sense of community. Even on your worst day, the members become your biggest cheerleaders. It's been two years now, and Pro Edge is more than just a gym--it's home.

Pro Edge Boxing & MMA is more than a gym, it's a family…read more When I first walked in, I wasn't sure what to expect. I hadn't boxed in years and just wanted to get back in shape. From day one, the coaches made me feel welcome and pushed me at the same time. Every class has great energy, and the mix of boxing, BJJ, and MMA keeps things interesting. What really stands out is the community. Nobody's trying to show off everyone helps each other, whether you're hitting mitts for the first time or preparing for your first fight. The coaches genuinely care about your progress and make you feel like part of the team. If you're looking for a place in Phoenix to train, get fit, and actually enjoy it, this is it. Joining Pro Edge has easily been one of the best decisions I've made for myself.

As a patron who went there twice a week for a full year with my two little girls it was very…read moredisheartening to have to write this. From the beginning there was a lot of bad mouthing from a certain group of women that were making fun of this particular woman. The second incident was when "coach" Alejandra decided to stare me down twice at my children's class. Instead of talking to me about any issues or concerns Issa decided to move her to another class, never addressing me about it. As a business owner myself I know how to respect and communicate with the people that keep my business running. Would have loved my girls to be apart of the team but it doesn't seem that's what they wanted. Wish them the best and acknowledge these types of attitudes will only result in their business being affected.

Such a genuinely kind and friendly dude. He walked me through courses, pricing, schedules- the whole nine yards very comprehensively. I signed up on the spot and waited for the first class to start. There's an air of sportsmanship and camaraderie the minute you step onto the mat and realize all ego is left at the door; the main goal of everyone seems to be honing each other's skill. Everyone I met my first day was extremely nice and welcoming and very much alleviates any feeling of anxiety about starting a new journey. If you are looking to start taking Jiu Jitsu or are already far along the path and need a place to continue sharpening your skills, I cannot recommend this gym enough!

The first day you step inside, they say they will treat you like family, and they do. Each instructor goes out of their way to provide the child what they need to succeed, and truly cares about seeing your child gain confidence in life. The principles they teach go so far past Jiu-Jitsu as well. While the Women's Empowerment isn't something that works for me at the moment, I tried a class, and would recommend it to anyone! We love that we have become friends with the instructors, kids, and other families there.

They all are funny, comforting, and sooo knowledgable! It is very easy to feel out of place when starting something new like Jiu-Jitsu, especially when you are with a group who has been practicing for a while. Its easy to get discouraged and just stop showing up. Gracie Jiu-jitsu Phoenix shines in making everyone feel welcome and part of a team. The instructors are always watching and correcting to make sure movements are done properly, but more importantly, safely! Every time I leave here I feel like I just had my butt kicked, well I guess i did, but kicked in a good way! Overall, if you are on the fence about joing this location, just show up. Talk to the team and let them guide you. Its an amazing place filled with amazing people.

I'm a Black belt with thirteen years on the mats, so I've been to many different locations over the years and have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly out there. Professor Ximenes was a relaxed, friendly guy and said, "Of course!" when I asked if he was amenable to me training with his 9 am class. No mat fee, no drama about uniform. Solid jiu jitsu instruction, which I'd expect given his competition pedigree. I got to roll with his students and with him. Again: no drama, no ego. An excellent class and a great start to my day. Thank you to Professor Ximenes and his students for welcoming a fellow jiujiteiro to their academy.
