Chavez Boxing Gym, Phoenix AZ

If your serious about boxing this is your place! My son has been going here for almost a year and loves the individual training he gets from coach Chavez. All levels get training from the best!

I cannot say enough exceptional things about this gym. I had never taken a boxing lesson in my life, but Coach Chavez was nothing but patient. Don't get me wrong; he was incredibly intimidating at first (he has a reputation to maintain hahahah). However, Chavez Boxing Gym has become my unconventional second home. The gym's culture of support is pervasive, from cheering me on when I get my butt kicked sparring to surprising me with cupcakes on my birthday. Coach's attitude of respect and grit is infectious. Even the 50-year-old clients abide by the harsh "yes Coach, no Coach" vernacular.

Apart from the culture, I can attest that my fitness and boxing technique has exponentially improved as well. Two years ago, I walked in not knowing the difference between a jab and a hook, but I now comfortably spar and throw combos on mitts. I can guarantee that lessons at Chavez Boxing Gym will not be easy. They challenge you, making you a more confident boxer and more disciplined human.

Been going here for 4 1/2 years and I never thought I’d make it this far and be this good and in this shape! When I started I was skinny, completely out of shape and had never boxed before. I was intimidated going in because I was so inexperienced and couldn’t go thirty seconds without getting winded, let alone make it a round in sparring (I now spar every week and am prepping for my first fight).
When I first came thru the doors I thought they might turn me away but immediately that all changed when I saw how loving and hard working everyone is and how much time the Coaches spend with every client, regardless of their experience; everyone is welcome here! In fact Coach Jesse just trained my right arm only today after I injured my left arm haha love it here.
All in all, Coach Chavez and this boxing gym changed my life when I needed it the most and I will probably never stop boxing now. This is now my favorite place in Phoenix.

Gym is commercial, coach doesn’t focus on fighters and no one here has experience but the coaches themselves. Mix martial arts should be something worth teaching well rather than trying to make profit. Do better for your fighters.
