At the time of this review, I've been coming to UKF for about three months. I do one boxing class…read moreper week as more of a way to mix up my normal workouts. When I was looking for a boxing class to attend in the East Valley, I looked at all the suggestions on Yelp, Facebook groups, and even the social media accounts of the locations. When I look for a boxing class, I want to learn technique, get a solid workout, and have fun. I'm not looking for a cardio kickboxing class or an ultra-intense boxing class for high-level boxers. I enjoy the workout, and I enjoy the movements. If you're wondering if you would fit in with the boxing classes, I would say that there are all shapes, ages, and levels at the classes I've been to. I've done drills with high schools, people that are middle-aged, and even those older than me. Everyone is welcome at UKF, and the coaches make sure you work within your level. They wouldn't partner you up with someone much more advanced or vice-versa. I purchased a ten-session package after I did the free one-day trial, and it has been a great investment, IMO. I always finish drenched in sweat, and from what I've heard, some other guys that track their caloric output are pushing 700+ calories burned in a one-hour session. One of the cooler things that I've seen is the kid's classes. The few times I've gone in the evening, it's right after the kid's classes, and these kids ROCK! They have the footwork and pack a punch! Very awesome to see kids building confidence and having fun learning how to box!

I had the pleasure of visiting this gym since I'm in the area visiting family for Thanksgiving. My…read moregym asked if I could visit and work out. Since it was okay with them, I went. This gym is located in a little strip mall in Gilbert near one of the many Fry's. :) It was a little different walking into this gym since I've only ever worked out at my "home" gym location. Upon walking in, the first thing I noticed was how large the gym was. It was so spacious and the rounds were spread out. There was even room in the middle to do trainer led drills and not run into anyone. The set up for the 9rounds is all the same. You start at round 1 which is a jump rope drill and you end with round 9 which is usually some ab work drill. Another thing I noticed about this place was that the had bands all over the gym. I was going to go straight for the bands but decided to do what was written on the boards instead. I met April and she was super nice and friendly. She watched over me but not in a creepy way...more so if I didn't understand a workout that was written or if I needed some help in general. She asked me questions about my gym and I asked her some questions as well. It's a little hard to keep up a conversation while working out but we made due. We did my trainer led drill and I loved it. I was in the red rather quickly since April made me work for it but it's all good. I mean that's what I was there for anyway. After my workout, I was putting my stuff away and I noticed that they had some awesome shirts/tanks. Although, the ones that they had displayed weren't in my size so I asked if they had any in the back. Unfortunately, they only had the larger sizes but we were able to find a different one that I hadn't noticed that was in my size. I quickly bought that one. I really wanted new wraps and new gloves but they had the same offerings we do at my gym so I decided against buying new ones. My overall experience here was awesome. As a visiting member, I received the same hospitality as if I was their gym member. It was a warming and welcoming feeling. I'm so glad I was able to get in a workout on my vacation and at a gym I love. Thank you 9round Gilbert and thank you April for treating me like your 9round family. I had the best time. See you next time I come in to work out. Thanks.

IronGloves is an amazing place to work out. They have a great combination of workout options,…read moreincluding personal training, boot camp and open gym. I started coming to IronGloves to train for an upcoming charity boxing match. In just two short weeks, I have learned a ton about proper technique while also losing a few pounds and inches off of my waist. In less than a month, I can already wear dress shirts that I had taken out of my rotation because I had gotten too heavy. I can also see my endurance improving rapidly. During my first personal training workout, I felt like I was going to pass out because I was so out of shape. Now, I'm powering through my workouts while still retaining proper form and technique. Lastly, I can't say enough about how amazing owners Joe and Renene are. Joe is a great trainer who really motivates you to reach your personal fitness goals. Renene is so incredibly approachable and always answers your calls and texts so quickly. She really works with you to ensure that you develop a routine that is rigorous, yet convenient. I will be a client at IronGloves for a long time to come!

Coach Sean has been training my brother (bro-face) in BJJ and Muay Thai for a few months and I find myself thanking him on a regular basis for the changes I see in bro-face. I think bro-face told me he wasn't confident that he would be able to defend his tiny (seriously, super-tiny) girlfriend if there was ever a need, but I've seen him slimming down around his face and stomach and walking so much taller, it's absolutely amazing. When Coach opened his gym he told me he would make an exception and let me bring my kids. They're 12 and 10 and absolutely the babies in the room since he wants to keep the gym teen and adult. I'm so grateful that he's let them in to train next to their uncle bro-face! Such an awesome opportunity for them!! I also work with Coach in my day job, and I can vouch for how outgoing and energetic he is. He always barrels through the halls like he's going to have to wrestle the next guy (or girl, he's not like that) that pops out of a doorway. Lol! He offered me a couch and chair within a minute of me telling him about a girlfriend who was trying to put her life back together. Just a super amazing, supportive guy who wants to help everyone. Now go sign a waiver and let him twist you into a pretzel!!

I LOVE JABZ GILBERT!…read more When I started looking online on where could i go to do kickboxing i started asking questions to Jabz Gilbert through Instagram and the owner Smilena personally answered all my questions and was super kind! When i started attending these awesome classes i realized that not only the owner was amazing but all the instructors here are so nice and really good! The classes are as a group and it has a circuit style but the instructors go around and pay a lot of attention to each one of us in the class! They are always encouraging us to keep going and push ourselves when they know we can do more. Jabz Gilbert is very inclusive and it has such an empowering and comfortable atmosphere! You will get the workout of your life for sure and you will love it!

Luckily, I was referred to check NAK out from a good friend. I used to train in two different gyms in San Diego and would always be nervous before stepping into any Muay Thai gym; due to the seemingly intimidating nature. While waiting for my class to start I was greeted by whoever was walking in and who was on their way out. I immediately recognized NAK was a place of integrity and respect. I genuinely enjoyed every minute of my experience, including the part when I felt like my arms were going to fall off. I am happy to become apart of this family and would recommend NAK to anyone of all ages with whatever experience. I look forward to regaining skills that I have learned before as well as learning so much more.

Maiston was warm and welcoming. He is easy going and offers lots of positive reinforcement and encouragement. We started with jump ropes, pushups, and pushing Bob. We did BJJ and learned several different ankle locks from different positions. This has always been what I wanted to learn but have always been intimidated by. He was very patient. Then we did some Muay Thai. I was spent. I would recommend it to anyone. He is young. Be has lots of experience and is a well rounded fighter with a great ability to teach.
