I signed up for the beautiful strength program in fall of 2017 and have continued on to train three times a week with the same group of folks. The beautiful strength series was a fun opportunity to meet like-minded people, and is well-instructed and structured. I very strongly recommend it, even if you have some lifting experience. The facility itself is nice, the gym members are good people, and I'm happy to be a part of the community. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

As someone who is just trying to learn the basics I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable. Strength training is new and difficult for me. The trainer Matt, made sure his instructions scaled to my ability which I found incredibly helpful. Gyms around town have such different offerings/cultures so let me highlight some specifics: 1. It's a studio styled - open gym, with lots of strength equipment: strength machines, kettlebells, weight racks, sled, tires etc. 2. Cardio here primarily involves lifting heavy things rapidly. No treadmills, no zumba classes. 3. It's clean, also they can open the bay door at the rear of the gym for fresh air which is a nice feature. 4. Very welcoming to different abilities, ages etc.

The instructors are all so knowledgeable and patient! I had never boxed before I came here and I swear I had two left feet, now it's been 3 months and I feel so confident and in the best shape I've been! The owner Vicky is so kind and always willing to help in any way she can, even if it's not related to boxing! I would recommend this place to any and everyone! This community and place has been such a big step in my journey, thank you!!!

I felt bad I had to leave because I really liked this gym. I have been boxing for over a decade amateur and professionally all over the world and this the only gym where everyone is friendly and greets you, I was shocked because I'm used to tough guys and punkasses and a lot of negativity in most gyms. The owner Nick and the other lady (I forgot her name sorry) are very friendly and make you feel right at home. They have programs for beginners and Professionals. This is the only gym in Arizona I would recommend to anyone looking to fight professional out of Phoenix. Don't waste your times at other gyms, I already did that for you. Thank you Nick and everyone else at Boxout hope to see you soon

The facility, mats, changing room, restroom, and shower was immaculately clean. They had air conditioning and a water fountain. There is a separate room for changing and leaving your items in a cubby, so the side of the mat was tidy. The instructor, nicknamed Rasta, was a super friendly and funny brown belt. He was teaching a fundamentals class for white belts. But for us blue and brown belts, he showed us some extra stuff with the lapel called the "English handcuff." During the situational and open rolls, Rasta kept in mind our injuries, and found ways to control and tap us without being mean or being a bully. He showed us a lot of respect and humor. I would definitely come back if I'm ever in Scottsdale again!

I had recently signed…read moreup for their "3 classes for $30" offer after trying the studio through ClassPass, and I am also currently an F45 Chandler member. The app allowed me to book and use my first class without any issue. When I tried to book my second class, it showed I had no classes remaining, even though I believed I still had one left. I called to clarify and resolve the issue so I could use my remaining class. During the call, I was told the offer had expired after 7 days and that the expiration was the same day (Tuesday). I politely asked if a one-time courtesy extension could be considered so I could use the remaining class the next day. The person who picked up my call (Shauna Fogg) literally laughed at my request and hung up the phone abruptly before I could fully address my concern, and I did not receive any resolution. I found the interaction unprofessional and disappointing, especially when I was genuinely considering purchasing a larger class pack after this trial experience. Will NOT recommend this studio for longer term business.

Found my new gym!…read more Short and sweet: Great HIIT studio that combines cardio and strength training to give you a great workout with friendly people and a competitive environment. The deets: The classes - this is why you come! Something different every day so you always feel challenged! The stronger you get the harder you can go, so you'll always get a great workout and push yourself to new fitness levels! They have morning and evening classes and even a lunch time for those lucky enough to get away from their computer screen (I wish!) Weekends only have morning classes, so that can be a bummer.. but I get it and motivates me to start my day right! They also have a run club I've been enjoying on Wednesdays and Sundays - please come, it's free! Everyone around you is so motivating! I feel like most people have been going for a long time cuz they are in such great shape! They still offer modifications - so don't feel like you need to be an expert. I just went from pushups on my knees to 2 full body pushups! Progress right?? Everything is timed and they have screens that show you exactly what you should be doing and how much longer you have to go! This is great for those who need a little more guidance (meee ‍ ) Best part about going to f45 classes is you don't have to think, you just have to do and I promise you'll get stronger! For those looking to get in really good shape they have nutritional plans and tips on their app and that's where you can really see a change. They also do challenges where you can win cool stuff! I'm busting my butt so that I can win an infrared sauna!! This has been great because I really need the accountability! They also offer heart rate monitor tracking. This is where the competitive side comes in. If you choose to share you name, they put it on a tracker during class to earn points. Sadly I've only gotten 1st one time, but I am getting WAY better workouts and pushing myself to do more to get more points. My endurance is up and I know I wouldn't have grabbed the 20lb dumbells if I wasn't trying to win! (Competitive much? Didn't realize till I was trying to get first place!) The other piece of the heart rate monitor is showing you where you are in the level of your workout. Technically green is ideal, so if you stay there, you're at the best place to burn the most calories - so who cares if you're first? ;) The staff - we all know it can be intimidating going to a new gym/workout studio not knowing anyone to workout. Every trainer there has been so nice! They help people when needed and give great motivation! I do feel sometimes they could help with a little bit of form for some, but I also know people are in the zone and if not in an injury position maybe not a big deal? For new people or anyone that asks for help they are ALWAYS there so I do appreciate that. The location - it's perfect! Right off the freeway, right next to a parking garage and even though it might look a little small, they always have room for each station's workout. I never feel over crowded and it just flows! (Ps.. they are adding a gate for the parking garage so add time to park! It'll be $3 but heard you can get it validated for free for 2 hours) They also have 2 gender neutral bathrooms with all the perfect amenities. Lord knows how many times I've forgotten a hair tie and they always have them and bobby pins. They also have deodorant, hair spray and showers with the works! I haven't showered there yet, but to know if I needed to it's there is super convenient! So I've been going for over 6 months and although a gym can do me justice I really like the class environment! I believe they have some free first class or discount class options for your first time. Come check it out and if you're at an evening class maybe I'll see you!! I'll be the girl that looks like she's dying but with a smile on her face! Haha.. Currently doing a challenge, so I'll update with before and afters and an updated review! Thanks F45! Wish I would have bought into your franchise when I wanted to buy a gym years ago.. you are definitely doing something right!

I was prompted to join a waitlist, so I wasn't expecting to hear anything back quickly. I was pleasantly surprised to get an email from Michael Collins within the hour! Michael emailed me and asked if I'd like a tour. I let him know I could swing by that night at 7:30 PM. He replied letting me know he'd be there and asked that I text him when I was on my way, great! I texted Michael at 7 PM letting him know I'd be leaving in 20 minutes to get there by 7:30, and I attempted to re-confirm my appointment. I didn't get a reply, but the gym is close to my house, so I decided to go anyway. I arrived at about 7:28. The door was unlocked so I stepped inside. I was greeted by 3 dogs and 0 humans. The dogs seemed nice, but I didn't want to take any chances so I stepped outside and sent Michael another text saying I had arrived. I then saw that he read my text at 7:32 but he didn't reply. I waited a bit and called him at 7:42, no answer. I still waited until about 7:50 and decided to give up and go home. I ALWAYS try to give people the benefit of the doubt, so the next morning I sent Michael another email asking what had happened... I still have not heard back from that email to this day 1/15. I'm super disappointed because I really wanted to support a local gym and experience the welcoming community talked about in the comments. The ball was absolutely dropped, here.

This academy is not just a place to train it's a place where athletes are forged. Every competition I've entered, every win I've earned, and every lesson learned in loss has been shaped by the time, sweat, and intention poured into me by the coaching staff. Gustavo Dantas sets the standard. His attention to detail, pressure-tested techniques, and ability to see what an athlete needs before they see it themselves is elite. His leadership creates a culture where excellence is expected, not hoped for. Pro. Paul, Josh, Teague, and Jeff have each played a critical role in refining my game. From competition strategy, positional awareness, pressure management, and mental composure they consistently invested real time and energy into my growth. That level of coaching is rare. What separates this academy is that they don't just teach techniques they elevate competitors. They sharpen you, correct you, push you, and hold you to a higher standard because they genuinely care about your progress. I'm grateful for every round, every correction, every hard conversation, and every moment they chose to invest in me. The results show up on the mats, in competition, and in confidence. If you're serious about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu whether as a competitor or someone seeking mastery this is the place. Respect. Gratitude. Loyalty.
