“This gym is one of my favorite places in the world. For a lot of people the gym is a safe haven and a place to let loose the stress and pressure from your daily life. This being an MMA gym bumps up the intensity of a normal weight lifting gym but if you're the type that needs to blow off a little bit of aggressive steam this is the perfect place. The best part about Jays is there is such a diverse range of people who train here. There are womens only classes for those who may feel uncomfortable training with men. These classes while slower paced have such a welcoming and safe atmosphere. The women at the gym really are their own village and will take you in immediately. There are competition only classes for those that are really wanting to advance and hone their skills. While these classes are incredibly intense and fast paced EVERYONE is incredibly encouraging. Just because you're in an advanced class does not mean that everyone there is a master of the craft. All belt levels are welcome and everyone is learning from everyone. The coaches here are incredible and never try to rush through a lesson just so they can check the box. A coach will spend 10 minutes of class time working with just you if you're really not getting it. Also it's Phoenix, Arizona of course it's going to be hot. If it's too much for you then go to a regular air conditioned gym and do your 30 minutes on treadmill....”
