Fortify Fight Club is the best gym in Arizona! I walked into the gym for the first time in January, a little hesitant as I had never stepped foot in a combat sports gym before. Upon entering, I was greeted by a great environment and even better people. Coach Isaiah is extremely kind and helpful, and will always work on pushing you physically as well as improving your techniques!

There has not been one bad experience I can associate with Fortify. Every single coach is very nice and welcoming, as well as all of the participants. The environment that has been built at Fortify is one that is accepting of everybody, from boxers looking to compete, families taking self defense classes, exploring MMA, getting your child active, etc.

There is truly something for each and every person, and you will walk out the gym with two guarantees: you feeling great about yourself, and that feeling of needing to return because the experience is so enriching.

Without Fortify, I would have not taken the next step in my boxing journey. Great gym!

I started training BJJ at Fortify about a month ago after a 2.5 year layoff. As a blue belt it’s common and even joked about in the BJJ community. However, everyone’s journey is unique. For me at 51 and having a demanding career it’s sometimes difficult to deal with the aches and pains and balancing training with the demands of work and family. It’s also intimidating to go back and restart training after a long break.

I chose Fortify because of Matt Barnett who I used to train with when we were both white belts. Matt was a gifted athlete and BJJ practitioner and quickly moved up the ranks and recently earned his Blackbelt. Not only is Matt talented physically but he’s talented with interpersonal skills. I’ve never met someone more charismatic and selfless. Matt is a humble leader and makes everything about his students and teammates.

I’ve been at BJJ off and on for nearly five years and I’ve never felt more comfortable in the gym and confident that I will be able to continue the journey through the remaining belts while at the same time being technically sound and a successful competitor.

I highly encourage newcomers and anyone like me looking to get back in the gym to give Fortify a try.

This place is awesome, I want to train here for a long time. Feels like building an army in there. I go to the padwork classes for boxing/kickboxing while my two sons attend the kids classes. The coaching is great and the classes are very beneficial health and confidence wise!

Coach Matt is a fantastic Jiu-Jitsu coach. He does a great job with the pacing of the class and makes sure everyone understands what we’ve went over and how to properly implement it. I haven’t taken Coach Isaiah’s striking classes yet, but I’ve heard great things from classmates and know him well enough from jit-jitsu class to strongly recommend his classes. Great gym overall with a great environment! Highly recommend!

These are by far the best Boxing, Kickboxing, Jiu Jitsu and MMA classes I’ve ever been to. I had very little experience with fighting but every class I go to, I see myself getting better. Coaches Isaiah, Savanna, Silas, and Matt are so knowledgeable and put time in with everybody personally in order to make sure everybody gets the most out of each class.

They push you to be better than you were the class before and has helped build my confidence as a fighter. I would recommend them for everybody from people who are looking to learn for the first time all the way up to skilled fighters any day of the week!

Very professional gym. The owner is great! They have something for everyone, no matter what your goals are. Great with kids also!

I signed up for the gym a few months ago and it's been the best experience. Everyone is super friendly, helpful and encouraging. All the members are there to get better so it's a great learning environment as well as an amazing place to get a workout. Coach Isaiah is the owner of the gym and he takes care of every one of his members. I have personally learned a lot from him. You should definitely check out this gym! Its affordable and fun!

Hardest and best workout of my life. People from all ages and abilities and super welcoming.
