Chavez Boxing Gym

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.

Affordable. Customizable. Effective.I've been attending Chavez Boxing Gym for 8 months, training 3x a week in 1-on-1 sessions. I work with two coaches, Pete the owner and Adam aka Coach Kelly, a long-time client turned trainer/coach. I knew nothing of boxing when I began, having never even seen a fight on TV. I was nervous, intimidated, and certain I'd try it once and be too chicken to return. However, after my first session, despite feeling entirely uncoordinated and totally exhausted, I knew I had landed in the right place. Sure, the workout was hard (possibly the hardest I've ever endured) and the mental challenge even greater (the "chess of athletics"), BUT what hooked me was the warmth of the community inside. The coaches are patient and skilled. The fighters, friendly and welcoming. And the other more casual clients, genuinely supportive of your journey. Coach Pete has dedicated his life to the sport and his community and this gym is a direct reflection of all he embodies.Bonus: by coming here, you get to support a local business with a mission!*Oh, and I've lost 20lbs and shaved 2 minutes off my mile!

I am a member of this gym and proud of it!!! I been here about two years and the coaches and members are awesome!! I get a home like feeling every time I train here. The vibes here are great and I love to clown around with my coach... everyone in this gym has a great sense of humor. Anyone saying otherwise is full of crap!!! Stop being haters and posting bad stuff that’s not true about this gym or the coaches. If u can’t follow the rules or comply with directions then don’t join easy as that. Over all I will forever be at this gym until my body gives out.

I’ve been coming here for 5 weeks and every session I have with coach makes me feel like I’m getting stronger, wiser, tougher, and just better in general. Chavez Boxing gym is for people who want to strive for that extra 1% during every workout. Coach has a big heart for his clients and the community. His youth foundation is a shining example of how to influence young minds to work harder and enjoy healthy practices.

I have been to every well known boxing gym in the state of Arizona and Chavez boxing gym is definitely in the top for great places to learn boxing! It is spotless and smells clean! Chavez works one on one with his students and gets in there and spars with them as well. He teaches the basic fundamentals for new students which many coaches fail to do. This basic foundation lays the success for strong, skilled fighters. I recommend this place to anyone looking to start from scratch, tune up your skills or prepare to compete on an amateur or professional level! Great Place for sure!

Coach Chavez runs a non profit foundation for youth and he also does one on one boxing training separate from his foundation. Coach Chavez has been training my two boys (10 & 8 years old) and myself for the last five months one on one. He has been fantastic with my two boys and with me. My boys and I each train for thirty minute periods a couple times a week. Coach Chavez is completely focused on who he is training for that thirty minutes. He knows when to push, when to pull back and is great with kids. Whether you have been boxing for years or just starting out I would highly recommend talking to Coach Chavez.

My experience is with private boxing sessions at the Chavez Boxing Gym. This is a first rate gym. Pete and the staff are excellent. This is a professional environment that will work you hard and get you into shape. Highly recommended. Thanks Pete for everything.
