Fight Ready gym is a great great facility no matter what you are looking for. I began taking my 8 year-old last summer as something to do after school. Over the last 9 months, I’ve watched his confidence and maturity grow in leaps and bounds - not just as an athlete, mind you, but more importantly, as a school student & individual. He has participated in Muay Tai classes (with coaches Russell & Paris), Jiu-jitsu (with Heath & Thiago), and Wresting (with Frankie). The coaches are wonderful with the kids and great at instilling "No bullying" ethics, respect, and discipline. Whats more, my son has begun to construct lasting bonds and forge strong friendships with other boys and girls who attend Fight Ready ... It would be an understatement to say that he enjoys going as often as he can. Additionally, my son also plays club sports, and as every parent knows - things can get a little competitive on the field/court. With that said, I’ve watched his confidence spill over onto the field of play, leaving him observably more engaged, and never reluctant to get in on the action - even in the presence of bigger, stronger kids. As for the adult classes, the Gym does a great job making sure there are plenty that coincide with the kids program. That way, youre making great use of your time, not stuck sitting in a chair watching for 2 hours. At first, I simply started using the weight room, but I have since joined the adult muay tai, as well as the Juijitsu. And just like they do with the kids, the coaches do an incredible job pairing each student with appropriate partners (so youre matched with someone who possesses a similar skill set). In short, Fight Ready gym is truly one-of-a-kind. The facility is spotless from the weight room to the mats & locker-room. Moreover, it should be said that I also have a membership at Lifetime fitness and there is simply no comparison. The locker rooms, showers, and bathrooms are absolutely immaculate. So, kudos to the new owners who took over around a year ago. Theyve done an outstanding job.

I agree with the other 1 star review. Dont ever give this place your credit card number, as they are not up front about the terms of the contract in the beginning. I agreed to a 6 month membership and even though I stopped going after 4 months, I was willing to pay the whole 6 months because I did sign a contract, after all. However, I hadnt checked my cc statements and discovered they continued to charge me for another 6 months after that. Apparently you are automatically signed up for an automatic renewal in the beginning and I wont get my money back. Now Im out $600. I will never recommend this establishment to anyone and I only hope their shady business tactics put them out of business. *update* After going in to talk to Fight Readys new owner, Jay, he agreed to give me back $400 of the $600. What happened occurred before Jay took over as the new owner, so kudos for doing the right thing.

DONT GIVE THIS COMPANY YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER --If you plan on quitting they continue to bill you and we cant get them to stop--my son went for one month and hasnt attended a class in 6 months and theyre a STILL BILLING US!!!!! IF must give your money to these unethical people please pay cash to protect yourself. Its awful a company-- there werent enough kids to spar with and the coaches were always changing--seemed like management didnt have it together--- they claimed they were in transition because the main coaches stole all the kids and opened their own gym and almost all the kids followed--a few customers gave me the low down- --wish they would of explained all this to me before we signed up--so no credit cards, make sure theres enough kids to spar with and a constant coach who knows what they are doing --we didnt get any of this $600 later?????

After extensive research of other gyms in Scottsdale I found Fight Ready. I was training at another national "boxing" gym locally and found the classes to be uninspiring and impersonal. Fight Ready is in a class all by themselves IMO. If youre looking for a workout where you learn practical skills then Fight Ready is the gym for you. You wont find this kind of workout doing run of the mill boxing/kickboxing routines at the fitness gym. I totally, 100%, disagree with a comment below about the staff. Ive found every coach extremely nice, patient and knowledgeable, same for the members. I think that is an unfair comment given my experience over the last 7 months.

Its crystal clear that the new ownership knows what theyre doing. My 15 year old wanted to learn MMA and potentially participate in the UFC. I searched many gyms and there are a lot that just have cardio classes disguised as boxing training. Fight Ready is the real deal. The coaches are professional fighters themselves. Not only are the coaches great at what they do, they are also great mentors and role models and help bring out the best in the student. I highly recommend this gym if you want to be a amateur or professional fighter or even if you want you child to learn the values of hard work and character.

Stay away from this place...These guys know how to fight but when it comes to running a business my 2 year old daughter would do a better job. Be careful giving your credit card to this place. Also be careful signing contracts with them, make sure to cancel immediately and have the manager sign the cancelation form as well. If you are looking to learn how to fight or trying to get in shape there are far better offerings in Scottsdale. As a matter of fact if you are thinking of signing up for this place give me a call and ill pay you not to go there. how bout dem apples

Excellent. My kid 5yo, just started wrestling. Coach Adrian is amazing. Experienced, patient, great teacher, teaches each kid @ their individual level. I tried other wrestling clubs in the north valley, it was a couple dads trying to coach. It was terrible. Highly recommend to try a free trial with coach Adrian. The gym is a real true UFC GYM. Top coaches & fighters. Facility is very cool, clean, & well kept. I was very impressed. They also have a number of other kids class available

I have been to a few of the gyms around the valley, but this one is hands down the best. The facility is super clean (which is rare), the staff and members are very helpful which makes for a good experience. The instructors are world class with some of the top credentials in the country in their respected sport. These are the main things that I factor in when looking to train at an MMA gym and its why "I train at The Den" (if youve seen their commercial, you will get that last line).

Dropped in for a quick workout this afternoon. I had no idea what I was in for. This place is not just a gym, but a real training community filled with serious athletes who travel from all over the valley to train here. Despite being new, both the staff and the other students here were all really friendly and I never felt like I was being left behind or lost in the class. Il definitely be back.
