Chavez Boxing Gym 2952 North 16th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85016

"I met Coach Pete at Chavez Boxing and got to observe him training others. Friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. Having coached for 15 years myself here up in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, I can say, in my opinion, that this is the gym to learn how to box in Phoenix, Arizona. I look forward to coming back for some training."

"From the moment you step through the door of Chavez Boxing Gym, you will soon realize you are stepping into a real deal, authentic boxing gym. This is not a gym that teaches “boxing-inspired workouts.” It is an original amongst many phonies. However, do not let its authenticity intimidate you. No matter your fitness goals, it is a place where you are welcome with no pressure to compete or climb in the ring. It is simply one of the last great places to learn the sweet science of Boxing without getting hurt. You can experience up to your comfort level at Chavez Boxing without pressure or empty promises. Coach Chavez and his team have decades of experience and are all experienced boxers. The philosophy is creating a family environment, and from day one to day 5000, you are part of the Chavez Boxing Family. The team takes the time to greet you, and all will answer questions to anyone who asks. The love is present in what they do here, and it is an exceptional place that welcomes any fitness or experience level to grow, achieve, and exceed their goals in a safe, caring gym."

"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."

"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!"

"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."
