Popularized by the Gracie family, this grappling based martial art provides great mental training and an even better physical workout. Our striking program is an eclectic system that includes elements of boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, and traditional martial arts. Our youth striking program focuses on boxing and kickboxing.
This program also emphasizes the importance of hard work, respect, discipline and teamwork. Private lessons are a great way to focus on the finer details of any of our available martial arts or fitness classes. I sincerely love The MMA Lab. I started at the Lab about a year ago and they have quickly become like family.

Since moving here in 2020 I have nothing but positive and joyous experiences to share. The legendary JiuJitsu program is run by the legend himself John Crouch and our striking programs are run by UFC Vets Michael De La Torre and Robert Emerson. If you think that is awesome our No-Gi program is run by the future Hall of Famer Benson Henderson. The Women's JiuJitsu program is run by Ben’s wife, Maria, as well. Coach John Crouch has amassed a very knowledgeable and technical coaching staff here at the Lab which gives it so much more value. If you want to train with a world class family this is the

I cannot say enough positive things about this place. But most importantly, I have to commend them on the overwhelming amount of welcoming and positive encouragement my son has experienced. He is young and very new to all of this and all of the instructors here have been so patient and encouraging. The amount of positive male energy is pretty rad. It is definitely what was needed for my family. If you’re looking for somewhere to train that will treat you like family and mean it, you need to get to the Lab!

This place looks incredible! A young man named Cody gave me a tour. Top-notch equipment. Very knowledgeable staff. Overall, this is a facility I wouldn't mind visiting regularly for workouts. They have great youth programs, which is why I came in. I wanted something that I could do and my 10 yo daughter could do, preferably at the same time, but doesn't have to be. If I want my daughter to learn martial arts, I told her I would learn alongside her. 😁😎
I also like that my 5-year-old can hang out in a place called "Kids corner" while me and her older sister take classes. It's five bucks an

Recently moved to Phoenix from Chicago and was looking for somewhere to keep training BJJ and found the perfect place at the MMA Lab. Top notch facility, fantastic instructors and an all around great place to train. Even though I've only been in Phoenix for a little time, this has easily become one of my favorite places to be. Highly recommend!

Very professional environment that welcomes all ranges of skill sets, from beginners to pros. Always meet with smiles and hellos, very family friendly atmosphere. World class coaches for every discipline from Striking, to Grappling, to Cardio/Strength training . No place better in the Phoenix area to train at and without a doubt the cleanest place too!

We're from Washington State and we're in town for a visit.
It was our son's first time attending classes at the gym and they were most welcoming!
They made our son's experience, one he'll never forget.
I'll definitely be taking him back to the MMA Lab, everytime we're back in town.
UPDATE:
We were able to go back to the gym two more times during our week stay and both times were equally as amazing as the first for our son.
I'm so glad that it all worked out for multiple visits during the week that we were in town and each time they went out of their way to make sure that we felt welcome.

World renown coaching staff, robust programs for kids, and a competitive stable of UFC/Bellator/PFL talent. The Lab has best-in-class instructors for each program they offer. Their secret sauce is in treating you like family. I've always felt like everyone in the gym is directly invested in my own personal success both inside and and outside of my sport.

I was looking for a boxing gym to join and asked a few friends who did MMA what good gyms were in Phoenix. Both of them recommended The MMA Lab. I signed up online for a free trial for the boxing class. The front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The boxing class was great for beginners and the instructors were very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking for one!

Hands-down the best MMA gym in the world! I’ve been to a lot of gyms and used the free trials at all the MMA gyms in the valley, and none come close to the Lab. Build your strength and conditioning and learn a variety of martial arts from highly-rated, world class instructors! My technique has vastly improved in the short amount of time I’ve been training here. You’ll have a wide range of skilled training partners to train with in a friendly, fun environment, and get a chance to learn from the best MMA mind in the world, Mr. John Crouch. He hasn’t quite learned to say my name properly yet

The best. I've trained several other places in Arizona and New York this is by far the best. Legendary instructor's not just my opinion but the opinion of many professionals. They make this their primary training facility. While that is impressive it remains a humble family atmosphere. My entire family trains here. John, Joe, and Benson didn't achieve this by chance they work diligently to create an outstanding inclusive experience for all members. Jiu jitsu is tough picking the right place to practice is critical. The Lab (as we call it) is this place. The Lab is the total package

What an amazing place! I have been training here for months and absolutely love it! The trainers are the best and the environment is outstanding. Not only is the lab a gym it's a family. Your never feel like you have to impress or your being judged. Great teamwork and step by step training. No matter if you have history in fighting or have never even put on a pair of gloves, this is the place to be. I'm in the best shape of my life physically and mentally. I couldn't ask for a better gym.

This is one of the nicest MMA gyms I've ever seen and I've been to many, including several famous ones. The locker rooms are about the best you'd could ask for and the call coaches and facilities are stellar as expected ...it's easy to see why this team is producing some of the top MMA talent. I can't wait to go back next time I'm in Phoenix.

I wish I could say I knew something about this business. However after trying for 3 days to reach someone at the phone number posted on all of their stuff, I realized that I had no interest in doing business with a company that won't even answer its phone or return messages left on their unprofessional answering machine. I'm guessing some poor owner is relying on some lazy employee who can't be bothered.

This is a great place to train! Everyone is friendly and helpful. The instruction is top notch and there is always a welcoming positive attitude. I've been going for over a year and I can't say enough good things about the MMA Lab. Family friendly atmosphere, great instructors, and overall great people! I don't care if you've never stepped on a mat before or put on gloves before they will take care of you!
