Arizona Fight Camps

Let's be honest: Phoenix shouldn't exist. It's blazing hot, relies on water being pumped from habitable places, and most of the drivers can't recognize a one-way street. Walking outside during the summer is like playing Russian Roulette, and excercising puts a bullet in every chamber. 

 

That's why we have gyms. Glorious, air-conditioned, TV-laiden gyms. Given that most of us aren't fans of sucumbing to heat stroke, we decided to check out the local MMA gyms and see which ones are up to snuff. The good news is that most of them are pretty good. The bad news is most of them smell like sweat. Unless, you know, you're into that sort of thing.

 

Below, you will see a map of the MMA scattered around the valley. Those with green markers are gyms we've covered in some fashion. It might not be an overview of the gym itself, but the fighters and trainers who work there. It's the people who work there that alter a gym's quality--not the equipment.
