From the reviews

I personally am in recovery and am thankful to have found The Phoenix at the beginning of my journey to sobriety over two years ago. It has allowed me to find strength and hope with my recovery, associating PR's and fitness achievements with my sobriety milestones.

★★★★★ — Michael, Sep 2018

Excellent. Purpose driven. Local community, recovery, fitness location. Really well maintained and like new. I drop in boxes all over and was really impressed but first time I’ve felt really touched and motivated by the purpose of the gym.

★★★★★ — Jonathan, Jul 2024

Amazing community gym. For those in recovery, this is another tool to be used to maintain sobriety. Great community atmosphere and the workouts are no joke. Donations are accepted but if you have been sober for the last 48 hours there is NO mandatory cost to any of the classes.

★★★★★ — Kristen, Jun 2021

Amazing FREE fitness center! The Phoenix offers all of its events, and classes, including Boxing, Yoga, Resistance Training, and amazing indoor climbing, free of charge. The only requirement is 48 hours without using drugs or alcohol.
