19.01.2022 Happy Birthday Maz! Maz has been at Phoenix for 20 years! She started as a student, had some fights, worked as a coach, worked on reception, managed the gym and is a truly Phoenix to her soul. During the shut down we missed celebrating the milestone of Max's 20 year's at Phoenix. Maz has stuck with Phoenix for every move, every challenge, every hardship in her life, my life and the life of the gym. She has always been 100% committed, loyal, capable, reliable and honest. Maz ...started in Dickson when we had 10 kids a class and 50 adult members and is a big part of the reason we are still here and going strong. Maz has was never a famous fighter but I would have her in my corner over most of the fighters who weren't tough enough, loyal enough or honest enough to stick it out. She is a true fighter, a great coach and role model for everyone that has ever been to Phoenix. Sure, we dont always agree but Maz will never bullshit her around anything. A pleasure to call a friend, a tireless employee and dedicated team member. She still trains every day, often alone with no excuses, and continues to be one of the most valuable members of Phoenix we have ever seen. She is what Phoenix is all about and we are all proud to know her, work with her and have her in our team. Happy Birthday Maz.

19.01.2022 Thankyou. $8493 and still going! Ben Wilson and Charlia absolutely killed it. Wouldn't stop sparring, doing bag rounds and were going till the end. They showed what hard training, a great cause, motivation and sugar can achieve. Incredible effort and inspiring to all.

15.01.2022 Another Mt majura kettlebell session done 5th year in a row. Was a very tough 3.5hr long 10kms done carrying kettlebells with sprints, full lifts, thrusters, lunges, swings and more sprints. If it sounds like something you'd like to try training starts tomorrow for the 2021 session. Doesnt get posted up pretty much word of mouth within the people who are training the most during the whole year. A very good challenge to set yourself for the year.... See you tomorrow and maybe see you in the next group pic of the Mt majura KB session

15.01.2022 Pleasure to coach such fine Young Ladies from Girls Grammar at self protection and pass on important life lessons for their future.

15.01.2022 Why is Martial Arts fantastic for kids? Why not hear it straight from one of our little legends. Here is a small snippet of a testimonial from one of our super stars! Head over to our website to read the rest and many more. When I was 4 years old I asked my parents if I could do Muay Thai, they were a little surprised but agreed that as soon as I turned 5, I could start. I began training at Phoenix Gym in 2011.... I enjoyed it so much and was eager to improve and train every day. Muay Thai has taught me so many morals such as respect, determination and self-confidence. In 2015 I stepped in the ring to have my first fight. I usually sparred with the boys who always challenged me so I wanted to see how I would go against someone the same size and weight as me. I won my fight and then went on to win 4 more. Every time I am at the gym, I am encouraged to train hard and to the best of my ability. I am a fitter and braver person. Muay Thai constantly challenges me, which keeps me coming back to improve and gain more ability in all aspects of my fitness and skill. #muaythai #muaythaiforkids #mma #phoenixgym #phoenixgymaustralia #phoenixgymcanberra #mmaforfitnes #mmaforfun #mmaforhealth #mmaformentalhealth #mmforkids #afterschoolactivitiescanberra #muaythaiforfitness #muaythaiforfun #muaythaiforhealth #muaythaiformentalhealth #discipline #respect #workethic
