I dropped in on a jiu jitsu class while traveling and Morgan and his team were extremely welcoming. I would recommend this gym to anyone in the Flagstaff area.
Posted 1 year agoInsurgent Fitness has been the best gym and martial art place I have ever trained at. They are all so kind not just the staff, but the other students as well. I couldn’t say enough about Insurgent as there has been no yelling and everyone is willing to help walk you through the drills. Not to mention the deal of what you get for a membership is $155 for BJJ + 24 hour gym access and that means unlimited BJJ classes. Best decision joining them and I wish I would’ve joined them sooner. They are super cleanly and you also get a full weightlifting gym and for the added bonus there is a cold plunge and a sauna.
Posted 1 year agoGreat atmosphere and awsome people! Little over 2 weeks out from a pro fight and all I can say Is I'm very glad I chose this gym to for my stay in town! Works for all levels!
Posted 1 year agoI joined Insurgent about 8 months ago. I could not be happier with my choice to start. This is an amazing group of very welcoming people committed to improving their martial arts skill and physical health. The gym is one of, if not the nicest gym in town. It's has all the equipment you could want and plenty of space. To me the martial arts classes are what really make insurgent special. They run great classes that will teach you cool technique and challenge you physically. Almost all of folks that routinely show up for classes are incredibly nice and welcoming which makes it easy to get into a routine of going.
Posted 1 year agoGreat staff with amazing equipment, I highly recommend!
I was visiting Flagstaff from San Diego and looking for a gym to work out in. I found Insurgent Fitness in a google search and couldn't be happier. The gym had everything I needed to stick to my workout routine. I would definitely go back!
Quality rounds with quality people
My 5 year old boys are getting a lot out of jiu-jitsu the coaches are absolutely amazing. Not only teaching jujutsu, but teaching them good sportsmanship, and as the sign in the gym says, sometimes they win, and sometimes they learn
We love a hassle free day pass. Gym is simple but has the essentials. Glad I have a spot to drop in at when I’m in Flagstaff!
This place has a really good community. Lots of fighters from all skill levels and a diverse group of both men and women! I like that coach Morgan keeps it real without being rude and the teaching style works for me. I’d say the program is very much oriented around being self sufficient but never in a way that’s isolating. Really love this gym!
24 HR Access, Cheap Day Passes, Huge Weightlifting Zone. What more could you ask for.
Awesome place to work out! Very clean and well kept, great atmosphere.
Stopped in for a jiu jitsu class while I was in town for work and had a great time! Coach Morgan was a great instructor and the other students were very welcoming. Overall good atmosphere here.
I love this gym!
Been to all major gyms in flag. This is by far the best.The value of what you get here is unmatched. Can’t recommend it enough
I went to a couple of BJJ open mats here while visiting Flagstaff. It's a clean, welcoming gym with a good mix of skill levels. Sunday open mat is especially fun (lots of people rolling). I'll be back soon!
This is a great place to train jiu jitsu and is great for new students. There is a great curriculum setup and the head coach is very receptive to member feedback. Best No-Gi bjj in town by far!
Great place to get in a solid workout in flagstaff. Was in town for a week and used the facility almost every day. Have everything you need to get in a solid workout from free weights to cable machines to platforms. All types of barbells and plenty of room. I will be using this place again when I am in need of a gym in flagstaff.
Lovely
I've been training BJJ and lifting at Insurgent for just over a year and it's been a fantastic place to train. The gym is clean with all the gear you need to get a great workout, and the BJJ classes are excellent with either Coach Morgan or Cody. I trained for a year or so at a different gym prior to moving to Insurgent, and the skill level on the mat, intensity of rolls, and overall instruction is so much better than my previous spot. I also love that the gym offers noon classes as well as evening classes for BJJ and I've heard great things about the Muay Thai from friends who train both Jitz and striking. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a class!
We love this gym. The coaches and community are welcoming, supportive and encouraging. The facility is well maintained and very clean. 10/10
Perfect place to get some great strength training in! Love it!!
Amazing gym and everyone is very friendly. Worth every penny!!!
Very convenient gym. We were able to get in for a hard training session while traveling. The digital access is awesome. Equipment is top quality, no nonsense for strength training. We also liked the light and space. It's a comfortable, recommended gym!
Trying Jiu Jitsu for the first time and the class is very fun! Everyone is very kind and helpful! You can come in with no knowledge and just dive in! Insurgent is so welcoming and is a great place to start! The gym floor is also well equipped and spacious! I am enjoying this facility a lot and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great gym with really unique amenities (cold plunge/sauna/24 hour access)
Great facility and people! I was in town for vacation and needed a place for me and my son to train..very high level men and women and everyone was super welcoming and the atmosphere was like family will definitely be back if I'm in town! Ossss!
It is so hard to find a gym while vacationing and I was so thrilled with how easy it was to get a 7 day pass here and use it right away. I wish more gyms were like this!!
After my previous gym closed, I joined Insurgent and could not be more pleased. If you are a woman like myself and want to try your hand at a sport like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for the first time, come here!! I was immediately welcomed into the community and Morgan is a wonderful coach. The gym equipment is in great shape as well.
Staff are experts and the facility itself has every amenity you could think of (and is always clean). Awesome culture among the regulars and remarkably welcoming to newcomers. Big shoutout to Morgan!
Insurgent fitness is a fantastic facility. I'm an Olympic weightlifter who visited from out of town, and this gym had everything I needed! Spacious, clean and great equipment. I also really appreciated the remote access app which was helpful for an out of towner to use.
At first I came here because it was the cheapest day pass location I could find but it instantly became a gem location for me. I book trips to flagstaff just to workout here and get away for a bit.
2 years in. About to be 2 fights in. Great training. Coach Morgan has been more than a coach to me. All the other instructors are very knowledgeable and want to see you grow and get better! Great gym atmosphere. Insurgent 4 Lyfe! 👊🏿
I’ve been coming to this gym on and off for the past couple years and there’s a reason I came back! There’s a sense of community in all aspects of this place! Morgan has always been nothing but helpful to me and is also very knowledgeable when it comes to Martial Arts! If you’re on the fence about this place, I would figure out a way to meet with the staff for a tour or just pull the trigger on a day pass!
Super clean and friendly gym. I love the equipment and the atmosphere.
Good gym. Not busy usually.
Been participating in the BJJ program here for about 4 month and its been fantastic. Awesome coach and great crew thats really nice to beginners.
Great environment and great gym. Personal are very informative and great personalities at this gym
Stayed in Flagstaff for a few months, and found Insurgent Fitness - I got myself a gym membership, and put my girls in their Kids Brazilian Jiu-jitsu class for a great price! Not only that, but seeing how the BJJ coaches teach, discipline, and build relationships with the kiddos was the cherry on top. My kids tend to be apprehensive and bashful, and with each coach having different personalities and skills, my kids were able to feel comfortable, and settled in faster than with other programs we have tried. Can't say enough about the love the coaches have for the sport, and it shows through their coaching the kids.
I stopped in to try BJJ at Insurgent and I must say I was impressed. The facility is airy and very clean, and the culture was welcoming (I'm not a typical-looking student, neither male nor young). My two training partners were kind, helpful, and patient, as was Coach Morgan. His teaching ability is outstanding; he seemed to pay attention to every individual and was able to run a class full of students single-handedly. I really like the structure they have, where you can really sink in to a technique and its variations and defenses for a week at a time. There seem to be more female students here than other clubs I've visited, and the guys were friendly and respectful. They have lots of classes to choose from. They're casual in a good way, and exclusively no-gi. Definitely check them out!
Was in Flag in June and July for school. Insurgent is an excellent and very welcoming gym, especially being an out of town female new to jiu jitsu. Can’t wait to be back next summer. Must stop by if you’re in the area!!!
The Muay Thai classes allow for a great balance between learning technical skills and practicing sparring. I came in as a complete beginner, and Morgan as well as the class members made me feel welcome right away. Morgan is a great instructor, and insurgent is a wonderful supportive community of positive, hard working athletes. Also, the classes are an amazing workout!
Insurgent is the epitome of a top-tier facility with an exceptional staff. I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I am with Morgan and his team. Walking into Insurgent feels like stepping into a throwback weight room, but don't be fooled by its old-school charm - they have all the cutting-edge equipment necessary to meet your strength and fitness goals. During our visit to Flagstaff for altitude training camp, my son and I were in need of a gym for our strength training regimen. Luckily, we stumbled upon Insurgent and their 24-hour facility. From the moment we met Morgan, we knew we were in good hands. He was incredibly down to earth and went above and beyond to ensure we were set up with a membership that perfectly suited our needs. When unexpected circumstances arose, and we had to cut our camp short and head back home to the east coast. Morgan, being the exceptional business owner he is, swiftly accommodated our early cancellation request. His integrity and willingness to work with us in a difficult situation truly exemplify his stand-up character, something rarely seen in business anymore. I implore anyone reading this review to make it a priority to check out Insurgent. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. And when we find ourselves back in Flagstaff, there is no question that Insurgent will be our first and only choice for all our strength training needs. Thank you, Morgan and the entire Insurgent team, for exemplifying excellence in every aspect of your facility and operations.
Morgan and his team have given my son so much confidence and autonomy in the BJJ youth program. His curriculum is motivating and progressive, he’s passionate about training and teaching. It has been amazing watching my son and really my whole family thrive at this gym.
Best gym in town. 24/7, great equipment, never sit around for a squat rack or platform, and overall great culture.
Awesome gym to be a part of. The equipment is high quality & diverse. The people are friendly (rare at a gym!) & hardworking. An inspirational place to focus on fitness! Thanks, Morgan & Michelle.
The kiddos jujitsu class is outstanding; the coaches are extremely knowledgeable, and work hard to instill correct techniques, individual discipline, as well as, working as a team.
My 4 year old needs some strong male roll models in his life. Insurgence is the perfect place for him to interact with kind gentle but firm coaches. He loves it and so do the rest of the kids
Was in town for work, and needed a gym. Their 1-week pass was affordable and exactly what I needed, check in was seamless. Hope to visit next time I’m in Flag. Thanks!
Pretty quiet and calm gym, has nice power lifting equipment, the staff is nice
I was visiting Flagstaff and set up a day pass to use the facility. They were very helpful and went above and beyond to answer my many questions. The gym is awesome, great for weightlifting/strength training, strongman, etc… will definitely return next time I’m in the area.
Great gym to get a great workout in. In town for business so I'm fortunate to have this place. I'm glad that it's open 24 hours because I workout early in the morning and the price is very good for a visitor. I highly recommend
The most badass gym in flagstaff. If you’re looking to better yourself, and accomplish something. this is the gym to do it at.
I have been training here for a year now and love it. Family friendly environment with a great community or people. Highly recommend this place for some who is scared to start training martial art with no experience. The 24 hour access is the best because I can train after I get off work at 7. The cold plunge and sauna are great and private.
Insurgent is hands down the best gym in Flagstaff! Morgan and Michelle not only have created an amazing space with great equipment, classes and personal training but they've also built a welcoming environment. They truly care about their members and you'll see that show through in their facility. I highly recommend it!
Insurgent isn’t just a gym- it’s a second home. It’s a true melting pot of personalities, walks of life, and hardcore athletes. My wife, son, and I all train Jiu Jitsu here and I can’t articulate how important it is in our lives. We have built genuine connections with people and plan on never leaving. Morgan and Michelle are amazing coaches and friends. If you’re on the fence about training, then hop into this friendly and competitive atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed.
Insurgent Fitness is a positive, empowering, and welcoming environment that I am so happy to have started the online training program with! Michelle went above and beyond to take time to do some 1-on-1 training to ensure I felt comfortable and used the correct form to avoid hurting my body. I used to avoid the weights rooms when at the gym but Michelle ensure you feel confident and excited to start her online program! Morgan and Michelle have done an amazing job providing incredible programs, classes, equipment, and making sure everyone feels welcomed! Even the furbabies
Insurgent cares. They will change your body and your mind.
We absolutely love Insurgent and the family like atmosphere! My kids and husband both do Jiu Jitsu here and we love the coaches and the amazing flexible schedule! Could not ask for a better experience!
Humble group of fighters that make it comfortable to get the fundamentals down, it’s a great set up on gym floor and open Matt training section.
I’ve been training jiu jitsu here for about two months now and have really enjoyed it so far. There’s a solid group that regularly rolls here, and it’s not a massive class size which I appreciate. Good mix of different skill levels, so I get the opportunity to not only practice with people with similar experience to mine, but also learn from the higher belts. It’s a friendly environment, but you will definitely be pushed to improve.
I’m so glad I joined this gym a month ago. Jiu Jitsu is so much fun and run well, the Muay Thai drop in also taught me a lot and was a blast. I love the gym and there’s plenty of squat racks and Olympic lift opportunity, beyond a slight lack in bodybuilding machines it’s got more than enough if you know what you’re doing and the team provides constant fun and inspiration
Insurgent is a great gym with a welcoming atmosphere. We didn't know what to expect as we had never trained at a gym before, but we were so impressed! We were especially grateful to get lined up with Cameron as our personal trainer! He helped us feel comfortable with the equipment and thoroughly explained the proper form. Because Cameron was always encouraging and patient our strength really increased! Definitely give him ten stars!!!
Absolutely the best gym in town. If you are looking for a place to lift they have the best equipment in town (competition grade). If you are looking for a martial arts room look no further...super welcoming and beginner friendly but very high level training and instruction.
I love this gym, I’ve been a member for nearly 3 years, I’ve participated in the BJJ program as well as online personal training/nutrition. Very welcoming supportive crowd, and the work that I’ve done with the online personal training and nutrition has paid off in a big way. I’ve been doing it for just over a year, and have lost over 100 pounds. Michelle is great at coming up with a program that is not only effective, but easy to follow. If you work with her, and actually put the work in, you have no choice but to succeed.
I truly love this gym! Never crowded, and love being able to come whenever I can! Also Morgan and Michelle are always so helpful!
Good weight room. Good mat space. May have gotten choked out more than once, but it’s good character development. 10/10.
Love this gym. Lots of racks, barbells, free weights, dumbbells, and all the stuff to make your weak a$$ get strong. No bs, good people. If you’re a dbag go somewhere else.
👍
This gym has everything you need and some of the nicest equipment I’ve seen. It’s also nice since you can go whenever you want you never have to rush to the gym before it closes and it’s never been too busy.
Cameron is an outstanding personal trainer at Insurgent. He trained me at my home gym and was the consummate professional: knowledgeable, skilled and highly personable. We achieved excellent results. I would give Cameron and the Insurgent team my highest recommendation.
Awesome environment filled with awesome people. Love the idea of not having to deal with any front desk people and just walking in whenever i want. Great gym for power lifting equipment and getting to know like minded people
best gym in town ong
Great place to workout. They set me up with a program for my needs and showed me how to use the equipment.
Great gym. Owner is so nice and knowledgeable. The kids coaches are great and a lot of fun. 24 hrs access is convenient.
I was in town for a week and needed a place for workout. I looked online and found these guys. The app was simple to download. The gym has 24 hour access which was great for me. The equipment was great and location was super close to the university where I was staying. I met a few nice people there as well. So not only a great place, but the fellow customers I met were very nice. I assume I'll be back in town again next year and will definitely go again on my next visit.
Morgan was extremely helpful setting up my account! Michelle was my trainer and was so personable and really helped me get back into fitness!! Would definitely recommend for anyone.
Some co workers and I were traveling through flagstaff for work and we were looking for somewhere to train jiu jitsu. We called on short notice and we were welcomed immediately to drop in on the no gi class. Awesome facility with mats, weights, and great coaching/training partners. Would definitely recommend and would come back!
Awesome teachers, awesome community, and I also like the layout of the gym and the MMA room. The vibes are very good here.
My son loves the kids class and has been amazing for us as a family to participate in BJJ and the gym
I have been training here for a year now and I think it's the best gym hands down. Family-friendly atmosphere and a great community. Very welcoming and loving people that train here. They have made me feel like I am part of a family I never had. Clean mats and equipment. Not over crowded like a lot of other gyms in town I tried and you have the option for 24 hour access. Coach Morgan is the best and supports his family here. I would highly recommend this gym for people who might be afraid to start training. I came in with zero experience and they made me feel comfortable and showed me the ropes. I can not express how much this gym has changed my life for the better. Come try out their open mat Sunday at noon. Just make sure you sign the waiver before you come in. They also have a sauna and Cold plunge which are amazing and private.
My son and I really enjoy the Insurgent gym, it's an all inclusive experience with weights and MMA training. The members are very friendly and helpful.
This is really one of the best gym operations I’ve seen anywhere. We were staying in Flagstaff for a week and was just searching for a place to workout. This gym was everything I could have asked for and more. Incredibly easy to get a membership for a week, and at an unbelievable value (~25$). Also total flexibility—gym open 24/7. Place had everything you could ever need—weights, calisthenics, martial arts, etc. Very clean and welcoming. Was never crowded when I was there. The app is super easy and convenient—and I am someone who isn’t very skilled with tech. This place truly deserves all 5 stars in my opinion. Would give it a 6th star if that were an option!
My friend and I were looking for a place to train BJJ while we on vacation so we went to Insurgent for an open mat. Everyone was welcoming and the rolls were fun and competitive. I definitely recommend this gym for anyone in the area!
Their kids Jiu Jitsu class is phenomenal! They are strict yet patient and very encouraging. It is a focused environment that pushes kids in a realistic way. My sons aged 5 and 7 loved it! At other martial arts classes my sons would come back hyped up and exhausted at the same time, after these classes they were tired but not out of control. It also didn't increase their violence level at home like other martial arts classes did.
Best gym in Flagstaff! 24 hour access, great quality Rogue equipment, awesome people, and reasonably priced. If you’re not a member of Insurgent…what are you doing?
This is a fabulously run program. They do an excellent job teaching the kids jujitsu class. My kids are learning self discipline, respect and how to control their bodies and emotions. The teachers a amazing! I can't say enough good about it!
Insurgent is more than just a a gym it's a family. When you walk in the doors you can feel that immediately, every one in there has the same goal, to be 1% better everyday. Whether you train in martial arts, strength training or better yet, both, Insurgent is the place you want to be!
All the equipment at this gym is very old. Some is already broken and the rest feels like it was going to break any minute while I was lifting. It’s not even safe to workout at the gym! That’s why I had to move to another gym facility.
Owner only cared about himself and his bottom line. A beautiful gym. A shame to be ran in the manner it is.
i’ve Been coming to insurgent for over a year and enjoyed it. The community here is actually good, that being said the owner plays favorites and focuses on them more than anyone else. i was a white belt and would grapple with people much more skilled than myself and the owner/ jiujitsu coach would give them direction and advice as we were grappling even though they were beating me. In addition to that he started giving me the cold shoulder for no apparent reason. i always paid my bill on time and was kind yet he would not even acknowledge me in the gym. The training here is decent but the owner is not the most friendly or fair person. on top of all this the muay thai is no longer available because of the petty actions of the owner. I would consider other gyms before coming to train at insurgent
