South Mountain Movement & Wellness - Phoenix, Arizona

Matthew Mariner

As a proud dad watching my entire family train at South Mountain Movement & Wellness, I can't say enough good things about this place. The instructors are phenomenal with both kids and adults, striking that perfect balance between pushing everyone to improve and keeping it fun. My kids have absolutely blossomed here - their confidence has skyrocketed, and it's amazing to see them learning real self-defense skills while having a blast with their training partners. Even my daughter, who used to be so shy about wrestling, now eagerly demonstrates moves at home (usually attempting to armbar me throughout the day).

What really sets this place apart is how they've created such a strong family atmosphere. My wife and I get to train in the adult classes, and we really enjoy the community here. Lots of the adults have children who also train in the community, and its wonderful seeing the entire family on the mats! The other parents and students have become great friends, and we often send each other jujitsu memes on Instagram. The facility is always clean, the schedule is flexible enough to accommodate our crazy family logistics, and they genuinely care about every student's progress. I honestly don't know how Coach Sarah and Coach Danny remember all the kids names.

Sarah and Nigel have created something really special here, and signing up was one of the best decisions we've made for our family, both for our physical fitness and our sense of community. I hope as the community grows we can add more no-gi classes and continue fostering our wonderful culture.

I love South Mountain Wellness. The yoga classes are just what I needed. Shiela is a wonderful teacher. I love how she explains how to go deeper into yoga postures with specific body corrections. She also shares her wisdom in meaningful ways on how to release things that are not serving you. I feel more relaxed and capable of handling daily stress when I take her class.
I also love taking Animal Flow with Kathy. The core work is so challenging, but Kathy does a fabulous job explaining how to do the poses and makes it really fun. I look forward to this class every Tuesday!

I had a great time using the recovery room especially after chest day. The cold plunge feels great. The front desk girl named Daniella was helpful and she was welcoming. I am excited for this movement in south Phoenix

Fantastic experience individually and for the whole family, regardless of age or excuses. This Academy has helped bring training and healing on an individual and interrelational level, physically, emotionslly and spiritually. Highly recommended.
