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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
