Built for
the grind.
A recovery club in Tempe, made for people who train, work, and push.
About
us.
Combat Recovery Center was founded by Dr. Ashley Stewart and her husband, Kyle Stewart — a retired professional MMA fighter and UFC veteran — with a shared mission: to give combat sports athletes a real place to recover.
Kyle spent 10 years competing as a professional MMA fighter, a career that took him through the sport's biggest stages and left him with the injuries and wear that come with a decade of high-level competition. Living through that recovery process firsthand — the setbacks, the slow rebuilding, the gaps in care built specifically for combat athletes — planted the idea for something different: a space designed around what fighters actually need to heal and keep performing.
Dr. Ashley Stewart brings her own athlete's perspective to that mission. A former competitive gymnast and collegiate track and field athlete, her own athletic career came with its share of injuries — she knows firsthand the discipline, the physical toll, and the mental grind that come with training at a high level. As a naturopathic medical doctor, she approaches health through the lens of root-cause medicine — treating the source of an issue rather than just the symptoms, using natural methods — and has built her practice around a core belief: that recovery and genuinely taking care of your body aren't optional extras for an athlete, they're the foundation everything else is built on.
Dr. Ashley Stewart, NMD
& Kyle Stewart
Together, Kyle and Ashley combined his firsthand experience recovering from injury with her own athletic career and expertise as a naturopathic physician to build Combat Recovery Center — a space neither could have created alone.
The result is a space and community built specifically for combat sports athletes — a place to recover from the rigorous training, competition, and physical demands that come with the sport, surrounded by people who understand exactly what that recovery requires.
