More Than Just a Venue: What The PHNX Collective & Venue Really Is
During the week, The PHNX is not an empty hall. It’s a community hub—home to seven hand-picked, locally owned businesses that each exist to help people grow.
These businesses don’t just rent space. They form the heartbeat of a purpose-built collective that moves, serves, heals, creates, and uplifts. From early morning workouts to late evening wrestling practice, the building is alive with intention.
Here’s a closer look at the tenants who call The PHNX home:

Why This Matters
Most buildings sit empty more than half the week. The PHNX doesn’t.
From Monday to Friday, it’s a collective where people sweat, think, stretch, create, and connect. From Saturday to Sunday, it opens its doors to unforgettable weddings, showers, celebrations, and fundraisers.
And that rhythm is intentional. It’s a space designed to serve people across seasons of both growth and gathering—whether that means physical training, healing, worship, or saying “I do.”
