    I'll start this review out by saying I am certainly no strongman competitor and am not seeking to…read morebecome one. Although this is a strongman man gym, they are very open to anyone looking to get an intense workout. Come in ready to bust your ass. I fell in love with this small, 3,000 sq. ft. gym after my very first workout. They have everything from light to heavy free weights, tires, sleds, traditional weights, sledges, etc. Most people that come in here are either strongman competitors, professional firefighters(Scott, the owner, is a PFDFirefighter and Arizona Strongman), or just people looking to push themselves in a gym with just the necessities and none of the frills. They offer small lockers, a bathroom, towels, but not much else. This, in my opinion, is great for really getting down to business. It's no Lifetime Fitness where there are tvs and other meaningless distractions to detract you from a good workout, so don't expect to be pampered. The staff is very friendly, they are all in great shape and are there for the love of it. The membership rates are awesome as well, as it is month to month and no contracts. All in all, if you want to push yourself, whether it be heavier weights or better results, I would recommend this place 100%. I have never trained with Scott, but from watching him train other people, I have no doubt in my mind he will push you to your limits, and you will be grateful. Oh, and by the way, mind your manners and use your common sense here. Be respectful of the gym(come in ready to get down or get out), be mindful of others, and for God's sake, re-rack your weights and clean up after yourself! Not only will you lose your gym privileges, but you will have to pay a reinstatement fee to come back. This is no joke! Pick up after yourself, we are not your mothers. I will try and post a picture of all the gym rules, they are quite humorous, but they are there for a reason!

    Today was the November to Remember strong man competition and it was awesome. They really put on a…read moregreat show and had everything organized well. I competed in the heavy weight class and everyone was great and the it was a great time. I would recommend anyone who is wanting to get strong, get lean, or just get fit check out this gym now named SpartanFit CrossFit

    Definitely small established facilities here in the valley. Came here as our middle school and high…read moreschool teams were given an opportunity to participate in a combine in preparation for sports. I liked the interaction with the coaches and the combine staff throughout the morning as they did a good job communicating with everyone as well as engaging the athletes. They did a really good job of explaining what the expectations were, how they will get measured. "World Class" so expected nothing less. If you live on this side of town, I would recommend as an option to consider to next the athlete to the next level. Lots of professionals uses facility not only here in Arizona but other athletes around the country & the facility grounds have a lot of equipment to accommodate all types of training and conditioning.

    There is a good reason the place is chock full of NFL hopefuls, Olympians, champions and national…read moreteams...when it comes to training, whether you are looking for sport-specific training or simply for overall health, Athletes' Performance has no rival. It is expensive, yes, but worth every penny. Their approach is completely integrated - they will oversee nutrition, training, psychology, and recovery in a world class facility. They are extremely scientific and very cutting edge; their staff also contributes significantly to the research community. I was fortunate enough to live in the Phoenix are for 9 months and cannot speak well enough of their staff or their programs. You'll come to improve yourself and will end up drinking the kool aid! Once you get in the swing of things it's hard to get enough of this place, and I shockingly found myself actually looking forward to arriving there before sunrise 6 days a week (ok, a bit later on Saturdays). My physical condition and overall health improved at a breakneck pace and I had a blast doing it! If you're motivated and fortunate enough to train at AP here are a few tips: Chris Brown makes the world's tastiest post-workout shake, the nutritionist Simin Levinson is a wonderful person and an excellent cook, so take her advice on kitchen matters, and if you can get your massages done by Eric Ford, do so - it will hurt but the man is a truly gifted healer. I just cannot gush enough about this place. It is worth saving up for either for yourself or for your athletic kids!

    The saying, "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"…read morepretty much sums up my old workout and eating routine; doing the same thing for years and expecting change. My husband had similar frustrations with working out. Luckily, he found Underground and we both enrolled and I'm so happy we did. I cannot say enough positive things. Our trainer (Danny) and coach (Shane) are both awesome. Danny has been fantastic with how positive and patient he is, especially with someone like me who's never even picked up weights in a gym before. He keeps workouts interesting and challenging. Shane helps provide accountability outside of the gym especially with eating; turns out I wasn't eating enough! Both are extremely knowledgeable and happy to pass along their knowledge. As for the gym itself. We signed up for semi-private sessions, but you get a lot of 1-on-1 time and it never really feels crowded. You never have to fight over equipment and everything is constantly wiped down. Also, scheduling sessions is easy and flexible. Honesty, my husband and I really look forward to going to the gym, it's actually fun, like really fun...not a chore. We've both changed physically, but also mentally. This journey has been so positive for both of us. I would highly recommend this gym. If I had the means, (and lol their willingness) I would sign up my family/friends!

You won't see people sitting on a machine for an hour on their phones not doing even one set. You won't see people leaning against a machine talking for an hr and not working out. Its a serious Gym for Serious people,..not a Happy Hour. I needed a Gym to do my workout quick and go home. The enviroment is very family oriented, very respectful. People come to the Gym to workout. Laura, Hailey and Anthony are all very nice and everyone is super helpful. I've stopped in with my Dog to say hello on the days I'm not working out and, my Dog loves Laura and Haley. Serious Gym, serious people,..you can actually get a good workout here. Perfect.

    Okay. So I am in my 50s. Been working out for years and my wife trains with an exceptional and…read moreknowledgeable trainier. However, her personal trainer is tired of the corporate issues at our current gym and said he is going to leave to do instructional training at "The Gym" Never heard of it... other than saying I'm going to the gym... lowercase. My wife and I discussed the situation. Do we stay at our current and work with the second best trainer or follow the best trainer.... After our workout this past Monday we decided to do a tour at THE GYM. We walked in and were greated nicely enough. They were a little apprehensive at first but seemed okay. We walked around a bit. We were impressed with the amount of equipment and so much less USELESS FLUFF like other gyms. This place is all about working out. This is awesome. Great. Sooo. my issue that I noticed is the lighting is WAY TOO DIM for proper safety and effectively seeing the function of each piece of equipment let alone seeing your form while using them. Some areas along what I think is the East wall were pitch black. My eyes were not aclimating to their "ambience". I understand the whole shadow and contrast of seeing muscle definition and people not wanting to be on "display" while working out but this lack of lighting is definately not helpful if you need a flashlight to see! At least when we were there, the music wasn't blarring like so many others had complained about, because if my wife can't hear her instructor, we will not be switching. Now if only the lighting would be addressed..... I would give 5 stars.
