This is actually my second time coming back to Underground Fitness, and there is a reason for that!…read moreI have worked out with several different trainers over the years, but Gavino is the absolute best and the main reason I came back. He knows exactly how to push me, but he also reins me in when I try to push myself too hard. He always keeps in mind that there are certain things my 56-year-old body just can't do anymore! Lol. Tripp is another fantastic trainer here who is also great. You honestly can't go wrong at this gym!"

I'm sharing this for safety reasons…read more During a squat session a few months back, I told my trainer that my back was hurting during the squats. Despite this, I was instructed to complete another set. During that final set, I injured my back badly enough that I could not walk afterward. At no point was the exercise stopped, reduced, or modified when I reported pain. I still can't squat, my back isn't fully recovered. Afterward, communication was disappointing. When my husband and I later explained that we needed to pause training due to finances, we received no response. Regardless of certification or experience level, a trainer should prioritize client safety, listen when pain is reported, and communicate professionally. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. Update: After posting this review, the trainer contacted me and offered me money to take my review down. Since he can't contact me he reached out to my husband regarding my review. I am adding this update for transparency.

Why would I not give Tracy 5 stars? To say he knows fitness doesn't even scratch the surface. He…read moreliterally has a wealth of fitness knowledge stored in his brain, just waiting for you to step up and learn it. About 40 years worth, to be exact. Tracy still competes in, and wins, fitness competitions. And don't worry, as fit as you might think you are, he'll always be in better shape. Which is actually a good thing because he gives you an example to strive for. I've been working with Tracy for almost 2 months now and a number of people (separately) have commented on my increased fitness and weight loss so there must be something to it right? After a while you'll start hearing his voice in your head... which helps when you're working out on your own because the idea is to try and maintain the same intensity at all times. You will quickly realize all the excuses that you make to yourself when he isn't there. A little bad news for anyone reading this: as good as Tracy is, if you don't listen to what he tells you and if you don't try and change your habits at least somewhat, you won't get the results you could otherwise. And yes, that means you do need to change your diet. Just ask Tracy what he eats, or rather, what he DOESN'T eat, and you'll quickly learn what it really takes to be that fit. I've actually never worked with a trainer before and now I'm wondering what took me so long. I think I just finally decided I was ready to stop making excuses and actually make some changes. But I know there are still many changes I can make to improve even more. So what are you waiting for? Call Tracy now, stop making excuses, and make some serious changes in your life for the better!

This place really has allowed for me to make such a drastic change to my lifestyle- building my confidence in fitness spaces, helping me find movement that I enjoy and motivation to stay consistent. No question is too stupid to ask and the information and experience I've gained from working out with the coaches at Trifit is priceless. Getting a membership here was the first decision I made when deciding to prioritize my mental and physical health in my 30's. If you're looking to make a major change to your lifestyle but might need community or guidance to support you on your journey- this is the place to be.

I filled out the waiver and the intake form. Shortly after I received a txt to enjoy my workout. Kaylie the assistant manager came over and said I couldn't work out on a free day pass because I don't live in Az and it would be $22 for the DAY. She suggested my sister pay $15 extra a month to have 6 guest privileges. She was condescending and flipped her hair as she walked off with a smile. My sister pulled her daughter from kids club and we left without working out.

They offer alternative exercises if you have had knee injuries, or other injuries, in the past or something to that effect. They'll walk you through the different "stations" prior to starting, will monitor your progress and form, and offer guidance to anyone who needs it. They don't scream at people who take a quick rest, but will make sure you're still pushing yourself throughout the workout. I would've liked to sign-on to continue a membership here, but due to my job requiring me to travel at different times, it didn't seem like that was a viable option. It's difficult finding gyms that can pause memberships for certain circumstances. (I get it, it's a lot to ask.) Regardless, I'd recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking for a good workout that will keep you motivated. The other patrons share the same goals as you and everyone seems to support each other. **Cool note: I got sick towards the end of my promo membership and determined it best to stay home, away from others while I got better. I received text messages from the staff (Crystal), asking where I was and just checking up on me. I thought that was pretty cool of them to take the time to reach out. Thanks, AFBBC!

I have looked for a good Traditional Karate school similar to the school I attended back east but have come up short. Finally I found Arizona Shotokan in Glendale and met the head instructor Tom Hyder. Mr Hyder was very friendly and polite I was impressed by his knowledge and instruction in Traditional Karate. I travel 2 hours round trip just to attend karate classes believe me there are tons of karate schools that I pass on the way there but none of these schools compare to the instruction taught at Arizona Shotokan. It's not just about paying tuition and attending a class they really are genuinely interested in helping you learn and improve. Plus all the students their have made feel super welcomed. I feel at home. They are also internationally recognized by one of the most traditional organization in Japan, Karatenomichi World Federation KWF. If you want to train in karate as they do in Japan this is the place to go to.

My work takes me on roofs and gives my knees all sorts of abuse. Greg designed a workout unlike any I've had before, and within the first two weeks my knees hurt less. Now they feel better than they have in years. I know the stronger muscles around the knees are making a difference. On top of all that the REAL nutrition counseling, no shame, great atmosphere, etc make Fitness Institute a perfect fit for me and people like me.

There is usually just a handful of people or sometimes you might even have the whole gym to yourself. There's always music playing. I appreciate also that they do play Kpop. It's a very clean gym with individual restrooms and private shower area in the restroom. Overall, a small gym that makes you feel comfortable to be there with plentiful parking. I would definitely recommend this gym!
