I signed up for the beautiful strength program in fall of 2017 and have continued on to train three times a week with the same group of folks. The beautiful strength series was a fun opportunity to meet like-minded people, and is well-instructed and structured. I very strongly recommend it, even if you have some lifting experience. The facility itself is nice, the gym members are good people, and I'm happy to be a part of the community. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

As someone who is just trying to learn the basics I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable. Strength training is new and difficult for me. The trainer Matt, made sure his instructions scaled to my ability which I found incredibly helpful. Gyms around town have such different offerings/cultures so let me highlight some specifics: 1. It's a studio styled - open gym, with lots of strength equipment: strength machines, kettlebells, weight racks, sled, tires etc. 2. Cardio here primarily involves lifting heavy things rapidly. No treadmills, no zumba classes. 3. It's clean, also they can open the bay door at the rear of the gym for fresh air which is a nice feature. 4. Very welcoming to different abilities, ages etc.

As I age, I have noticed challenges with stamina and a little extra weight around the middle. I've run by this location for the last few years wondering what was going on in there. On a whim, I decided to go on line and joined an eight week trial. I was shocked to see such positive results in that time. I decided to join for a year. The price to continue is a little pricey, but it is worth it. It has helped my strength in the gym lifting as well as my running, swimming, etc etc. These classes kick my butt and I welcome the daily challenge. They are short and sweet and to the point. Always different from day to day and week to week. If you want an extra push in your fitness, I highly recommend. The workouts are well thought out and, in my opinion, they know how important it is to change it up to challenge your body. They are there to accommodate all fitness levels. If you have concerns, questions or requests.....ask! They are there to help. There are all sizes, shapes, ages and fitness levels at this camp. Give it a try!

Beware! Extremely Pushy and Disrespectful Communication…read more on Sunday, 8/24/25 I showed some initial interest in their $79 deal online and almost immediately regretted it. Within five minutes, I received two phone calls, a voicemail from Ashley and a text message. I was busy at the time and didn't respond right away--yet about an hour later, they texted me again. I politely let them know I'd stop by on Thursday and requested that any communication happen between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Despite this clear boundary, they texted me again the following night at 9:30 p.m.--waking me up in the process--just to "follow up." This behavior felt invasive. It's incredibly unprofessional, disrespectful of people's time, and ultimately pushy to the point of discomfort. Because of how aggressively they pursued me, I've decided not to move forward with them. I do not recommend doing business with a company that doesn't respect basic communication boundaries. Completely distasteful experience. **Update - 8/26/25 Alicia Pretzer has now contacted me from a different phone number, after I explicitly asked to be removed from their system last night. I then called Alicia and expressed to her very clearly that this is harassment and she needs to stop contacting me. If this behavior persists, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action. I strongly urge others to be cautious--if you're just seeking information, be aware that you may be subjected to ongoing harassment.

Not only have I seen first hand the amazing results people have under her tutelage, I know how passionate she is about her clients and their weight loss success. Is she a tough taskmaster? You better believe it. Why? Because she's with her clients every step of the way and she wants to make sure her clients stay accountable and reach their health and wellness goals. Is training with Brenda easy? No. Changing your life and training your body and mind to make healthier decisions doesn't happen overnight and it's no walk in the park, which is exactly why you need Brenda. Would I recommend her and Focus on Fitness? Definitely!

There's nothing fake about this place. The people who work here, who work out here, they're are all about genuinely trying to make each others lives better. And I love it. Despite days when I'm tired from work and/or feeling sore from the day before, I get a real good kick out of working out with these folks! It's only 40 minutes of 24 hours to take care of yourself. And if there's something off, they trainers are willing to make modifications to the workouts. Add in nutrition support (and the occasional challenge) and you have one of the best and most unique fitness families out there.

The staff is always welcoming, and the overall community here is truly something special. I've been an Orangetheory Fitness member for nearly 12 years and have visited over 125 studios across the country due to frequent work travel--and I can confidently say Coach Joan is the best, hands down. She immediately made me feel at home at the Tempe studio, always offers thoughtful modifications for my injuries, and genuinely loves what she does. Her energy is infectious in the best possible way. Whether you're visiting from out of town or looking to start a new fitness routine, I highly recommend this studio. Give the front desk a call--they'll take great care of you!

I like them equally since every OTF I've been to in state, and in other states, are set up similarly so you can just hop into any gym and get a great workout. This Tempe location is conveniently located on Guadalupe Rd near 101, in the Fry's shopping center. There's always parking, the instructors are great, and the staff is friendly. I will complain about one thing, and this isn't related to this OTF location itself but the OTF policies in general, I just placed a 30 day freeze on my account, I'll be traveling out of the country for almost a month. I was told there is $15 freeze fee, which I think is pretty lame. It's not like I could use my classes if I wanted to, so charging me to freeze just seems gratuitous. But that is corporate, capitalist America for you. I don't agree with this fee, but I'm not bothered enough to stop working out here. And OTF knows that. Anyway. OTF Tempe is great otherwise.

Which one do you belong to? I believe this generic terms in our modern life, AKA Internet, means more like a drill rather than a military one and you probably know better if you were in the Army however if you feel like you got a good work out this can make your day. Once again, Groupon brought me here as BFIT4LIFE offers 5am Boot Camp classes on M/W/F and for the price you pay you can't go wrong. In Chandler, you'll meet with Michelle at 5am or Dana any other days at 5:30am. The classes take place in two locations. Either The Bridge on Alma School road and Germann or The Training Zone on Arizona Ave and Ocotillo. The classes take place inside with a few runs outside to get some fresh air and recover. Both trainers know how to make you work hard equally and you get a good work out no matter what. Also, Dana makes sure to follow up with you concerning any issues or concerns you might have reported to her directly or indirectly which is good customer service. I like the fact that they are paying attention to proper form when you are not doing it right and that you get corrected to avoid injury and get the most of your time. The morning group is motivated and ready for more which is a good way to push yourself and I've seen my strength level and stamina increased after a couple of weeks. Once a month they have a PiloXing class which mixes Pilates and boxing. This class is not for everyone, either you like it or you don't. I'm the later. The concept sounds great however having done boxing and kickboxing for a while I couldn't reach my sweet cardio level spot making me feel left a bit on the edge of a disappointment. Good news though, you can get one week of free trial classes if you want to give it a shot, just check out their web site and their schedule, you might find something for you.

I came to boot camp with a pass I bought on groupon, I've been to several bootcamps over the last…read morefew years and this one is by far my favorite! I am impressed with the customer service, workout, and all trainers! In my first class I met the owner and she took the time to get to know me, my fitness goals, and my name! All the trainers refer to you by name, and push you to make the most of your workout. The workouts they design really work all parts of your body and attending 10 weeks in a row with only once per week I can see noticeable difference. Class sizes are small, they offer child care, and cost is affordable! If I wasn't moving I would sign up for a full year of camps, I will be watching for when they spread to west valley! I think what I find most impressive is the positive attitude. It would have been very easy to shun me off since they are probably not making any money off of me, however I have always felt welcome and the same as other non-grouponers. Since I cannot continue going to camp please take my place.

I absolutely love orange theory!…read more I started out last year in October with Coach Megan. My first class was "hell week" and she was so patient and helped me through that work out and so many after that. I was so nervous as I never lifted weights before but she coached me through it. I started working another job and going back to school for a masters . I thought I was going to have to give it up, but there are so many classes you can attend at all different hours of the day, seven days a week! I work 2 and half jobs, go to school and there are still sessions that accommodate my schedule. It's truly amazing and perfect for busy schedules !!! Next, is coach Kat is phenomenal! She has this inspirational opening each workout that motivates you for the whole work out. She is so encouraging and is also so incredibly helpful. Orangetheory Pecos has the best coaches and the best challenges! Truly so happy
