If you're looking for real changes, whether it be weight loss, strength/muscle building or help with nutrition, you have to check this place out! I have tried various other places for working out and was just never seeing or maintaining the real changes I wanted. It's only been here that it has really begun to happen for me. I've been thrilled with results already and that is extremely exciting!! I've been working out with Amanda for almost 3 months now and she has been absolutely awesome! She keeps up her support and encouragement outside of the studio which has helped me out a ton. She will check in on how my food is looking and send me texts throughout the week whether it's praise for my hard work, encouragement to reach my goals or a friendly kick in the butt to get back on track (and who doesn't need that now and then?!)! :) I'll text her for advice or nutrition tips and she is always ready to help. I know I wouldn't be seeing the results that I am without that personal touch that I see all the trainers here are wonderful about giving! In a short time, I feel lighter and stronger and more knowledgeable about what I should be eating. Nutrition has always been the toughest piece for me and the scariest to seek help with because I hate the thought of having to give things up. Well, now I've realized that I don't have to!!! Amanda learned quickly that I'm not your average ice cream lover (it's an intense love...) and she has helped me learn how I can still enjoy my ice cream while staying on track with weight loss! Wow! That has been awesome. It really is about a lifestyle change and the great personalized workouts you get here is just a part of it. Furthermore, if you don't like to exercise, I promise you even that can change here!! This is the first time I think I've ever actually looked forward to working out and even enjoyed it! Amanda keeps things moving along (whether I'm by myself or part of a small group) while still being able to enjoy chatting which passes the time quickly. I always ask her food questions while working out on top of that individual attention I get when we sit and talk about how things are going. You can always find a trainer here sitting with a client pre or post workout and really putting in that time we all need. Honestly, I didn't even know what macronutrients were before starting here and I'm still learning and getting closer to goals all the time. The calories allotted to me in my personal nutrition plan seemed difficult for me at the beginning, but it didn't take long for my body to truly adjust to the changes and I realize how doable this is! They want it to work for you!! This has only been the beginning of a journey for me and with the results I've already encountered in 3 months, I am so excited about where this place can take me! :) If you know that the right kind of exercise combined with working on nutrition is where it's at and you are ready for the awesome support that helps you learn and make manageable changes, you will LOVE it here! read more

It seems like the best times of my life, I was also in the best shape. Over the past several years I had steadily neglected myself, and I had a lot of great excuses why, which only let me continue to spiral out of control.a couple of months ago, after a close family member was diagnosed with cancer, I decided I needed to step up and take care of myself. I started with dietary changes and tracking my food intake, which helped me lose weight right away. About a month into my new eating plan, I had more energy and felt better, but I knew I needed more. All the research I did pointed to resistance training, so I searched for help and found Transform Scottsdale. I sent in an inquiry over the web and set up a meeting with one of the Trainers, Tom Okrie, who not only is a trainer there but also transformed himself from well over 300lbs to his current sub-200 weight with lean muscle mass. I felt confident he could help me, being that he's been in my shoes. I've been training for about a month and a half with Tom O. and have even trained with Jon and the other Tom when Tom O. was on vacation. The training I have received has been customized to my developing abilities and strength, yet still challenging. I have not left a workout feeling my time was wasted. I am down 30lbs total since I started my eating plan and later working with Transform. I've put on muscle and I feel better than I have for years. I never knew how people could actually transform themselves but these guys have been there, including Matt the owner who made a huge transformation on his own. Finally, I have to say that the atmosphere here is very down to earth, and trainers and clients alike are all friendly but there to work. If you are ready to build your best body ever, this is the place to be. I haven't gotten there yet, but I'm enjoying the process in building a better lifestyle for the long term. read more

I have always been active and for most of my adult life, yet even with being active, I was on the chubby side. Around 10 years ago I changed my entire workouts and eating routine; on my own without a trainer or advice from fitness professionals. I dropped close to 30 pounds and would describe myself as a "thin" person, keeping the weight off until this past year. Introduce Marriage, 3 moves and the normal hectic schedules of life. Slowly a few pounds crept back on. Even though I continued to be active and work out, I got soft. The dreaded word!!! SOFT!! I sought out a gym where I could get personalized training with REAL ACCOUNTABILITY. I found Transform and specifically Tom Welch at the beginning of May. He discussed my history, my eating and my schedule. He shared an eating plan (calorie/macro counting) and we agreed to train 2 times per week (one hour each session) added onto my 2-3 times per week HOT yoga. At first I was resistant to the idea of calorie and macro counting but dedicated myself and committed to using the MyFitnessPal app to monitor my meals. At first I wasn't seeing any changes on the scale yet Tom's regular texts when we weren't together and our chats during the workouts kept encouraging me to stay on track, to not lose sight of my long term goals and to keep at it, was exactly what I needed. He was never pushy or bossy and instead was / is the right mix of accountability coach and "boss". As of today, the scale shows just a few "pounds" lost yet I have shrunk and I mean shrunk. I fit into all my clothes (some are even loose in certain areas) that used to be tight, so tight I couldn't wear them. I'm muscular and strong. It's a huge visible change in just 4 months. Tom has shown me to stop looking at the scale, to trust the process of "fat loss" vs weight loss! Join Transform. read more

These guys are professionals that know how to get results that are sustainable for the long haul. The nutrition program is based on a proven process that is fully backed by research. At Transform Scottsdale, you aren't going to be given a bunch of gimmicks and be confused by someones dogmatic B.S. You get the truth and more importantly, they care enough to keep their clients accountable. I was referred to Matt by a trusted nutrition expert and I am so thankful that I followed through. I am a 34 years old business owner that CHOSE to put everything else in my life before my health. When I started with Matt, I weighed 314 lbs and I was tired, stressed, and was feeling horrible. I am now 4 weeks in and can already say that I feel like a different person. I have already lost 22 lbs, my energy is incredible, and feel like a more engaged and effective husband/father/business owner. After only 4 weeks I have a hard time believing the results myself but, it all comes down to trusting and working the process that Transform Scottsdale provides....IT WORKS and the best part is----I get to eat what I want (with moderation)----and I have yet to feel like I am hungry. Bottom line is this....It is very apparent to me that Matt and the trainers at Transform really do care about making an impact in this world. The nutrition and training program is tailored to me. They didn't overwhelm me with a bunch of unrealistic nutrition goals and don't just focus on crushing me in the gym. The whole approach is handled with care and balance. I have worked with some of the best trainers in Arizona and honestly, working with Transform Scottsdale has been by far my best experience. Give it a try and TRUST THE PROCESS. read more

let me share my personal experience about the personal trainers, I have been working out for last few years but not regular like On and off , But had a very bad opinion about the personal trainers as I have seen many of my friends and fellows joining a personal trainer in the gym I used to train. I have never seen them transforming for years and most of the trainer I have met have no idea of the body style or the nutrition thing they have to suggest. All they say was eat salads and low on carbs , which made me stay away from the personal training stuff, but I was more into fitness. Then I met SAIDEEP my buddy and my workout partner now. I have seen his transformation and was really surprised then I asked him to get an appointment with TOM, that decision of asking him for appointment changed my life now. First thing I liked about TOM and Transform was they don't ask you to cut down or change your diet completely or the quality of the diet they restrict only the quantity of fat you eat per day , that impressed me a lot that I can eat my favorite food and even I can transform.From past 6 month I have been training with TOM, I can say the best trainer ever. His dedication and passion about transforming his clients body was mind blowing really felt very happy, about the way he gives importance to your passion.One thing I can bring out here, I asked him to get me the workout for that weekend and without hesitation he share me all the workout even though he was on vacation, this say how dedicated he was about transforming his clients. Yes , Transform changed my body and Changed my life :-) read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about transform! They are truly interested about your fitness goals and they educate you on what your daily caloric intake should be by breaking down the macronutrients for you! The trainers clearly invest their time in your progress through fitness and nutrition unlike any gym that we have come across. Becky is an exceptional top notch trainer!!! She listens to your goals and focuses on your problem areas and desires. In just 1 and 1/2 months, I've noticed my arms transform from flabby to where I can see the striations in my arm muscles. I usually leave the gym soaked in sweat and it is truly remarkable how I've physically transformed. My husband can definitely see a difference and I am no longer embarrassed to wear tank tops! Not only is she a stellar trainer, but she really guides me to make better dietary decisions. I use the fitness app (my fitness pal) to track my daily caloric intake and it's been a huge help in making better decisions. Becky makes changes accordingly to my intake or encourages me to stay on the path to my goals. She also gives me suggestions on how I can fulfill my nutritional goals every day. Becky is also very likeable and has such a great energy about her! She makes it really fun to train with her and she pushes you with words of encouragement. Becky is always so positive and most importantly, she believes in you! My husband and I truly love transform! This is the first gym that personally listens to our goals and helps us meet our needs by customizing each regimen per body type! read more

I have been to other Personal Trainer's before. I have gone to enough to get a general idea of what to expect. Before meeting Matt, and visiting Underground Fitness I was completely expecting the "car salesman" pitch. I expected to walk into the gym during my first free session and workout for maybe 35-40 minutes then be taken to a big old desk and sold a pile of packages I could not afford. My expectations were shattered, and Underground Fitness broke the Personal Training stereotype for many reasons. First, I explained to Matt my personal goals (shed the fat, tone, and look good for my wedding that was 6 weeks away). Matt listened and was excited to take on the challenge. Second, Underground Fitness offers two free sessions which includes a nutrition plan breakdown. And can we talk about the nutrition plan? Without revealing their secrets it is COMPLETELY attainable and you do not have to buy special meals or starve yourself. Third, Matt Hoodie, the owner, is a walking success story. Matt has been where most of us have been and currently are. He lost a mountain of weight and has shaped his body to what most of us believe to be ideal. His education in Dietetics and Exercise Science offers much more than meets to eye because he can explain his motives behind certain things and teach us what we are doing wrong. Overall, I will never go anywhere else for my personal training needs. I still have a long road ahead of me, however for the first time ever after meeting a trainer I felt like my goals were achievable in within reasonable reach. read more

I have been working out at Transform for about 4 months. Tom O. is absolutely amazing! When I first started with him my main goal was to get back in shape after having a baby a year and a half earlier. Instead I have had a transformation in my attitude, self-confidence, and fitness level. I have been a runner for over 25 years, and the training I have done with Tom O. has helped me increase my speed and distance much more quickly than I ever could of with running alone or working out intermittently by myself. Meeting with him twice a week has not only improved my fitness level but has kept me motivated and on track the other days of the week to work out and stay healthy. The things I like most about Transform and Tom O. is that the focus is really on high-quality intense workouts that deliver results. He is able to focus on my weaknesses as well as build upon my strengths to really make an individual program that is getting the where I want to be. He has been flexible with his schedule to make sure that I am able to make my training sessions every week regardless of my own work commitment, which has made all the difference in the world to keeping the on track. Lastly, and most importantly I enjoy my training sessions with Tom O. He has a great personality and is completely committed to his client's success. I cannot recommend him and Transform highly enough read more

Matt & the Transform team are geniuses at transforming people's bodies (no matter what your age / body type / situation.) Personally, I'm was 4.5 years post pregnancy and having a total fail of a time getting my inches & body fat % down to my pre-pregnancy numbers. I had tried a super low calorie diet / KetoDiet / 5x of cardio a week / pvolve / Tracy Anderson / yoga - all the things that used to work well enough pre-pregnancy, but weren't working anymore. Finally I found myself at transform & im super impressed so far. The macro diet thing has left me never hungry (or sick like I was on low 1000 calorie a day diet.) and I'm still losing body fat & inches. I was a bit worried about all the machines & free weights - because I'm hyper mobile and didn't want to hurt myself. But actually I wish I found this ages ago! Because I'm actually getting definition and leaning out in places I thought were impossible to change. Plus I told Matt all about my joint issues & he tailors my workout to my limitations. Finally, and most importantly, Matt is the nicest / most professional guy ever. He is truly interest in your life & progress and always makes you feel comfortable - even when he is pushing your limits. Actually everyone I have met a transform has been great - the staff and the other clients. I'm totally sold and can't wait to see where my body is in a year from now. Xx read more

Sierra has been an incredible influence on my fitness journey, unlike any other trainer I've worked with in the past. After years of trying different diets and trainers, I had almost given up on my fitness goals. However, meeting Sierra changed everything. What sets Sierra apart is her holistic approach to fitness. She doesn't just focus on workouts; she's helped me connect all the dots. She's taught me that achieving my goals isn't just about what I do in the gym, but also about how I fuel my body. Her nutritional guidance has been enlightening. Sierra's workout routines are both challenging and tailored to my abilities. She continually encourages me to push my limits while ensuring that I exercise safely within my capabilities. Thanks to her guidance, I've not only shed excess weight but also gained muscle, a transformation I had once thought unattainable. Beyond the physical changes, Sierra's unwavering support and motivation have been invaluable to me. She's more than just a personal trainer; she's become a trusted friend and mentor on my fitness journey. If you're searching for someone who can help you reach your fitness goals, educate you about nutrition, kick your ass and provide unwavering support, Sierra is the ideal trainer. I'm immensely grateful for her expertise and guidance. read more

Beautiful gym, perfect size, has everything you need and a handful of amazingly skilled personal trainers! I got the privilege to sit down with Matt Hoodie the past couple days and I cant tell you how much I have learned just within a week! He puts heart into his work and he truly wants to help others get where they want to be! He is honest, be prepared to get your questions answered. Workouts are killer and the knowledge he has shared with me is outstanding! I myself work in the fitness industry. Since ive started and since ive started working out on my own ive been told many things here and there relating to nutrition and workouts and when you need to do this or dont do that..ect. I've tried many different routes during my journey so far. His knowledge blew me away. We make it super hard for ourselves when the process of eating and exercising is much much simpler than you think!!(Does change happen over night, no) but we save alot of stress and find ourselves suceeding rather than being stuck! He was able to knock down every myth i have believed but not only that he actually explained to me why it was a myth. If you're looking for help I wouldnt hesistate at all to check out Transform Scottdale and sit down with Matt you won't be disappointed. read more

I am beyond thankful for having had the opportunity to work with Amanda for the last seven months. Her dedication and commitment to helping me reach my goal and encouraging me along the way is something I've never experienced with other trainers in the past and is a testament to how much she cares about her clients and her personal investment in their progress. After close to a year traveling for school, I had gained a considerable amount of weight and was unable get back into shape on my own. A family member recommended I contact Amanda for help, and to this day, it was one of the best decisions I have made for my health and happiness. I worked with Amanda as I finished my school in Michigan. We would touch base multiple times a week to see how everything was going, how to improve for the upcoming week, and if I ever had any questions, she was so responsive and helpful. Amanda is truly talented in that she was able to continuously adapt my exercises and diet to match any changes in my daily life, from working nights to going on vacation, and as a result, I was able to reach my goal. When my friends and family see me now and ask me how I was able to do it, I tell everyone it was because of Amanda! read more

I can't say enough GREAT things about Transform Scottsdale and its amazing crew! I have grown up an athlete, fitness competitor, gym rat.

Matt and Becky Hoodie at Transform are changing our lives! First Becky helped my wife get stronger, eat better and learn to maintain her progress. Down 20 pounds in three months my wife looks great. Her tennis and ballroom dancing have benefited greatly. Becky made it easy for my wife to succeed. So much so that it inspired me to give it a try. Glad I did. It's been six weeks working with Matt. My body is leaning out and gaining muscle. I'm down 4 pounds in total but I have added close to 4 pounds of muscle. My "beer gut" is disappearing and I haven't been hungry! The myfitness app they recommend is very easy to follow. In the past I have been injury prone but Matt does a great job finding and explaining exercises that build muscle without aggravating my limitations. It's wonderful seeing the results after each workout. I'm nearly halfway to my goal of losing 20 pounds of fat while adding 10 pounds of muscle. I feel and look better and my golf game is improving. I highly recommend Matt and Becky. They WILL help you transform your body and you will enjoy the process. read more

For the past 6 months I have been working out with UF Scottsdale. I moved to AZ from NC and was looking for a trainer - not just a gym - I found them and do not regret it. I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of the trainers there (Matt, Tom and Brandon) and each one is fantastic. They tailor your fitness program around your goals. After each session I feel like I have gotten a true workout and my body reminds me the next day or so! One of the things that drew me to UF Scottsdale was that I could not only get physical training, but nutritional as well (this is a big part of the UF Scottsdale experience!). They work with you to understand how your eating and what you should be eating to maintain a healthy lifestyle. UF is very understanding of busy schedules and are flexible with setting up sessions that are going to help you remain consistent. They truly want you to succeed and will do whatever they can to ensure you do! I love UF Scottsdale and the entire staff. The facility is great and the location easy to get to. I am fortunate to have found them in my area! read more

Pretty amazing place. Meeting Sierra and the team was probably one of the best things that has happened to me. I thought I was reasonably healthy - exercised regularly (weights, hockey, running, soccer) but not feeling that great and looking for a change. Within a month working with Sierra my health has totally changed. With 3 young kids, long work hours and lots of travel, I still feel way better at 37 than I did at 27. Have lost around 25 lbs in 3 months while getting significantly stronger, more flexible, etc. I highly, highly recommend Sierra and the entire team. She is incredibly knowledgeable, makes training fun and is a great motivator. Maybe most importantly, she always follows up between sessions to see how things are going, makes recommendations and just keeps things on track. The atmosphere is also great, fun place to be and the entire Transform team makes you feel welcome. I never do reviews online but I just cannot stress how life changing and positive working with Sierra and Transform has been! read more

5 stars is not enough! I have tried every weight loss program imaginable! i have never gotten long lasting results. But i did with this! It wasnt a quick fad diet. They teach you how to eat the right foods in the right amounts. While not depriving your body of any of the foods you love! You learn how to count your macros that fit your lifestyle and body. I lost 22 lbs, which was amazing and I have continued to lose more after leaving the program. Simply because they teach you how to do this independently, and not need to rely on someone else to do it for you. I cant express how much they have changed my life. I had gotten to a point of desperation and feeling terrible in my own skin. I can proudly say I have such a new sence of confidence in myself that everyone around me can see also! I cant wait to see what mu future holds for me in my fittness and body transformation, I couldnt be more grratful for the life they gave me back and the confidence to know I can now do it on my own! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more
