Southwest Fitness 24/7 — Local services in Apache Junction

As many of us do, I was looking to get back into shape when I started looking for a gym nearby. I was tired of driving to Mesa/Gilbert/Apache Junction just to go to the gym for an hour. I was referred by my father to check out "Southwest Fitness 24/7" and when I went in, I felt at home! Bob and Kristen (owners) welcomed me with open arms and did not judge me or make me feel out of place. I have had 2 major knee surgeries on my right knee and had a very hard time getting the urge to go back to the gym and get back in shape. It was very difficult to find the urge to workout but Bob and Kristen stayed on me and gave me the encouragement and assistance I need to get back on my feet….literally! They are not only a beautiful and amazing family but they're knowledge and assistance in helping myself as well as many other members feel better about working out and staying healthy and in shape! It's a wonderful facility and is constantly kept clean not only by staff members but we all pitch in to keep the facility clean by wiping the machines down after using them as well as wearing clean gear while working out and exercising! It's a wonderful environment for everyone and you'll feel right at home no matter what who you are. We all keep each other striving to be better and stay healthy! Thanks Bob...

Male owner was hostile because I came in unannounced. This operation wrongly snags customers from the Silver Sneakers and United Healthcare's Renew Active programs and refuses to accept those insurances without a 16.00/month upcharge. Honestly, really you guys??? The basic gym use from either one of those providers should be at no charge. I'd say that type of practice is dishonest and deceptive, so I would question their operation and intentions to be truly genuine, and truly care for a person's well being, including people paying for physical therapy and the quality of those programs as well. I would use another gym that is fair, honest and not trying to scrape every dollar from a potential customer. Using the health care providers for marketing to gain a paying customer is not kewl when this basic gym membership should be free. Afterall, their address /location is listed as a free gym provider with either of the above programs. Not kewl.. I recently joined EOS and they are very caring of my...

When I started working out at Southwest Fitness 17 months ago, it was at the recommendation of my nephew who loved working out there, and worked out every evening (before moving out of state). He told me about the owners, Kristen and Bob and their encouragement and expertise. Since my nephew is a former Ranger in the Armed Services, I thought at first that their gym catered to "jocks" like him. However, after joining Southwest Fitness, I realized that Kristen and Bob have created a gym that caters to everyone who wants to be more physically fit, and to have fun doing it. I have taken five out of the last six "boot-camps" run by Kristen, and have become a little bit of a "jock" myself (losing inches and pounds, while gaining strength, confidence and aerobic capacity). The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming; the gym is clean; the prices modest; and the equipment well-maintained. This is the first gym I've ever liked enough to stay with. Bravo, Bob...
