Fitness 1 Gym — Local services in Phoenix

Well maintained, custom equipment, friendly staff, and clean environment! There are always two sides to every coin: a reward or a punishment. Covid-19 was nothing but challenging on many fronts, but, a reward of the pandemic is the closing of "big box" gyms I had previously sought out to maintain my physique at. On the verge of a mental breakdown "sheltering in place" alone, a friend recommended I check out Fitness1 Gym 35th and Union Hills. I met Chad and was given a tour of the facility. While it certainly isn't the largest facility, every square inch, is utilized to the benefit of US (the members). There are so many "cool" pieces of equipment that are older and you won't find in the new gym chains. While the equipment is older, you'd never know it by mechanical wear - each cable, resistance, and plate loaded machine well cared for. Lubricated, pads refaced, etc. The best part of the facility is the family there - if you are a stranger, well you won't be for long. You'll be accepted as part of our family; where judgments aren't passed, heavy lifting is encouraged, and results are complimented. If you read all this, what the hell are you waiting for? Go to Fitness1 Gym....

AMERICA'S GYM! What a fantastic place to train and build fitness community! Top down from the owner, the team, the trainers/coaches and members, Fitness 1 offers the best environment to transform your fitness and in some instances, your life.

The equipment is vast and exceptionally maintained. The owner invests time and energy into ensuring we have the best and most current equipment available by bringing in new machines regularly.

This gym caters to all levels of fitness seekers to include those interested in fitness 'classes', functional training, body builders/competitors and everyone in between.

The best thing about Fitness 1 is that it's a privately owned gym with no corporate BS and politics. The owner is from the immediate area, is well-respected in the Phoenix-area fitness/gym community and really does everything he can to enhance the experience inside and ensure his members are safe.

People come to Fitness 1 from all over the valley to experience this place- make sure you...

I love this gym!!! Let me tell you why... EVERYONE (and I mean everyone) is so friendly there. The trainers especially (cough Maya Papaya and Tony). Even though they aren't getting paid by you, they still help any time that they notice your form is off and correct you. The owner, Chad, always says "good morning" to everyone he sees. The cute little front desk gal, Sophia...I think, is sweet as can be, very smart, and can answer all your questions. They have some of the best equipment I have ever seen and all of them work like new. To top it off, they have a handy vending machine with protein shakes that you can grab on your way out, along with super cute merch. It's not as clean or as fancy as the other gyms, but honestly... I'd still choose it over any other. Not to mention, the owner is a PATRIOT and he respects your right to choose 😉...
