Tucson Strength — Local services in Tucson

Hands down the best gym I’ve ever belonged to, with the most down-to-earth and knowledgeable owner and staff I could hope to encounter.

I came across Danny and Tucson Strength several years ago when looking for an intelligent and well-versed trainer when my daughter needed to build strength after suffering an ACL tear. Danny’s knowledge of functional movement and individual attention to my daughter made him stand out far above all the other trainers I spoke with. He and his staff understand that every body is different, so the attention to the unique characteristics of every body and personal goals - it is not a cookie cutter place where people just throw weights around in order to look good.

After Danny worked with my daughter, I was impressed enough that I came back with a friend and began one-on-one personal training with Christian. We have stuck with this for over a year now, three times a week, and I cannot express my appreciation enough for the intelligence and personalization Christian brings to the workouts- but also a great personality that makes this 50-something woman feel at ease even though I am clearly not the “gym bro type”. There are lots of guys who work out here, too, don’t get me wrong. But I’ve never felt out of place nor confronted with women wearing heavy makeup and preening in the mirrors like I have been at other gyms.

There is a huge range of clientele in terms of men and women of all ages- from younger teens to retired people, from people who compete in power lifting competitions to those stepping into the gym for the first time ever. What is astounding is that EVERY SINGLE PERSON is put at ease and is treated with respect and professionalism, both from staff and from every other member I’ve ever encountered.

I personally had experience in lots of different kinds of gyms in my lifetime. I have played sports, done CrossFit, run marathons and worked out by myself and with trainers. My friend and workout partner had never lifted a weight before in her life before setting foot in Tucson Strength. For both of us, the gym and our workouts there with Christian are often the best parts of our week. We leave feeling positive and stronger, and never embarrassed or that we didn’t belong.

Thank you, Danny, for putting together and running a fantastic place for people to work out. And thank you, Christian, for challenging us and making us stronger and more knowledgeable about our bodies, and somehow still allowing us to have fun while doing it. I cannot recommend a gym or trainer...

TL;DR: This place is amazing and you want to work out here.

This place is the best. It is hands down the best gym I've ever been apart of (and I've been apart of many). From personal training to the barbell club to open gym--I have everything good to say about Tucson Strength. The trainers here are knowledgeable and kind and provide a ton of support--even if you're not their client. The personal training is actually worth the cost--it's effective and educational. Everyone is so friendly--the staff and the members. People learn and remember your name. They remember what's going on with you and they ask how you're doing. The owner Danny is just a remarkable human and has helped me so much over the last couple years. He's generous with his time and knowledge and also hilarious. I've struggled with consistency and he just keeps trudging with me to figure out what's best for me and what I need. I'm so grateful for that. The gym is always clean when I'm there, there's lots of equipment (esp. stuff you don't see at other gyms) and space...the turf area is great for pushing sleds and stretching and it's large enough that I don't feel like I'm on top of other people to stretch comfortably. The outdoor area is dope too and even though I rarely use it, I like having the option. Tucson Sports Recovery also has a space in the gym and they've helped me a ton. Massages and dry needling have helped keep me functioning well. Shout out Noah/Graham/Jody--y'all are great. 5 stars for you guys too. The biggest thing for me at Tucson Strength I think is..it's safe. I feel safe there and I feel welcomed there and I feel like people care and that's not something I can say for all the other gyms I've been to. A+, two thumbs up, double high fives--Tucson Strength,...

(I am submitting this review after working out at TS for a little over two weeks now) Since I will be staying in AZ for a period of time, I wanted to find a gym that would suit my needs and help me with my short term powerlifting and fitness goals. I cannot say enough about how glad I found Tucson Strength! When I searched the interweb for a local gym, photos of the equipment, layout and other members is what first caught my attention. Next, once I had a chance to meet the owner and his staff, and see the facility for myself, I knew this would be a good fit for me. The equipment and facility are very well maintained. There are classes, machines, weight apparatus, and other notables for every type of person at every kind of fitness level with a goal in mind. The best part of it all, everyone works along side everyone else. You get to see all of the trainers interact with all the clients which gives you first hand experience to how this gym and their personnel operate. I have worked with the owner, Danny, for three sessions as of this review and am looking forward to his assistance over the next few months. I look toward each session as a learning experience and a brief view to what my body is capable of.

There is a sign outside this business that relates to this not being a $9.99 a month gym. That's right, it is not a $9.99 a month gym. No truer words are spoken than "You get what you pay for" when you sign on at Tucson Strength. Leave your ego at the door, come in, get your workout done, enjoy some conversation if you see fit, make a friend or workout partner, then leave sweaty and...
