Best Gyms with Basketball Courts near Tucson, Arizona

Honestly, I drive on Grant Rd daily so I passed this place for over 3 years and I never knew how cool this place is for kids of all ages. Indoor hoops and pool tables and arts and crafts. Not to mention they host AA which I will be attending in the future. A hidden gem for kids and adults/seniors, and looking forward to their upcoming events and summer programs for the kids. Also the same great staff from the Marty Birdman Center, whom my kids know so just a great friendly environment!

I have been going to this gym for years to play team basketball or just shoot around. It's only $1.50 to get in. The courts are very nice. Sometimes there's no wait at all to get on the court. The folks that work there are great folks and very friendly. Outside are nice fields and a covered outdoor court in case there was a wait. It's a great place for a jog as well. The parking is easy. The only thing to be aware of is that they do have groups who are scheduled to use the courts or game rooms at times. Check their website for the calendar of events. Really, there's nothing negative to say about this center.

The Donna liggins center it's where I call home I grew up in this park my grandmother's house is right at the bottom of the park where the alley is when we were kids we used to say the park is our backyard my cousin Bryce cotton if you want to look him up he's a legend in the NBL he has four championships 4 MVP awards and the gym and the basketball court on the outside is where he learned how to play his game growing up I think one day they need to name the court after him he is a product of the north side and Mansfield Park

I am in the seniors division. It is well-maintained. Staff does the little extra.

This is an amazing facility. Clean, with great interior, and the exterior park areas are well kept!

Very clean gym with a great friendly staff. The gym can be very busy, but it's so big and well equipped I've never had a problem finding a space or equipment I wanted to use. I take advantage of the free senior classes. Cristine is the facilitator and does a wonderful job. She pushes us (in a good way) to be our best fit self. She plans classes that works on cardio, muscle and balance.

One of my favorites gym in Tucson. It’s been busier than usual if you want a good workout you have to be there at opening otherwise it’s packed. There’s no GHD machine and the college kids like to hang out. For these reasons alone I’m considering looking into another gym. But I will always love VASA.

Very amazing gym. The staff are always friendly and out going. Trainers are always available to help. Have had issues before and front desk was quick to fix or provide numbers to call, or the General manager was very friendly and quick to call and fix issues if needed. The revive section is always filled and easy to find the drinks or snacks you need. Gym is clean if things break maintenance tech is always quick at fixing the problem. Just wish they’d open a new gym in Vail, Az for all us that make the drive our towns growing please consider a new gym out there would help in crowd this gym in the afternoons. Would highly recommend this gym.

Love this gym, probably the best for the price in Tucson. But this little machine and anyone who is shorter than 5’4” might as well have zero ribs… I’ve been to plenty of gyms and never had a problem with the shortest setting… here, I leave with bruises on my stomach every time. If it’s one thing they could invest in was this hyperextension machine

We have two great senior fit instructors Christina and Emily. Dynamic, knowledgeable, fun, and good music! Workout is adaptable for all fitness levels. 💪 i am working out harder now than I did in regular classes when I was in my fifties. My planks are awesome!

Overall please with my experience. My children have Kennedy middle school aftercare program and seem to like it. My only complaint is the gym hours could be extended. The Jacuzzi needs a good sanitation and needs to be a lot hotter. The sauna should be much more hot in temperature. The steam room needs to be sanitized and rules need to be enforced. People need to shower and not wear stinky gym clothes into the steam room And believe that for the cost of the membership these changes should be easy to fix.

Scheduled an appointment with the ECE to enroll my daughter. We showed up, granted a couple minutes late because the parking lot is confusing, and no one knew we were coming. It almost seemed as if I was bothering them with showing up- the two ladies in the office weren’t warm by any means, there was no greeting, no getting to know us, no welcoming, just “someone will be by.” Took the tour. It was incredibly rushed because there was a meeting at 9:45 that our guide had to attend (our appointment was for 9 am). She often times came off as impatient as I worked to navigate my 3yo around a new environment. I made it a point to ask about spot availability and made it clear that I needed to have my daughter enrolled in a program in two weeks. She assured me that they had several open spots. At the end of the tour, an application was basically tossed my way as she rushed off to her meeting and we were left in the lobby. Several staff members passed us by while we sat there and there was no hi, hello, welcome. I tried to turn in the application the following Monday (tour was Thursday). I Didn’t really know where to go or who to drop it off to- no guidance was provided when I was tossed the application, so I went into the JCC. The guy at the counter was confused… had never seen the application before. Called the ECE and I was told to schedule an appointment for a tour. I had already mentioned that we had already done the tour and I just needed to turn the application in. He didn’t know what to do with it, so again called back and one of the unfriendly ladies from the office on our tour day came and grabbed it. Again… not welcoming or friendly. But hey, I liked the facility and program… so maybe she was having an off day…again. I asked when I could expect to hear anything and she said “maybe Friday.” I called in Wednesday to follow up on the application and to make sure that there was still an opening for my daughter. I was told that it would be looked at Friday and that they didn’t know if there was availability. I explained that during the tour I was told that there were spots open, and I again stressed that I needed my daughter to start 1st week In September. Again, told I would get a call Friday. Friday at 1630 (today) I call for an update. Left a message and received a call back shortly after. There was a part time spot, M-W but no full time option available. This is not what I was told when I toured, and I was pretty upset that this wasn’t communicated sooner. There needs to be good communication- when it comes to children especially. The fact that NO ONE knew what was going on- from the tour guide who assured me there was FT spots available and I would be able to start my daughter when needed, the 1st week In September, to the unwelcoming office staff, to the JCC front desk, through no fault of his own, was completely clueless as far as the ECE, to the way applications were evaluated once a week on Fridays, to the program director who was unapologetic to the fact that her staff told me there were FT spots open while she communicated only PT spots were available. AND it took a week to tell me that they didn’t have the availability I needed. You can’t run a good organization on broken communication. Processes need to be streamlined, and the staff could benefit from being more outgoing and warm.

It is a wonderful place. My only issue is that fitness class providers are way too forceful. Some attendees are very fit, I am fit as well but I got hurt in every class I went, they start hard and no stretching, some of them actually go pretty crazy with the speed. I resorted to go to acqua fit, but the lady that was on Tuesday was the very same one that does another class where I got injured. Although many were happy with the acqua fit class, most did not follow, her routine was not apt for the pool. The other two acqua instructors on Sunday and Thursday do get it right. Too bad I will have to skip Tuesdays from now on

Unsanitary facility. My child was eating small crumbs off the ground as he was a week prior when i abruptly stopped by to pick him up early. For them to allow toddlers to eat left over food particles off the ground in the first place raises red flags! Your child can be eating anything whether edible or not and they could care less !

Awesome gym with great views of Tucson, friendly staff, great new tennis + pickleball courts, childcare options are family and schedule friendly. Great smart COVID protocols and the building feels safe to visit.
