Best Gyms with Functional Training Equipment near Chandler, Arizona

Vasa Gym in Chandler is hands down one of the best gyms I’ve been to! The space is massive, and even during peak hours, you never have to wait long for the machines or free weights you want to use. The entire facility is spotless, and the amenities are top-notch with a steam room, dry sauna, and a pool that’s perfect for unwinding after a workout. Their selection of protein snacks, pre-workouts, and drinks is both convenient and reasonably priced. Plus, the staff is incredibly friendly, always creating a welcoming and positive environment. They also have massage chairs, a tanning room, and an awesome cinema room where you can work out while enjoying a movie—such a unique touch! With personal training, Studio Red, and a range of fitness classes, there’s truly something for everyone here. I absolutely love this gym! If they were open 24 hours, it would be perfect, but even without that, Vasa Gym Chandler is a place I highly recommend. The staff and overall atmosphere make every workout experience a great one!

I've been coming here for a little of a year. My one and only during my fitness journey. Was in a pretty dark place but started here, I've lost around 80 (ish) pounds and genuinely a new lease on life. In a lot of ways the staff, who is the most friendly out of ANY gym in the valley, and the facility itself has saved my life.

I absolutely love this location in Chandler Arizona VASA Fitness has helped me achieve my strength training goals in an environment where I feel welcomed today I just met Tiare and she was sweet sincere and knowledgeable about VASA I’ve been a member since May 2024 and Sakyra Keeps me accountable SHE has a positive out look on life health and fitness. If it wasn’t for the two ladies at this location I wouldn’t have a gym membership because of these ladies I feel welcomed and comfortable at this gym Thank you again for being supportive and helpful.

My favorite place! Love ALL of the staff - especially the front desk Julie & Elijah! My kiddo loves the kids care staff & enjoys coming to see them every week. They are so sweet and patient with him - makes it even better that I can take him to play while I workout. AND cannot forget all of the friends I’ve made since joining the gym! Friendly people and AMAZING instructors I love to see each day! Wish I could name THEM ALL but I do love the trainers I see on the regular - Christine and Wendy! And Amanda & Rita … the list could go on and on … :)

Wanted to just leave a quick review about how amazing this gym is. First off, Jess Gonzalez is the best. Initially we just became friendly because I’m there almost every single day and I’m an outgoing and friendly enough fella as she is with the people in the gym. Through our interactions and her walking the gym she’d give me little pointers to try out so my old body wouldn’t hurt so badly. She was letting me know how important form is instead of just being a full on silverback gorilla who was trying to lift everything I could see. As time went on things started to hurt a little less and I actually started to get stronger so I decided to sign up for some personal training with her. The results of that training were nothing short of incredible in my mind. I became stronger, leaner, more mobile and agile; I just felt great and it was all done with a friendly professionalism that is very rare these days. The training I did with her was THE best thing I’ve done in my workout career which has spanned many, many years. Thank you, Jess. The rest of the staff is also pretty fantastic but I’ve never worked with anyone else so I can only comment on their desire to help and the friendly professionalism that you’d hope to encounter in a gym sort of environment. The gym is clean, the gym-goers are (mostly) friendly and I couldn’t ask for a better place to spend so much of my time. Fantastic gym, all around.

10/10. From the staff at the front greeting us, the cleanliness of everything and the environment. We stopped in for about an hour and a half for a quick night workout. When we got done, we went to shower in the locker rooms. The lady was cleaning the bathroom and showers and pointed me right to one she just cleaned and recommended that one while she cleans the others since it was just done! She was cleaning the rest of the locker room even when I got out of the shower and was getting ready to leave. The place was beautiful. Smelled good, no gym mustiness. The mirrors were even clean. Showers were huge with the attach spot to get dressed. We had a great experience here.

I like the cleanliness of the facility and the spaciousness and the earned to a bus stop. I have been to many PF’s and always rate them. This guy that I’ve seen in the mornings between 9-10 am weekdays has No personality. He seems rude in tone. Or is it just unfriendly matter of fact personality? I ask if they have a bandaid, my finger dripping blood. No paper towel in RR when I rinsed it. Any other PF I’ve been at would have tried to find one. Although maybe he was the only one working? He just seems unfriendly. It’s the 2d time I’ve felt that. There’s never a hello or goodbye in this place either.

I’ve been going to Planet Fitness now for 1.5 years. What I like about this location is how judgement-free it is, how clean it is, and how close to home it is. All the workout machines are nicely laid out, and the staff is always able to assist if you have a question. Ryan is a cool guy who’ll always greet ya with a smile and tell ya, “enjoy your workout”, and “have a nice day”. I highly recommend this gym.

This is my favorite Planet Fitness in the area by far. The main reason is that the music is not overly loud. Most PFs blast the music so loud that I can hear it over my own headphones. I always feel peaceful and relaxed when I come in here for a workout. I hope they continue to keep the music at a reasonable volume.

I'm a 70 yr old male, & would highly recommend this location! Friendly & knowledgeable instructor(s) / staff, wide range of equipment. was pleasantly surprised at the smooth flow of all machines tried.

I still absolutely love this F45 location. They are always encouraging and helpful. They also help to know and understand what you want out of the classes and get you to reach your goals. I am 6 months postpartum and they helped me stay active throughout my entire pregnancy and when I came back. Best gym ever with the best views 💪 💯

I’ve been doing HIIT workouts for several years before transitioning to F45. The gym I previously attended went out of business, so I went gym shopping. F45 provided me with the intensity I was looking for. I am naturally high-energy, so I need workouts that make me sweat and increase my heart rate. Here is why I chose F45 Chandler North: · Challenging and creative exercises are always done in 45 minutes. · The music is always ON-POINT! · Easy to use App to reserve classes and virtual workouts when you are out of town. · The trainers pay attention and coach. They make adjustments on the fly to challenge me. They have people skills and are funny. · Workouts change every four weeks to avoid redundancy. · Julia, the head trainer, communicates with me if I am away for a while. · A very welcoming vibe and atmosphere · The Saturday classes are a fun challenge as the workout is 1-hour long. · All ability and experience levels are welcome. · Their fantastic heart monitor program helps me track my heart rate during workouts. · The weekly workout schedule is divided into strength/resistance, cardio, and hybrid. · They schedule multiple wellness challenge events to help clients increase focus on healthy lifestyle habits. · Plenty of locations within the valley for clients to visit other gyms without being charged. · I enjoy the diversity and mix of younger and older clients. · I am 41 years old and in the best shape of my life. · If you’re looking for exclusive heavy weightlifting and don’t care much about cardio days and body weight exercises, this gym might not be a good fit. Lastly, the cost is probably pricier than most gyms, but you are paying for superb service and training. They are flexible if you need to pause your account, and many membership plans exist. I paid for the entire year upfront because it was cheaper long-term. I know it’s more expensive than most gyms, but I consider F45 a long-term health investment to keep me healthy and help me lead a sustainable lifestyle. Please go check out F45 and try their 7-day pass. I am sure you won’t be disappointed!

I went in on a Friday and trained with Adriana. The experience was very unpleasant. She was not professional at all. It was my first time there and she didn’t help me, she seemed to be focused on only helping the men. She didn’t explain the pods or workout well, even though she knew it was my first time there. The music was very sexual and gross, like something you would hear at a strip club. The girl next to me tried to help me, but she was working out so she asked the manager to help me and he finally did. Another lady came to me for help too and I told her I was new and did not know. I will not be going back.

This is easily the best F45 Studio in the valley, and probably in the country. The coaches are incredibly helpful and always push me to be better!

I love this location! The trainers and members are so nice. I love being able to come in and get my workout done without the hassle of waiting for different equipment. The workouts are fun too!!

Love this Gym but most of all the people!!! EVERY trainer is friendly and supportive. I work directly with Kyle and he has been amazing! Custom tailored work outs for you and what your goals are. I’ve worked with several trainers in the past and non have had the attention to detail or concern that Kyle has. Joey also was super nice on my tour. But honestly, everyone here is awesome. If you are thinking about training or even just working out, do it! This is the place to be! I personally highly suggest getting a trainer and let them set you on a path to success.

I highly recommend 480 Fitness; Tyler and his team in Chandler are about the difference between “Going to a trainer” and “Training.” They don’t look up the latest trends on social media or copy generic workout plans; instead, they customize each training session and overall program to your individual goals while continuously adjusting it as your body responds and changes over time. This is the best gym in the East Valley, AND it’s locally owned. The facility is always kept clean by the friendly staff; plus, they are constantly upgrading machines and adding more squat racks to make sure you can always get your workout in without waiting.

Great fitness center. Has all your equipment for olympic lifts and all the machines you could possibly want. Staff is down to earth and actually look like personal trainers. The Day care is awesome. This place is legit.

Not a huge gym but I've never had to wait for someone to finish using a machine. Clean, good atmosphere, and everyone's friendly which is a big plus

Very happy with this membership. Friendly staff, great facility. Some machines but plenty of free weights. They even have an impact room with reinforced floors if you want to exercise olympic lifts. I've never had to wait for a rack or any free weights. They have thrive classes and other group classes as well. This place is legit. Highly recommend.

Nathalie and Chris helped me sort out a billing issue that other branches were not trying to look into. They went the extra mile to make sure I was treated right. During these times it’s very hard to come across unselfish and helpful individuals, and I definitely got lucky to have received their help. Picture from a different branch (where they wouldn’t bother helping me) since I was away from home, but this Chandler location is always in pristine condition and the staff is very friendly.

I just started going to Eos and I love it! It's clean, has great equipment, is a good size, offers classes, and the staff is great! I am regularly there in the morning and with each morning i come in and leave Chris is so kind to remember my name and greet me as i walk in and leave. If you need anything, ASK CHRIS! He is great.

My wife has the black membership, so she gets to bring a guest whenever she wants. I go with her when I have a day off. The staff is friendly, and they have never pressured me to get my own membership (though they do offer). There is a good variety of weights and machines, very clean, busy but workable

I go to this gym pretty regularly but it's hard to rate it higher than a 2. Any given day half the paper towel dispensers are empty. The equipment is... probably never cleaned. The treadmills are definitely poorly cleaned. It's just a shame how poorly maintained this gym is. I even submitted feedback via the website and never heard back. What do employees even do here?

Best experience in gyms for a reasonable rate I live Eos!

My son has been training at Ignite for the past year, his strength, speed and agility have all improved significantly. More importantly, his confidence and mental approach to football has improved even more. The coaches are great to work with and my son loves going to train. I highly recommend Ignite to any athlete looking to improve their game.

Ignite is an amazing facility with amazing staff! I have seen a huge difference in my son's strength and speed since he started training with them. I highly recommend Ignite to anyone looking to improve their athletic performance.

My Daughter started going to Ignite Performance in January 2022. I have seen such a huge improvement in her strength and agility in the short time she has been going there. The coaches are amazing. They are very knowledgeable and professional. They also make it a fun atmosphere to work out in. I would highly recommend Ignite Performance.

Ignite is AMAZING and couldn't be more happy! My daughter 17 yr old plays ball, her arm/shoulder was really bad for about a year prior to working out with Javi. We tried many methods of recovery including PT, Time off, K-T Tape, MRI's, X-rays, the list goes on. Her pain level was a 9 everytime she would throw a ball for many months, then we met Javi and within 1 mth, her arm was feeling so much better and the pain seemed to dissipate everytime she did a workout. She is now about 3 months in and her arm is totally back to normal. She has gained velocity, range, flexibility and support. We couldn't be more happy with the outcome. Thank you Ignite!

Since joining Ignite in June of last year, my granddaughter has transformed her body enabling her to be a D1 prospect. The support and dedication the coaches provide is second to none. Thank you Rob for all you do.JP

Great place! Instructors are awesome and very patient. People who go here are all ages & all experiences/fitness levels, and I felt very welcomed from day one. Highly recommended for someone wanting to learn a new sport or workout, or for those who are more experienced that want trainers to help take it to the next level.

Boxout is the best place I’ve ever worked out at! Before I would struggle to get to the gym even 2 days a week and now I’m going almost 6 times! The instructors are all so knowledgeable and patient! I had never boxed before I came here and I swear I had two left feet, now it’s been 3 months and I feel so confident and in the best shape I’ve been! The owner Vicky is so kind and always willing to help in any way she can, even if it’s not related to boxing! I would recommend this place to any and everyone! This community and place has been such a big step in my journey, thank you!!!

Joining Boxout has been nothing short of transformative for me. From the moment I walked in, I felt a sense of community and inclusivity that is truly unparalleled. This gym isn't just a place to train—it's a sanctuary where physical and mental health are nurtured in equal measure. The classes here are phenomenal. Each session is thoughtfully designed to push your limits while catering to all skill levels, ensuring that everyone can progress at their own pace. The physical benefits are immediate and profound: improved strength, better endurance, and a noticeable boost in overall fitness. But the mental health benefits are equally impressive. The structured workouts and the challenge of boxing have provided me with a powerful outlet for stress, enhancing my mood and mental clarity. What sets Boxout apart is the genuine support and inclusivity from everyone involved. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and approachable, always ready to provide guidance and encouragement. They take the time to understand individual goals and needs, making sure everyone feels seen and valued. The owner’s passion for fostering a positive and inclusive environment resonates throughout the gym, making it a truly special place to be. But it’s not just the coaches and owner; the camaraderie among members is something extraordinary. The positive, supportive atmosphere makes every class enjoyable and motivating. It feels like a family, where people lift each other up and celebrate each other's successes. On a personal level, Boxout has profoundly impacted my life. It has instilled in me a newfound sense of self-confidence of which have permeated into other areas of my life. The resilience and focus I've developed through boxing have helped me tackle challenges with a fresh perspective. In summary, Boxout is more than just a gym; it’s a community that enriches your life in numerous ways. If you're looking for a place where you can improve your physical fitness, enhance your mental well-being, and be part of a welcoming, supportive community, this is the place to be.

Such a great place if you want to push your yourself and have support a long the way! Their classes are awesome with the best instructors. You can get 1 on 1 coaching, open gym and more.. Been going here for awhile and they have tons of heavy bags, rings, weights and all of the equipment you need. Best gym I've been tom HIGHLY suggest :)

Freakn LOVE this place! I’ve worked out at many gyms across the country and with many trainers of all levels and BoxOut only has the best of the best. Training here you are sure to receive top notch guidance from some of the most skilled certified fitness coaches around. They offer instruction for all ages and provide expert advice to help you along the way.

Having just retired I made the decision to try CHP about 6 months ago. I had never really done any structured training or lifting but really wanted to get into shape and most importantly be healthy. I was a little intimidated at first but the coaches and owner were so welcoming and took the time to scale the workouts to my ability. The community in this gym is so encouraging and really helps push me to do better everyday. I would totally recommend Chandler Health and Performance to anyone who wants a great gym community and to get in or stay in shape.

CF Infernal is great gym, the members and the coaches are very friendly and welcoming. The programming is well thought out and can be easily scaled to meet everyone’s needs. I have tried multiple gyms in the East Valley, and this is the best, hands down.

I started at CF Infernal on March of this year and since then I've been improving a lot, every week is a new baby step that I take. The coaches are knowledgeable, the environment is amazing and they have awesome athletes to inspire you! Andrew and Kyle (coaches) are always giving me good tips to improve my performance during the classes. Besides that, they have a great Open Gym time and it's really good if you wanna do your own thing or even the WOD of the day. I highly recommend this place!

I attended this gym for about 5 months during my stay in AZ. I have significant physical limitations due to neurological damage but I enjoy doing CrossFit. The trainers at this gym were incredible. They took the time during each session to ensure that I worked the correct muscle groups to build the strength necessary. By the end of my stay in Arizona, I was able to do many of the exercises that I could not even safely attempt initially. I am extremely grateful for all of the trainers and their time. Going to this gym has allowed me to have an easier time functioning in every day life. The community is great as well. People there are friendly, down to earth, and supportive. With these trainers and this type of community, CrossFit is truly for everyone. We all start at different levels but with the support of others and drive from within ourselves, most can do this type of exercise. I genuinely enjoyed my time and wish I could have stayed longer.

I've been in CrossFit for close to 3 years and I've been to a number of boxes. Infernal is one of my favorites. George and Bonnie were extremely welcoming and made me feel at home. I spent a few days here and got everything I'd expect from a solid box: good people, good instruction and good programming. I'd be at Infernal more often if I lived in the area, and I most definitely will be there when I'm visiting.

This has been my home gym for the last couple of years. I do enjoy it, but improvements need to be made in the near future. There are a lot of older machines that need updating. Love the sauna and steam room but typically a bit dirty. Also, there is a continuous black mold in the showers. This needs to be addressed.

Facility is staffed by teenagers that look like they hate their job. Called to cancel my membership was only told I had to come in in person to cancel and then was told I have to come it before 8 pm after I had already wasted time and gas money to get there. Gym charges way too much for the limited equipment. Very frustrated do not recommend to anyone.

When I moved to Gilbert from Scottsdale almost three years ago, one of my priorities was to find a gym. In my 65 years on this planet, I have belonged to more gyms, including CrossFit boxes than I care to remember. However, within minutes of walking into Mountainside Fitness in Gilbert, and receiving a tour of the facilities, I knew I had found THE gym I was looking for. Mountainside offers a tremendous variety of premium strength training equipment, fitness classes, state-of-the-art cardio equipment, personal training & full service locker rooms, all of which is well maintained, and the facility is incredibly clean, with extraordinarily professional, knowledgeable, friendly & engaging staff. And speaking of their staff, I wish to commend membership services staff member, Amanda M. @ the Chandler location, who went way above and beyond to properly convert my membership to a "Renew Active- Optum" membership via my health insurance. Amanda was able to convert my membership by next day. In my opinion Amanda M. is a tremendous asset to Mountainside Fitness. Amanda made the entire process seamless. I now drive an extra 8 miles to the Chandler gym because of staff members like Amanda in addition to the above mentioned amenities, this facility has a great vibe! Highly recommend!!

Steven at Ray and Cooper was amazing. The customer service he provided was top notch. He took care of my issue in a blink of an eye. Steven thank you again!!

As a person who has access to all the gyms across the valley this place is on my top picks. This gym is very clean with nice amenities. Staff is always welcoming and friendly. The gym has good equipment that I usually favor over other locations. I do favor that they use lysol wipes over a paper dispenser and spray bottle like most gyms (Esporta/EoS). The lighting in the bar area is on point and this place gets busy but not unlike other gyms I've been to where you instantly regret going since you have to wait for a machine. The crowd is mature. You have a few teens here and there but mostly people who are looking to get a good workout. You will see a lot of familiar faces so thats good if you want to establish yourself. Some people are very intense though. You will see people who have competed in the past and who currently are competing but its not as bad a Independence gym. Overall, if you want a nice gym with nice amenities that isn't too busy, and you can afford the monthly price, I would recommend going here.

Dear Owner/Franchisee, I really know this place. For years, it has been my gym because of how close my home is to it. I’m usually here at least 6 times a week. I’m not venting here. Instead, I’m taking time to quickly share 2 points in the hopes of you making positive change which helps all. 1. Never have I known a gym to take longer on equipment repairs. This pec deck today is the latest example. You have just 2 of these here and it has been broken for weeks. Please don’t claim this is an isolated incident. Just before this, 1 of 2 abs machines was down for weeks. Such has been the pattern here for years. Members of your staff get frustrated because they hear all complaints, but you give them no power to get things done quicker. Money is not the issue. A former manager told me how lucrative this gym is. Truth be told, multiple staffers have long supported me in writing such a piece. In closing on your staff, I’ve enjoyed time with many of these people over the years. It’s a shame the morale hasn’t been better to minimize employee turnover. This effort of mine is honest and genuine . Hence I give you permission to contact me should you value this feedback.

Awesome value and great, friendly staff! No pressure, comfortable environment. What a great experience! Newly remodeled. Very clean. Friendly staff. Not too crowded. Very comfortable atmosphere for a gym. Perfect for a new gym user to get comfortable with working out.

The staff at this location are so kind and hardworking. I joined over a year ago and can say the gym and locker room are always immaculate. I never have to wait for a machine—tons of space and lots of options from free weights to cardio, plus plyo and stretch area. I always feel safe and welcome here and I feel that I get a lot of value out of the membership.

Everyone here is so nice here as always. Everyone is very friendly, patient, and I get my personal space! The staff is great here too! Like very professional and helpful. Good customer service. This gym is very clean and well organized. I love coming to this planet fitness.

I love the recent improvement to the club, the new perks with the black card and the newer equipment. I have been to other locations and was very happy when I saw that my local Planet Fitness got a revamp. The staff and the trainer on site are always helpful, friendly and supportive of my goals. I feel safe in this environment and it is truly a no judgement zone. This is the first time I’ve ever felt confident and safe in the gym and It has given me the push to keep going. Thank you Planet Fitness!

I have been going to FIT Society for a little over a month now and absolutely love it. The workouts are hard but also fun at the same time. The workouts change daily which keeps it interesting. All of the coaches are fantastic. I highly recommend joining if you are looking to get in shape.

FIT SOCIETY is helping me take my fitness NEXT LEVEL!! I love the group setting to keep me motivated and the coaches are amazing! They provide all kinds of inspiration! They also give guidance to help me with my form, ensuring prevention of injuries!! Loving it! ♥️

Best gym in the Chandler area, people are friendly, encouraging, and fun to be around. The gym is well maintained and so dang clean. The community hub center is fantastic, offering cold brew, protein bars, snacks and macro ready to go meals. Free seminars, clinics for members and accountability and a nutrition program built into membership. Wow. Love it here.

After a month of workouts at Fit Society, I can confidently say it’s become my favorite place to exercise. What sets this gym apart isn’t just the facility or the training programs; the incredibly supportive community makes every workout something to look forward to. From day one, I was greeted by friendly faces—both fellow gym-goers and staff—who made me feel welcome and supported. The coaches are exceptional, offering the right balance of guidance and independence. They are adept at teaching proper techniques, which is invaluable for both beginners and experienced athletes. This ensures everyone can train safely and effectively, without feeling intimidated or embarrassed about their current fitness level. The workouts themselves can be challenging but in a way that makes you feel stronger after each one. Each session is designed to push you and ensure you progress towards greater strength and fitness. The sense of accomplishment after each workout is motivating. Fit Society goes beyond physical workouts. It's a place that nurtures a vibrant community spirit with monthly activities and meet-ups, enhancing your sense of belonging. They also provide comprehensive wellness support, including nutritional advice, ensuring you can tackle your health and fitness from all angles. If you’re looking for a gym that offers more than just exercise equipment, where you are continuously challenged and supported to achieve your personal best, Fit Society is, without a doubt, the place to be. I can’t recommend it enough!

Amazing facility and excellent coaching by Tanner Dixon. Their values, community, fitness, and coaching is top notch! They WELCOME walk-ins! They also have really cool swag, shirts, hats, etc. Flexible hours- 7 days a week! Go check them it!
