Best Gyms with Functional Training Equipment near Mesa, Arizona

Had a great experience here. Jackie took the time to give a tour and explain everything. The place is clean and quiet. I like that they maintain rules about not slamming weights or engaging in attention demanding loud grunting as it disrupts everyone else’s focus. I had a rigorous workout followed by a hydro massage. Will be here every day!

Planet Fitness, just few short miles away, is clean, well-maintained, and recently added new machines. The equipment is always in great condition, and the friendly staff ensures a welcoming environment. Great value for a quality gym!

I called this morning (12/5) to transfer my membership to a different state in order to cancel. To be fair, I was not in the best mood and was probably not nice to the nice lady who helped me. She informed me that i couldnt cancel unless i paid the annual fee that was due (even though I had not gone to the gym in that state/in general for over 2 years). She ended up waiving the fees after I called back. Amazing customer service to my grumpy self. Did not catch her name but do recommend this location as it was clean and in a safe area.

The showers at this location are absolutely disgusting, dirty, stink, garbage in stalls. I feel dirty even after showering. Inside lockers are dirty as well. Have told front desk couple times and nothing changes. might have to find a different gym to go to. First time i tried planet fitness. Now i know why they are the cheapest. I guess you get what you pay for.

Christian is Manager at the Mesa location. He is amazing. He makes everyone feel at home. He is very kind and professional. Great staff. The facility is always clean. Great experience. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this gym prior to the new owners/management. I enjoyed that the prior management provided a water cooler, now you have to purchase water which is outrageous because water is a basic human necessity that is provided at any establishment and you have to use Venmo to do so. You also now have to pay $10 per guest each visit through Venmo and it's just very inconvenient and seems like all the new managers/owners care about is making money. Before the new owners/managers, I could bring a guest and it was a part of my contract. Other locations I have visited in this state and other states have never not provided water and have never made me pay to bring a guest as it's been included in my contract. These may seem like small changes, but they have made me decide not to come here anymore.

Since the change in ownership/management, they stopped having bottles with disinfectant and instead now have 2 receptacles with wipes. Since they are unstaffed for the entire weekend, at least one is empty and the other one has wipes that are dried out. I won't go to a dirty gym with bad sanitary practices. I cancelled my membership as soon as I found out the change was permanent.

I really like this more intimate, smaller gym location. We were allowed to have a free week trial to see if it was a good fit, which I really appreciated. This never would have happened at another big box chain gym. It hasn’t been busy since I’ve joined, so I never have to wait for machines. That’s a major plus. Much superior to the normal large chain gyms we all know about. Also, affordable membership for 2 people!

Best gym staff I've ever experienced, very transparent about memberships and policies, very friendly and respectful. Doesn't get too crowded, a good array of machines that are usually open, people are respectful and keep to themselves.

Came as a guest for a week while in town with family. This is a great gym. Quiet, well lit, plenty of equipment, and no one filming themselves working out. I got what I needed without any productions. Staff was friendly, visible, but not in your way. I would join if at lived in this neighborhood.

Great gym. The machines and benches are laid out across the floor in a very logical way. There’s no shortage of equipment, so you never have to wait for a bench, leg press, or smith. The staff is friendly and helpful.

The gym itself is very nice. It's clean, the equipment is like new and it's never too crowded like most gyms. My only issue was with Scarlet. She's rude and condescending and not a very bright business woman, to be in her position. I went to check it out with a friend. She talked to both of us and gave us a tour. After we sat at the front tables and Scarlett proceeded to offer a discount code to my friend, for signing up. After a few weeks of being a "guest" I went to Scarlett said I'd like to join and she said great and explained how to sign up online. I asked about the discount code my friend got and she said it's only for certain people. Sounding discriminatory, I said what certain people? She said just certain people. No clear explanation. I said, you are refusing to give me the code, which in turn will stop me from purchasing a membership for $24.99 a month? This means I will just come every single time with my friend as her guest. So you'd rather lose a paying member all for a discount on the sign-up fee? She said she didn't understand. I said give me the discount and I'll sign up, which I will pay $24.99 a month around $300 a year. Don't give me the discount and you'll get zero dollars from me, losing revenue. She said what? Another employee had to explain it to her, as well as my friend, then she got irritated and gave me the code. This isn't manager mentality, someone with any business experience and lacks customer service. A company is only as good as it's employees.

Clean, organized, well-managed PF location! — Newbies, Athletes, Men, Women, Loners, Gym-Rats, Young and “Mature”. All are welcome! 👍👍🏽👍🏿 This upscale gym has everything you need to find the new you within, at a very low cost compared to other national brand options. As low as $10/mo. And for not much more per month, The BlackCard allows you to bring a buddy, anytime, and at any location! 🇺🇸 My recent visit to my brother’s casita grande in Mesa saw me visiting also this PF locale. Definitely will be back again! 🏋🏻‍♂️ 🥋 🤜 😅 💛

The staff here are so nice aswell as the gym its clean and simple best planet fitness i ever been to.

So, this PF has been my all-time favorite gym. They have great, updated equipment and it's kept clean. They have many Equipment Spray & Paper towel stands everywhere which is super important to me since I always thoroughly pre-wipe down any equipment I use. The women's locker room is very large and offers privacy by separating the locker spaces, showers changing booths and toilet/sink areas. The stand-up tanning booths and rooms are always clean and maintained, the water massage tables and chairs are also kept well. ** So, even though the rooftop AC system is down until the end of July when parts come in, the management has gone out of their way to make sure the club stays cool! It was a work in progress to get that all worked out with the portable units, but I just walked in and it's COOL UP IN HERE! ** I was also getting frustrated about the AC issue, even to the point where I checked out a couple other gyms (EOS/Esports/La fitness), but none of those offered me the level of equipment, staff friendliness and comfort level at the way THIS gym is setup. I WILL STAY HERE, THANK YOU! The management here is responsive to customers and they really are trying hard to make sure the members are taken care of. Thank you to all my PF staff and manager, I see you! 👍💪🥰

This review will remain 1 star until the concerns are addressed. Over half The lights in the women’s locker room turn off at 1 am, just so happened to be WHILE I was showering. So now I’m in a dark shower, alone, woman in her 20’s, in a mostly empty gym, with mostly men in it. This did not bring about a feeling of safety or security. Not only were the lights in the showers off, but the lights over the toilets and the lights in the changing stall all off. Maybe 6/20 locker room lights remained on. This is unacceptable, and employees were not able to turn them back on for me. I have NEVER. In the over 50 planet fitnesses I have visited across the states, and the multiple dozens of times I’ve showered late night into the early morning, I have NEVER had the light turned off on me. THIS IS NOT OKAY! You say open 24 hours the lights need to be on 24 hours!!! Also, the hot water stopped working. Luke warm is GREAT in a dark shower exhausted at 1 am!!!!! Unbelievable

Nice place pretty clean always sometimes broken equipment however low key nice place to stay for at great value includes guest privs and tan massage red light therapy really excellent value

I wish they stuck to their own rules. There's constantly teen-agers in sandals, jeans, pajama pants; leaving their bags in the middle of the floor. Someone brought their Doberman in today, and it definitely was not a service dog. Plus so many people not wiping machines. Also, if you come after 7 pm, be prepared to hunt down paper towels and cleaning spray after each machine. Half will be empty while the employees hang out with their friends at the front desk.

Clean facility and well maintained equipment. Very laid back atmosphere.

Love this place! It’s not crowded and the staff are great and friendly. Equipment is very easy to use.

I attended Pumped Up Pilates (jump board) with Vanessa, and while she’s a knowledgeable and engaging instructor, the class leaned more toward weightlifting than cardio, which wasn’t quite what I expected. It felt more like a HIIT class, with the reformer being used more like a cable machine—a shift from the traditional Pilates focus on lengthening and strengthening that I personally prefer. I also noticed one participant wearing outside shoes on the equipment, which felt a bit unsanitary, especially since we often touch those surfaces with our hands and other parts of our bodies. I was surprised this wasn’t addressed, as grippy socks are typically standard in Pilates studios. If you’re looking for a more traditional jump board class, you might want to explore other options. That said, this class could work well for those who enjoy a hybrid Pilates/fitness style. I liked the studio overall, and since they’re on ClassPass, I plan to try other classes there—but for jump board, I think I’ll look elsewhere. TL;DR: It really comes down to personal preference!

I had a really disappointing experience at this Pilates class. I have taken a lot of Pilates classes, and none of them have been this bad. The instructor was not only rude but also seemed uninterested in creating a welcoming environment. I told her it was my first class, and responded with “okay and? go sit your stuff down.” Didn’t give me any instruction on what to do. Instead of offering guidance or support, she was dismissive and condescending. The class felt uncomfortable from the start, and I ended up leaving early because of how unprofessional the atmosphere was. I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a positive fitness experience.

It’s disgraceful that a supposedly reputable studio employs someone who so brazenly belittles the very women she’s supposed to support. The hostile, dismissive attitude toward potential clients and community members with differing opinions is shockingly unprofessional. If this is truly representative of the studio’s values, it’s a blatant indicator of just how little they actually care about their clients—or women, for that matter.

I personally don’t appreciate instructors blasting their political opinion about “how humiliating it is for women to think they lost their rights” on their TikTok platform while employed as an instructor at this studio. It’s one thing to have your political beliefs, but don’t shame women who think differently than you and expect them to trust you during a workout.

The women at this studio, both staff and clients, are so friendly and welcoming. Always a great workout too.

I have been coming to this mountainside for a while and it has one of the cleanest locker rooms and floors I have ever been to. All front desk staff are so friendly and welcoming. Child care workers do their best to make sure you have your time to workout and not have to worry about your children! Overall just a good gym!

I’ve been a member of Mountainside for a few months now, and I’m honestly so impressed by how welcoming and friendly everyone is here! From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease. The staff are incredibly kind and approachable, always greeting you with a smile and making sure you feel comfortable, whether it’s your first time or you've been coming for years. The gym itself is also clean, which is a huge plus. The floors, the equipment, and the locker rooms are well-kept. You can really tell the management takes pride in maintaining a clean environment. If you're looking for a gym that's both welcoming and clean, I highly recommend Mountainside. It’s the perfect place to stay motivated and get in a great workout, all while feeling like you're part of a friendly community.

I'm not one to write reviews but I must give credit where credit is due. I have been a member for a few months now and you can now consider me a member for life! The gym is spacious so even during typical gym busy times you have options to still get a pump on. The team at this location is hands down the best!! The opening crew is always has a smile on their face ... even at 4:30am. I get ready for work at the gym so it is so convenient to have towel service included in the membership; not to mention the cleanliness of the gym and lockers rooms is top notch. Tell the manager to keep up the good work!!!

Based on the reviews I was super excited to trial out this MS. I’ve been in search of a gym that not only offers great amenities but also great customer service. I went on Sunday 2/2 around 1pm. As my first day on the free pass trial, I was unaware I needed a lock for lockers as other gyms I’ve used had automatic locks. I asked if they had a temporary lock for me to use as a new guest and they said no. I even asked if I could pay to use an executive locker as a one time being a potential new member. She also said they couldn’t allow that. There was also no manager on site. She told me to come back tomorrow as if not considering I made time out of my extremely busy week to use my trial. Overall the amenities were great to use, but the overall customer service and amount of ‘no’s’ I heard as a first time guest to help me was disheartening.

Our family loves this gym. The cleanliness is far and above other gyms I’ve been a member of. I thought the gym was brand new new!!! The staff is amazing. Everyday we are greeted with multiple smiles and welcomes. I recommend this club to anyone. BMH Club member

My son loves Dingers! Amazing coaches and very friendly staff. Prices are fair and the training on point. My son is starting 12u and definitely got some good pointers and learned some new techniques. Highly recommended!

This place continues to impress me! Brandon and all of his staff really make us feel welcome every time we come! Again so grateful to have this place so close to home!

AZ DINGERS is hands down the very best indoor baseball training facility! All of the equipment is impeccably maintained to work perfectly. The facility has all of the latest state of the art technology from Hittrax to online reservations. “High and Tight” is how the entire facility would be described.

Dingers has several batting cages that can be configured for all ages. I watch from the waiting room. (There is a big screen that can show different cages.) There are also food machines available if you get hungry or thirsty. The people in attendance are friendly and helpful. There are also classes for baseball and softball skills.

Facility is great! Well run, clean, organized and on time for everyone. We’ve been for just cage time for private lessons and camps. We love the instructors and staff couldn’t find a better place!

Best gym in the area, I was looking for a new CF home 2 years ago and San Tan CrossFit was the perfect fit. The owners are absolutely awesome, the programming is effective and always exciting focus areas to work on. I highly recommend San Tan to anyone looking for a great CF gym.

I have been working out at CrossFit SanTan since Oct 2020. I enjoy the friendly and welcoming community at this gym. Coaches here really cater to individuals needs whether they are beginners or more experienced athletes. I highly recommend CrossFit SanTan over the other gyms in the area.

Too bad I can’t give CrossFit San Tan 10 stars ***!! Coming from the East Coast, we were hoping we would find a CF box that was as good as where we were. CFST exceeded our expectations! It’s all about the owners and coaches. Attention to detail is paramount. Helping you achieve your goals is as exciting for them as it is for you. Guiding you every step of the way to prevent injuries and make every workout fun is the one of their best qualities. Adjustments for Masters level athletes are always offered. I highly recommend this box to anyone and everyone!

CFST is a great CrossFit gym for all skill levels. Gym is very clean, everyone is welcoming, and the coaches are very knowledgeable. It’s also family gym where they provide childcare and I am comfortable leaving my kids and they love going with me.

SanTan has been home since we moved to AZ. The coaches are friendly and knowledgeable, the community is inviting, and the gym is always clean and taken care of. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a new home gym!

I can’t believe how much I love this gym!! The coaches are are so encouraging and the people you meet are the best. I circled this gym for months before I had the courage to walk in. I would look through the window and think “I can’t do that”! Well its been 5 years now and I CAN do it and I will never quit. Everyone is so motivating and there is absolutely no judgment. Everyone needs to sign up for their physical and mental health . You won’t be sorry you did!

I LOVE THIS GYM!!!! I love the challenge of each workout. I love how each day is so different you don’t get bored. I love that you get a challenging workout with a warm up and cool down in 40 minutes. And the best part is the community. I’ve made some really great friendships through FitBody. It’s a great gym!!!!

I can’t really put into worlds how this gym has changed my life. I came to FBBC east Mesa in December of 2023 coming off of a 3 year uphill battle with major injuries. Having spine surgery two years in a row almost to the day I was overweight, depressed and extremely weak. From my very first workout they heard me. They helped me modify almost every workout in order build back strength and skeletal muscle without re-injuring my back. Coach Angie is a true gift and very much cares about every member wholeheartedly. I thank her for the hard work and dedication to helping me get back to ME and able to workout consistently and safely. The weight slowly came off in the healthiest way possible and I completely rebuilt my muscle mass, got my diet in check and felt like I could play with my kids again. That in itself is by far the most rewarding of goals. Now that I have been a member for 10 months I am down over 20lbs and as fit as I’ve ever been. This community and the coaches are people who I want to show up for because they make me feel worthy. Huge shoutout to coach Tyler for helping push my husband (who is now a member as well) and I to press our limits and push past our excuses and setbacks to reach new goals and continue to become stronger and healthier as a family! I could go on and on, but if you are curious come try, if you know it’s time then go in and just START. You will not regret it. We are a family and YOU matter!

I have been a member here for several years and I absolutely love this gym. The atmosphere is incredibly positive, the people are always so welcoming and helpful, it truly is a fit family! When I started I was a mama of 3 young kiddos and was a little intimidated coming into a place like this, but I quickly realized that this was a place of no judgment and I could get my workout done in less than an hour and see results with consistency. As a busy mama, time is precious and this program fit perfectly into my schedule, and I also have made lots of amazing friendships along the way. If you are on the fence about coming in, just give it a try you won't regret it!

We LOVE FBBC East Mesa. The coaches are great and really motivate us to take it one step further than we did the previous day. And if I need an extra day to take that step, they are non-judgmental and behind us every step of the way. The sessions are challenging, get your heart pumping and you will never be bored. Skip the boring standard gym and try something that will really get your heart pumping in a warm, friendly environment with a great cheering squad from the coaches and other patrons. You definitely won't find someone sitting on a machine scrolling through their phone! East Mesa rocks!!!!

PJ is 🔥!! He is an amazing human, and is encouraging to his members. If you want to get strong, learn proper form and Excel in your sport, this is the place to go.
