Best Gyms with Functional Training Equipment near Phoenix, Arizona

Liberty is truly my “third space”. The best coaches, super nice equipment for both powerlifting and strongman (and many other forms of functional training), and the most amazing and supportive community. Since joining, I have competed in powerlifting and strongman working with Justin and I can’t believe how much progress and personal fulfillment I’ve experienced in only a year! Highly recommend!

Every time I travel to Phoenix in business, Liberty is my most important stop. They make short term drop ins very easy and communicate well. Everything you need for strength and conditioning without any filler equipment crowding the gym. Good parking, easy to find. Good attitudes. Would be a full time member if I lived here.

I came to this gym to compete jn a strongman show. The facility was fantastic and had anything you could need to train. Zac was very welcoming and hosted an amazing show. I've competed for several years now and I can say this is one of the top shows and facilities where i have competed!

What a fantastic gym! I was in the city for a vacation and after a bunch of research did a few drop in sessions at Liberty. I'm happy I chose it, there's a fantastic equipment selection, and the culture seems great. If I lived in the Phoenix area I would be making this my home gym.

Amazing gym experience with great people, it is a little bit pricey. But I think it's worth it as it's not like a commercial gym that comes with all the headaches. Great community with friendly people you can ask questions to. There's a wide selection of plates and equipment to use from. That are well maintained and nothing broken. The trainers are nice and well informed in their respective fields. Overall just a very good gym to check out if you're looking for a new gym to go to.

I travel for work so this review is about the gym itself. Not about any kind of membership or contracts or stuff like that. Let me now say that, for an Anytime Fitness, this place is Friggen Yuge ! It has two levels, cardio upstairs. All else downstairs. Good amount of machines in the heavy area for squat, bench and such. 2 locations for dumbbells. One by free weights, other by functional training/floor area. The floor area is large, plenty of room for a dozen people to stretch or so their functional training. Also, there are 6 individual bathrooms. I believe each has a shower. If this is not enough for you, perhaps try a different time to go to the gym. If that doesn't work because you can never ever compromise on anything in your life, then try globo gym, that's where the egocentrics go.

I highly don't reccomend signing up for a membership here. On top of lacking some basic gym amenities and severely needing more bathrooms in the building, their cancellation policy is basically a trap. If you want to cancel and you signed up for an annual membership (which everyone does) you have to pay off the "amount you owe" for the year. For me, they asked that I pay $643??!! I've never experienced this before and I've had many gym memberships. They also act like this is out of their hands but this gym is independently owned so this is a conscious decision of operation. I'd reccomend LA fitness down the road, they don't run business like this.

I’ve a 54-year old man who’s trying to age well and am aware of the importance of diet and resistance training. I’ve always been active and engaged in weight training. However in my 50’s I’ve struggled being consistent. I hired Ivan Lopez at Anytime Fitness and have been a client for over a year. The results are amazing as I’m adding muscle. I don’t get dude much anymore despite increasing resistance. Diet is key as is sleep!! Highly recommend Anytime Fitness and Personal Trainer Ivan Lopez.

I've seen a bunch of anytime fitness locations across North America. The best one atmosphere wise so far has been Cochrane Alberta Canada as its a second floor gym with 180 degree glass overlooking the Rocky mountains. But... for the desert... THIS particular Anytime fitness is high level. First, they have parking shades for your car in a bunch of the spots. I know this isn't uncommon in Phoenix but still. Entry way outside well lit and not sketchy. Secondly, the Gym layout makes sense. If you work out a lot you'll understand what I mean. The gym is clean and the equipment is in good condition and they have all the basics anyone needs to get jacked. Decent location for water fountain too, being a central location, as are the washrooms. My interaction with Staff has also been very good. There's zero reason not to join this location. Anytime fitness on average is a no brainer for someone like me who travels and works out more than 3 times a week... and this location in particular scores very high.

I contacted this gym because online it says they have a military discount. The person who responded lied to me about offering a military discount and offered me the payment plan shown online as the military discount. Pretty lame that they have to lie about a couple dollars.

I visited this gym plenty times. There is this young man, I think he said Kasim? I am in from 6pm til someday 9pm, I'll go out to my sprinter and return at 1am - 3am and each time, he'll clean the shower for someone if they ask, the stalls if they ask, the sink area.. That's what I appreciate. I included a few photos That employee there now really knows what he is doing with the cleaning. I operate cleaning businesses that sends porters out to clean company hotels and he cleans better than my tenured employees in the mens. Great work!

Sunday evening around 5:30pm I first entered the club to use the restroom and planned to return to my car to gather my gym outfit. Melinda, at the front desk, asked if I was planning to work out. I thought that was an odd question. I said yes and she told me slides (the shoes I walked in with) are not allowed on the equipment. I told her my shoes were in my car and I was just running in to use the restroom. She then threatened to have me leave if she caught me on the equipment with my slides - I thought that was a non-customer friendly exchange. When I walked into the restroom area, I found the entire locker room a mess. There was trash overflowing and the floors were dirty. I decided not to use the gym today due partly to the odd communication but especially the filthiness.

Went here for a couple months then one day in Dec ‘24 the whole gym had this very overwhelming smell of piss, since then I’ve been going to another location. Every now and then due to this being one of the few locations open 24hrs I’ve had to come here, and now it smells like stale piss. Feb ‘25 will be month three of it smelling that way. You never get used to it the whole time you’re working out. Do not recommend unless you like throwing up in your mouth and/or smelling piss.

Desk personnel are very nice. Place is nice and clean with plenty of equipment. Men's locker room some what small. That is an issue due to several lockers seem to have permanent occupants.

I have to come here cause it’s the closest location to the airport where I work. There is always a different person working the front desk, some more present or polite than others. Lots of times I don’t feel like I get the customer service that I expect when I come here. Also the floor in the showers is always dirty. I saw a girl cleaning the other day dragging her feet. Even thought they have supplies they don’t do a job at cleaning.

Remedy is the best pilates studio ever!!! All three studios are super clean and welcoming. Every instructor is very well educated and helpful on and off the reformer. 10/10 recommend to all people of all ages!

I've taken a few classes here and have gotten a workout each time. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Dani is especially wonderful and is my favorite instructor.

Love this spot! It's in a great, beautiful light-filled location with space for equipment and a barre studio located in the back. The instructors are top notch, and they're always rotating so you can get some variety in terms of instruction. They have morning, afternoon and evening classes to fit a variety of schedules. I personally love the equipment/reformer classes here! And I've been to many different studios all over the Valley!

Had a one on one private pilates session with Kelly, the owner. Wow! I have done some pilates in the past but this was much better. Speaking as a chiropractor I can say that Kelly really knows anatomy and biomechanics well. I have some old hip issues that she was able to work around, and help me develop better range of motion with, something no one has ever been able to do. The space is really special too. Such a nice feel to the place you really feel at home. I love this place, and Kelly is fantastic. Highly recommended!

Instructor was great, location has easy parking, the studio is very clean.

My experience at the Dunlap Anytime has been great! I transferred from a location in California a few months ago. All locations always have the necessary equipment, privacy and helpful personnel! Trista at this location was awesome with assisting me with anything I needed :) My only advice would be to stay educated on different locations and their individual rates if you are looking to transfer, I had not realized it would be a different price.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The gym is never crowded, so once I create a new routine, I can count on my stations to be available for my next set. Really important for me. The bathrooms are nice, clean, and huge, which is important to me because I shower there frequently. The extra large size means that they even accommodate our brothers and sisters in wheelchairs. It’s a good fit, for me.

Bad experience with the billing. Last November 2022, I created an account and had a firm agreement with the employee that the membership would last one year. I explicitly asked multiple times if there would be additional billing after one year. The answer was no. He stated all necessary forms were completed to ensure I would not be billed after the 1 year was up. I explained that this was important because I was likely moving outside the area and I did not want to deal with additional billing. Again we had multiple verbal agreements that everything was in place to not be billed after the first year. Now it comes November 2023 and of course I am getting billed. I called the gym directly a few minutes ago. Apparently, they are missing the "Un-auto enroll form" or something along those lines. I am being told it is my responsibility to have completed this form although I was told i completed all necessary forms one year prior to ensure no auto enroll. Although it is just 40 bucks a month, the whole situation is incredibly disrespectful and demonstrates immoral business practices.

Great location. Quiet and not too crowded. Love the fact that I don't have to hunt staff down when I have questions or concerns. Great customer service and they don't talk in circles. As of 10/23/23, This review has now been edited to three stars for unprofessional customer service. I understand we all go through things and get frustrated, but being a smart aleck is a no from me. They're great people as long as you never have to speak them at all, which is a horrible thing to say but it's the truth. Watch this, they'll reply to my update with some nonsense. It's fine though, I'll stop being professional too. Since they don't like professional and courteous communication apparently. 😊

Anytime Fitness North Phoenix is perfect for all my needs. It's not huge and it's never overcrowded, it's the perfect size. It's clean and well taken care of. I absolutely love that I can go in the middle of the night if I choose to.

This PF is one of the best in the state of Arizona. The facility was quaint,organized, and the machines were all in great working order. The staff at this location are focused and hard working. Thank you C for being a great employee. I appreciate you

I have had a great experience here. The staff is really kind and helpful. The gym has all your basics and it's never too crowded. I highly recommend talking with their personal trainer Jordan. He has a great approach to fitness. It’s criminal how affordable the training is. The personal training here is way cheaper than what I've found anywhere else and it's better. I've trained with a lot of different people. Jordan has been the best by far. He uses a lot of different tactics that push you past your mental limitations and activate the muscle. It would be worth paying extra but it's included in the membership. I'm so happy I found this place!

I was really against retaining my membership at planet fitness. I felt like they were stealing my money. It is ridiculous to charge a yearly fee and have your patrons pay monthly. I will retain it because of a young lady named Nala. She is the most patient, kind, understanding employee. She deserves a raise. I will always look for her when I go. She has no issue helping out or explaining anything.

This place is absolutely awesome; super clean, great showers, never too busy, lots of helpful videos, and even a trainer provided to help me perfect my workouts, etc. I can bring a friend to workout also as a guest anytime! I absolutely love this gym.

Nice Gym, all the things that you find in a planet fitness, well kept, full of people, nice atmosphere, the staff is welcoming and supportive, but a little small, the only downside. That sometimes tends to be overcrowded.

A perfect gym to get back into a routine after being out of it for a number of years and after having knee replacement. It is a very comfortable place to be. And when you walk in the staff is always smiling and makes you feel super welcome.

I have been a member here since about mid August and so far I have no complaints. The staff are friendly and welcoming when walking in. They actively clean the facilities and restock the cleaning paper and sprays when needed. It can get a little busy after 5 pm on weekdays but early to mid afternoons are my preferred times and it's not usually busy.

I have been a loyal black card member for 6 months now and the long term full time staff have always been the best, amazing attitude and tend to the gym and keep it 1,000x wayyyy cleaner than the 75th Ave location. There is a new manager Alan and now we can't use the massage chairs for more than 10 minutes? Why? Do they pay you more Alan for denying an extra 5 minutes? This gym is clean but the machines and equipment need upgrades and TLC!

This is a great planet fitness. It has all the equipment you need for a good workout. And it’s not very busy during the morning and lunch hour. It gets a little busy after 5 o’clock, but a lot of gyms are like that. I like to go on my lunch break. Definitely check it out.

Great selection of equipment. Lots of parking. Always clean and staff are friendly. Can get busy at times, but this is just a downside of being a good, clean, functional gym.

I have been training at VASA for the past year and a half and I couldn’t be more impressed. The gym itself is always clean, well-equipped, and has a great atmosphere. I have had 2 great personal trainers. From the very first session, they took the time to understand my fitness goals, tailor workouts to my needs, and push me to achieve more than I thought was possible. I’ve seen huge improvements in both strength and confidence. I love the Studio Red classes. Rebekah is awesome. She is always positive, motivating and genuinely interested in my progress. I highly recommend both the gym and the Studio Red classes to anyone looking for a supportive and challenging fitness experience!

I love this gym. Great staff, good equipment well maintained. Open atmosphere. All kinds of people working in their fitness. Love it.

Hello, I am thoroughly impressed with the childcare that the young ladies provide at the East Thunderbird VASA location. Ms. Abby and her team do an amazing job with all the children. My son is currently four months old. The idea of leaving him in any one else’s hands is not happening. I can enjoy a workout relieved knowing that they have his best interests in mind. Way to go Ladies!!! Love you and how you are with my baby 🩷

Abby and her team run one of the best gym childcares I’ve ever seen! They create a loving and safe environment for the kids. So we are able to workout and know they are being cared for!

I’ve tried three other gyms in the North Phoenix area, and Vasa has me hooked for life. Not only is the facility very clean and well equipped, but the staff and especially the trainers are more helpful and friendly than any I’ve encountered at any gym yet. Coaches Grace, Melanie and Tony deserve special recognition for always going above and beyond to deliver an outstanding experience.

This Planet Fitness is a great Place to Work Out. I absolutely love going to Planet Fitness in North Cave Creek! The staff there is incredibly friendly and helpful. They always greet me with a smile and make me feel welcome. The gym is clean and well-maintained, and the equipment is in great condition. I always have a positive experience when I work out there, and thank you for always being so kind.

I haven’t been to the gym since May 23, 2024. I read somewhere that the gym had undergone some changes and I was excited to see them. Moving the stretching area to the circuit area was a thought of mine for ages! There just wasn’t enough room in the other area. The new cardio equipment is cool. I still have to walk around and understand how/where the other equipment moved to on the floor, but I’ll get to that. I’m just pleased with the initial re-impression that I got today!

Very clean facility, sanitized machines and equipment. Friendly and helpful staff. Best location I’ve been too!

Had the pleasure to meet a great team here! I had the opportunity to meet Maggie, Cassandra, Cassidy, Tam and Mikayla. All of them are fantastic and welcomed me very well! So excited to be part of a great movement! Also Wanted to say this is a great gym! A little smaller than most and it's very cleaned and organized! Walk in showers and if I counted correctly, 18 tvs. Overall a fantastic gym! Last but not least, Cassandra and Nando; keep it up! You guys have a great team!! Last but not least, Cassidy is the personal trainer at this location and she is so inspiring! Highly recommend her to get back into shape! She will get you there! Keep it up Cassidy!

We’ve had a great experience so far! So easy to sign up, very friendly and helpful staff every day we’ve been there. Everything is clean and well taken care of!

I have been to many Anytime Fitness locations, locally and around the country. This is by far the best Anytime Fitness I've been in. Staff personnel are respectful, the gym is clean. But best of all, is the equipment and functional training space it has. Highly recommend.

Everytime I've called some middle schooler or high-school individual answers the phone never taking the conversation seriously and very unprofessional. Giggling or laughing and trying to talk to someone else while again on the phone with me a paying member. I don't think I have ever been disappointed with an establishment as far as I have with customer service. They don't verify your information when calling twice I've gotten other individuals accounts which is so concerning. Anytime you can definitely contact me. Also I cancelled my membership.

Loving this gym the place is so clean! I love training with Matt because he explains everything and pushes me to my limits. What I like even more about this gym is that that I can get on any machine at any time without the long wait and craziness. Plus it's open 24 hours so I have no excuse not to go. :)

Great Anytime Fitness club. Very clean, lots of space, ample equipment. The owners and members obviously do an amazing job taking care of this club. It is a stellar example of the Anytime Fitness brand. Great job.

This is probably the best Anytime I’ve been in. It’s got all the best equipment and tons of space.

The showers looked like they hadn't been cleaned properly for at least a month. The handheld shower lines and floor tiles were encrusted with shower residue. I have been to several ATs over the last month and it seems that the franchise has become lax on its cleanliness standards as many of the showers were in a similar state.

Giving 5 stars for the major points of; low # of members when I am there so I don't have to wait for equipment and the condition of the machines is quite good. Most members re-rack their weights which is much better than the experience that I've had at other companies. Cons; this place is TIRED. Several cracked mirrors and the paint job is dull and damaged....not very energizing to stare at charcoal grey walls and most of the other colors are in desperate need of a refresh. I've been a member of luxurious gyms in the past and though this brand doesn't compare, it seems to get the job done. Overall a very good place to get your sweat on.....just needs some updating.

Definitely an embarrassing experience I saw a Facebook post that said free 6 weeks and I read the whole post now when I showed up it was basically like an interview to see if I qualified for the program. They toured me, asked me questions and right at the end. They showed me a paper that says it’s $300. I understand it’s two payments but it doesn’t matter that is false advertisement and I’m definitely disappointed in the company I told him I’m a single mom with three kids, saw an opportunity and was excited! At least put in the fine print if you don’t lose the weight, you don’t get your money back so basically you pay $300. It’s actually over $300 and once the six weeks are up if you lose 20 pounds you get your money back they need to put in the advertisement because once again it’s false advertising. Also, I wanna know what company interviews people to see if they qualify when it’s really just about making money for them. We all qualify at that point if we’re paying you, we qualify.

Great gym, but there has been a reoccurring issue lately with the scanner not working on the door. I lift early in the morning before work so it’s an inconvenience arriving during non-staffed hours to realize I’ve wasted my time before work. Get this fixed, please

Nathan and his staff care about their members. They worked hard to hire a new coach after the one they had was badly hurt in a motorcycle accident. I now work with Vini and he is awesome. The gym is always clean and has a very good selection of machines and equipment to achieve my workout goals. I highly recommend this gym.

I went to this Planet Fitness location while I was in Phoenix for work for a couple weeks. I really enjoyed it! Plenty of space, machines, and free weights. The overnight staff was great. If I'm back in this area again this will be the gym I go to.

To the Owner who replied: How about YOU get in touch with the Manager. By the way nothing has Changed see pictures below of this morning 7am Saturday July 13th, 2024 JUNE 24TH, 2024: I live in Glendale and this Phoenix location is my Home Gym. I travel to Los Angeles 2-3 times per month. As a result I visit many Planet Fitness locations in between Phienix and Los Angeles. It's sad to report that this Gym is by far the least kept up. The staff are always just loitering talking amongst themselves. The men's restrooms and showers are generally dirty and smelly. The equipment is not cared for and the water station has been inoperable for the last 5 days but it's regularly either turned off on purpose or needs replacing. I've been on the verge of calling the Health Department and each day I visit I'm much closer! It's truelly disappointing.

I will take pics next time I visit PF. I had one of the best visits to PF yesterday. I go there to do my PT exercises. I noticed signage of some of their black card amenities and asked about them. There is one that I think is called the Healing pod. You lay down on it and there's a screen above and another screen with optional prompts for: visual background, meditations, breathwork, scents and heat. I was SO relaxed after 15 minutes. As well, I tried the new machine called, Cryo (something). It offers heat and or cold, along with pressure massage for the legs. Wonderful! Planet Fitness has different sections of workout equipment and plenty of space. The locker room and shower is decent too.

Well this place is my gym that I goto, when my body tells me to get up, and start moving. I recently had surgery on the bottom of my R-Foot. So it’s been a while since I was even able to walk without some assistance. So with age being a factor to I am differently on my mission. I really enjoy my workouts on my time, and most importantly when I feel like it. Open 24 hours 7 days a week So if you are thinking about joining a gym, I think you would really enjoy going Planet Fitness’s. They works with your health insurance, you may not have to pay a dime. Just call your health insurance company,ask them if you have coverage for Wellness Care. You need to Check with your Doctor first, and then it’s up to You!!!!! Photos provided by me!!!☺️

Nice place to work out at. It's clean and I feel comfortable here. I didn't see a sauna or steam room though. If there is I didn't see it. They have the hydromassage and other things though for blackcard users
