Best Gyms with Functional Training Equipment near Tucson, Arizona

I have been coming to the Lohse Y for lap swimming since 1995. I have never in all of these years experienced what is happening now with the pool. It is a fabulous pool and many people want to use it. All the Y's across the city have adopted a new policy of closing all the pools at 11am M-F with no hours for the swimmers who used to come on their lunch hour between 11am and 1pm. This results in forcing a large amount of daily swimmers to cram their usual 45 min to one hour workout swims into the five hours in the morning when the pool is open. In addition to the limited hours five months out of the year, the new policy is have 4 people circle swimming in each lane. They also have water aerobics classes five days a week for one hour of the five they are open, so during that time there are only four lanes available for lap swimming. This is not enjoyable. I cannot recommend joining this y for the purpose of using the pool. My husband and I, who are both long-time lap swimmers at Lohse Y, are looking into swimming at other facilities We may possibly quit going to this Y entirely because the cost of the monthly parking may be too much when we can't use the pool. This decision is with a heavy heart after 30 years loving this Y. They recently remodeled the pool and in our opinion it has been one of the best lap swimming pools in Tucson. It is truly a shame that the citywide pool director has chosen to turn it into a treadmill of a water workout room.

I'm a Y member visiting from Virginia. My family & I do zumba back home and wanted to keep our fitness activity going here. We attended Diana's zumba class. She was terrific! She was high energy and the routines were fairly easy to follow and fun to do. We very much enjoyed her class, and will try to attend another of her classes before we leave.

I don't go to the Y, but my parents faithfully go to the one in Virginia for Zumba. They are visiting here in town, and we decided to try a Wednesday Zumba night. The instructor, Deanna, is new. Really? Well, she's very good. I picked up really fast from how she led the dance class. Yes, it was that impactful for me to write this review, considering how happy my parents, really my Mom, were. 1st timers, too!

My boys wanted to join the Y for the basketball court and the staff is super warm to them even when I'm not around. Belina signed us up and has been super gracious to us ever since. She treats you like family and makes sure you are taken care of. The staff culture is by design and not by default, great job management!

The Lohse Family YMCA is hands down the best in the city. The staff there is absolutely incredible - they go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The new equipment - it's top-notch. You won't find a friendlier bunch of people anywhere else. l've been a member for 19 years and would never even consider going anywhere else. Seriously, I love this place. Trust me, you need to check it out. R.Garcia

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!
