  • I just recently moved to the Phoenix area and my girlfriend and I wanted to check out a new gym. For some context, we do mostly powerlifting, so this review is written with that in mind. I called beforehand and the associate assured me that this was a powerlifting gym but if you're serious about strength training this gym might not be for you. Pros -Cheap: It's only $30ish a month and the first visit was free -Lots of machines and heavy DBs up to 160s -Turf area with sleds/tires/KBs -Deadlift platforms Cons -Bar quality: When I called the guy assured me that there were plenty of power bars. When I got there all the bars on the benches were cheap bars with hardly any knurling. There may have been some Texas power bars hiding somewhere but it was so crowded I couldn't imagine trying to look for one. -Bench quality: These were cheap, cushion-y benches and I couldn't get a tight set-up at all. No powerlifting quality forza benches here. In conclusion, this is basically a 24 hour fitness with a couple extra goodies. If I were looking for just a casual gym this would go to 3 stars and if the people weren't as rude it would go to 4 stars. It's a shame that they have some nice equipment but cheaped out on bars/benches which are some of the more important pieces of equipment. I wouldn't have been so annoyed if I hadn't called beforehand but maybe there was just a difference in standards between this gym and an actual lifting gym. If you are a casual lifter or value a lower price point than give it a go, just be sure to have headphones in and a death stare during peak times. If you're looking for better quality, you might want to look elsewhere. -No bags on the gym floor so I constantly had to go back to my bag in the cubbies which was a minor annoyance -Super crowded: We had to wait 30 minutes for one of the 3 benches and we were constantly being eyed by others waiting for a bench. They could spring for some more (and better) benches with it being so crowded during peak times. I also had to wait an additional 30 minutes to get a bar for strict pressing -Rude people: It seemed 90% of people there thought they were the greatest people in the world. No respect for personal space, people grabbing weights from the rack while pressing, tons of glaring/peacock-ing from small dudes, etc. At one point I was going to ask for a spot for my top set at 345 and then realized the guy was about to go so I stopped myself and he just stood there looking at me like I was stupid before asking this other kid to spot me who could barely give me a lift off.
