Over…read morethe years, Andrew has always genuinely cared about my enjoyment of exercise and he always celebrated in my successes. THe is a motivated and positive person and attracts the same around him to work with him. He has great stories and ideas, and I am also inspired by his knowledge of different techniques. I have seen the way people young and old respond to Andrew and his team , which is why I recommend him.

Andrew at Personal Trainers Scottsdale has trained me for the past couple of years. His knowledge,…read morepatience and personal touch put me immediately at ease and gave me confidence that I could not only lose weight but greatly improve my physique and learn a lot along the way. After just a few short months, I was able to meet all of my goals and learn enough to continue dieting and working out with the knowledge I gained. Andrew taught me nutrition, dieting techniques, and fitness methods that were essential to my improved body. The gym had everything that we needed and more. It was spacious and had a combination of sophisticated equipment but also rudimentary tools such as sledge hammers, ropes, kettle bells and other practical methods for getting in shape. The gym was overall a much better way to get personal attention and to meet my goals without distraction from other onlookers or annoying noises. Fantastic gym!! Highly recommended!!

But when head to head with the average Joe, even Mr. No Shirt, Pristine Tan, Joe Six Pack Abs, I can usually sloth-jog to the top of a hill faster. And trust me, male or female, young or old, if you're on one of the valley hiking trails at the same time I am, we are fucking RACING. Even if you don't know it. Even if you laugh at my paunch and short shorts and their biting incongruence with even the most generously interpreted mores of polite society. Even if you don't care. You're on my radar. I am hunting you. If today were a 1000 years ago, you'd be dead because I'd catch you and kill you and probably eat or try to eat your brains. You're from another tribe and you are meat. Note: I will leave you be when you exercise with Matt. My hiking, no surprise, is in no truly logical way related to The Jarvster. However, I believe in metaphysics and quantum mechanics and with what little additional I understand of string theory, I know, capital K Know, that EVERYTHING is related. So here's the illogical flow that quantum leapt me into the (dis)abusive relationship I now find myself enjoying myself in with ("I wish I knew how to quit you!") Matt Jarvis: When one can run up hills, one thinks they're in shape. At least decent cardiovascular shape. And then they are introduced to Matt Jarvis, by a loved one no less, on a shiny Saturday morning, where they have to sit down perfectly still in the middle of class because they're going to puke. Now, don't mistake my almost puking with any sadism on the part of Mr. Jarvis. Instead, assign it to the frailties zigg-zagging through my life force, which my perfect specimen of a lady friend must endure because I convinced her I was worthy of her love. Which is to say I'm not in the shape I thought I was in. And pushed too hard. My bad. He didn't make me feel like an asshole about it. At all. Out of all the trainers and yogis and typologies of exercise endeavors I've tried throughout the years, including all of them, nothing has made me as sore and perplexed as Matt Jarvis' training program. It's fascinating, really. In one now infamous moment during the middle of an exercise resembling Spiderman crawling up the side of a building, I explained to Matt that I understood, based on my body's reaction that the exercise was, in practice, difficult, but I couldn't for the life of me explain why. This is the thing. I feel like nothing is too crazy, individually. But his workout has this additive effect that I've never experienced with anything else. And I think it's probably the most genius exercise regimen I've ever encountered. Eight-fucking-day soreness. Tell your mom about that shit. It's real. It's chariots of fire. It's Rocky. It's amazing. You can stop reading here if you're trying to decide whether to use Matt as I have said my peace but I have a couple more things to say. My girlfriend, who has been training with Matt longer than I have, does more weight than I do... Which is only emasculating insofar as I happen to know she is attracted to muscular arms, which I do not have. Which is where Matt comes in. Except she exercises with him more than I do so her arms keep getting stronger. And the cycle continues. Someday. Pray for me. Also, I want you to think about personal trainers in the following manner: 1) drill sergeant; 2) loving father figure supportive character; 3) tomboy with the exceptional body who is ambiguously lesbian; 4) dude who's on his phone when he should be spotting you; 5) meat head who, while muscular, is not cut in any way; and 6) truly inspirational character who needs his own television show. Matt is 2 and 6. Sometimes, when I'm trudging up the mountain, I think, Matt's going to be so proud when I can get through x,y,z exercise without having to go rest in front of the fan. Or gulp water. Or cry silently. There is no judgment. He's conversational. His workouts are like ASU. You can go there and party your ass off or you can work with Nobel laureates and change the goddamned world. Totally up to you. The opportunity is there to change your life. Do it for me if not for you.

I trained with Matt for a year or so while I lived in Phoenix. I had just gone through a divorce,…read morewas in a sad, depressed state. I had no energy, I topped out at about 335 pounds or so, I pretty much just hated myself and my life. During the time I worked with him I went from this no energy, tired state weighing in at 6'1" 40% + bodyfat to a lean 215 pounds, 11% bodyfat. More importantly, Matt worked with me on a level that proved that he was a good friend and mentor. That he had a vested interest in my results beyond just profit. I can honestly say that he was instrumental in changing my life and I can't possibly express my appreciation in words. The guy gave me his old mountain bike when my car died. Five stars? I'd give him 5000 stars if Yelp let me...no joke.

I've trained at a lot of gyms in Scottsdale, but nothing comes close to this place. Zach and his…read moreteam of fitness experts are the real deal! Zach is easily one of the best trainers I've ever worked with. He actually listens. You tell him your goals (whether you want to lose 30 lbs, pack on muscle, get off blood pressure meds, or just move without pain), and he builds everything around YOU. No cookie-cutter programs here. His knowledge is ridiculous: strength training, Olympic lifting, powerlifting, mobility work, stretching, nutrition, meal planning... the guy is a walking encyclopedia with years of real experience and certifications to back it up. The gym itself is spotless, never overcrowded, and has such a welcoming vibe. Everyone who trains here is friendly and supportive; it feels like a community, not a meat market. If you're tired of big-box gyms where you're just a number, do yourself a favor and train here. Whether you're a total beginner or a seasoned athlete, he'll meet you where you are and get you results safely and sustainably. Hands down the best training experience in Scottsdale. Highly recommend!

If you're looking for a Scottsdale personal trainer who listens, cares, and focuses on building strength the right way, he's the one. Highly recommend!

After almost a year of working out with Jose & Kelly at Fitness Temple, I am in the literal best shape I've ever been in. The inches I've lost, the strength, tone, and most importantly the *confidence* I have gained, have all been life changing. Jose & Kelly's positive, caring energy and enthusiasm make the gym a fun, warm, welcoming atmosphere - everyone is always smiling & laughing - nothing intimidating here. Workouts fly by - I never catch myself looking at the clock! I can truly say that the people at Fitness Temple are my second family! Jose and Kelly's knowledge, passion, and ability to tailor each workout to their client's specific goals/needs are unmatched. I can say without question that I have never been pushed to my limits the way Jose and Kelly have pushed me, and every workout is something new, dynamic, and incredibly rewarding. Every time I think I know what exercise they're going to have me do next, they has a unique twist that makes each move not only more effective, but more challenging and fun. I would recommend anyone at any fitness level... meet & get to know Jose & the beautiful Kelly. You won't ever try another gym again guaranteed!
