At 47 years old, I am in…read morebetter shape and healthier than I was in my 30's, all thanks to the training and community created at TriFit by owners/trainers, Steven and Alex. Not only am I in the best shape of my life, but I have met great people and friends through the gym. We hold each other accountable in fun and great ways, and they make me want to jump out of bed in the morning to make the 6:30 class. If other gyms have failed you, you need to give this one a try. You will not be disappointed.

I have been going to Trifit classes for over a year now and instead of dreading my workouts, I look forward to them. This place really has allowed for me to make such a drastic change to my lifestyle- building my confidence in fitness spaces, helping me find movement that I enjoy and motivation to stay consistent. No question is too stupid to ask and the information and experience I've gained from working out with the coaches at Trifit is priceless. Getting a membership here was the first decision I made when deciding to prioritize my mental and physical health in my 30's. If you're looking to make a major change to your lifestyle but might need community or guidance to support you on your journey- this is the place to be.

Everyone in life has ambitions. I always wanted to be in tip-top shape; i just never thought it was…read morepossible. Until I moved to Phoenix. Until I met Austin and began to work with him. (I'm still a work in progress...) I've never lifted weights before. But, now I can't hammer it home loud enough for women: weight training will change your body - for the better! Austin, my trainer, showed me that... the proof is easy to see when you stand before the mirror and see muscle definition, when you feel better about your body, when you walk with more confidence, and when your clothes start to fit differently. Not that I was ever overweight. I was just carrying around a little extra insulation. And let's face it, you don't really need that in Phoenix. So, I started training with Austin in Feb of 2007 and I haven't stopped. At Peak Performance, he challenges me. He devises the workouts and is happy to explain technique, the body's response, health, nutrition, the in's and out's of setting up different routines, the importance of stability, how to strength train, how to balance cardio with yoga... I can't even begin to explain how much I've learned. Nor did I ever believe I'd love working out with a trainer like I do. He knows his stuff and he seems to truly care about his clients. He likes to understand what motivates you so he can work with your best qualities. Even better, he wants you to learn, so that you can workout on your own and continue to see results. For me, I'm an ex-athlete (will always be an athlete at heart) and he knows this. That's why he likes to mix up the routine and throw in some stability things, to improve my balance and let me escalate to more challenging workouts that top-notch athletes do to stay fit and on top of their game. I love it! The gym itself offers a full range of equipment - plenty to go through an hour's workout and "feel the burn." There's enough that you'll never have to do the same ol' routine twice, if you didn't want to. But, you're not there on your own. That's what's so great. You're there with a trainer who knows the equipment, knows your goals, knows what motivates you, knows how to craft a routine that'll help you make progress (whether it's to burn fat, gain strength, work towards something realistic). I really like this gym. The location is in the LGO area - kind of easy to miss, if you don't know what you're looking for, but there's a small marquee that says "Peak Performance Personal Training" before the entrance on the West side of 40th street JUST PASSED Campbell. Why not give it a try? If you do, make an appointment with Austin. You won't be disappointed.

I had just gotten certified at my old gym in Madison, WI - the Monkey Bar Gymnasium - as a 'Natural Trainer', so I set out looking for a place where I might fit in. After talking to all the major gyms, as well as a handful of smaller ones, the guys at Peak Performance Personal Training were the ONLY guys I felt comfortable working with. They - Tony and Dan - work out of a smallish studio / gym in Arcadia, and to make a long story short - they're awesome. They're real, they're fun, and they'll make sure that you accomplish any goal you set out to. The studio is comfy, the music doesn't get beamed in on a satellite, and there's a park across the street that they like to use for workouts. They'll work around your schedule, and they'll help you look and feel great. I still plan on working with them in the future, but I'm a little too busy to do so at the moment... however I'm not too busy to recommend them - and I recommend them highly.

It's impressive how everyone seems to become fast friends in just a single day, and I'd love to be one of the regulars they recognize, too. I was especially blown away by the owner's attentiveness.

It's rare to find that kind of genuine care

Blaksteel has been in this little strip mail near Camelback and 40th St for years, as long as i can remember. it's a smaller gym with smaller crowds and classes. i mean, if you're looking for an Orange Theory or Lifetime gym experience, this isn't it. meaning it's not glossy or pretentious. there's no poolside DJ. (there's no pool.) it's a "do the work" kind of place with really good instructors. imo, that is to say, it's not a place for everyone. if you're looking to make gains, achieve results, this is the place for you. really nice to have a business like this in the community. at minimum, if you're into fitness, it's a good place to give a try.

I recently had a very negative and downshifting experience with high-pressure sales from a "women's only" gym. Tri-Core is the OPPOSITE of that.

The trainers are excellent and able to modify workouts for all levels, the facility is very clean and well-kept, and the workouts offered are varied to include weight training along with Pilates, if desired. I cannot recommend enough, but don't take my word for it. The doors are always open to anyone interested in moving forward on their health journey. See you there!

The guy at the front desk was incredibly friendly and helped us check in without any stress. We took the TriCore Fire class with Mackenzie, and she was amazing! She took the time to explain the reformers (which we had never used before) and guided us through everything so we didn't feel lost. There was also another instructor taking the class with us, and she was just as sweet and supportive. Everyone ,from staff to instructors , made us feel welcome, supported, and empowered. It was a genuinely fun and challenging workout -- the kind that makes you sweat but still enjoy every second. I'm already planning to come back for another class. I will say it is smaller than expected, and there were about nine people in our class, which we didn't mind. I can't recommend TriCore enough. You'll leave feeling stronger, more confident, and glad you gave it a shot!
