They sell it as this is a last resort for you to lose weight. You can easily join any gym who has strength training classes and get the same results. I did it before I moved here last year and I lost 42 lb and was on a low carb. This gym just babysits you basically to get results and and hold your feet to the fire or if not, if you can't commit to their timely challenge, then you'll lose your $500. It only be worth it if you can really do it, meaning that you have no other obligations that will interfere with going there 5 times a week. So if you need childcare forget it. Don't do it because they don't have it. Honestly this is an overpriced gym. This gym doesn't have to buy workout machines so there's no maintenance on that equipment or the manpower and extra supplies to wipe down all that machinery so I don't know why there Elite memberships are so damn expensive. It's ridiculous. On top of that during their membership drives they blocked a lot of people from commenting about the way they do things, to include the fact about the up front $497. What kind of company blocks other people from reviewing their company. If you're really THAT good, then you would STAND by your name and fight for your gym. You don't so I'm posting my review from my experience everywhere.

I have always worked on my fitness and what once worked was no longer yielding results. I came across Telos and decided to give their free class a try. I knew I had nothing to lose. Though I survived the class, I was worried that I reinjure myself by going to hard, too fast. I decided I needed professional help. I swallowed my pride and signed up right away. Started with 30 minute sessions twice a week and slowly built up to 3 times a week for 1 hour. After 8 weeks, I'm stronger, finally pain free, and I can do moves I have been unable to do in 8+ years! It still plan on joining the regular group classes but I am enjoying the personalized sessions. My trainer has my ability in mind and knows just how far I can go and pushes me a little further. I even signed my son up for the teen performance class and I love how it's given him more confidence in competitive swim and soccer. He feels stronger and when he plays against the "big kids", he no longer shys away. It can be scary trying new things but this gym is absolutely NOT intimidating. I love my hour in the gym because it's 1 hour I am dedicating to myself without distraction. I love that it's just me, my trainer, and good music. Everything else can wait. The best time to start good habits is yesterday, the next best time is today!

I was let go from this gym after speaking up about misconduct. That alone should tell you…read moreeverything. The training is solid, that's the only reason this is one star. But the culture is toxic in ways that took me a while to fully see. Staff who are married or in relationships openly engage in inappropriate behavior with members. That's the baseline here. What's not tolerated is being a serious, independent athlete with your own voice. I had ideas for the gym regarding gear, content, improvements, that were taken and pitched by others as their own. No credit, no acknowledgment. Your place here is determined by how compliant you are, not how hard you work or how talented you are. Speak up, and you're out. Most importantly: I would not send any young girl here. I raised concerns about staff behavior toward young female members and was removed for it. If a gym's response to someone speaking up about safety is to silence them, that is not a safe environment. I came here to train and compete. I left because I refused to stay silent. If you're a serious athlete, especially a young woman, you deserve better than this.

John Bassford and Chris Garner are incredible at the sport itself but also possess a seemingly endless supply of energy, patience, and eye for detail. They will not coddle you, but they also will not make you feel stupid as you learn. And learning is what they want you to do. It is hands on, you will work with others in the class respectfully, they insure that. There is a limit anyone can learn simply practicing alone or with someone who will not challenge them. This is not something you need to take into consideration at Undisputed. If you want to improve you will have to suffer the pain education brings with it. Undisputed understands this. They will not antagonize this inevitability. Any rivalry that springs into being from sparring is kept amicable. For those with lousy vocabularies this means respectful, friendly, maybe even fun. All skill levels are embraced and all are welcome. It is a rare community, a real community, a place where you become part of something greater and are free to roam and lift weights or tap into the dynamic teachers who are there. Finally, Cassie worked with me on payment plans and proved that not all gyms are rigidly fixed on taking your money. She was accomodating and fair. I do not know any other gyms that can be said about.

The best way I can describe it is that it's the perfect mix of self-guided and coach-supported workouts. You use an app on your phone that walks you through your workout, so you can work at your own pace and really focus on building strength during the hour. At the same time, there are always coaches there to guide you, encourage you, help with form, and keep you motivated. This setup has been amazing for us. My boyfriend has lost a total of 47 pounds, and I've gotten noticeably stronger myself. Recently, I was even able to lift our 85-pound dog, which felt like a huge win for me. I'm also working on improving my posture, and the coaches have been so helpful in supporting that goal. What really makes this place special, though, is the atmosphere. It's such a friendly, welcoming gym -- honestly kind of like Cheers, where everyone knows your name. You're not just a number here. You get to see the same people over and over, there's a real sense of community, and little things like the birthday and anniversary board make it feel even more personal. I also love being able to track progress in the app. If you're someone who likes seeing your improvement over time, that feature is incredibly motivating. Coach Ethan is also phenomenal and helps schedule the workouts every month to keep your progress moving forward. He's super friendly and approachable. It's also really cool that even the owner comes to the Oro Valley location -- that says a lot about the kind of place this is. A huge shoutout to Coach Tyler, James, Lizzy, Ethan, and intern Ryan -- they have all been phenomenal in their own ways and have helped me keep pushing toward my strength and posture goals. Whatever your motivation is, whether it's weight loss, strength, confidence, posture, or just finding a gym where you feel comfortable, I highly recommend Block Fitness.

Updated review - I'm going on 7 years with Block. I came for the gym...I stayed for the coaches,…read morethe friends I've made, and the Block community. Let's be honest, there are lots of places you could go to get fit. But not many places where the coaching staff are invested in you and your progress, whether it be injury recovery (or prevention) or wanting to just being able to carry the 40 pound dog food bag without help, Block has a program to help you accomplish that. And the camaraderie with the other members gives you lots of good feels endorphins. A PR in deadlifts? The others in the gym stop and cheer your accomplishment. Getting on the assault bike for the first time after knee replacement? Another group cheer! And the fact that Block donates part of your dues each month towards preventing child abuse? BONUS. I can't imagine working out anywhere else.

I checked out Block Fitness in the Catalina Foothills and immediately understood why people feel…read morecomfortable walking in the door here. This is a real community gym--clean, modern, well-organized, and welcoming without being intimidating. The space itself is impressive: open, bright, and thoughtfully laid out with quality equipment, plenty of room to move, and clearly structured stations. Everything feels intentional and well maintained, from the strength rigs to the cable machines. It's functional training done right--no chaos, no overcrowding, just efficient use of space that makes workouts flow smoothly. What really stood out to me was the people. The coaches are approachable, attentive, and clearly invested in making sure everyone feels supported, regardless of age or fitness level. You get the sense that this gym is designed for people, not just hardcore athletes--which I genuinely appreciate. The vibe is motivating without being pushy, and inclusive without watering down the workout. Bonus points for the details: clean locker rooms with showers (huge plus), water stations, and a front desk area that actually feels welcoming rather than transactional. Even the branding carries a strong "you belong here" message--and it doesn't feel forced. If you're looking for a well-run, community-focused strength and conditioning gym in the Foothills that balances structure, quality coaching, and a supportive environment, Block Fitness is absolutely worth checking out.

They will push you but show kindness and care when you need it. I love that this is not just a circuit workout but utilizes a vast variety of approaches using an array of equipment and flexible options. I easily get bored with workouts but am never bored here. In addition, they work hard to create a warm community among their clientele, and always make time for fun conversations and music. I almost signed up with a personalized gym closer to my house but they tried extensive hard-selling techniques with me and the price kept changing with every conversation. The options seemed intentionally overwhelming and not transparent. Block was very up front about their membership structure. And even though it feels a little expensive for me each month, it's less than if I paid for a big chain membership and then hired a trainer there. And honestly I feel that the knowledge and expertise at Block is much superior. I also have to say I think it is fantastic how they partner with the U of A to recruit coaches and interns from the relevant programs there. I love feeling connected to Tucson and the University and this is a bonus.
