    I met Arturo a year ago when I was looking for someone to train with and instantly had a good feeling about him.

    I'm sharing this for safety reasons…read more During a squat session a few months back, I told my trainer that my back was hurting during the squats. Despite this, I was instructed to complete another set. During that final set, I injured my back badly enough that I could not walk afterward. At no point was the exercise stopped, reduced, or modified when I reported pain. I still can't squat, my back isn't fully recovered. Afterward, communication was disappointing. When my husband and I later explained that we needed to pause training due to finances, we received no response. Regardless of certification or experience level, a trainer should prioritize client safety, listen when pain is reported, and communicate professionally. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. Update: After posting this review, the trainer contacted me and offered me money to take my review down. Since he can't contact me he reached out to my husband regarding my review. I am adding this update for transparency.

    Since losing weight, I've been obsessed with getting a tight, lean and sculpted physique like a…read moresurfer or a yogi. I've always admired swimmers bodies, so I've been doing a lot of tightening exercises. Now, first of all, I've always been an adventurous person. The first of my friends to try something new, to travel by myself to strange places and even take on 30-day challenges. Surfing, the ultimate rush-inducer, seemed like a natural next challenge for me, but I am not a good swimmer. Plus I live in Phoenix, the land of lithe, spandex-clad spinning addicts--no surf boys here. I know...I know...excuses....excuses! I can go to Hawaii with my flight benefits, and I can always learn how to swim. However, getting on a plane just to learn how to surf seems like more work for me. So when I saw the Groupon for SurfSet, a new indoor surfing class for landlubber Phoenicians, I jumped at the chance to try it. All I can say is I'm not disappointed. The exercises that weave in Yoga and Pilates along with surf moves work on your core to give you that lean, flat stomach. It's also great for muscle building and balance. I was sweating like crazy, and my arms were sore! I loved it, but don't expect this place to be a huge gym because it's not. It's a small studio, but with great instructors. That's a great thing! The classes are more intimate. Another positive: You can buy Shakeology here! My protein shake of choice! :)

I was only in town for the week visiting and finding a groupon to try surf set was exciting enough but getting an amazing workout made it an even better deal. The classes are small so lots of personal attention and friendly advise. Don't miss this awesome place if you want to have fun and get in shape

    Anson has been my trainer for over two years. I had been having back, knee, and shoulder pain from…read moreregularly enjuring myself working out. With Anson's help, the pain is gone. I am achieving some significant improvement in a short time. His coaching supports a focus on longevity. Now, my results are so amazing that I can't stop this momentum. I am over 60, but I feel like I have pushed back 30 years. I am so pleased I found this guy. My friends have seen the benefits and are looking for Anson to do the same for them. Anson listens closely to my needs. He customizes my workouts based on my body, physical capabilities, and my goals. No matter what age you are, he fits in a plan that works. He also helped to improve my nutrition with regular nutrition guidance, resulting in meeting my target weight and nutritional goals. I am going to suggest that if you are over 50, you will really benefit from Anson's knowledgeable approach. I sure have. He comes to my home 3 times each week rather than me going to a gym - saving me significant time. He is flexible, so I can workout outside of my busy work schedule. He takes a strong interest in my well-being. He follows up during the week asking how things are going and gives suggestions. Although I purchased some home weights, actually no gym equipment is needed when he comes to the house! He brings anything needed. I highly recommend Anson as a trainer! He is dedicated and always on time. This guy is so positive you will catch that energy from him! I say to friends, grab this guy now before he becomes so popular, there are no openings. He is that good.

I also LOVE the color scheme of this gym! I recently joined again, and while the location of this facility is not my favorite, it's near home and the facility itself is always clean and well maintained. They offer a few different membership levels, and I choose the Black card since it allows access to any PF. PF is located all over the country, which is something else I really like about this gym chain. There are a lot of cardio machines, and strength training machines. The space itself is huge! I usually come here in the mornings and there is NEVER a wait for anything! I'm sure the evenings are a bit busier, but I don't think you would have to wait long if all the machines happened to be in use. There are spray bottles and paper towels to wipe machines off, they have a stretching area, and a few other areas with specific machines in them. They also offer hydro massage machines and tanning beds. The restrooms have showers and lockers. One thing I do wish PF offered was more classes/a variety of classes. But other than that, I really love PF and this location has always been a great place to workout at. I highly recommend considering PF if you're looking for a gym.

    This location on Peoria has good hours but the parking lot is a little sketch at 5am. I've been…read moreusing this location while at a nearby airbnb. The gym itself is huge and there are tons of machines and various areas. The cardio machines are different from my home PF gym located in Sunnyslope. I don't love these machines as much as the ones as the Sunnyslope location -- except they have built in fans in each machine. Some of the machines are off balance and some are out of order. I think this location is dirtier than Sunnyslope. This morning when I was there there were massive dust bunnies on the floor, a water like substance spilled on the floor and many of the paper towel dispensers were out of paper towels. Also for two days on the floor of one of the weight machines it looked like someone had peeled their nail polish. The weight machines are kind of cool in that they count your reps and the time it takes to do the rep... if the machine is working. But the handles have this weird grating that is slightly uncomfortable to grip unless you have weight gloves. I'll be glad to get back to the Sunnyslope location.
