Physiques Gym - Physiques Gym building bodies - Gyms Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I have been attending the group work out sessions at Physiques Gym for 6 months. Working out 2 to 3 days a week under the guidance of Craig and Cara I have seen a significant change in the physical appearance of my body. Peolpe around me see the change and ask what I am doing because they desire to trasfrom their body like they see my body taking shape. Along with my physical look changing, I am feeling stronger and having less reoccurring pains in my shoulder, which had a surgery 1 year ago. I have enrolled my daughter in their youth summer program and she is absolutely loving it. Their training compliments her soccer and gymnastics programs she has been participating in. For anyone looking to change their lifestyle and create the best person they can be mentally and physically I highly recomend Physiques Gym. read more

I came in Sept 14, 2017 thinking I knew what I wanted and needed. Instead I was gifted a lifestyle and mindset by Craig and Cara that have not only shaped me into the best physical self I've ever been but the ability to take these principles and discipline into my personal and professional life. I came in after doing an extreme diet where I lost 40 lbs. I ended up losing an additional 20 lbs. I'm now building muscle mass and my personal bests keep growing. Technique, form, angles, time under tension, careful guidance and the expertise to push you past your limits and fears - all just a snapshot of what Physiques gives me. I can say without hesitation that Craig, Cara, "the lab" and my tribe have all helped me get to my best life. And it's only been 2 years this month. ‍ If you're sick and tired of being sick and tired you know what to do. Get into action. Results matter. read more

Physiques Gym - Transformation progress as a direct result of Group Personal Training - Gyms Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I hate gyms. Never had a membership. Never saw the point. I am a 165 lbs, average white dude that sits at a computer all day and drinks beer all night. You aren't going to find me in a bodybuilding magazine. My 36th birthday hit, and I had an epiphany of sorts. I woke up and decided to strive to reach my full potential in every phase of my life. I knew about PG through a football program that Craig Tinnelle had trained in the past. After I took the assessment with Tinnelle, reality slapped me in the face about how much work I needed to do. I signed up for a year of training the second that I got done getting sick several times in the bathroom. PG has been a blessing. Everyone there supports one another. The sessions are intense. The results are real, but the surprising part is how it has made me push harder in other phases of my life. Craig, Cara, and Craig 2.0 are the best in the business. Quit reading this review, and get to Physiques. read more

This is a great results driven gym. If you are looking for real change, real results, with real people... this gym is a great option, a true life changing experience! read more

I can't say enough good things about Physiques Gym as you will be able to tell!!! Physiques Gym is more than a gym we are a family! When I came to Physiques I thought I was coming just to exercise, lose some weight, gain some muscle and maybe eat healthier. I have gotten sooo much more than that here! It's been an entire lifestyle and mindset change for me. I have been at Physique's for 4 months and have already done what I wanted to do plus gained so much more in the process. I would have never thought I would've wanted to come to a gym and gain anything but muscle! Here I have gained self confidence, I'm setting boundaries, I feel so much more relaxed and beautiful, I'm mentally much stronger and many areas of my life have changed. I've learned a lot about myself and how strong I actually am and that is the part that you don't expect or even pay for! Craig and the other trainers are always there to support you! They walk the walk and talk the talk! Look at them! Craig believes in you when you may not even believe in yourself! Craig tells you what you need to hear no matter what! Craig is very perceptive as to whether you need to be pushed harder and also if you have something else going on or an injury and need to take a break for a day or two. Sometimes I think he has 10 sets of eyes because he can see everything that needs to be corrected and always makes sure you are doing the exercises properly to prevent injury. Chest up, shoulders back, neck straight, breathe, bend your knees, bend your back leg, open your eyes and arch your back are all words I have not heard from other trainers that I will never forget now! Craig is a coach, teacher, mentor, friend and sooo much more! Another surprise aspect is the friendships I've gained! Everyone is so supportive in group training and your fellow group members will hold you accountable and support you as well. Working in group training has been so rewarding because when you see others pushing themselves it makes you want to push even more! If a group setting is not what you want you can do one on one sessions too. In closing, I am telling you you get so much more then the best trainers you have ever worked with! You get personal coaching and you gain in so many other areas of your life. That aspect was a surprise and an awesome bonus and blessing for me! You will get pushed to new levels and learn to push yourself to new levels and get results faster and greater than what you ever have anywhere else! I am a Arizona Native and have been to at least 20 gyms in the greater Phoenix area over the last 47 years and Physiques Gym is the best gym in town hands down!!! Craig, Cara and C2 you have definitely changed my life and in the process you are also now changing the lives of the most important people to me my children! Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do! Now everyone reading this get your butt to Physiques Gym today and change your life too! read more

I cannot say enough about how much this gym and Craig have changed my life. I starting working out at this gym with Craig and his trainers about 8 months ago. In those 8 months, I have been pushed harder and further than I thought was possible. The results in the end? I have dropped more than 25 pounds and I'm down to about 17% body fat. I have still have work do to but these are results I never thought I could achieve! Don't be intimidated by the 'body builders', this gym is for anyone who is committed to good health and exercise. You are not just a number here, the training and nutritional plans are created to your needs and your body. This is not the gym you join just for the hell of it. This is the gym you join when you are ready to change your physical self and build your body to be the image of yourself you have always dreamed of being. read more

I wish I would have found PG years ago! Their coaches are extremely knowledgeable and can help you achieve you goals whether you are a beginner or you are trying to get competition ready. I would highly recommend both the small group training and the 1:1 sessions. read more

When I made it to the "gym", my workout routine of reading US magazine on the elliptical and doing a few tired weight-training routines from that "one time when I was fit", wasn't feeling terribly effective. Craig and Cara are great personal trainers/coaches in large part because they are excellent teachers. Their personal training sessions have taught my husband and I both how to create a varied and effective workout with proper form and muscle engagement. Craig and Cara consistently explain why we're doing what we're doing. They are as real with you as you can get, no fluff! Craig and Cara are just cool people, easy to talk to....they make you feel very comfortable as you put yourself in the somewhat vulnerable position of attempting self-improvement...Over the last three months we have seen huge transformations, have been mentally prepared for greatness, building stronger bodies week after week, and pushing our discipline to max levels. Thank you PG! read more

Physiques is unlike any other gym in the Valley! I've had a few personal trainers before Craig and I have to say that he blows them all out of the water. Craig and Cara have changed my life and I couldn't be more grateful. Their passion for the fitness industry and changing people's lives fuels the drive that makes them such excellent trainers and coaches. The owner, Craig, is the type of trainer that doesn't let you quit. He believes in you and your abilities, even when you don't. He pushes you to your absolute limit and makes you realize that you DO have it in you, you CAN do this, and you WILL succeed if you follow his precise directions! Simply put, he will change your life and you'll wonder how you went so long without someone like him kicking your butt in the gym! read more

When I started PG I had zero knowledge of weight training. Coaches Craig and Cara know exactly what my body needs to get to the next level. Training is extremely precise. Meal plans are on point and you can even order a meal prep to be delivered to the gym with Kettlebell Kitchen. read more

Everyone has a story & so do I. My story revolves around Craig Tinnelle Owner of Physique's Gym. I literally came to Physique's broken & desperate. Two back surgeries, depressed, & words from my Dr morbidly obese....yikes! I simply uttered the words "help" & Craig's response was "I got you" Fast forward 2 years later & I am nearly down 90 pounds, up a substantial amount of muscle mass, & a renewed positive mental outlook! This isn't just a workout it's a lifestyle change. Physique's is NOT another cookie cutter gym. They break the mold & carve out new territory. You won't experience anything like it because there is nothing like it.... If you are doing the same things over & over & getting the same unwanted results then I encourage you to finally get out of your comfort zone & put it in the hands of a proven expert! What is the worst thing that could happen....success? A big thank you to Craig & the Physique's gym Family....signed journey in progress:-) read more

Legit as it gets. Instructors are experts and keep it real with you. Craig is the best posing coach around. read more

I am near 50 and started working out by myself for the first time ever in my life at Lifetime Fitness. I wasn't able to get results but I watched my business partner who was going to Physiques become huge during the same time. So I went to Craig and he was able to get me to add 25 pounds of lean muscle in 6 months. I learned a tremendious amount about my body and what it takes to achieve these results. I feel so much better every day and definately look better! Craig will not only push you to your physical limits but fully educate you along the way. If you want scenery and don't care about results go to Lifetime, If you want results and an education go to Physiques. Oh, and there are no clipboards that the trainer will be holding, many times they are in there working with you....... read more

Best gym and trainer in the business hands down! I have worked out on and off for 20yrs and thought I knew what i was doing...I was dead wrong about it all. I was not only taught proper technique and diet but was amazed on how far my body could be pushed. Thanks to Craig he pushed me far beyond what i thought my limits were and had me achieve goals higher than I set for myself. Most people you see working out on their own spending 2hrs at the gym are really wasting their time...like I was but Craig has me training in half the time and with far better results. Physiques is so addicting...I have been training there for 4yrs and counting and guarantee once you step foot in Physiques you will be sold 100%. Thanks Craig! read more

Wow. I have been lifting on and off for 15 years. I thought I just needed accountability and a plan to reach some goals of mine. I was wrong. Craig redefined what working out is and taught me how to lift aggressively and with a purpose. My strength and technique improved rapidly and I learned discipline and how to push myself to new levels. I am beyond grateful for my time as physiques! read more

Craig and Cara are both amazing...love their professionalism and commitment to my health!!

So you want a new you? Craig is definitely one of the best trainers I have worked with - focused, professional, humble honest - straight forward! read more

I joined Physiques Gym in February of this year and was excited to hire a "trainer " to help me not only get in better shape aesthetically, but to help strengthen my back in hopes of curing years of back and hip pain. I soon realized that Craig was not any typical trainer, but a coach that genuinely cared about me and my goals. With his years of knowledge and expertise, he has helped push me farther than I ever thought I could go; physically and mentally. He will NOT let you quit and sees your potential far beyond what you are able to see for yourself. Craig and Cara are phenomenal trainers and I can't wait to continue making progress and to see the changes in my body. If you are truly serious about improving your mind and body and want to take yourself to the next level, physiques gym is the place to go. read more

I started at Physique's Gym to gain strength and endurance, to have someone hold me accountable and push me past my limits. That is exactly what happens at Physique's Gym. You receive personal training and have Craig the Tinn-Mann pushing you and motivating you to sculpt a better you. It's not easy and you will be challanged. You will leave drenched and sweat and wanting to quit and they will remind you why you started. At Physique's Gym you're not in the fitness world alone you are part of a team. Those teammates will push you to put in the work and join you to make sure you receive the results you want. You will work along side people who will do extra reps and sets after theirs are done to ensure that you don't feel alone on your fitness journey. You just have to make the decision to push through the discomfort and embrace the burn as you train muscles to work harder than they have before. When I started at Physique's Gym 3 weeks ago, I had already joined and quit multiple gym memberships for years and still couldn't complete pull - ups or tricep dips or do anything more than a "wall" pushup. Since joining PG, I have already seen my strength improve and have seen my determination and willpower grow. read more

When you step foot into this gym, make sure you are actually ready to work. Tinn Man in is a brutally honest, former Marine who can smell when your dragging ass. If you are ready to work be ready to see life changing results. read more

I can't say enough about Physiques Gym. After doing some major research to locate a gym with a very high intensity and high accountability level. We decided on Physiques Gym. My 14 year old son is in very good shape from playing competitive hockey and working with trainers since he was very young. This is by far the best off ice training he has ever experienced! He loves Physiques Gym and is very proud to be a part of this gym and their dedication to success! read more

I had the best experience working out at Physiques'. I came to Physiques' wanting to gain more strength and become a faster runner. Craig put together a different workout every session and managed to get me stronger and healthier. In 5 months I significantly increased my running speed and noticed I was getting stronger and looking better. I could not recommend a better trainer. The atmosphere is welcoming and there is a variety of people in all shapes and sizes working out. read more

I had just moved into phoenix and was looking for a gym to get into shape. As an aspiring professional golfer I wanted a gym that showed as much dedication to their craft as I did. I got that and more with physiques. The culture is a fun but a hardworking one. If your looking for handouts this is not the place for you. They pushed me mentally and physically to places I could not of gotten too on my own. This is the best gym in the valley with instructors who are educated and know how to get results. Everyday is a new workout that will test physical and mental strength. If your serious about getting into shape and looking for a proven environment, this is the place for you. Five stars all the way. read more

I started going to Physiques about a year ago, and I cannot recommend this gym enough! The owner Craig Tinnelle and his team of trainers really know how to help people become successful in their fitness goals. It all starts with a consultation with one of the trainers to find out where you are at, and where you want to be. You then have the option to work out with a trainer independently, or be a part of the group training sessions- I chose the group training sessions and found these to be a fun and productive challenge. The workouts are unique each session, so you don't get bored with doing the same thing over and over. This also helps you target different muscle groups for an overall better exercise regime. During these sessions, Craig and his trainers instill confidence and motivation for your growth and development. The support from others in your group is significant, creating a great sense of camaraderie. A theme I have noticed is it is not how big/fast/strong you are in comparison with others in the gym, it's about how far you have come on your OWN journey. For myself, I have seen significant gains in both overall strength and health; I have more energy and feel better. As with anything, the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. But the knowledge, expertise, and focus that Craig and his team bring can help you get the most of your efforts. I have joined/attended many gyms in the past. There I got a towel or a water bottle; at Physiques I got results! read more

There are so many great things about Physiques that I do not know where to begin. To start- my life has been forever changed. This is not the type of gym where you find yourself signing contracts and talking to multiple fake smiling faces just to get your credit card and forget about you. Here, you speak to one man. His name is Craig. He knows what he is doing, he loves doing it and most importantly, he cares. Tell him what it is that you want and he will design a plan that will give you results. Physiques is so much more than a gym. It is family. We all support each other. There is no judging and not once have I ever felt uncomfortable. This is a place where you go to get what YOU want. And you will have the support of the entire gym. Last year I weighed 235lbs. Today I weigh in at 158. (Did I just admit my weight??) yes I did. Not only have I lost fat, but I have gained muscle and my own physique truly shows definition and tone. I am healthy, I am confident and I am happy :) read more

I have been with Physiques personal training for 2 1/2 years and cannot say enough about how great they are. Craig Tinnelle is the best personal trainer as far as achieving real results, and motivating you to keep going. I have learned a tremendous amount about training, muscle building, and nutrition. At 44 I feel and look 24! Thanks to Craig. read more
