Wow, I went to an orientation for their 6 week challenge and found out that you have to put $497 down in order to "have your skin in the game". 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. read more

Psychosomatic Fitness - Their ridiculous contract that they don't let you take home to talk about it with your spouse. - Fitness & Instruction Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The workouts are great and the staff is really motivating! I really enjoyed going. The only thing I didn't care for was the advertisement as "free" when the challenges cost anywhere from 59-495 plus they talk you into supplements which are quite pricey (some of them were worth it and some were not, but I didn't know this when I bought them). I didn't necessarily mind paying for the classes because in comparison to CrossFit etc it is reasonably priced but that should have been disclosed prior to signing up for a "free" challenge. Thanks Rachel Knight read more

Amanda is the new gym owner and I have to say she's one of the best she's caring she puts her heart and soul into it and hopefully everybody sees how much she is trying to better your health mind and spirit read more

MANY times I have asked Psychosomatic Fitness nicely to STOP texting me, and I still get your text messages including Today. I NEVER gave you any permission to automatically text me. I have called and written to you. Nothing is done to correct my records (delete them). Instead of making empty promises, Psychosomatic Fitness needs to read these reviews and consider how you treat the public, who are your potential customers, their families, friends and coworkers. Readers: Beware - The negative reviews from different people here are True! It is not OK to lie and misrepresent your business! Says a lot about this company's unethical business practices. I will press legal charges against Psycho. Fitness, if they do not cease and desist these kinds of unprofessional behaviors to me and others! Goodbye For Good, I Hope! read more

I did one challenge, lost 25lbs, signed up for the second (per contract) and failed miserably. The gym itself is phenomenal, the trainers; phenomenal, Lauren; phenomenal. I was busy with midterms, a shitty job, being a single parent, etc, so the second session (that started toward the end of February) I fell off within the first two weeks due to no baby sitter, no time to make to go to the gym and overall being overwhelmed with my, then, current life. And, of course, you can't roll over to another session unless you have a doctor's note, per Amanda, which no doctor is going to write a note for someone that just is too busy and too stressed to attend gym sessions. So I dropped off. I don't have a problem with the gym, in fact I signed up for a membership. Because for me it wasn't about money, it was about finding something that works. I'm still losing weight using their methods. But that doctor's note B.S. put a bad taste in my mouth for the 'higher ups' in the company. You'd think there would be a little more accommodation, or something other than a "sucks to suck" half-assed excuse. read more

I am a registered dietitian in town that has seen MANY people 1+ years after doing this program. They have gained all the weight back plus more and have increased their chronic disease state because of the extreme weight cycling (this also increases risk of gall bladder stones). This program delivers extreme weight loss in the SHORT TERM but it is almost impossible to sustain the parameters of this program for the long term. They gym's focus on functional fitness, group support, and healthy eating (although focused in restriction and shame) is good, helpful, and beneficial but do not partake in the extreme "transformation" talk. Focus on getting healthy not loosing weight! read more

Okay, if I could give this place a zero I totally would. First off this gym is just plain money hungry. And I totally wish I would have read these reviews before going into orientation for the 6 week program! I was told I had to finish the form and put my down "today" and I wasn't obligated to that. Now, less than 24 hours later I am told by Amanda(program coordinator) and Lauren (at the grant location) that it is non refundable but they can put it towards a new start date... I had told them I don't have the money & being the only provider of my household at the moment- my daughter, my husband and I, will be homeless because we cannot make rent. I wanted to go public with this. They do not care about anything but taking your money and telling you that it's $497. You have to have a Facebook for this program. Amanda gives you a sob story of how she was fat, which she only lost 20-30lbs supposedly --- that isn't fat. Lauren gives you a sob story as well about her being heavy in her wedding photos. Okay lol. All the good reviews on here are mandatory for people to get their $497 back to the program. Also if you do not loose the weight with the 6 weeks you forfeit your deposit into a membership. If u want to loose more than 20- you must take a 12 week class. So quite frankly please don't joint this gym or do the program. Just eat right and exercise. There isn't any magic to this but them scamming you for your money. *everyone gets into the 6week challenge. Don't believe they picked you lol. read more

I have just finished my 6 Week Challenge and have surprisingly signed up to continue on at the gym. Overall, my experience was positive. Pros: great workouts that I don't get bored during and I feel strong afterwards and ways to modify for every level of fitness, very low body-shame feeling ever at the facility which is rare for a program like this, clear and thoughtful meal plans, most of the trainers are great and I really enjoyed working with them, availability of an online community to answer questions and share recipes, fast and responsive staff support as well, a mindset of accountability without the typical guilt Cons: it is pricey and not within everyone's budget and can often feel like there are a lot of "extra" costs, I did wish there were more classes at my home (East) gym since I prefer the trainers there, and the challenge has a lot of social media requirements. read more

$497 Gimmick, this is NOT FREE! Hope you got the $ to challenge? If you lose, great! You get back you're $. You refer, great! They make $ if you refer when someone FAILS or you FAIL. Ultimately they only make $ if you FAIL or somebody else FAILS! Are you up for the challenge to make them richer when you or someday else FAILS? Not my 2018 Mantra Arnold Villegas from Tucson, AZ who has not even updated his Facebook page to commit to living in Albuquerque. Dory from ABQ, NM. read more

If I could do zero stars I would. If you don't care about your money they're great, my wife and I have moved outside of the area and are now forced to either keep the $100/month charge or pay over $1000 right now in order to cancel the membership. Absolutely no compassion or flexibility with these people, I regret even considering this place as my gym read more

(PART 2...the first half is on the Ina location) 4. Within a certain amount of days after completing the challenge, they require you to post reviews of them on Google and Facebook. Again, they make it look as though you can rate them how you want just as long as you DO review them, but it sure has the same coercive feeling as everything else. So keep in mind that the HUNDREDS of reviews you find of them are not because people are so happy with them that they are compelled on their own to write reviews. They do it because they HAVE to. And good for them and the people that truly believe it was a 5-star-experience. Just heed this caution that not ALL reviews may be genuine or without the compulsory undertones of "I have to write this review to get my $500 back". Aside from these types of rules, the entire place exudes a creepy vibe. It's like a mix between a cult and a timeshare sales pitch. Amanda (?) tells you her sob story about being a fat girl and her life of change when she found fitness, she pushes you to share personal information in front of everyone (while shouting the entire time like a drill instructor), and then begins to give you the rules information in the form of a sales pitch. Everything is said very well rehearsed and as though you can "leave at any time" and we "just want you to be successful". I feel like I need to go to one of those exit-therapy houses for cult survivors after listening to her, and I only experienced a trial class and the "welcome meeting". I should also mention, that aside from my disagreement in their rules, I am not fat. I am 20 pounds above my pre-college weight, but still in a low-BMI for my height. I thought they could help me get back to the 110s (and they probably could have if I wanted to abide by their rules). If you've ever heard of "fat-shaming", I experienced the opposite as soon as I walked in the door. EVERY participant was HUGE and they all looked at me and said "You don't need to be here..." After hearing that, and other rude "skinny-shaming" comments from every participant, I realized I didn't want to spend 6 weeks with these people! In short, TECHNICALLY you can follow all the rules, get your $500 back and never look at them or "drink their Kool-aid" again. BUT, keep all of these factors in mind before jumping into this "free challenge". I'm sure I will get a response from someone at the gym. Maybe even Amanda (?). It will make them look great and make it sound like they are completely transparent about their practices and just in it to make everyone better and healthier. Just keep in mind my experience before deciding to take the challenge! I mean seriously, though, mad props to the gym owner for being a genius. What a great business idea (I'm not even being sarcastic here)! It is the most convoluted, psychologically confusing, and controlled/embedded advertising scheme I have ever seen! He really should apply this concept of using people to other areas and he could make SERIOUS money. read more

I never thought I would be one for dieting, but 10 months after I had my son, I realized I needed a change. The program is pricey, but if you follow the instructions, trust the process, and put in the hard work (having a motivator helps!)...it won't be a problem. I felt different in the first week. I found out what dairy and sugar really did to my body once I stopped eating it. I felt like a new person! I did not pay all of the money up front. Amanda was willing to work with me on a payment plan until my start date. I knew about the diet, but not the detox the first 3 days. I found out about that the day before the challenge started, but because I was so motivated, I made do with what I had at home. I encourage anyone to try working out with more than their instructor at their home gym, every instructor is different, find the one that gives you the best workout. For me it was the Grant location, my home gym was Harrison. **For a complete lifestyle change and transformation physically, mentally, and emotionally, this is the program for you!! read more

So, I have just begun the six week challenge. I've always been someone that worked out and stayed in shape. The last couple of years, life happened, I got sad and almost lost my mum. My life changed into being a caretaker on top of all of my other responsibilities. I fell into bad eating habits and didn't make time for the gym because of the new demands in my life. Things started to look up again and got into a routine. Even though I had always been into fitness, I just couldn't muster up that motivation that I needed to get back at it. Breaking the bad eating habits was very hard, even though most of my life, I was pretty diligent. I've tried several diets and programs to no avail. I now realize what it was. I needed support, accountability and some guidance. I've found it with this program. Admittedly, I was a little skeptical, but not now that I'm doing it. Essentially, you're betting them that you're going to lose 20lbs in six weeks. The money that you put up is motivation. You want your money back! They even make the odds in YOUR FAVOR. They provide the workouts, train you, teach you how to eat AND give positive support every step of the way. There are also many many people who SUCCEED doing the program. If you join a gym and pay a personal trainer, you're going to spend a whole lot more money, and you don't have the opportunity to get it back. What's even better is, the trainers have been through it too. They also get motivation from us. It's a great concept and community. They CARE, I mean they really care. As I stated earlier, I'm a fitness veteran. I was a gym rat, but I needed some help to get back there. I've seen the bad reviews, but these people DID NOT PARTICIPATE in the program. It's their loss. To me, it's worth the money. These people WORK HARD and they deserve. They want you to succeed and are willing to give you your money back WHEN you succeed. I have about 28 to lose. I don't doubt for a minute that I will. Give it a try! You'll see that these bad reviews don't belong. I can't wait until I achieve my goal. I'm already 20lbs lighter read more

I have been working out at Psycho (as I like to call it) since November. Though I cannot say that this is exclusively my only gym (I supplement with Chuze), I can say that this place rocks. The workouts here are great-they are tough and you WILL sweat. Personally, they are the toughest workouts I have ever done. It is in the style of bootcamp with some elements/jargon of CrossFit sprinkled here and there. I did CrossFit for a hot second and I prefer Psycho to CrossFit hands down. Reason: I feel like it takes a while to get a great workout at CrossFit because it requires some time to get the typical CrossFit movements 100% right before you start increasing weight (which in turn is what results in a tough workout). At Psycho, I feel like you can get a great tough workout as soon as you walk through the door. Coaches will help tailor the workouts according to your fitness level and any injuries one might have too. My only gripe is that I wish that they had more times in the weekends. I only get the chance to sleep in during the weekends and weekend classes are only held in the mornings (which is why I need a second gym membership). It's not the most economical gym, but the quality of classes justify the price. Overall, this is a great place for a workout that will kick your butt (but also make it nicer). read more

I am so very disappointed and disgusted with myself for having been taken in by this group. I was initially very excited to apply to be part of the six weeks challenge and to be accepted. The very basis on which Psychosomatic Fitness sells you on being part of the challenge is that it's FREE! Every email, text message stressed this was a free six weeks challenge. Sadly, upon attending the orientation I learned there is NOTHING free about Psychosomatic Fitness or their challenge. To the tune of $500, you get the privilege of being part of the challenge. If you don't reach your intended weight loss goals, they keep your money. If you do meet your goal, they keep your money and now you get to be an "elite member for life." I was fooled. This is a great scam! They got me excited, got me to give up part of my Saturday for an orientation that never once went over what the challenge was going to be, how you would work in this group, what the exercises would be. Shame on you, Psychosomatic Fitness. Shame on you. Now we know why you've chosen such an appropriate name for your facility. You played on my psyche to get me in the hot seat. Fantastic way to prey on a group of people with self-esteem issues and have weight issues. As if it wasn't difficult enough to apply to the program, admitting to yourself that you have a problem and need help. As if it wasn't difficult enough to go to the orientation and divulge information about yourself. I pray this review helps others nor to be taken in by you. read more

Scammers and frauds!! Had i not found a previous review i would have wasted my time driving to their b.s. orientation! I asked them before hand if it was completely free and they said yes. When I mentioned the pre pay cost they failed to divulge and were evasive on answering the question 4 times. Eventually they got upset and said the program was not for me via text. I agree its not for me or anyone expecting to fork over $500 for a free program? They bank on your failures in addition to a $99 fee for taking your BMI wtf? Pleas be weary of these people and company as they DO NOT care to help but bank on your failure to meet their trumped up ludicrous guidelines. If they were truly here to help and run a free clinic you would never pay for anything upfront or on the backend. read more

I joined the 6 week challenge here after some of my girlfriends had done previous challenges with amazing results. The gym environment is awesome, very supportive, and positive. The trainers there are very professional and incredibly helpful. At first when I started the challenge the workouts and meal plan were difficult to adjust. However, after the second week the workouts were so addicting and invigorating. The meal plan which seem diffacult at first, but become almost second nature as the challenge goes on. I had started to try to be and eat healthier on my own, but joining the gym really made me accountable for my health. I am excited for my next challenge and really looking forward to a healthier lifestyle. read more

I signed up for the 6-week 20lbs challenge, which helps you loose 20lbs in 6 weeks. The program not only involves exercise, but also proper nutrition and a meal plan. My goal was not as much to loose weight as it was to tone up and get a good start at exercising again. After the 6 weeks I had lost about 17.5lbs - a week later I lost a total of 21lbs. The high intensity interval training (HIIT) they do is spot on and helps work out almost all your muscle groups. After my first session I thought I was going to die, but I was able to quickly recover and do 5 sessions a week for 6 weeks. I decided to sign up for another year, as an Elite member, where my goal is to loose another 20lbs in 8-12 weeks and then work on increasing my stamina and muscle tone. read more

I started the 6 week challenge in July. If you are serious about getting into shape they help you. Everything takes time and money. Nothing in this world is free. It is more expensive to eat healthy and workout routinely. So yes if you are wanting to get fit for free this isn't for you. The diet is strict. And there are supplements that are needed to help you. A scam is something that you put money towards and get nothing in return. However here you get your health back. If you can create your own meal plan and your own workout schedule, great! If you need a team environment and someone leading the workout this is for you. You pay for what you get. I lost my 20 and I am doing another challenge. Money is spent on a whole lot worse. I would rather spend it on bettering my body so I can live longer for my family. I did not rate them a 5 because everything and everyone can use an improvement. The hours are somewhat hard to work with if you don't have an average Monday through Friday job. Weekends are only morning hours. So if you work the weekend it is not possible for you to make the workouts. Wish the hours were more flexible. read more

Good program, but their business practices suck. FYI, take a pic of your contract before handing it in.

My wife and I started going to this east side gym in January doing the 20 lb 6 week challenge. We have been to a number of other gyms in town, but like the atmosphere of the gym and workouts. They have a number of morning and evening classes, but nothing in between 9am and 4:15pm. They trainers are friendly and knowledgeable to help with modifications if you need low impact with any of the exercises. Most of the workouts use only body weight or dumbbells, and range from upper body, lower body, core, and full body workouts. I would recommend trying the 6 week challenge if you have at least 20 lbs from your ideal weight. The meal plan is manageable and workouts differ each day to keep things from getting boring. As an active person this has been a great way to jump start my progress on becoming more fit and living a healthier lifestyle. I wouldn't say this will replace the typical free weight gym that I am used to and will go back to, but it is something to consider to get that core and full body workout in a few times a week. read more

I found myself in a life routine that was headed in the wrong direction. Coming home watching TV and realizing I had done this now for 5-6 hours and eating all the wrong foods. Every night. One night I was surfing Facebook when I came across the ad. I applied and it has probably been one of the best choice I made for myself in a longtime. Once in the program I found myself challenged by the workouts and eating program. I stayed true to the process and starting seeing results. I know six weeks doesn't seem like you could make anything truly happen but the process they have in place works! With planning your meals and taking advantage of the workouts and quality,enthusiastic,caring trainers it can be life changing. I consider myself just your average person but when it was all said and done I achieved some crazy results of 27.5 lbs weight loss,new attitude,great new friends, and learning how to deal with all these compliments I am receiving. I was totally blown away! I highly recommend this gym. You will get the support and results you have always desired. I am living proof of it. Thank you Psychosomatic Transformation Center. read more

A great place to get back into the mindset of a healthy lifestyle, with wonderful trainers who help everyone from beginner to elite succeed! In no way would I have considered myself an athlete or fit before entering this training center, and the great people here - members and trainers alike - were able to show me anything was possible. Everyone is on the same level here, with no judgement, just great training and amazing results. read more

When I arrived at this gym, I was at my plateau. A weight that had stared at me over and over and I could not just bust through it! Frustrated, I'd given up many times before. My friend started this gym and dragged me, kicking and screaming, I reluctantly signed up. I'm so glad I did. The first week, I busted through my plateau weight losing six pounds. The first week!! I've continued to lose from there, usually averaging 2-4 per week. The atmosphere is welcoming and the trainers are so motivating! Somedays, I did not want to go, but I forced myself, and when I left, I felt so good! This transformation center really is, just that. The transformation goes far beyond the physical. Mentally I feel fantastic and am excited to go for my final weigh in. Who knew anyone could be excited to go to a weigh in??! If you are stuck and want to change your mindset and your body, you need to come here! They will change you and you will leave stronger; in every aspect. read more
