Joining Transform Scottsdale was the best decision I've made for myself. From day one, the energy was welcoming and the workouts pushed me in the best way possible. Huge shout out to Becky -- her encouragement and expertise kept me going on the days I doubted myself. I feel stronger, more confident, and proud of how far I've come. If you're ready to change your life, this is the place to do it!" #TransformScottsdale #ThankYouBecky #StrongerEveryDay read more

My husband did a wonderful job in selecting Transform Scottsdale for our personal training. We've had many personal trainers throughout the years so we know what we are looking for. Matt is welcoming and knowledgeable in his field. He thoroughly stepped us through their processes. Nutrition is included which is a plus. This is our first time recording our daily food/drink. It's amazing how you become more aware and accountable! It'a only been a month and we already see results. Matt keeps us moving and 45 minutes flies by. He customized our workouts based on our individual needs/desires. We started 2 days per week but will increase to 3 days. We highly recommend Transform to help get you fit and live healthier. I will update this review after 3 months. read more

Transform stands out from other gyms! Having tried multiple trainers at different facilities, my best results have come from Transform. The trainings are personalized and include an emphasis on accountability, which is really important for me. They also provide great information about nutrition and food choices. I've shed 30lbs and I"m feeling significantly healthier. I've worked with several trainers at Transform, all of whom are excellent. Sierra is my primary trainer, and she has been amazing. For those seeking genuine transformation in body and health, I wholeheartedly recommend Transform Scottsdale. read more

I have been very dedicated to health and fitness throughout my life but I was bored and tired of planning my own workouts. Nine months ago, I started working out with Alicia. My schedule is very unpredictable so there have been weeks I have not been able to workout with her as well as weeks I've been able to workout with her 3 days a week for 30 minutes a day. The improvement in my overall strength and physique has been so impressive. As far as the gym, everyone is very friendly, and enjoyable to be around. No matter what your goals are, I highly recommend Alicia and Transform Scottsdale whether you are an expert weight lifter or someone who has never lifted weights. read more

First impressions are crucial. I called to find out a bit more about what they had to offer but I didn't receive a very welcoming response on the phone. The greeting was "Transform Scottsdale" and when I said Hi and asked who I was speaking with, the response was a flat "Transform Scottsdale". I wanted to have a personalized conversation but I received cold reception. I really wanted to give this company a chance but I didn't get a friendly welcoming experience in my phone call; as a result, I am turning to another company that charges more for the same type of service. The difference was in the first impression I received as a potential, able, and willing client. I didn't feel they would be a "good fit" for me. read more

Shelby is phenomenal!! I can not say enough wonderful things. Not only is she helpful inside the gym, but also outside. She takes the time to get to know YOU, and figure out what meal plans, workouts and changes can be incorporated to help you and YOUR goals. She really works with you as a team to ensure you get the results you are looking for. Not only has she brought a positive attitude but really gets to know her clients for who they are and any pre existing conditions she needs to take in to play. I have celiac and pcos, so those are two big hitters that need to have a lot of attention and guidence. I appreciate her honesty and help so much! read more

I've been working with Alicia for months now and really like this gym. When you walk in they always say hi and call you by name. The trainers work together as a team and are very helpful in helping you reach your goals. read more

Hooooly crap, where do I begin? I started working with Sierra at Transform about 3 months ago, and... it's hard to find words to describe how life-changing this has been without sounding like a friggin infomercial. But oh man. I tend to excitedly yammer on & on when somebody asks me about my gym, so here's me turning my thoughts into a bullet point list: * Oh my god I went from the worst shape of my life to the best shape of my life quickly, this is nuts * My trainer (Sierra) didn't just clock me & in out of my workout sessions. From day 1 she was laser-focused on my success, both inside & outside the gym. I've never seen anything like this. * Every trainer at Transform seems to have this mission-driven approach, to be truly & deeply invested in their clients' success. It's crazy, like I've honestly never really even seen a business of any kind where everyone was so focused on helping their customers succeed. * This has gone far beyond just getting me into incredible shape; it's been transformative in ways that I never expected out of a gym. (see next bullet points) * I've spend most of my adult life trying to switch from DoorDash'ing everything, to cooking. I've never had the time, energy, ability, etc to cook, and I've tried countless times.As of today, I've been cooking 95% of my meals at home. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE. like, this wasn't even a goal I was aiming for when I was looking for a gym. I didn't expect this to happen. It just did. I'm eating tastier food than ever, saving a ton of money, sorry there's no way to not sound like an informercial here but really it's just still blowing my mind * I've been trying to develop cooking habits for the better part of my adult life, and always failing. As a software engineer, I've mostly relied on tech co cafeterias and doordash. The latter became ridiculously bland & expensive during the pandemic, and despite my best efforts I could never break out of that routine... and then I finally did, kinda without even trying. I dunno, Sierra made it 2nd nature for me, and I still don't know how lol. I've been cooking 95% of my own meals, the food I eat is 10x tastier, I don't experience blood sugar drops throughout the day that crater my productivity... I could talk for an hour about how huge this has been. * The other day a friend commented on how great I looked, and asked, "what's been the hardest part?" I drew a blank. I'm still trying to figure this one out, but best I can tell they just made everything from exercise to nutrition feel like it's on easy mode. * I'd previously worked with a trainer at a similar boutique gym that mostly catered to professional athletes. So I thought I'd already worked with the best of the best. Boy was I wrong. Transform is just on another level. * I almost didn't believe any establishment was capable of having an average of 5 stars on google/yelp. But it totally makes sense now. They're just that good. Like seriously. * Oh btw I shed 20 lbs of body fat in the ~3 months since I started (not just overall weight, but -20 lbs of pure bodyfat, measured by dexa scans). and built a ton of muscle. and my Apple Watch shows big improvements in my resting heart rate + HRV. * Decades of bad sleep habits transformed overnight. Wasn't expecting this one at all, it's been one of my biggest challenges in life and I'd already thrown the kitchen sink at it. I could talk for hours about this one but I'll leave it at that. read more

Transform is amazing!!! I reached out to them looking for a program to get my elementary school aged son more fit. Becky responded right away and set up a consultation with Matt. Shelby has been training my son and he loves it. My son is not a team sport type of kid and the one on one personal training sessions are ideal for his needs. I have not only seen a physical improvement in my son, but also a positive mental attitude. I highly recommend Transform Fitness for anyone! read more

I had heard good things about this little gym for a long time. However, when Covid hit my gym closed and I found out TRANSFORM was open so I signed up that day. I have the most amazing trainer named Matt. He knows exactly how to motivate me and work my muscles. I have been seeing him aprox 4 times a week for the past 6 weeks and am seeing a huge improvement in the following areas: Endurance, stamina, strength and flexibility.I will certainly post a BE4 and AFTER photo as soon as I get to my desired goal. Nice comradely with the other trainers and clients in the boutique gym. read more

Results depend upon one's input. I've witnessed the results from my wife's input with Transform, over the years, and it has been life-changing. As a senior, and one familiar with the qualities of excellence in an exercise and training experience, I'm confident that with proper input on my part, having just begun work with Transform, I too will will reach my potential, as have so many others! read more

I've been working out with Sierra for a year now and can definitely say she pushes you to be your best. She's super knowledgable and has helped me become more accurate/realistic with my macro counting. She definitely cares about her clients and offers checkins and is always available via text if you have any questions! I'd also recommend Matt B. -- we started working out with him in the evenings and his workouts were always awesome, too! read more

I have had a great experience working with Alicia! She challenges me and guides me to get the results that I want. I would highly recommend!

I am so grateful to have found this gym. I have been exercising my whole life and seen very little growth. I have been training with Matt for 3 months and have never felt better. The knowledge he has of not only exercise but training, is incredible. He is very conscious and thoughtful in his communication as well as his direction. I have never felt more inspired to work out! read more

I started training with Alicia six months ago and it truly has changed my life!! She is so encouraging and helpful. Going to the gym used to be something that would make me nervous but Alicia has made it so I have something to look forward to. I have made so much progress and truly feel like I am the healthiest I have ever been. I truly could not recommend something more! If you are wanting to get in shape and enjoy every minute of it, Alicia is your girl!! read more

I cannot begin to explain the impact training at transform has had on my life already. Clean gym with top of the line equipment. Compared to other trainers it is very affordable considering you receive both nutritional coaching and personal training. As someone who grew up in athletics and being on a variety of eating plans, working with different trainers my body has gone through a large series of physical highs and lows at different points in my life. Before I had come in to see Matt and the team I was at my heaviest weight and most unhealthy point in my life. I am not finished with my transformation but can say after 2 months am down 28 lbs. Not only does Matt and the Transform team help with nutrition and exercise, they coach you on why each aspect is important and the direct impact it has on your body. Everyone is so inclusive and beyond supportive no matter what point of your journey you come in to visit them. The workouts are fun, challenging, and focused on YOU individually. Matt works around my previous injury's, helps me with areas of weakness and always has a new way to help me reach my goals. I have never had a trainer who takes the time to reach out during the week to hold me accountable when he knows I'm struggling or after a hard workout let me know how great I did and encourage me. The amount that this team cares about the people they train amazes me every single day. I can't even begin to express the impact it has made on my life, and I highly recommend to anyone looking to reach their goals. read more

The name says it ALL! If you are looking to take your physique to a place you've never been- if you are ready to finally see what you are capable of. This. Is. It!!!! Phenomenal, caring, knowledgeable, no gimmick trainers, in-house all-natural product line, no-nonsense instructions on what and how much to eat....I've spent years working hard, taking classes, sacrificing certain foods, using trainers at high profile clubs and NOTHING has yielded the results like Transform has done for me and my family the past 120 days. Here's to seeing what we can do in the next six months! read more

I can't rave enough about how KNOWLEDGEABLE and amazing Matt is! He was the first trainer I ever worked with and really helped me with creating a sustainable MACHINE that looks exactly how I want it to. The amount of love he pours into his work showed in my results. He checks in regularly, listens to you, and makes adjustments when/if necessary. I put 110% of my trust in him and it was the best decision I could have ever made for myself! You won't be disappointed truly! read more

Transform is exactly what this place should be named. Matt and his team will literally transform the way you look. The best part of it is that nothing is a diet. I still drink beer (probably too much), I still eat hamburgers, I still eat a ton of carbs. Yet, I have lost 20 pounds in 3 months, I have a chest, and defined muscles in my arms, and, for the first time in my life I can see my abs. My shoulders are not naturally slouched, but instead are square. Here's the thing, I am 51 and in the best shape of my life. EVERYONE can do this. All you have to do is listen to Matt. There are no drugs or enhancements or anything stupid. It is just plain knowledge that has given me the tools to sustain this for the rest of my life, easily. I owe Matt and the trainers at Transform a ton of gratitude. They are amazing. read more

I have been active in the gym for the past 5 years. I've tried various online and in person trainers. Sierra is the first trainer that I feel like really understands my goals. She's also great about correcting my form and keeping me motivated in the gym. Highly recommend training with her! read more

When you see so many great reviews, sometimes you might think it's too good to be true. Well, trying this gym for a month and a half myself, I became a believer, too. Due to my personal situation, I could only come here twice a week plus minimal cardio once a week if I find the time. Still, working with Shelby, I'm seeing the results faster than I expected. I already shed 5+ lbs. and noticed my flabs are shrinking. My routine is not at all a hard-core, boot camp type of exercise or a strict diet plan as she would adjust to my physical ability and goal. It is totally doable for a non-gym rat like me. I am so glad that I jumped in - with their help, I do feel I can transform into a healthier version of myself (and without giving up pizzas and sweets!). This is a great studio type of gym where you can expect full personal attention without any high pressure. Highly recommended. read more

I couldn't have asked for a better experience with a dietician/nutritionist. Having the educational background in dietetics coupled with his love for science, I knew this was someone I wanted to work with. Having high expectations, I was still blown away. He was extremely supportive, responsive, and validating that created the space for growth and change. With Matt's help, I achieved my goals physically but more importantly he helped heal my relationship with food, even helped unearth food triggers I didn't realize i was carrying around for 10+ years. Highly recommended read more

Awesome gym. Alicia is so knowledgeable and will help you get the results you are looking for!!!

Transform has been a great spot to work on my journey to improved health. Shelby has been great and very supportive in working with me and understanding my needs and keeping me on track! read more

Highly recommend the team at Transform. Knowledgeable on nutrition and they tailor workouts and routines to the person. My biggest issues is accountability and Matt's been keeping me on track. Seeing results in a short time! read more

Matt and his team have definitely Transformed me, not just my body but also my mindset about how to eat. I've learned more about how your body and food work together than I ever knew existed. And the best part is that it's not about starving yourself! I'm pumped to see where the next 3 months takes me as I already see a huge difference and I'll be in the best shape of my life in no time. Matt and his team don't put you on "diets", they teach you how to eat well while still being able to enjoy yourself. If you want to do it the right way then this is the place for you! read more

I have been going to this gym for almost a year. Matt Barker is an amazing trainer. I have had trainers my whole life but Matt makes it fun and tough at the same time.. the most important part is I am in the best shape of my life. I had to buy new jeans this past weekend!! If you need a trainer.. ask for Matt B. He sets goals, pushes you and holds you accountable!!!! read more

I have worded with Sierra with nutrition and I have to say she is absolutely amazing. her knowledge and understanding far exceeds my expectation. Sierra's knowledge of how the body works and has been so helpful to suggest exercises that will clearly support my goals. I highly recommend her and Transform to anyone. read more

Absolutely love the environment at Transform! Its fun and inviting unlike other gyms. I've been coming here for roughly two years and they are always flexible with scheduling and finding the right workout for me depending on the day/mood. Matt B is great and holds me accountable when it comes to my fitness goals! read more

Becky Hoodie is a fantastic trainer. She's extremely knowledgeable and she makes each workout count. She's been able to create big results with me over 90 days. I'm excited to see what the next 90 days bring! I love how Becky is conscientious, professional, knowledgeable and also fun, playful, and tough! I can't say enough good things about Becky and highly recommend her! Showing a before and after photo of my first 90 days! read more

I was stuck in a rut of gaining and losing. At 52 it was getting harder and harder to even maintain my weight doing the same things I'd always done. Matt not only educated me but motivated and cheered me on. Thanks to Matt and Transform Scottsdale I have lost more weight in the last few months than I have in more than 3 years of trying. I am stronger in body and mind and thankful for the invaluable help. read more

I have been going to Transform Scottsdale for a year now and i cannot say enough great things about it! I truly love the personalized, boutique style approach and the fun camaraderie amongst the clients and trainers. All of the trainers are fantastic! I work with Sierra three times a week and she is a true professional. She consistently pushes and motivates me to be better. I can see the passion and dedication that she brings to her craft. Sierra understands my fitness and nutritional goals and has developed a customized plan that works for me. Highly recommend this gym!!! read more

I've been working with Sierra at Transform for close to four months and I can confidently say that this is the best thing I've done for my health EVER. I wasn't overweight when I started but I was "soft" and unbalanced in my musculature. Sierra listened to my goals, offered her own perspective, and came up with a plan that was the perfect blend of nutrition and strength training. She checks in with me regularly about everything and is always available. I love working out in the clean, open gym space with few other people, and I like that they have a locker room area for changing and showering if needed. The packages make the pricing fair and competitive. I can already see results: I've dropped some pounds, leaned out noticeably, and built muscle. The best part, though, is that she corrected years of starvation dieting. I eat a healthy balanced diet now including bread and pasta and anything else I want. I have energy! Working with Transform has been, well, transformative! read more

Amanda is my trainer at Transform Scottsdale. I spend a lot of time working out, but never wanted to use a trainer because they always pressed me into working on things that were not a priority for me. Amanda listened to what I wanted and recommended a program that would help me meet my goals - which are a defined backside and defined legs. Of course just looking at Amanda is inspiration to work hard, and beyond that she makes workouts fun and comfortable. She also writes me a plan for the workout I do without her each week. Amanda is also helping me get my protein and other nutrition balanced to make my workouts more effective. I couldn't be happier that I have finally found someone after all these years that is perfect for helping me achieve something I have never been able to before! The other trainers and customers at Transform are also very nice and make me feel comfortable when I am at the gym. read more

I worked all my life and realize it was time to become more consistent and to push myself. I have had trainers past but Matt has been the best. He pushes you, changes it up so it's different every time so you can never get bored. And most of all he cares about his clients. He challenged me and I got to my fitness goals. He understands it's not just about working out but what we eat. He holds you accountable to both and makes it fun. If you are looking for a Trainer, I highly recommend Matt! read more

Rhianna has changed my life and helped me with a goal I have been trying to reach for over 10 years. I've tried many weight loss programs and fads and nothing ever worked for me until I started working with Rhianna at Transform Scottsdale. I am now a few pounds shy of being down 50 pounds in just over 3 months and am all around a difference person. I am much happier, more energy and the best shape I have been in in my entire life. The best part is just like Mike Jones says, Back then girls didn't want me now I'm hot they all on me! Thanks again Rhianna for everything and the team at Transform! read more

Whether it's losing fat, putting on muscle or fixing years of extreme dieting choices, Matt, Becky and the entire Transform team have been a game changer for me. At 50+ I'm stronger than ever and the diet is more dialed in despite a crazy-busy life. Thank you Transform! read more

Becky and Matt are my husband and my super hero's!!!!!!!! Before working with them I was having a hard time putting on muscle. Just tweaking my macros and ADDING IN MORE CARBS caused me to move from skinny fat to lean and cut!! I feel so confident with my macros and training now! My husband had gained tremendous muscle as well, you could say I am one happy wife!! Becky and Matt are probably the best trainers I have ever met and are macro geniuses; they have insight most trainers do not. We absolutely love you guys and are so thankful for how much time and energy you have put into our individual needs. Chloe read more

Matt Barker is great - my teenage son goes to him for personal training. He's friendly, supportive and flexible on scheduling. He's taught my son on how to safely navigate the weight room and gave him the confidence in his own personal health that he will carry with him for the rest of his life. read more

Summary: Matt and Transform Fitness are the real deal and have made a huge improvement in my life. TL;DR - about 2 years ago, events conspired to make me confront the reality that I was fat. Not chubby, portly or jolly...just fat. We're talking health-impacting, life-changing fat. And, if I didn't do something about it, someday it would be too late. So, I cobbled together a diet that was an Atkins/Paleo/Keto hybrid that I could use...and stuck to it. About 9 months ago, I purchased a Peloton bike and started getting some aerobic exercise in addition to my diet. Three months ago as I was approaching my target weight (about minus 100 from my peak) I felt pretty healthy, but my chest, shoulders and arms were shrunken - my wife said I looked old - loose skin and all. I started researching and came to the conclusion that I'd have to add some resistance training in order to get to where I wanted. I'd worked out with weights and on machines in my past, but understood that knowledge had progressed significantly over the past twenty years, so I decided to engage a personal trainer to get me re-started correctly, taking advantage of two decades' worth of fitness knowledge advancements. So, I read all the reviews I could and gave Transform Fitness a call. I don't know what I expected, but Matt answered the phone and took the time to answer my questions. He was friendly, informative and very positive. I made an appointment for a nutritional counselling session with him, where he explained his plan to help me meet my goals (lose fat, gain muscle). It was a real test of my faith when he told me that, to meet my goals, I'd have to re-introduce more carbs and limit fat in my diet - in addition to the training sessions. When I questioned his directions, Matt took the time to describe the science behind his recommendations and took the time to point me to various research papers that backed up his statements. One thing he asked me to do was an initial DEXA scan - that I could use as a "report card" on my progress. Imagine my surprise when I found out that, despite having a healthy BMI, my body fat registered at 30%! Evidently, despite riding 5X/wk and dieting, I was still fat...but skinny! So, I started. The first couple workouts were laughable. I could barely move the weights and tired out quickly. However, I stuck with the plan (diet, weights 3x/wk and aerobic exercises 4x/wk on my bike). Throughout the process, Matt was there explaining what we were doing, why, and showing me what constituted good form. And, I started to see some results. First, my workouts - I was able to increase the weight I was lifting. Second, my clothes started to fit a bit better. At the end of the first 30 days, I did another DEXA scan, and discovered that I'd lost 9 Lbs fat and gained 6 Lbs muscle! I realize that these crazy changes won't continue over time, but still...yay! I was a little worried about the re-introduction of carbs, so I had my Doc run a lipid panel - just to see what was going on behind the scenes. My cholesterol and triglycerides were all in a low-normal range! Initially, I'd insisted that Matt be my trainer but since I've been working out at Transform, I've discovered that the other trainers are just as good and are seeing excellent results with their customers. The environment at Transform is friendly and supportive, I've learned a LOT about new dietary information and workouts and, best yet, after about three months, I'm making huge strides towards my fitness goals. Will the same happen for you? I can't say. But for me, picking up the phone and calling Transform Fitness has been a game changer. read more
