ABOUT US
Thank you for visiting Tucson Strength (formerly Evolution Fitness Systems). We are a training facility offering group training, one-on-one personal training, and open gym. We specialize in helping people move better and become more conditioned. Members of our staff hold national personal training certifications and specialty certifications in kettlebell training, mobility, endurance training, rowing, and corrective exercise.
In our view, personal trainers are more than just motivators (really anyone can be a cheerleader). More importantly, a trainer is an educator, a professional in human movement. Many trainers now a days watch a YouTube Video of how to do a cool new workout and pass it on to clients without any understanding of how that workout will specifically affect that person.
Anyone can set up a workout that will make you sore. Exercise is more than just sweat and soreness. We develop thoughtful programs varying from one-on-one training to small group training to programming, so whether your goal is weight loss, corrective exercise, calasthenics, high intensity training, weightlifting or powerlifting we offer a program that will help you achieve your goals. Our training philosophy focuses first on proper movement patterns and then building intensity and strength on a healthy foundation.

Having a general CPT is the minimum for Joe, he is currently working on his Nutrition, Strength and Conditioning, and Corrective Exercise certifications. When Joe is not in the gym, he is playing club basketball, frisbee golf, golf, soccer, swimming, hiking, or doing anything that get him moving!

Fast Forward to today: Anthony’s practice and teaching have expanded through education with Functional Range Systems as well as the Ido Portal Method giving him credentials and experience as a mobility specialist and movement coach. These past experiences combined with his recent passion for strength training and calisthenics enables Anthony to offer a holistic approach to physical development.

“I have worked with both small group and 1:1 clients in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, while living on the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands (self-run business), and most recently here in southern Arizona at Tucson Strength. I am most passionate about strength training and have been competing as a raw powerlifter since 2016.
I aspire next to become a certified powerlifting coach and referee. In my experience as a trainer and nutrition coach thus far, I have confirmed that it’s never too late (or too early) to start developing physical, mental, and emotional strength through focused, intentional work in and outside of the gym. Nothing brings me more joy than clients reporting back to me with how much easier tasks of daily living have become as result of their dedication to training and proper recovery.”
