I came here considering getting a membership and asked for a one-day pass to try the gym first, but they charge for it. Many good gyms in town offer free passes and respect potential customers by letting them try the gym before committing. It’s hard to compete with those gyms if you charge people just to see if they like the place.
Response from the owner:We offer a $20 day pass. If you sign up for the gym we happily credit the $20 towards a membership. We keep members as a priority instead of offering free to everyone else. I find it interesting that you don't get something for "free" and then give a business a 1 star review because you didn't get what was never promised.

I started training at Tucson Strength with coach Anthony in December and I’m so much stronger and more flexible than ever. The staff here is so kind, talented and passionate as well as professional. There’s a friendly community feel here and the space is amazing. I’m grateful to have this place in the neighborhood.

I love this gym. After coming from another powerlifting/bodybuilding oriented gym in town, I wish I had just immediately gotten a membership here instead. The staff is so sweet, everything is very clean, and the owner even took the time to introduce himself to my husband and I when we were winding down on the treadmill after a workout. They’ve even went so far as to stock the ladies room with things that we definitely find we need sometimes like ponytail holders, Bobby pins, hair clips, hygiene products-it’s really so thoughtful. They’ve even other members are great too, it’s such a positive atmosphere. If you’re looking for a great gym with great equipment and an awesome staff, this is your place.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much. So gladyou are with us.

I started made the switch to Tucson Strength to take my powerlifting training to the next level and I haven’t been left down yet. They have every machine you would ever need and more. And they are also equipped with an amazing community with trainers that are very well versed in specific disciplines that you wouldn’t find anywhere else!
Response from the owner:Thank you my friend. Greatly appreciate you.

Very strange experience, lady at front desk with blue jacket and red hair , originally charged me for a day pass when I told her I have a free day pass, I had to show her my email or else I would have paid for nothing. She also didn’t have me sign a waiver until 15 minutes after I started my workout. Nice environment with a few friendly people some of the equipment is outdated- mid grade/mediocre and subpar. Friendly environment . Don’t expect a life changing experience because it is a local gym. Looks completely different than advertised on social media!!! But at least she apologized for the mistake on her end.
Response from the owner:Christopher Hawkins interesting review.It’s important to clarify a few things.
You mentioned being irritated that an employee made a mistake — even though they immediately acknowledged it, apologized, and corrected it. We expect our team to own errors and fix them quickly. That’s exactly what happened. My staff also reported to me that. you were acting very suspicously in the gym and they were going to approach you because you were leaving all your weights on the machines.
Regarding the equipment being described as “mediocre,” Our equipment was intentionally selected. Many of the pieces you’re referring to are classic, time-tested machines that serious lifters actively seek out and are worth more than new pieces sold today. They were chosen over newer commercial-grade options specifically because they perform better, and offer superior training experience. New does not automatically mean better — and in strength training, it often means the opposite.
Our facility is built for people who value substance over flash. If someone prefers shiny, trend-driven equipment, there are plenty of options for that. We stand by our choices and the environment we’ve created.

I was visiting Tucson and ended up picking this spot for a few gym sessions while I was in town and I am so glad I did. The people who work there are great and the place was exactly what I was looking for. Great machines and equipment, relaxed atmosphere, and had a fun community vibe. When people would leave the person working there would tell them by and knew their name . 10 / 10
Response from the owner:Thank you Michael. We appreciate the review. We really love our community

Tucson Strength is the best gym I have ever trained at. They have done a masterful job of choosing machines and equipment that will give you the results you are looking for. The staff is professional and welcoming, and the facility is clean and well maintained.
The people that choose to workout at Tucson Strength simply want to train to better themselves. There is no judgement on where you are at in your health and well being journey, and there is encouragement along that way.
I would highly recommend checking this place out before the "big box" gyms.

I stopped in while in town over Christmas and glad that I did! Tucson Strength combines powerlifting, bodybuilding, functional and Olympic lifting flawlessly. They have an incredible outdoor area that’s covered with more equipment and the staff was incredible. I had the chance to talk with the owner a little and you can tell when someone is passionate about their facility and genuinely interested in expansion and always making it better.
Incredible facility and can’t wait to visit next time im in town!

Not going to lie, I can get a little emotional thinking about this gym. When I showed up I was a proper mess: out of shape, badly injured, and burned out.
Now, a year later, I'm probably in the best shape of my life at 45. Steve's classes were an absolute game changer for me. Not only did I recover but I'm on a path for strength I thought had long passed me by. 100% I couldn't have done this without him.
When people say this gym is special they aren't kidding. I don't know how Danny did what he did, but the training and community here are truly stellar.

I’m going into my 5th week of personal training with Sam. This is my first time of training and I would recommend to anyone who needs a fresh start, hasn’t been working out, is a senior, or just needs that boost to get fit. I plan on continuing my personal fitness and joining the gym after my 6th week of personal training with Sam. Great place to join.
Response from the owner:Thank you Kim!!

Sleds (multiple), rings (multiple), stall bars if you can believe it, and every other tool you could come up with. If you want muscle to use instead of just carry around, I'd argue they're the only game in town. Plus Danny and his wife are the bee's knees.
Response from the owner:You are awesome Sean. Appreciate it.

I was a member from June 2023 until June 2025 when I moved out of Arizona. Hands down the best gym in Tucson and one of the best gyms I've been to, period. Besides having everything you could possibly need in the gym, the staff and other members are extremely kind and welcoming.

I have been coming to this gym for over 6 years now and I can honestly say I will never leave. The community that Danny has built and people he has in is corner make coming to the gym more than just working out. Catching up with friends, random conversations with new people, helping one another, pushing each other to be better. I could not of asked for a better gym to stumble upon. Every day Danny works to get better quality equipment and amenities, creating the best possible training environment for all types and sizes. I recommend this place to everyone 11/10 times and that will never change. I love Tucson Strength and everything that comes with it.
Response from the owner:Thank you my friend. Much appreciated. Grateful for you.

Tucson Strength is the best gym in Tucson. I’m greeted by name every time I walk in and the community is second to none. A few of my friends even drive across town just to train here because it is worth it. It is a true powerlifting gym with top-tier equipment, but there is also everything you need for hypertrophy and muscle building. The membership costs more than a big-box gym, but it is absolutely worth it for the quality, atmosphere, and results.
Response from the owner:Appreciate the review Kyle. Thank you

I used a day pass while I was visiting town and had a great experience. The owner and staff were friendly and welcoming and the energy was great. The members were friendly and the gym was buzzing with people supporting each other, joking around, and having an overall great time. They have a wide range of high quality, excellently maintained equipment, a ton of platforms and racks, a functional training area, an outdoor area and cardio machines.
Tucson Strength is a great gym!

I visited Tucson Strength a few weeks ago while in Tucson, and if you're ever there, it's worth checking out! It's a very home-y feeling, everyone working there is very kind and hospitable. They have plenty of equipment, especially for Powerlifting and Olympic lifting as well. Danny, the owner, was very welcoming to us, and made sure to approve us in person while we were there. I'd definitely come back!!

Best gym I’ve dropped into in Tucson for weightlifting/functional fitness. Tons of racks, dumbbells, machines and turf. Also has an outdoor section. While it has a few assault bikes, rowers and treadmills, probably not the spot for you if you’re looking to hit an elliptical. People of all ages, extremely welcoming and no lines for anything when I went at 4pm on a Monday. Only negative thing I can think of is limited hours for those looking to drop in.
Response from the owner:Thank you!

Great Gym! Visited while in town on a guest pass. They offer use of the gym if you buy a T-Shirt or you can also purchase a day pass. They have a nice selection of apparel to choose from. This Gym has everything you need for powerlifting, body building and overall fitness. Staff is friendly and the facility is updated and maintained. Great selection of racks, machines, indoor, and outdoor options. Locals are lucky to have such a quality gym. Strongly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the review. Thank your for visiting!!
