Working out with a partner changes everything. Couples who train together are more consistent, push each other further, and tend to stick with it longer than people going it alone. There's accountability built into the structure — when someone is counting on you to show up, you show up.
Anytime Fitness Ahwatukee has membership options for couples and partners who want to train together, train separately, or some mix of both. Both partners get their own key fob, full 24/7 access, and access to Justin's personal training services. And both partners can start with a free 7-day trial — no credit card, no commitment — to see if this is the right gym before signing up for anything.

The research is clear: people who exercise with a partner are more consistent and work harder than people who train alone. But beyond the science, couples who train together often point to something more personal — it becomes shared time, shared progress, and a health-focused activity that actually strengthens the relationship.
The hardest part of a fitness routine is not the workout itself — it's showing up when you don't feel like it. When your partner is going, it's much harder to talk yourself out of it. You hold each other to the standard, and that consistency is what produces real results over time.
Couples who set fitness goals together — "we want to be in better shape for hiking season," "we want to lose 20 pounds between us by summer," "we want to lower our cholesterol numbers together" — have a built-in reason to check in with each other. Progress feels more meaningful when someone else is on the same journey.
Date night at the gym isn't everyone's first idea of romance, but couples who train together routinely report that it adds a positive, energizing dynamic to their relationship. You're doing something hard together, you're celebrating each other's improvements, and you're investing in a longer, healthier life as a pair.
One of the things that kills couples' gym plans before they start is the scheduling problem. One partner works early, the other works late. One has evening commitments, the other is a morning person. You end up waiting for schedules to align, they never quite do, and neither of you goes.
Because Anytime Fitness Ahwatukee is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year with individual key fob access, your schedules don't have to match. Go together when you can. Go separately when you can't. Both approaches work, and both partners have full, independent access to the gym any time they want.
Want to go at 5:45am before the kids wake up? Go. Want to hit it at 8pm after dinner? Go. The gym doesn't care what time it is, and you're not dependent on a partner's schedule to get there.
Justin — 15+ years of training experience, kinesiology and biomechanics background, sports nutrition certified — can work with couples in a few different ways. Some couples train together with Justin in joint sessions, working toward shared goals with a unified program. Others have different enough goals that they each work with Justin independently and on different programs.
He's equally comfortable building one cohesive program for two people training together as he is designing completely different programs for partners with different starting points and objectives. Talk to him about what makes sense for your situation.
No — each person needs their own membership and key fob for 24/7 access and for security purposes. However, two-person membership options are available that cover both partners, and both partners can trial free for 7 days before committing to anything.
Call us at (480) 900-1616 to ask about current pricing for two-person memberships. Rates and available promotions can vary, and it's worth a quick conversation to find out what's available.
Yes. Justin regularly works with couples or training partners in joint sessions. If you and your partner have similar goals, a shared session can be a great way to train together with professional guidance. If your goals are very different, individual sessions may serve you better — it depends on where you both are.
That's completely fine and actually very common. Justin builds programs around individual goals. One partner can be working on fat loss while the other focuses on building strength. You share a gym and the accountability of going together, but your programs are built around what each of you needs.
Bring your partner in for a free 7-day trial. No credit card, no commitment for either of you. Come by during staffed hours — Monday–Thursday 9am–7pm, Friday 9am–5pm, Saturday 9am–1pm — and we'll get you both set up. Call (480) 900-1616 or stop by at 4855 E Warner Rd, Suite 24-28, Phoenix, AZ 85044 in the Basha's shopping center.
