Whether you are joining a gym for the first time in your life or switching from another gym in Ahwatukee, here is exactly what will happen when you walk through the door.
Step-by-Step: Your First Visit
1Walk in during staffed hours
Head to 4855 E Warner Rd Suite 24-28 in the Basha's parking lot at Warner and 48th Street, next to Philly's restaurant. Free parking is available right outside the door. Come during staffed hours (Mon 9:15a-5:15p, Tue 8:30a-4:30p, Wed 9a-2p, Thu 11a-4p, Fri 10a-4p, Sat 9a-1:30p). No appointment necessary. You can also call (480) 900-1616 ahead of time if you have questions before stopping by.
2Meet JB or Justin
When you walk in, you will be greeted by JB (the owner) or Justin (our NASM-certified personal trainer with 15+ years of experience). They will introduce themselves, ask a bit about your fitness background, and find out what you are hoping to accomplish. This is a relaxed conversation. JB opened this gym because Ahwatukee needed a real neighborhood gym, and he makes a point of personally welcoming every visitor.
3Tour the facility
JB or Justin will walk you through the entire 5,500 square foot gym. You will see the cardio area with commercial-grade machines, the free weight section, squat racks, full cable station, and the 1,200 square foot turf training area for functional work. They will also show you the tanning beds, HydroMassage, and how the key fob system works for 24/7 access. All equipment was installed new in May 2023.
4Try the equipment
You are welcome to hop on any machine, pick up any weight, or test any piece of equipment during your visit. Justin can demonstrate proper form on anything you are unfamiliar with. There is absolutely no expectation that you complete a full workout on day one, but if you want to, go for it.
5Discuss your fitness goals
After you have seen the space, JB or Justin will sit down with you to talk about your goals. Want to lose weight? Build strength? Improve mobility? Train for a specific event? They will explain how the gym fits your needs and whether personal training sessions with Justin would be a good fit. If you are brand new to fitness, they will help you figure out a starting point that makes sense.
6Sign up or start your free 7-day trial
You have two options: join on the spot with a membership starting at $19.99 bi-weekly, or take advantage of the free 7-day trial with no credit card required. The trial gives you full access to every piece of equipment and every amenity for a full week. Most people who try the trial end up joining because they realize this gym is different from the big chains. Either way, there is zero pressure.
What Makes the First Visit Different Here
If you have visited other gyms in Ahwatukee, you have probably experienced the standard gym sales routine: a high-pressure walk-through designed to get you to sign a contract before you leave. That is not how we operate.
- No sales team. JB is the owner. Justin is the trainer. There is no commission-based sales staff trying to close you.
- No pressure to decide today. The 7-day trial exists so you can actually use the gym before committing a dollar.
- No hidden costs. Memberships start at $19.99 bi-weekly. Tanning is included. There is no enrollment fee after the trial. What you see is what you get.
- Locally owned, not corporate. JB lives in the community and runs this gym himself. Decisions are made right here, not at a corporate headquarters in another state.
What to Bring on Your First Visit
- Photo ID. Required for check-in and to set up your trial or membership.
- Water bottle. We have water fountains on site, but your own bottle is convenient.
- Athletic shoes and workout clothes. If you plan to try the equipment, wear comfortable athletic clothing and closed-toe shoes. Standard gym attire is fine.
- Nothing else. No credit card is needed for the 7-day trial. No paperwork to fill out in advance. Just show up.
Staffed Hours and 24/7 Access
For your first visit, come during staffed hours so JB or Justin can give you the full tour:

- Friday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Saturday: 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM
