For Student Athletes at Desert Vista
High school athletes who supplement their school training with gym work gain a real competitive edge. The issue is that most gyms near Ahwatukee are either too far away (requiring a 20-minute drive to Tempe or Chandler) or are boutique studios that do not have the equipment for serious strength training.
Anytime Fitness Ahwatukee solves both problems. The location is 5 minutes from DVHS, and the facility has everything a student athlete needs:
- Squat racks and Olympic barbells for building foundational strength
- 1,200 sq ft turf area for agility work, plyometrics, and sport-specific drills
- Full cable station for rotational training, shoulder stability, and rehab exercises
- Free weights up to 100 lbs for progressive overload training
- Cardio equipment for conditioning and recovery days
Justin works with students on programs tailored to their sport and season. Off-season strength building, in-season maintenance, pre-season conditioning, and injury recovery all require different approaches. He adjusts programming based on the school schedule, game days, and how the athlete responds over time.
For Parents of Desert Vista Students
If you are already driving to DVHS multiple times a week for practices, games, and events, Anytime Fitness Ahwatukee turns that driving time into your own fitness time. Instead of sitting in the car or running errands you do not need, you can get a workout in while your student is at school.
The Practice Drop-Off Workout
Drop off at DVHS. Drive 5 minutes to the gym. Get 45-60 minutes of training in. Drive back for pickup. Many parents of DVHS students already do this, and the timing lines up perfectly with most practice schedules (2-3 hours). You are not adding a separate trip to the gym into your day. You are using time you would otherwise spend waiting.
Family Memberships
Parents and students can both have memberships with separate key fobs. Your student can train independently during their schedule, and you train during yours. At $19.99 bi-weekly per person, the cost of two memberships is still less than one month at most boutique studios. Call (480) 900-1616 for family pricing.
