Lakewood is one of Ahwatukee's most beloved sub-neighborhoods, known for its serene lakes, mature landscaping, and tight-knit residential feel. And it's one of the most convenient spots in all of Ahwatukee to have Anytime Fitness as your gym — we're just 5 to 10 minutes from Lakewood at 4855 E Warner Rd and 48th St.
If you commute along Warner Rd, you've likely driven right past us. The Basha's shopping center is one of the area's anchor destinations, and we're right there in Suite 24-28, next to Philly's. Once you have a key fob, you'll wonder why it took you this long to stop in.
Lakewood is a well-established Ahwatukee community with a distinctive character — the kind of neighborhood where people walk in the evenings, know their neighbors, and take pride in where they live. The lakes that give the area its name create a peaceful backdrop that's unusual for the desert Southwest, and the mature tree canopy along many streets adds to the feeling of a place that's been cared for over time.
The community skews toward families and working professionals who value convenience, quality, and a certain level of personal connection with the businesses they patronize. That's exactly what Anytime Fitness Ahwatukee offers. Owner JB opened this gym in May 2023 with the idea that a small, locally run fitness center serves people better than a massive corporate chain. Lakewood members seem to agree — we have a strong contingent from this neighborhood, and they tend to stick around.
Many Lakewood residents pass the gym on their way to Basha's or Philly's anyway. Adding a workout to a trip you're already making makes the most sense when your gym is this close.
The drive is straightforward from anywhere in Lakewood:
Free parking is easy to find in the Basha's lot. Look for the Philly's restaurant and the Basha's grocery store sign — we're right next door in the same strip.
Lakewood residents tend to be discerning. They've chosen a particular neighborhood for a reason, and they bring that same care to other decisions — including where they work out. Here's what resonates with members from this community:
