The BEST gym in Tucson!
Extremely knowledgeable and experienced staff who regardless of your goals, Whether it’s weight loss, speed/mobility or strength related someone in the building is more than happy to help. Several unique specialty pieces of Equipment and A Lot of space to use it, I’ve never even had to wait for a rack, dL box or bench! One of my favorite spots, is the outdoor lifting area! An area originally created to STAY OPEN during pandemic closures has expanded and is here to stay!!!
From day one the owners Danny and Selma will tell you its a community and we are there to look

This is the *best* gym I have ever been to. Going to literally any other gym in Tucson would be an incredible disservice to yourself. From top to bottom the experience of being a member at Tucson strength is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had, and not just in fitness. The facilities at Tucson strength are incredible. High end equipment, cleanliness, and something for anyone in any point of their fitness journey. Every single trainer and employee at Tucson strength is highly knowledgeable and helpful. Every athlete is treated with the same respect and seriousness. I have never and I mean

Hands down the best gym I have belonged to. I have a home in Tucson and work in Baltimore, travel a lot and have never been able to find any other place that comes close to how awesome these trainers are. Danny and team are amazing teachers, dedicated to helping everyone regardless of age and ability. They are genuinely caring and helpful. I have a lot of knee issues and they worked with me from day 1 to modify movements and that made me get stronger and gain confidence. I highly recommend this gym and the experiences you will gain there.

Tucson Strength is the best! Always keeping the training going, putting the members first! Mental health is very important to many who workout. During this pandemic, we needed a place and Danny + team provided it. No smoke in mirrors here folks, just outstanding management, an abundance of equipment and constant innovation. I love the outdoor tents and the indoor space as well! I moved to Tucson recently and I enjoy calling it home.

I hate going to ordinary and big box gyms. But I really like this place. Clean, pleasant, not full of meat heads and Barbies, just a bunch of folks who care about being and getting strong. The staff is professional and extremely knowledgeable, and work to bring a sense of fun to the gym. They can help you rehab an injury, or even come back from a 3-month hospital stay (my wife), with a workout routine customized to you and your needs and abilities. A lot of other gyms left me feeling like an outsider or weakling, but I've never experienced that at Tucson Stremgth. Both the staff and the other

Tucson Strength is the best gym in Tucson for everyone, including someone like myself with previous injuries/chronic back issues. After starting with the "4 weeks to a healthier back" program and continuing with the Original Strength program to where I am now, there is a world of difference. The price is well worth the results! Even though I was only going for one type of group class, the entire staff made me feel welcome from the start.

I have been attending Tucson Strength for just about 4 years. I began with the Strong and Healthy Woman program. I found out I really enjoy kettlebells and general weight lifting.
The staff are what make this place special. The focus is on making sure you know the proper way to do an exercise so you don't get injured. And, they re-fresh you on technique on a regular basis.
I love my gym and the folks there. Great place

I've been going to Tucson Strength for about two months now, and i can't recommend it highly enough. The staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly. The facilities are spotless and offer all kinds of equipment. They have anything you would need for powerlifting, olympic lifting, or any other general fitness interests. The other members of the gym are friendly and it's a welcome departure from the culture of many other gyms. The owner, Danny, is very helpful as well, and helped me fix some bad habits from being self-taught. All in all, I would recommend Tucson Strength to anyone who

If you're looking for a gym where you can come in and get a good training session in with out a hassle this is your place. Everyone is friendly and helpful! A great community of liked minded people that want to work on personal goals of health, strength and overall fitness awareness. Highly recommended as a home gym or as a gym to train at while in the city of Tucson!

I cannot say enough about my home away from home. Danny and his team are amazing. They are my extended family. I began my training in the Strong and Healthy Woman's program with a colleague of mine over 5 years ago. I had no formal gym knowledge and knew nothing about kettlebells. That didn't matter. Everyone took the time, and with great patience, to help me learn and become stronger. After a year or so with the Strong and Healthy Woman's Program I moved over to the Barbell Club. I've never looked back. The Barbell club has helped me achieve strength goals I never thought

I participated in the Strong & Healthy woman program way back in January of 2014. The experience was great, but circumstances led me a way from Evolution after the series ended.
Fast forward to yesterday evening. I stopped in to inquire about the structure of the six-week special that they're currently running, and I was greeted by name by one of the trainers. The fact that Jesus remembered my name after all this time was seriously impressive and a shining example of how the Evolution Family, rolls.

After finishing the strong and healthy women's program I signed on and paid in full for six months to avoid any possible billing issues after my contract ended.
....
The selling point for me was the fact that two female trainers taught the program. However, after i signed on classes were being merged, never knew what trainer was going to be there, and severely crowded. Several classes are run at the same time but there just isn't enough room. You are quite literally on top of each other or crammed in a corner with equipment. I talked to the trainers to ask if they can teach the classes

I have been going to Evolution for several years to be trained by Serg Giardini, who is a great personal trainer without using the gym for anything else. Well, that changed in June. The owner, Danny, started offering intro courses to learn indoor rowing. I am hooked! And because of that, I have been around the gym more and had a chance to see how everyone is a village there. I just love the atmosphere at Evolution. Everyone is helpful, from Genevieve at the front desk to Steve, Jesus, Kelsey, and Danny. Gail has been a big supporter with my rowing too. Just terrific.

So, I signed a six month contract after trying their Strong and Healthy Woman program. I liked the program, but it definitely got old after a while. Some of the trainers are personable, some are not, so your mileage may vary although all seem well-trained.
However, beware that your contract does not expire at the end of the term; they simply start charging you the month-to-month rate unless you remember that you have to give them thirty days written notice. They decline to give you a call when you stop coming; they just keep charging you an expensive rate for services that you aren't using

My first review here was 2 1/2 years ago. Since then, Evolution Tucson has grown by leaps and bounds. They've moved to a new, larger location, added trainers, programming and have improved from an already fantastic gym. This is where people go to get strong. This isn't your cheap big box gym. All the classes are taught by knowledgable, certified, and caring trainers.
I just moved to Las Vegas and I'm VERY upset to be losing my gym. There's just no replacement for Danny Sawaya and his staff.
