Exercise and getting/staying in good shape is so unbelievably fun at Block. All the coaches are so knowledgeable and motivating. I was fortunate enough to continue exercising fairly rigorously through my pregnancy. Near the very end, when I was pretty large and getting ready to pop, all the coaches gave me modifications that I could do and still get the most out of the workout. The amount of support they provide is incredible. Block is truly the best gym I’ve ever been to.

BLOCK is an amazing space to transform your body and connect with other individuals who are also seeking to live a healthier lifestyle. The Coaches are knowledgeable, great at explaining what is needed, and invested in each person’s journey. I used to hate working out and avoided all the “meat market” gyms. Now I love working out and pushing myself to see what I’m capable of without any pressure from others. I highly recommend BLOCK Fitness!

I have been part of The Block Collective since it opened. I was excited to find a personal trainer who could design a strength and conditioning program that worked for me and my needs. Joseph Hawthorne and his team provide an atmosphere that combines fun with fitness and wellness. For the imperfect, this is the perfect place!

Block Fitness has been a game changer for me since I started in April, 2021. The trainers are super supportive and are there to correct your form if you need it. Block changes their workouts frequent enough (monthly) to keep it fresh and the classes are small enough to get the attention you need. You're treated like a member of the Block family from day one, not like a number when you scan in elsewhere.

What is cool about this gym is that all the coaches have their own unique way of teaching so you can find one that fits your personality and inspires you to be your best. But the best thing about Block are the members who truly become your friends. Everyone knows each other and is supportive and fun!

Highly professional trainers, who have my best interests in all their actions. They answer all my (many, many) questions and tailor my sessions to help me achieve my goals. Great quality interactions every visit, wonderful variety of training and yoga options throughout the week. Thank you, Joseph and Team!

Block Fitness is an amazing place to work out. I've been going for almost six months. I feel like I am in the best shape of my life. Working with Joseph and Caroline is a positive and motivating experience. I feel challenged, but at the same time the I am given help to deal with some pre-existing issues (bad knees). I legitimately had not worked out regularly in years, and during the time I have gone I actually am getting to be in pretty good shape. I've never felt an intimidating or judgey vibe at all. The community of members there is amazing. I always laugh and leave feeling more energized

Joseph is like none other in the business!
Professional, knowledgeable, fun, caring, kind and someone to look up to. He represents what he preaches!
He has great workouts each month, an app to track your progress in his group strength training program and gives regularly to local charities.
I am so glad my friend brought me to check out his program because I've found a great place to not only workout, but meet a new group of friends.
Check Block Fitness out, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I highly recommend Block Fitness! Joseph and the trainers takes the extra time to get to know what my goals are and work with any body issues. I came to Block Fitness after I injured my back. My Chiropractor recommended Joseph and I am glad I took his advise. I know I get a great customized work out for me but never so sore I hate moving the next day. Its been a great fit! Check them out if you are looking to be in better shape, or to overcome an injury. All the trainers are supportive and know what they are talking about. I am more toned, my clothes fit much better, lost some lbs and no issues

This gym is a special place. Not only is Joseph a talented trainer, he's able to bring out the best in people on a number of levels, making the Block a place where you'll meet your fitness goals and have a good time doing it. I'm stronger in my early 40s than I was in my early 20s, and Joseph helped me work through a shoulder issue that has bugged me for decades. Highly recommended if your looking for a strong, fun fitness community and world-class trainer!

Joseph and Caroline are the best trainers in Tucson period. Their knowledge of movement and understanding of mobility is unrivaled in this town. They helped me safely recover after a shoulder injury and am now back to feeling better than I ever have. The gym is immaculate and their attention to safety and sanitation during these challenging times makes working out there a pleasure. The humble friendly atmosphere inside the gym is a refreshing break from the typically ego fueled big box gyms. They have built an amazing community of kind, supportive clientele from all walks of life. All of whom I

I chose Block Fitness, because I wanted to add weights to my fitness regimen that already included barre and yoga. Joseph's conditioning and strength workouts proved to be the perfect addition. In addition to the workouts, I enjoy the community of women who show up at 5 AM to get it done! Joseph's playlist keeps me motivated throughout the hour, and his daily quote inspires me through my day. This gym is an Oro Valley gem!
