Huge thank you to Rich and all of the wonderful folks at Liberty Performance Training for being so gracious! I was working in the Phoenix area this week and dropped in a few evenings to get my programming done. I train Strong(wo)man and they have plenty of toys to accommodate plus Powerlifting and Oly lifting equipment. HIGHLY recommend this gym to anyone looking for a welcoming community and solid place to train. Can’t wait to come back!
This is a phenomenal gym with a huge selection of equipment for strength sports, including special powerlifting and strongmen stuff that I don’t see at many other gyms. They were very accommodating and welcoming when I came from out of state and needed somewhere to train. If I am back in PHX I will return! 10/10
We dropped in to Liberty Performance while on a business trip because of the great reviews and personal experiences from members at our home gym in Colorado. They have all of the strongman equipment that you need to continue following your programming when you are on the road, as well as all of the equipment for Olympic lifting. To top it off we had a small world moment with Jon. If you are looking for a place to start your gym journey and try new events, take it from a seasoned lifter--check out Liberty, whether you live in town or visit from out of state!
I cannot recommend this gym enough. I started training consistently with Sara at the end of 2020 and not only do I feel like I’m in the best shape I’ve been in for a long time but I feel like Liberty Performance is a second home. With Sara as my coach I also receive advice and help from all the other coaches because Liberty Performance isn’t just a place to workout; it’s a gym that’s a community and everyone is there to cheer you on and help you do better and succeed. This gym also offers group training classes that are fun, challenging and a great opportunity to meet new people. If you’re tired of being inactive or want to get stronger with actual results come to Liberty Performance; come and put in the work and you will not be disappointed.
You won’t find a gym like this anywhere In the country. The whole gym is like a family with everyone supporting you to accomplish your goals. Great members, great equipment, great atmosphere.
THE place to go to optimize physical and mental strength.
Very friendly and welcoming environment. Clean and organized. People there are always willing to help and cheer you on. Highly recommend going here!
I was in town for work, got in a lift. This place has great and is perfect for any strength athlete! I have friends who train here and they love it. Thanks guys!
Rich and every coach at this place are above top notch. The other gym members are top notch as well. If you want a place with great equipment, awesome atmosphere, legit prices, and priceless training advice and training partners this is the place to go in Phoenix no matter your goals or starting point.
I dropped in for 10 days while on vacation and trained on their oly platforms. Great space/equipment and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Would love to come back again the next time Im in town!
Dropped in for a day on vacation here at Liberty and it was a great place to train! They had a clean environment, plenty of equipment and a great powerlifting atmosphere to train to. I would recommend this gym to anyone in the valley!
Some of the strongest people in the Valley, but most importantly, some of the best people. Liberty isn’t just a gym. The tight knit group becomes a family.
My Fiancé and I were in town for work and we were looking for a good gym to drop in. I train strongman and she trains olympic lifts. Liberty had all the gear we could need and was a great place to hop in and keep my programing on track.Everyone was friendly and the drop in rate was great. Definately coming back whenever were in town again.
We came into town for a weekend trip and they were incredibly welcoming. Awesome local gym!
I cant recommend Liberty Performance Training enough! If youre looking for a super sweaty, never boring workout, fantastic instructors, a clean environment, and an amazing group of fellow workout partners, this is the place for you!
Wow! Great people, great equipment, awesome place to train while visiting Phoenix!! 10/10 recommend!
I have been a member at Liberty for about 8 months now and I love this place. The owner actually cares about the people and the community ❤️ which is really important as a small local gym, & everyone is very friendly and welcoming.
Liberty has quickly become my favorite place I have ever trained. Everyone there, staff and members alike, is extremely welcoming and encouraging and Jon has been a great trainer to introduce me into the world of Strongman. They are open 24 hrs which makes it a perfect place for someone who needs a flexible schedule. The equipment is in great condition and there is an abundance of strongman implements to train with. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a gym to call home.
There is so much to say about this place, but it would not be enough. In the few months that Ive been training at Liberty, this is by far the best gym that Ive been a member of. Totally worth the 30 minute drive!From the moment I walked in and met with Jon, I felt super comfortable and knew this was the place to achieve my goals,The coaches are very knowledgeable. The equipment is great for strongman competitors, powerlifters and just your average gym goer. They have a lot of special equipment you wont find at many other gyms including: atlas stones, yokes, tires and log press. Basically, all the fun toys!!
Great equipment set up, very clean facility with a super friendly community. I love having a more private gym experience, it’s worth every penny not to have to fight for equipment. The energy is very focused, making it easier to drop-in to the zone when lifting without distractions. Training with Sara, one of their personal trainers, has literally changed my life and body for the better!
Great powerlifting/strongman spot, plenty of turf for carries and other non conventional strength training. Great staff, couldn’t recommend this place more!Thanks for letting us drop in, Rich!
Liberty performance was not only clean and organized but also had all the strength equipment I needed for training. Awesome atmosphere to get my training sessions in while I was on vacation.
Liberty is a great local gym. Liberty is more than just bars and weights, its a community. I found this community on Yelp when I was at my lowest point and needed to get back into gear and it was the right place at the right time. Rich is a genuine caring owner and trainer, and his staff follow suit. The equipment available covers nearly every need Ive had while training and was available 24/7. Ive always been proud to support a fellow ASU alum and I would always recommend this place to a friend.
Really awesome gym with great equipment! They have a kabuki transformer bar, if you know, you know. Great for powerlifting, strongman and oly lifting. The turf area is so nice, this is what dreams are made of! The owner Rich is super dope. Wish we lived in Phoenix so we could make this out home gym. Thanks for the drop in!
I have been going to Strongman Sunday’s with Roy for over a year now (with a COVID break) and just started training mornings with Sara. Everyone at Liberty is so great to work with and infinitely supportive. Taking my first strongman class as a woman was daunting but as soon as I walked in Roy got me started on some mobility work then cheered me on as I did my first log press! Sara is so encouraging and can now let me know with a look when I have laid limply on the floor for too long between sets. Love the Liberty crew and all of the amazing folks who workout there!
Liberty has been the only gym I considered home. The family vibe is strong and supportive. Rich will go out of his way to make sure you have everything you need to succeed and reach your goals. Hes gone above and beyond in every possible way, even creating a specifically built home program based on my needs and equipment while in another state. I cant recommend this facility or its staff more.
Love training at Liberty. Awesome place to train. If youre looking to get in shape, this is the place to be. Highly Recommended
Great place to go and get some strongman training done! Nice layout and good space to do event training
It’s been a while since we been to a gym that has been welcoming and supportive and Liberty did just that. We joined a few months ago and have made many new friends and grew stronger physically and mentally. It is a great facility with amazing people.
Awesome environment! May look like a Small gym but it has everything you need to get it done. Oh and the personal Training is right on point, experienced, open and honest. I have been to several Gyms and Clubs, this one truly has the experience and staff behind it. thank you!
Went in to prepare for my very first strongman competition and let me tell you, I this is the place to be. Not only is there all sorts of equipment, but its all quality stuff. Also everyone there is really nice, friendly, and and super supportive especially for those just starting out. Definitely worth anyone checking out!
Intelligent community of fitness and performance experts that take ownership and pride in helping clients accomplish their goals. This gym is down-to-earth and a fun, welcoming place for all levels. If you’re sick of commercial gyms - look no further.
This place is the real deal. Walking in reminded me of when I was young, and you would go visit your cool older cousins who were doing fun stuff with their friends and letting you join them in adventures. Liberty really combines the high performance training environment, with the underground gym feel, all wrapped up with a family that you choose to be a part of. They even have the worlds sweetest gym dog! These guys will help you feel welcomed, and push you to be your best. They have the knowledge, equipment, and all the right pieces of the puzzle.
Finding Liberty was the best this year. It has the best equipment and lets you train multiple different muscle groups and techniques. Our trainer Sara is amazing and everyone who trains there is focused on improvement!
If youre interested in meeting your fitness goals, this is the place to be. Knowledgeable in a wide array of approaches, the coaching staff are the best you can find. Whether youre interested in basic training or fringe sports like strongman or Olympic-style righting, you cant go wrong here. On top of that, the Liberty community cant be beat.
Great place if your interested in strongman, powerlifting, olympic weightlifting, etc. Great atmosphere and community
The place is super friendly and well maintained. People are great about putting their weights and equipment away and there is almost always a friendly staff person available to answer a question. Its definitely a step above the typical franchise gyms.
This facility deserves 5 stars. I was traveling to phoenix area for work and only needed a month membership. This facility was extremely clean. Bathrooms were very clean and the weights were always organized. Rich, John, and Roy were friendly and you could ask them anything. I am a powerlifter and, If i lived in phoenix, this would be my gym of choice.
Liberty has great equipment for olympic weightlifters, strongman competitors, and powerlifters. Its clean and has a friendly environment. They have a lot of specialty equipment you wont find at many other gyms inlcuding: atlas stones, yokes, tires, log press, sleds, husafel stones, sandbags, kegs, farmers walk handles, competition bench press, circus dumbbells, GHD. Its a great place to lift.
The atmosphere is unrivaled! great range of equipment, knowledgeable friendly staff. wonderful place to train and excellent support to reach your goals. 24hrs is a huge plus, gains round the clock 💪
Very well run. Weights chosen were appropriate for each weight class based on what Ive seen in other contests. Respect was given even as my performance was quite below my capabilities. Whats fun about strongman, is watching so many people give so much effort. Its enjoyable even when youre having an off day. Even though there were quite a few competitors, it didnt take too long going from event to event.
Great training facility, specializes in strength training and strongman🙏
The staff at Liberty are one hundred percent committed to make a positive difference in the livelihoods of their clients. If you are looking for people who will push and support you to be the best version of yourself as a person and athlete, look no further. The positive and intense atmosphere is only amplified by the members. Call them & check it out for yourself!
Love the atmosphere & comraderie. Everyone is very welcoming & friendly. Ive never felt awkward or judged like most gyms Ive belonged to in the past. Also love that it is veteran owned. Awesome place to be a part of.
Awesome facility, no judgement zone. Everyone I have come in contact with (owner, manager and trainers) are there to help and push you to the next level. Very clean facility that is well organized. If you are looking for results, this is the place for you!
After a few months of living in Phoenix I was getting worried I wouldnt find the right place to train. Thankfully someone pointed me to Liberty. There are good things happening here - if youre a strength athlete or just looking for intelligent training this is the place to be.
Best gym over all
Amazing place with staff that treat everyone like family whether you are new or a long time member. Great facility, equipment and attitude from everyone there. No gimmicks or BS, this is a legit place to get stronger and achieve your goals. Special shout out to Jon who keeps me on track and feeling like a beast again!
This gym is exactly what I am looking for. Not overly crowded. It has mostly everything i need for my workouts. Sometimes I get the gym to myself. Its in the neighborhood. The only con is that the ceilings aren’t high enough for a full gymnastic rings set up...still worthy of 5 stars!
I randomly found this AMAZING gym (and Sara!) on Class Pass and never left...Whether youre a beast or just trying to become one, there are not enough great things to say about this gym or its staff and community. We are SO happy we found Liberty Performance Training!
Liberty stands out in every way from the community within and the fact that there’s a trainer for everything, from weight loss to sports performance you can’t go wrong. From the moment you walk in the doors you can feel the energy of success filling the entire gym.
Great atmosphere. The gym feels like it is full of extended family members. Friendly. Serious training. No cookie cutter routines. My wife and I have been training with Rich for 5 years and havent had the same routine twice. Thats focused personalized service.
The place to be if you are serious about your training. Ive lifted in a few of the nations most hardcore gyms in my career; the original metroflex, Olympic Gym, and others. Liberty is on par with these houses of hardcore in their approach to training and the type of people they attract. Best of all, there are no bad attitudes here, everyone is welcome and encouraged.
Great place to work on your fitness, its better to exercise than nothing
Moved to Phoenix in August 2019 and joined Liberty. Everyone, from the staff to other members are so welcoming and encouraging. I love how everyone cheers for each other and picks each other up. I have made so many great friends and would recommend this place to all.
I love the gym now when in the last 26 years I have hated them
I’ve been seeing a trainer, Sara, for a while now at liberty. While it’s not your standard gym, I get an awesome workout every time and the environment is welcoming.
Great facility and even better people. Visiting town for work and welcomed me in, showed me around and made sure I had what I needed to have a great workout while in town. Would highly recommend Liberty Performance Training to anyone!
I am so thankful to have found this lifting community. This is a diverse group of beginners to champions, without ego or stress. Working with Rich, Colton, and Jon has been wonderful. This is a gym that is truly committed to learning about performance from each other and FOR each other. You could just come and listen all day and learn more than any number of instructional videos, or you can come with your headphones on, hit your lifts, and go home. Liberty is whatever you want it to be, except the traditional big box experience of watching TV on an elliptical. Theres no hard sell, or upsell, I think the age range is about 10 years old to 80+, liberal to super conservative, all lifting in harmony. It is probably the least stressful place I go. I cant recommend them enough. Im truly grateful for what they and the regulars have created and continue to build.
There isnt another gym/fitness center/training complex I would rank ahead of Liberty. Plain and simple. The owner, facility, and community of members are all A1 and for what you get in comparison to what you are charged? Absolute no brainer. Love this place!!
First choice as a gym, the energy is great, the people are great ( a rare quality) and the equipment is one of a kind. Personally have paid for both open gym and strongman Sunday’s with Roy and both are 100% worth your while. Will always bring up this gym when talking about where I’ve made the most progress!
Just wanted to say I miss the heck out of liberty. Trying to sort out a new gym Im probably going to have to get 2 different memberships to get the utility I got from Liberty. Your spot is gold. Keep doing your thing man.
Fantastic gym. Very hard to find a gym that with strongman equipment and room out of the weather for moving events training. Defiantly returning anytime Im back in the Phoenix area.
LPT has completely changed not only the way I view gyms, but how I view training entirely. The owner, staff, and members are all extremely respectful of people as well as their time. The facility is well-maintained and has all the equipment you’ll need to make yourself stronger.Someone is always available if you have any questions, and the members have excellent gym etiquette. You can train in everything from old fashioned weight training, oly liftinf, yoga, to more specific sports like powerlifting and strongman.I really can’t say enough good things about this gym and it’s become the one I use as standard anytime I travel to other cities. Reasonable price, no fuss, fun vibes, but people are in there putting in work and building a fantastic gym community.
Equipment and facility maintained well. Leadership instills in the community a sense of respect for property and person regardless of our sports specialization or differences ex. Age, goals.In addition, having access 24 hours is marvelous. The added security measures of the cameras for the parking lot makes it even that much better.And I think its great that there is actual expertise in the fields of personal training, Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, strongman and there are professionals there who can even help sports teams during off-season. And you dont have to be a competitor to train there, but many of the coaches compete in their area of specialization. So if you want to compete, you know you have people who can help you who know what theyre doing.
Its a great facility. Wish it had some cable rows or more machines for isometrics.
Came in randomly and gave us full access to equipment and machinery. Grateful for the usage of a gym during this time. Friendly and personable. Clean gym.
After spending the weekend in the Phoenix-area, my flight got delayed so I looked for a gym near the airport. Beyond glad I did. Called and spoke to Rich. Extremely friendly and receptive, he let me drop in. Awesome gym with functional equipment in a great space. Rich got me set up and I was able to get in a lift and shower before my flight. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants a great gym experience and will be in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area!
Its the best place in town for Strongman training! The equipment is up-to-regulation standards, the atmosphere is uplifting and the people are great. I highly recommend checking this place out.
Hands own personal training. The best in the Phoenix area. Been coming here for 5 plus years and would never change. Rich, Jon and crew are the best.
I’ve been coming here for about 2 years and it’s definitely the best gym in Phoenix for strength athletes. If you do weightlifting, powerlifting or strongman or just want to get strong, Liberty is the place to be.
Spent a few days in Phoenix for work - got in touch with Rich prior to arriving. Super easy to work with - quick to get set up and with 24 hour access, I was able to get some good work in while traveling. Great gym, great equipment!
A small gym that’s never too crowded with a bunch of really strong people who will treat you like family as soon as you walk in the door
Really awesome facility. Dropped in here while I was in town for a conference for a few days and the owners and trainers could not have been kinder to me! I was looking for a place specifically for Olympic weightlifting and so glad I stumbled across this place, as it was 24/7 and made coming by before/after conference things so much easier for me. I will be sure to come back if I’m ever in town again!!!
This is a great place to train for powerlifting. They have great equipment and great staff. Stopped in to train and hit a PR on bench.
I was able to stop in while visiting from out of town and hit a quick workout. This facility is top notch, with everything you could need for strongman, powerlifting, Olympic lifting, body building, or any other kind of training you’re into. The equipment was all top of the line and very well maintained. Really enjoyed my time here!
This place saved my life. Owe it all to Rich thank you for everything brother. God Bless
Best place for athletes looking to take their training to the next level. 24/7 access for those of us with weird and undulating work schedules. The best equipment for strongman, powerlifting, oly lifting, and general fitness. Recently competed at the 2020 AZ Beer Bullies strongman contest put on by Rich and the Liberty gang. Very well run and professional show. Highly recommend this gym.
Phenomenal facility with filled great people. All of the coach’s are excellent to work with and will tailor workout programs to fit your needs. Highly recommend!
I visited Liberty while I was visiting family on vacation. Everyone was welcoming and inviting. The equipment was suitable for every lifting type. The gym was clean and equipment was well kept. I will definatley be back next time I am in town!
Rich is a knowledgeable, dedicated, no-fluff, EXPERT personal trainer. My husband and I (58 y/o and 52 y/o) are physically spent after each session. Hes trained us for over two years, and has taken us WAY BEYOND our initial goals. Were fit. Were strong. Were healthy.Hands down, Rich is THE best investment we made for our health.
Great atmosphere, knowledgeable trainers, theres a sense of camaraderie and its not your typical commercial cookie cutter gym.
Great facility with all the equipment I need. Open 24/7 not too crowded. Great place to workout when visiting or living in Phoenix.
My two sons have been working with Liberty Performance Training for over a year. His trainer has really enhanced their skill sets. My 13 year old is the fastest on his soccer team and has taken his skills to the next level through Richs disciplined training. He was able to make a top 10 in the state team and is super excited about his soccer future. Liberty Performance has given him an edge he was looking for to develop into a top performing athlete. I cannot wait to see what this year brings us with Liberty Performance Training.
Im upset at myself for realizing I have yet to leave a review!! Liberty Performance is an awesome place to train. Its full of awesome members and Im always learning something new from fellow athletes. I met Rich nearly a year ago, just by walking into the gym. I voiced I was interested in powerlifting and actually made it to competing in nationals this year. Rich gave me the confidence and structure I desperately needed. If it wasnt for him, I would have never started competing. THANK YOU! All walks of life are welcome at this gym and I encourage anyone to check it out.
Great gym, great people, great set up
Liberty Performance Training has been an incredible experience for me, especially as a former collegiate athlete/aspiring professional beach volleyball player, who wants to maintain a rigorous and competitive workout routine.However, Liberty Performance is also a perfect place to train at any age and with any goal in mind to be a better version of yourself.I have worked out with Rich, the owner, in 1 on 1s and in group settings: both of which are extremely beneficial.Not only do you get an insanely good and tough workout in, when you choose Liberty, but you get a very well thought out and personalized workout plan, as well.Rich is extremely smart and knowledgeable in his expertise and cares about his athletes, as well. Liberty Performance Training will take the time to attend your games/tournaments/competitions to learn more about you as an athlete and person.Trying out Liberty Performance is definitely worth your time and money!
Rich is an outstanding trainer. I felt I had poor genetics and could not gain much strength or tone. Working with Rich has changed everything. Not only can I see gains, I have more confidence in myself and am more athletic. Best of all my dancing has improved dramatically with lower body and core strength. Rich is working with my teen now and i am watching her gain strength and coordination and best of all, confidence in herself.
A serious gym where members respect one another. A safe environment.
I began working out with Rich about three years ago. I had no prior experience in the gym, but I knew that I needed to lose weight and become more fit. Through his pleasant manor, expert guidance, and well thought out programs, I lost the weight and gained strength.I started powerlifting a year ago at age 71. Through his great patience, perseverance, and encouragement, I won two competitions and even hold the national record in dead lifting for my age and weight. I owe this success to Rich, a great trainer and even greater friend. I am looking forward to working out for several more years, and I could not recommend Liberty Performance Training more highly. Thank you Rich!
I love the training atmosphere of liberty!
Liberty Performance has everything you need to train for your next fitness goal! If it’s weightlifting, powerlifting, or strongman they got you covered in so many different ways.They have ample platforms and if you are a truly cultured lifter, they have kilo bumper plates for you to use! If you are prepping for a meet, they have a bench and squat rack that most powerlifting meets use as well that is pretty sweet!The staff and coaches are super nice and will make sure all your needs are addressed to make sure you lift big weights safely and strongly! They also have good tunes for you to jam out to and get hype with.Come give these guys a visit! You won’t be disappointed!
My experience with liberty performance and Richard are the best years I have ever had. When I first met Richard I had a bad back always in pain and had a chiropractor I saw every week,skinny and didnt have much confidence, and for me the gym was the last place I ever thought I would love. With his help and encouragement I can say I am a better man. I dont go to the chiropractor anymore, I am almost 200 lbs,and also competed in a strong man competition and you cant do that without confidence. Thank you!!
Very friendly and welcoming staff. The vacility is amazing and set up very nicely I truly enjoyed the company and freindship this place carrys. Great place to work out to get stronger and use some amazing equipment.
It’s not always easy to find a legit strength gym, but it was in PHX. I dropped in for the week while on vacation. All the strongman implements I needed to train were available. Staff and members were super friendly, welcoming and helpful. Plus it was really easy to get to. If you are a visiting athlete or have any interest in dabbling or getting serious into strength sports like strongman, powerlifting and oly, then this is the place to go.
Rich is no average trainer - in fact he is perhaps the best trainer in AZ. His knowledge, along with his passion to help people, takes him far, far out of the cookie-cutter, follow this system-routine. His sessions are designed for where you are each time you walk in. Improvement for me and my wife? Outstanding! Recommend him? Unreservedly! Now, its your time!
Liberty Performance Training is great. The workout that has been individually tailored for me works to ensure that my fitness goals are achieved.
I contacted Liberty for assistance with strength training in conjunction with my triathlon training plan. Working with Colton has been seriously fantastic! He is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy/physiology, gives very specific feedback on form and created an effective functional strength program for me to follow. I have had a great experience and highly recommend Liberty Performance to anyone looking to take it up another level.
I participated in the first annual Arizona Beer Bullies strongman competition here. The competition was very well organized. The facility itself has a great setup for a powerlifting and strongman gym. The staff are friendly and professional.
I came to Rich with a goal and he designed the best programming to attack my weaknesses. Trust his process, stay consistent and you will see results. This is the best gym in Phoenix.
