Every one very nice and polite. Very clean, but most importantly great selection of equipment. I would move here just for this gym, lol

Gym has all the things you need, plus really cool dogs so it’s already a winner in my book. Staff was constantly circling around cleaning so if that’s a top priority for you, you’ll find it here. Lots of cardio equipment, turf, free weights and machines. Gives a big box gym feel in a small local gym. Really well done.

Used the gym for close to a week when I was in AZ. They’ve been super accommodating and a great friendly atmosphere to work out in. Most importantly, the night staff-member(young blonde woman) has been super helpful and doesn’t stop working for a minute-she’s constantly cleaning, putting away equipment, assisting clients and always with a huge smile. Recommend to all and to the owner-great job on hiring this lady and running a great business.

Great gym just wish I could go more. Staff is great and helped me out a lot.

Visiting and needed to find a gym with good equipment for working out, probably one of the best gyms Ive ever been to. Highly recommended.

Good friend who was a member had an emergency call and accidentally left with a small piece of equipment. Instead of calling and asking about what happened they called the Scottsdale PD to report a theft claim ! No breaking and entering and they were a member. Absolutely ridiculous !!

Ive been to gyms all over the country and this is one of the best gyms Ive ever worked out. Has a great vibe and you feed off the energy. Can get busy at times, but what gym doesnt unless it sucks. Highly recommended.

I give this place a 5 star!! Ethan was very nice an respectful very helpful.Ben the personal trainer was very knowledgeable about what he does an excellent on informing me what the best approach was.Alex the personal trainer that i am training with was very respectful an made sure to give me corrections when I needed it to help me Execute the exercises properly.. I forgot her name but the pretty lady with the blonde orange hair was kind an helped me get all set up on my membership! They all make it a positive place which I sincerely appreciate. I wish nothing but great things for independent gym an the individuals who helped me out! 🙂 I am very happy I had a great experience!Oh also this gym is well very clean/maintained, it didnt smell like a bunch of sweating people which is definitely a plus!Update. Its been almost 4 months since I started coming here. Ive met amazing people here. Chandra she works here an she makes me smile just seeing her. I love her personality!! Derek hes a gentleman plus he is always nice. Everyone I mentioned makes this place worth going to!!

I mean its a Gym but this gym is a place where #Results happen. I could sit here and post on these pics all day but lets be honest here, we can only see results by doing so get out there and go check this spot out as you wont be disappointed.

Place was clean. Super nice people working there, I just didnt like the food.

Just got a membership and it was just an all around good gym. Cant wait to start going to the gym the staff were nice facility look pretty clean. Its a old school and new school gym with a nice area to get some crossfit in.

Can you dig it. A gym that has absolutely everything. The folks that work here and workout here are just amazing folks. The trainers are THE BEST IN THE VALLEY. Most of all its where we can get buff swole and or just maintain the bodies dynamics. I love the way they greet you and maintain everything within never have had an issue with anything at this gym unlike the other corporate guys. This gym makes the gym industry different from the rest. Slide in and check it out for yourself. #Scottsdale #Gym

This gym has a pretty fierce reputation around the valley for very very fit and attractive people. Their equipment looks absolutely top notch and their trainers all seem to be really talented. The gym can feel pretty intimidating and not so welcoming but if you need that, im sure there is a Planet Fitness nearby. 4 stars because of how much everyone is on their phones posting to IG every thing they do...

Following social distancing guidelines with humor. 🤣

I travel quite a bit so I went on Google maps to find the best gym in Scottsdale. Independence gym came up. Independence is an amazing fitness center that has CrossFit equipment, cardio machines as well as enough weightlifting equipment for any serious bodybuilder. It has a fantastic atmosphere and it makes you feel motivated to go to the gym. Derek the general manager even welcomed me and we chatted. I would highly recommend working out at Independence.

Solid no frills fully loaded old school gym. Most everyone in here is here to workout their muscles not their mouths, its motivating to be around others who look good and work hard. If you like to watch TV while you do cardio dont come here. Theres a turf area for sprints, full Olympic stations with bumper plates for heavy lifts. Place is rarely crowded and if you time it right you never have to weight for free weights or machines.

Good (better than most) gym.Kind of balanced between the serious people training and those that just live in Scottsdale. IYKYK.Good/diverse equipment. Lots of unique machines/equipment not available at other gyms. Could use a new Ohio bar or two. Dedicated Deadlift bars with no knurling left, what gives?Decent amount of bodybuilders in the place, surprised there are no real coaches here. Seems odd to me.The trainers they have just turn the place into Barrys bootcamp with group coaching. Ive only seen a few trainers even do a 1on1. Multiple group classes can occur at once so you have to be aggressive to get some equipment.

Great gym. Has everything you need! If youre a fan of having some personal space, youll want to try a different gym. It can start to feel small. This is a popular gym for a lot of group classes. Its buzzing around 6 am.

Great clean gym with great trainers and staff!!

Great Facility that is clean and has everything you need to get a TOP NOTCH workout

Visiting from Kansas City and needed a real gym for me and my three older boys to get a heavy deadlift, squat & bench workout during our stay. Independence Gym is fantastic! The manager, Derrick (sp?), and the rest of the staff were incredibly helpful. Tons of great equipment. I highly recommend this gym for serious lifters.

Pretty sweet gym. Nice workers. Lots of very fit people. Day pass is a little expensive. $12 is a little much. They have unique equipment such as a safety (squat) bar and a belt squat machine. Overall a pretty clean nice intense gym.

Went with my son to try it out and it was great. The staff at the front counter were great! They have great equipment. Old school and new pieces as well. I wish I lived closer so I could justify a membership. I will go back again for sure!! Cant say enough about the cleanliness and the great setup.

Pretty crowded most of the times, well equipment with three squat racks you barely have to wait to use one

I needed a squat rack and deadlift platform while visiting. They delivered, in triplicate. Great large gym.

Great gym. Plenty of well maintained equipment. I go at off peak hours so I have no problems with getting access to the squat racks or deadlift platforms. Employees have always been pleasant and accommodating when I request a TV channel. Dont need much else.

Its a nice gym with many options. That being said, there are many group exercises with trainers who feel entitled to the equipment. Would be nice to give the trainers the boot.

The best gym in the valley.

Awesome coaches and vibes at this gym! I love the community here, and I always feel motivated to do better each class. Definitely recommend it!

Best of the best train here

Been coming for about 3 years now. No-nonsense gym with solid equipment. Nice variety of training modalities from heavy dumbbells to oly platforms, track work to functional training. This place has it all.

Great gym I hope it comes back strong!!!

ALWAYS a great place to train.

I was working on getting in shape for my wedding and trying out different gyms/ personal trainers. This place was THE WORST. I brought my friend with me whose in much better shape and the trainer just flirted with her the whole time. He was also 20 minutes late for our scheduled appointment. The gym was horribly overcrowded too. Awful experience, would never go back.

Best gym around for my money. Great equipment, clean, a bit more hard core than your average chain gym and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Flew in from salisbury Maryland to visit family in Phoenix. And this place was 💯. Helpful, knowledgeable, and welcoming staff and a proper inventory of equipment. Home away from home

The trainers here ruin what would otherwise be a fantastic gym. Walk around like they own the place because they pay dues to train people there so the gym can call them independent contractors instead of employees, then do circuit training with groups of 4+ clients at the same time on half the equipment in the gym and try to intimidate you for having the audacity to try to get a workout in

All of the staff is very friendly and helpful. Excellent fitness place plus they have a wide array of equipment which is good for the versatility of athletes training needs. Fantastic gym if youre serious about fitness and lifting.

Great gym! Well equipped, clean, friendly, just $10 1 day guest pass and your very first day - just for free. Great music as well! 5 stars

Ive been a member at Independence for around two years now, I continue to go because the equipment is extensive and well kept. There are a lot of body builder types that go here, and you can tell it is geared towards them as they have an entire room for practicing poses for competition, but they also have a pretty good cardio machine area and a spot for cross fitters to get into it.

Great gym. Very clean and wide variety of equipment. Geared to the serious lifter. Perfect for hard core people into their training. Friendly and helpful staff.

Been going here for years. Fantastic place with events like vendors showcasing new products on the weekends. Plus a great nutrition store next door for a large peanut butter protein shake!

Ive been going here weekly for over five years and know this place well. Its a great gym with well maintained equipment. The staff is very professional with great personal trainers.

So, Ill start by saying the facilities are great. Excellent selection of equipment, pretty well laid out. If this gym were empty, Id give it a solid 5/5 no questions asked. The actual gym staff were very nice in all our interactions.However, my partner and I were frustrated by the clientele. Specifically, at most hours of the day this gym is often times dominated by trainers and their multiple concurrent clients. These group fitness programs would occupy entire sections of the gym and multiple pieces of equipment at a time for long periods of time, making it difficult to use those areas of the gym. It always felt as thought they thought they had priority over everyone else and interactions with them were awkward, tense, or flat out rude. Trainers also frequently left equipment set up with weights on them, didnt rerack their weights, or would spread their personal belongings all over the floor near different machines (making it hard to know what they were actually using) and act strange, annoyed or offended if you asked whether they were using something.The trainers themselves frequently made my partner uncomfortable with their behavior and eye contact, and FREQUENTLY obviously touched or caressed clients in a way that was incredibly inappropriate and unnecessary. As an example, the biggest offender, @RyanThrive (and his devotees), often grabs or holds clients (mostly women) butts, touches and held clients chests, and constantly had to touch or caress his clients on the shoulders, back, waist, and legs during his training sessions every time he is talking to them or passes by them. I really mean it when I say it is constant. It came across as inappropriate flirtatious behavior if not straight up sexual harassment. I guess they must have an agreement about all that between themselves, but, as a fellow gym occupant it seemed very inappropriate and made me and my partner very uncomfortable. This was not unique to this particular trainer, many of the others also did the same.So, beware if you come here you need to come either at opening or closing times during the week, or early/late on weekend days if you hope to enjoy the gym fully without the flocks of strange Scottsdale alpha-bro trainers and their clients. After 6 months we have decided not to renew our membership.

Ive been working out at different gyms all over the country for the past 8 years (all price ranges) - Independence gym easily offers the best bang for buck. Happy Customer for over 2 years now!

I have been coming to this gym for quite some time now and love it absolutely! Great staff and atmosphere! Recommend this gym definitely!

Seriously just called my phone and tried to sell me on renewing for $115 for a Summer 3month special, when month to month is only 33.33. Why would I pay $38.33 per month??In response to the feedback from my post: its not that Im offended... I just dont understand the math. Im trying to renew, but learned that the summer special that was being pitched today, just does not make any sense. I would be better off saving money going month to month, as anyone else...The idea that the summer special is a special at all, is what throws me off. Im hoping youll just tell people who want a short term membership, that the month to month is the way to go. Its better business.

Motivational members and staff !!! i live in Glendale but work in Scottsdale.. this gym is Just what i need to work off frustration after a long graveyard shift..Monthly fees are the lowest Ive ever experienced and the atmosphere is wonderful.. This is not a club where you go to see who is wearing the best workout outfit. At this place, people have goals and arent afraid to sweat to achieve them. Even if i changed jobs and had no reason to come all the way out to Scottsdale from Glendale, I would keep my membership and come to Independence Gym at least 2 times a week.. ITS WELL WORTH THE TRIP in my opinion..!!!

Great gym. Super friendly for an out-of-town drop-in visit. Would definitely visit again.

Lots of meat heads. Even women. But Great gym, especially if you have prior injuries and need specific equipment. I’m not too fond of the looks I get from the staff and juicers. If you aren’t already in good shape maybe consider another place. Lots of dirty looks

This gym is so motivating! Everyone is so fit and dedicated.

I have a different dont and means of exercise where I do less vigorous movement... Not big on gyms prefer weight room at community center

Well managed and maintained. Great equipment including; free weights, machines, Olympic platforms, kettle bells, inside turf, tires, sleds, and cardio equipment. Wonderful and professional staff as well. The facility offers a very serious fitness atmosphere.

Like the other reviews say, very serious workout atmosphere, which is why it didnt get 1 star. This place is ALWAYS over crowded. I worked out here and another place, but decided to consolidate my memberships into one location for the group classes at the other spot.

Met the owner he is a great guy and has a good personality. Very clean gym and if you are serious about your goals there is definitely a very motivational atmosphere here.

Gym has a decent selection of machines, weights, and functional gear. Customer service sucks. Stood at the counter for 15 mins when I first went to sign up. Eventually a woman came and helped . Needless to say there was a guy standing there the whole time talking to his buddy. Thought he was just a gym rat. Nope he worked there and couldnt be bothered to pause his conversation. This is a common occurrence as I have gone to the counter countless times and get the same attitude or like Im bothering them.

Do you go to the gym for the free tootsie rolls? To hang out with your friends, walking at 0.8mph on the treadmill while talking about your latest juice cleanse you saw on Dr. Oz? This gym might not be for you. But if you like working towards real progress in a motivating environment, then you shouldnt go anywhere else.

Wonderful and professional staff as well. The facility offers a very serious fitness atmosphere. They have a variety of exercise machines and free weights and plenty of cardio machines. Theres also a side where you can do plyos and other exercises. Will absolutely recommend this place.

One of the more intense gyms in AZ 💯🇺🇸💪

I have never been to a gym with such a friendly, welcoming staff and exceptionally professional management. They greet you by name when you walk in the door and do everything to ensure your experience is great. Plus, your first visit is FREE. Absolutely recommend.

Absolutely the best gym Ive ever been to! The atmosphere of the gym is absolutely amazing and you dont have to feel intimidated when working out.

All of the staff is very friendly, and helpful. I am currently working with a personal trainer, and she is amazing. Covers everything that I need.

Nice gym, misleading as hell. If you see their Facebook ad or a ad under Grindset Fitness do not fall for it. Thank me laterEdit: visited Tuesday July 23rd

I went there on a pass good place to work out a lot of committed people training around you they were very nice to me even though I was not a member and was just trying to place out

Spent a weekend in Scottsdale and needed a place with real equipment. They had only one squat rack, but thats more than most gyms can say. Great place. oh and they gave me the first visit for free.

First i want to say there are still people and businesses in our society that support our uniformed men and women in the United States military. This is one of those businesses. Not a huge gym but its a great place to get it done! Also they have a tire flipping, sled pull/ pushing, box jumping area. Way cool! Machines are tightly spaced but newer and dumbbells go up to 150lbs. This is where the big boys play. I like the facility and Im glad i found it.

Great gym, my husband and I were in Scotsdale for the weekend and wanted to still hit the gym. Very Military friendly and we will definately be going again when we are there for another weekend.

Must see gym in Arizona!

Worse Gym ever! The people at the front desk are very rude, and act like because they work in Scottsdale that gives them the right to be completely disrespectful and completely rude!!!! I would never suggest anyone workout here. The vibe is not very friendly, and completely unprofessional.

Hands down one of the best gyms I have ever worked out in. Excellent staff and a wide array of equipment.

This is a great gym for people that take fitness seriously. Well equipt with some of the best personal trainers in the valley! I have moved away and miss this gym terribly! I hope to return in the next 2 years!

Once great gym, now completely oversold. No parking and waiting for equipment is the new norm. Too bad. It was a great spot.

Hands down the best gym that I have ever worked out at!

Fantastic place if youre serious about fitness and lifting. Great equipment.

No nonsense old school lifting gym.

Great gym!

This is my favorite gym that Ive been to yet. They have all of the right free weights, racks, barbells, machines, belts, bars, cables, and equipment you could possibly need. And when you work out here, you work out with the best. When you ask for a spot from someone, youre getting a spot from a bodybuilder, as opposed to at LA Fitness, where if you ask for someone to spot you, youre probably getting a spot from an accountant or broker. People at this gym are enthusiastic and serious. You can feel the energy when you walk through the door. Ive made great personal achievements here, and I continue to be extremely motivated just from working out here.The only downside is since the focus is on lifting, cardio seems to be an afterthought. The machines are pretty old, and gym maintenance seems to be focused on lifting equipment and floor upkeep. I like to use upright stationary bikes, and when I joined there were 4. Now there are 3, and 2 are broken. One broke while I was using it, and I reported it broken to staff, and its still broken months later. So I now belong to two gyms, one for cardio, and one for lifting.Regardless of that, I highly recommend IG for lifting. It really is the best.

Have everything and obviously a serious gym where people are making serious progress...but constant news on the tvs depresses me so much I hate using the treadmills. Also nice they try to be balanced but ugh Fox news.

Great place to work out, ask for Erin The Beard if you are in need of some motivation and great workouts; however most of the trainers seem legit and professional!

Whenever Im in visiting I use this gym. Very clean and well equipped.

Best gym in Az. Very local non commercial

Been going here over a year. Great gym which attract a crowd that is there to get it on with the weights and the monthly fee is very reasonable!

Lifting platforms and 30-35m turf to do sprints or sled pushes! Good for versatility of athletes training needs.

Great gym and great trainers. Ask for Ty

Great gym, great staff! One of the best gyms i have ever seen.

Impressive. Looks like they added group workouts. Its a gym for people serious about fitness. Not a social club, though I see a few people greeting one another, sharing an occasional hehekeke. Mostly all business!! I love that👍🏽Always clean and orderly. Good look in there😎. #FrankieJones of #JustInTimeFitness Hes solid!! #IndependenceGym The music is right. Staff is friendly, helpful. I drive 30mins to workout there. That says something. Its mostly Frankie. He kicks my butt in there smh lol I like the atmosphere as well.

Best gym - hands down.

Serious gym for serious training. Leave your phones at home!

Good experience overall. Clean equipment and attentive staff.

Love that my trainer can work with me there

Over priced and very pretentious.

Not a bad gym. My only complaint would be is the management is not very responsive.

Well equipped gym for serious fitness people.

They have a variety of different machines and free weights. And plenty of cardio machines also a whole other side to do plyos and different exercises.

Awesome gym with lots of well maintained equipment.

Old school gym. Good equipment and people

Best gym for serious lifters and health enthusiasts

Great atmosphere and Equipment

Always the best place to workout.

Clean, taking precautions and friendly employees
