Use to go to this gym until I moved to the south side. But I really liked this gym. It was a starting point in my fitness journey and I believe this place really helped me. I didnt feel judged at all when I was new to fitness and once I got better and was doing more advanced exercises some other gym goers had no problem helping you or giving you advice if you asked. The front desk people were always super friendly and were super easy to talk to.

Well equipped place with ample diversity of machines, cardio, classes, and free weights. No matter what your goals are, you can accomplish them here.

Lots of equipment. Not really to crowded, depending on the time.

The fee here isn’t exactly cheap for what you get, just equipment. No pool/sauna or group fitness, and limited hours. I’ve asked them to do a better job cleaning because all of the machines are covered in a layer of dust - gross and not good for asthma.

Love this gym! Always available machines and great staff. Have been training with Ben for a few years now. He does an excellent job with our small group. Very happy here!

Lots of equipment, friendly and very helpful staff.

Desert 🏜 Fitness always feel safe and great instructors. Super workout class.

Fans blwoing full blast over every part of the gym, even the weights. I dont want to be freezing when Im trying to sweat and keep my body warm. Thats really my only issue. If they could turn the fans down or off I would have a good comfortable workout however when asked, the staff had no clue how to work the fans. Sounds kind of like theyd rather not deal with my request.

I went in to renew my registration and check out the apparatuses that I could use to strengthen my legs. After some preliminary tests, I was told that my core muscle strength was low and was presented with a program that would improve that. I signed up for a month of 8 sessions. I definitely needed the workout. Over the first 5 sessions, Ive improved balance and core strength considerably. Cant wait to see what I feel like after the next 3 sessions.

I am happy that Mayor Romero is requiring all members now to wear masks! Although managers/owners of this location said and posted members clean equipment b4 and after use, it wasnt policed and so that was not happening. All members should be required to do this safety requirement and chastised if they do not!

Best gym in town.

Ive been a member for about half a year. This gym is a friendly and well maintained gym. Its environment is the just right amount of busy. Not crammed, but not dead either. The staff have always been helpful and respectful. The equipment is clean and well maintained. I did not do any of their personal training, but it looked quality from what I would observe as I worked out. They have a nice variety of cardio equipment and plyometrics equipment. The speed school is a great program for athletes. I partook in it when I was in high school and the same coach still runs it. Definitely worth checking out!

My wife and I have been members for 11 years, during which the gym has continued to evolve in a better and better place to train. It has an excellent area for free weights and machines. You can conveniently blend them both into your workout. A large number of cardio machines--rowing, elliptical treadmills and several types of bikes. Never a wait, even at busy times. What they have added more recently is a really good program of small group workout (your group or they put people together). Very varied, and you can pick your degree of challenge. Best on the East Side for sure.

I had a wonderful experience at the fitness center. my instructor was awesomeAnd very caring. I had to stop for now due to some health problems. DesertFitness staff was always helpful. I hope after my surgery, perhaps I can comeback. presently my Doctor has me with Body Central for therapy.Thank everyone for me. Nancy

Great facility, great employees. Bit of a ghost town right now, but that just means less chance having to wait for anything!

Ive lived on just about every side of the country and this gym is truly something awesome! Amazing staff, great equipment, and its never too busy for a lift. Whether you are looking for great group workouts or seriously into lifting, you will find what you need. I do not live in Tucson anymore but Desert Sports and Fitness is the one thing I miss the most.

I have been attending the small classes at Desert Fitness 3 times a week for more than 3 years. They have changed my life. I am 81 years old, and have a bit of trouble keeping up with the younger folks, but my instructors happily adjust the difficulty of the exercise if Im struggling. I have increased my muscle mass, and lost 2 sizes in my clothes, plus I feel younger. Also I look forward to my classes because of the friends I have made here.

I love this place, has all the equipment I need for old school strength and power lifting as well as body building and performance. Staff is friendly and the place is always clean. I do wish they opened earlier on the weekends but overall it is a great gym.

I have then I member of Desert Sports And Fitness for at least a year now. The staff there is great and go above and beyond to help and give you the support that you need. I haven’t taken a lot of the classes but would like to try them. I have watched some of their group trainings and think Tina is great! She is a great motivator as well as Kelly! When Ibfirst started there I had a lot of back pain and Kelly was able to show me different stretches I could use in my work out to help with my back pain. At first I didn’t believe that it would help me but within a month or so my back pain was relieved and I was just shocked on how much better I felt. My goal is to spend more time at the Gym, but thank you to all the staff! You guys are great and appreciated.Michelle Dent

Should be 0 star. I was thinking to give 5 stars for this place. Since close 11pm from Monday to thrusday. This place should be 0 star rating. Membership price more expensive than other club, but closed so early...how come?!

Friendly, welcoming staff; great environment. All types of equipment & styles of training are accepted here - great variety! Its literally the most one-stop-shop sort of gym Ive found in Tucson. From old-school weights to modern functional training, this gym provides clean, well maintained parts & pieces for it all.

Doing a good job on providing access while still keeping people safe!

Great gym. Been going about 10 years now. They always have the most current/ best equipment. Overall perfect gym size in my opinion.

New member, but so far its all been good. Like the facility and am able to get my work in. Very helpful staff.

I have been a member at Desert Sports & Fitness for almost 10 years. The staff is wonderful, the trainers know what they are doing, and the gym doesnt feel like your typical gym, it is a community where people say hi, get to know you, and notice when you arent there. I highly recommend this gym!

This is a great gym! The staff is friendly and helpful, and the facility offers a wide array of equipment to satisfy the needs and goals of everyone. (And by everyone, I mean the 80-year-old in a wheelchair all the way to the 20-something who looks like shes going to be on American Ninja Warrior!) I wanted to find a place where I could get some effective interval training workouts, but I didnt want to pay an arm and a leg every month for a personal trainer or small group. I talked with the manager who offered to meet with me every couple months to give me new workouts so that I could continue to improve but not have the expense of a personal trainer. And it has worked! I have shed a few pounds but more importantly gotten much stronger.

Desert Sports is terrific. The staff are professional, well trained and personable. The equipment is always well maintained and is, seemingly, replaced with new equivalents. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. I could not recommend Desert Sports highly enough. And no, I am not on the payroll.

Ive worked out here for years. Great gym, always being improved. Great clientele!

My wife and I joined Desert Sport and Fitness exactly 20 years ago. Have seen many changes throughout the years. New up to date equipment were constantly added; lots of renovations took place to make the place look very attractive.I happen to take the Zumba and Aerobic classes with wonderful teachers: I love Linda, Betty, Janet - they are great. Darla at the front desk always greet you with a friendly smile.L.V.

One of the very best run places we have been to. Great equipment and great programs. All of the staff and trainers are top notch. The Barkers

Great gym. The times that the gym is open isn’t really convenient but I go when they are open

Great fitness center with wide variety of updated cardio equipment, weight machines, multiple squat racks and free weights. All ages and levels of fitness. Plenty of classes to choose from along with several trainers available for one on one training. Very friendly and welcoming staff. I would highly recommend Desert Sports & Fitness to anyone.Gayle Fenton

Love Darlas Dance Mix class. We get a terrific workout and the camaraderie is wonderful. Men and women alike benefit from this class. I never leave disappointed!

If you are looking for a place to get a great workout in, this is the place to go. Although it lacks a pool and basketball courts, it more than makes up for it in the quality of the equipment. Desert Sports has some of the best equipment, like a Jacobs Ladder. Ive been working out here for about 6 weeks or so, and Ive only ever seen one machine that was broken (which was fixed in less than 24 hours.) The equipment is always clean, and everyone seems really nice. Overall this gym turned out to be exactly what I was looking for.

This is the best club for seniors. They have quite a few classes that are geared towards maintaining what muscle and strength you have. You will not feel out of place here. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.

Great gym always clean

When I joined this gym it had a great indoor pool, and was open 24 hours a day. They have since severely cut back their hours, filled in the pool, and keep extremely odd childcare hours.This would be a great gym for retirees or people who work nights and don’t want to deal with the typical crowd during the day. Outside of that I would not suggest which is unfortunate because I would really prefer to continue going here but it’s becomd more inconvenient than necessary.

DSF has the smaller gym feel with the competitive size of larger gyms. The equipment selection is fantastic and because it’s not a major chain, the thing you need is typically always available. I dont believe Ive ever seen any equipment out of service so they clearly take good care of it. It’s a tad bit pricey compared to your chain options but it’s expected when dealing with privately owned businesses. The locations are not very convenient (on both outskirts of town) but I make the drive so that tells you something about this gym. I would recommend it to all types of people, beginners, cardio nuts and serious weight lifters.

A good gym with good equipment and associates. Good training programs and coaches. Clean, well maintained.As others have mentioned their contracts for membership and training are unfair and not customer friendly, cost to terminate for practically any reason. Be careful when committing.

The equipment is top notch, but a lot of the time its very crowed and you have to wait to use the piece thats on your list. The trainers are excellent! I miss the pool and jaccuzzi a lot. My reason for leaving is that I just dont use the club enough to keep paying for my membership anymore. I do have some medical problems that keep me away as well. The staff is also excellent. I will miss everyone!

LOVE this place! Lots of friendly people. Excellent training available and more equipment and instruction than you can handle in 100 years!!

My wife June and I started twice a week small group class April of 2016. We have seen great improvement in balance and strength and expect to continue these classes.

I find Desert Fitness to be a very comfortable environment, people of all ages and stages of their journey to a healthier, fitter body. I highly recommend.

Really enjoyed this gym. Until with no warning they changed the hours. I signed up for this gym because it was a 24 hour gym and I work the night shift so it worked out. Now unfortunately I am going to have to find a new gym.

I have been a member since 1999 and am very happy with the equipment and staff. They frequently make improvements and have a vast amount of various equipment.

The employees are always able to provide excellent service and are always willing to help me out with all my questions. Also like that I have the ability to come late at night or at any time since the gym is open 24 hours.

Great staff and great place to work out friendly staff and I would recommend this place for anyone. Keep up great work thank u Ronnie Peacock

Great gym with friendly staff. Has lots of free personal wellness seminars and classes. Made lots of new friends to.

Facilities and equipment are good, but where desert fitness really shines is its trainers and classes. Ive had gym memberships multiple times before, but this is the first time ive seen results this dramatic

They dont respond well to new ideas for improvement. They have improved and doing better now.

Another one of those gymsI signed a membership with this gym last year in June of 2017. I was told that I was signing up for a just the month and that my membership would expire after the month and Id be given an option to continue it if I liked the gym. The gym wasnt for me and I assumed the former. I guess I should have read the fine print. Long story short, after trying to cancel multiple times, the sons of b*tches charged me all the way up to august of 2018 (I had only attended the gym 4 times in June). Dering this time they lied to me 3 times saying my membership was canceled, they lied to me on how to properly cancel the membership, they are extremely unhelpful and will say anything to take your money.If youre thinking about attending this gym, just make sure you know exactly how to cancel and dont listen to a word they say. Me personally, I dont like to be in bed with manipulative, lying, unhelpful people. Its not worth the headache.

Ive never had a bad experience there. Everyone I have met and worked out with has been very helpful.

Just switched to this gym from a chain gym. I really enjoy the equipment it seems like a good mix of traditional weights mixed with machines. The hours work well for my schedule and the gym never seems too crowded. Will follow up as I go. So far I am very happy with my choice to switch to this gym.**Update 6/18: becoming less enthused not due to the gym but due to the clientele. it bothers my BF more than myself but a lot of the regulars are pretty rude. I am a get in, work out then get out kinda gal so Im not there to socialize but there are a few that just stare at people with RBF. Im courteous and rack my weights and wipe down equipment after using so Im not really sure what the problem is. we commit to a year contract so hopefully it gets better or we get used to it.*****Update 7/5Was ecstatic to cancel the membership today. My SO went in to cancel and was directed to call an 800 number to cancel. The 800 number informed us that although today was our last payment of our 12 month agreement, there is a 30 day cancellation policy so there will be one more payment required. Apparently it is in the contract, I dont recall it. I am waiting on a copy to be sent to me. I did some research and found that there have been many billing related complaints lodged with the better business bureau. I will abide by what is supposedly in the contract but if I am billed again I will pursue legal action. PLEASE LOOK AT THE BBB REVIEWS BEFORE COMMITING YOUR MONEY HERE.

Edit: Since my previous review, they have cancelled all the Body Combat classes. There was also talks about them cancelling Body Flow but apparently that class was saved. Several people were very upset. When you go to these classes, it was usually the same people and it was like a little family all working out together. The instructors were all awesome. They have ruined it. A bunch of people left the gym to go elsewhere. I have since left this gym. Especially after the manager was incredibly rude to me when I inquired about body combat being cancelled. I was shocked by the way he spoke to me and my husband was upset when he heard about it.

Great gym, equipment for pretty much all types of training, generous staff, single day passes, showers with soap(no towels no stalls, so keep those windmills to yourself!), clean!

Great gym! Nice people, great classes and awesome equipment! This gym will be around for a long time.

Well rounded gym that is never crowded. Just keep an eye on your billing because mine got messed up and turned into an issue.

This club has everything you need for physical improvement. There are machines, certified trainers, and all levels of classes for people who are just starting to people who have been exercising for years. Go. You will love it.

This is not a pick up place!A really nice place to work out. Just love it

Very nice facility. It has everything I need to workout.

Everyone has been friendly and encouraging. I am recovering after major abdominal surgery and the staff keeps an eye on me so that I dont overdue it.

Great staff and well maintained equipment. Group fitness programs to fit anyones abilities. Individual programs for those who desire specific routines.

Good place to work out. Great classes.they did take out the pool, spa and sauna. I only moss the sauna.

If youre on Medicare, this is the place for you! However, if you like to take classes, like BodyPump, watch out. Ive been lied to many months about potential changes to fix the schedule. The body pump classes are cut short so that the senior classes can have priority. I had to threaten court action to get out of my contract because they were not delivering the products they advertise. They agreed, and let me out of my contract. However they still stuck me with a 60 day notice of termination! Therefore, I had to pay for two entire additional months for service that was below par. The management was nice enough, however they did not deliver on many of their promises. Very disappointing, seemed like such a nice place, with nice people.

Great staff and trainers! Always clean and up to date equipment. I always recommend it.

I am new to the Tucson area and this gym has everything I need. Love it here!

Very friendly staff. Machines havent been too full. Normally I dont like to work out im the mens area of free weights. But feel comfortable there. Nice stretching machines.i havent had the opportunity to do a class yet?

Staff always friendly. Good variety of machines. Machines always in good order.

Nice people. Never crowded. Only downside is that music is always playing loudly; it interferes with whatever music or podcasts I want to hear on my own device!

A well maintained and fully equipped gym with a friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff.

I have found the staff at Desert Sports and Fitness to be well trained and knowledgeable, very friendly and helpful in designing a workout program fit for me.

What a place! About 3 years...like a 2nd home....you have to visit to experience it...great people, trainers...I do weights and exercise machines and treadmills, my wife the dance-a-robics and Zumba....extremely caring people there.

Great facility with great people. Good mix of equipment and adequate amount. While I use primarily weights and treadmills, wife does a lot of TRX/CrossFit and Yoga/Pilates classes and loves it. Both been members here many years and not leaving.

Staff is excellent, Kelly is the best instructor and Darla has such a positive attitude, great place to workout with free weights, cardio machines, yoga and I enjoy the group fitness classes in the dance room for my dance choreography

I love Desert Sports & Fitness, I take Silver Sneakers classes and I love the instructors KK and Karen! I also like the conferences on health issues that are provided to us monthly!

I have been working out in the morning getting trained by one of the coaches Milissa. I have been at the gym for 3 years. It has been the best experience. Milissa has pushed me to my goals. If it wasnt for her kindness and eager to help, I wouldnt be coming to the gym. She is great and I love coming to the gym. Thank you for everything.

Amazing updated facility with awesome competent staff who are fully trained to help you with anything.Dont be afraid to stop by and try out the free week, too

Well run gym with many programs that offer an excellent balance for all age groups.

The facility is excellent in every way and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. DS&F receives my highest level of recommendation!

Friendly, caring people! Clean locker room. Well run. Its a 10!!

Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful staff, great range of equipment and classes, no-hassle easy parking, and very affordable

I like that the gym is open 24 hours during the week and that the gym provides a good variety of workout equipment.

Lots of new equipment, no longer has a pool / hot tub or sauna.. clean, friendly, lots of parking,

Friendly staff. Good equipment. No complaints. 👍

I stay on my routine. as I get help and encoragment from staff. Edpecially Darla.The body trst really spurred me on to keep exervising.

I think this gym is great and I enjoy going spending time there.

Very clean and plenty of equipment. Great people and atmosphere!

Rude employee as I was walking in the door and this place looks like jt is just for seniors. My gut just screaaaaamed NO!! Do not join. I barely was going to give it a look after readi g the comments about their contracts, which sounds like a scam for more money

Great training facility, Tameron will work you to your goals

I love this gym everyone is so friendly and helpful.

Ive been in these classes for years; I love them. Thats why I keep coming back

I really enjoy working out there.

If your serious to get fit best place around

Great place to work out for all ages
