Underground Fitness Personal Training

Fantastic experience: What a wonderful team of people! I say team, because that’s what you get when you join this program. You work out 3 times a week with a personal trainer. My trainers are having me do specific exercises for my body type and to help build up my back from a lower back injury.Also, I have a nutritionist who helps me with meal planning, and also calls me weekly to see how I’m doing.The encouragement I receive from the staff is so uplifting, and I am closer to reaching my fitness goals. Underground fitness is a very positive environment, and I actually look forward to my workouts.

Fantastic experience: I have had a really good experience here thus far. Kasey Gibbs is my trainer and is very good at what he does. He learns what you like/don’t like, safely pushes you to your limits and beyond, and gives great tips along the way. I knew a lot before starting training with him, but he has already taught me so much more. Everyone is also very friendly which is a plus. Training here has been a great motivator to stay healthy and in shape while learning new and useful exercises/tips to continue building muscle and burning fat. I feel the strongest and healthiest I have in years. It’s a little pricey but you will get from this what you put into it and is ultimately worth the investment in my opinion. Also, they have very helpful payment plans that make it easier to manage! (There is no better motivator than having financial skin in the game and a trainer who will keep you accountable).

Fantastic experience: The trainers here are very awesome. Always willing to help you and work with you. It's a different training setup. But they definitely will always encourage you and train you to what you can do. I've enjoyed working out here and have seen great progress.

Fantastic experience: I started 21/2 weeks ago & Gavino has been great, he has catered my workouts around my injuries and I never imagined l would feel better this fast! Still a lot to accomplish but with Underground Fitness "I believe"

Fantastic experience: Underground Fitness is awesome. Love the training sessions with Tripp and his knowledge over meal prep as well. You will be worked and be able to gain towards your goals when going here.

Fantastic experience: Underground Fitness is a great place to work out. The trainers are not only knowledgeable, but also friendly. They are welcoming, encouraging and want everyone to reach their goals. In my opinion, the personal attention from the trainers makes Underground Fitness much better than a typical gym.

Fantastic experience: I love my experience here. The staff are friendly and down town to earth. The general manager is very attentive and quick about resolving customers needs. Their personal training and mentorship programs are amazing.

Fantastic experience: If you’re on the fence-just go for it. It’ll be 100% worth it. Dave and his team at Underground Fitness will support you all the way. They truly care about their clients’ success. I started working with Tripp this past summer, and I lost 40 lbs over the past 6 months. He helped me understand that I don’t have to kill myself in the gym to see results, and he helped me gain confidence about how much I can lift (the right way). Gavino is also a great trainer. They meet you where you’re at, and build you up. They also put just as much focus on proper nutrition, and your personal goals.This is definitely a better experience than going to an overcrowded big box gym where they’re constantly trying to upsale you.

Fantastic experience: I started training with dave and his team at the beginning of 2020, and they completely changed my entire life around. I had no previous experience in working out, but they provided me with everything I needed. Their team was also always very accessible whenever I had a question in regards to meal prep or workouts. They helped me get to my dream body when I never thought it was possible. Everyone in the training center is also super cool and kind, and are genuinely there to help you achieve tour goals. Dave and his team are great, kind, and passionate people! This is definitely a place I recommend to anyone that is looking to achieve their fitness goals/journeys! 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic experience: Underground Fitness hands down! Is the best training facility to train at. If you are looking for a quality trainer who knows what they are doing and motivates you through every workout, stop looking and join Underground Fitness. I have been coming to Underground for the last 10 months and have had the best results I have ever had in the last 2 years of working out. I came in with a goal and when I was introduced to Dave, not only did he tell me what I needed to do he put together a plan for me and made sure I executed the plan. 10 months later I have seen results I have never seen before. I will continue to train with the best trainers in the Valley!

Fantastic experience: I am so glad my chiropractor recommended UF and trainer Jon D to me about a year ago, saying I needed core strength to keep from continually throwing out my lower back, which I had been dealing with for decades. I am especially thankful to Jon, who has been the perfect trainer for me, always friendly, motivating with kindness and respect, and never overbearing. Through Jon’s expert guidance and personalized plans, I was able to make surprisingly quick progress toward my objectives of eliminating the lower back issues plus gaining overall strength, endurance and definition. In my early 60’s, I am so happy to be in the best shape of my life, and I plan to continue with Jon at UF indefinitely!

Fantastic experience: TLDR; signing up for the 9-week transformation was hands down one of the best decisions I've made for myself in quite a while. They give you the tools to bet on yourself, and win. I had attempted to lose the 25-30lbs id put on for ~2-2.5 years with zero traction. I would start enthusiastically, and when I didn't see ANY results, I'd either give up completely or take my foot off the gas considerably. Then wash. rinse. repeat. I was completely hopeless and frustrated with my self and my life. Enter underground fitness. I left my initial consultation with Dave feeling almost giddy (and. don't use that phrase lightly). Everything he said just clicked - for the 1st time in a long time, it felt not only possible but likely that I would be able lose the weight. And 9+ weeks in that feeling hasn't gone away. Thanks to Dave and my Trainer Tripp (honestly one of the most knowledgeable trainers i've ever met), and despite my newly discovered hypothyroidism, I've lost 3 inches off my waist, I have the confidence to take pictures with my family/niece and even been able to bring a few items of clothing out of retirement! And all this was possible without being forced to eat salads or protein shakes all day. Dave taught me how to be accountable for myself and my food. If I want dessert, and make sure I have it budgeted into my daily calories and I eat that dessert. He genuinely cares about his clients and his only goal is for your to reach your goals, and in the process teach you how to eat for the rest of your life. Honestly, could have easily gotten double the money out of me for the following 9 weeks program but because I was doing well with my nutrition, he moved me to a less hands-on 9-week program. And frankly, Just knowing that I know how to lose the weight and keep it off and that I won't have to deal with this issue again is pretty mind-boggling.

Fantastic experience: I’ve always considered myself a fairly healthy guy. I played sports all my life and have always been an active person. In my younger years, I depended on my youth and metabolism to keep me in shape. I ate how I wanted and never really tipped the scale too bad, but in December 2010, I found myself married to my high school sweetheart, and 230 lbs and I’m only 5’6”. That was literally the heaviest I had been in my life at the time. I walked into a gym in Farmington, Missouri and ran into a very energetic guy. I spoke with him about training and getting in shape. His name of course was Dave Bess. I had the luxury of being his first client EVER…lol. Needless to say the results were amazing. I went from 230 lbs to 193 lbs in matter of 16 weeks. No fancy diets, just hard work and dedication. So, fast forward 11 years, and wife and 2 kids later, I sat at 228 lbs and not knowing how to get out of it. As an ex athlete, working out is easy for me. But whenever I started, everything else in my life became unbalanced, which led me back to doing what was easiest, just making it through the days. I wasn’t built bad but I just needed guidance. How do you balance it all? How can you balance being a Christian man, husband, father, career, and self care all at once. As a father I wanted to show my wife and kids a good example of a man who could have it together spiritually, mentally, and physically. I also suffered with thoughts that’s my health was in jeopardy any way. My father, and both of his brothers all died at early ages from prostate cancer. My grandfather who passed less than a week ago also had prostate cancer. So obviously you get a feeling that your future is doomed. I was in a frustrated dark place when it came to the wellness of my family and myself. Eight weeks ago I sat on the couch scrolling facebook and I saw a live video from Dave and he asked “What trips you up when starting a plan?” I commented on the post, but I didn’t expect it to go any further. Out of the blue I received a FB message from Dave asking if I wanted to get together on a zoom a chat. I agreed. We discussed not just weight loss but we discussed life and all the important pieces of that make it worth living. He laid out a plan. It was not just about working out but, it included time for spiritual walk, time with my wife and kids as well. It was a wellness plan, not just a workout plan. Before starting the transformation plan I had no discipline at all. I didn’t realize the importance of planning your health walk the same way you plan on your job. It helped me to get all of the pieces to the puzzle and finally put them together. In just 8 short weeks I’ve come down from 226 lbs to 202 lbs, and I even have my family on board with me. I have seen changes in I my physique that I haven’t seen in a long time. The meal plan is not strict but it does involve making better choices as you should in life. Dave and I speak on a weekly basis and the topic of discussion is “How do you feel?” Its not just about body gains and workouts. I would definitely recommend the 63 day transformation to anybody that needs the total package of achieving results and learning how to do it properly. I plan to eat and live this way the rest of my life. At this point in my journey I feel as if all the pieces of me are coming together. My family and I are opening other areas of interest with each other. Health and wellness is becoming a natural part of our lives. Thanks to Dave Bess for a second time!!!

Fantastic experience: My trainer is awesome. He really challenges me and he is a good guy. I am getting stronger and stronger

Fantastic experience: I was stuck in such a rough patch in my life, I’d hardly eat more than a meal a day, or would mostly consume junk food, and would rarely work out. After getting out of a toxic relationship, I found underground fitness after looking through several gyms, and this one seemed the most genuine to me, which IT SURE WAS. One of the first things Dave told me during our first walk in meeting was “We don’t just want to transform you for 9 weeks, we want to help and provide you with knowledge that will benefit you for the rest of your life.” Everyone at the gym is so friendly, I felt absolutely no judgement from anyone there. Both Dave and Liz showed me so much kindness, and have helped me sooo so much. I highly recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a lifestyle change with a happy, loving environment!

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! I spent many years at the big box gyms hitting the same ten machines and not showing much progress. Owner Dave and trainer CJ are amazing and genuine people. They have helped tremendously showcasing their immense knowledge and passion for moving weights. I have also gained a working day to day knowledge about choosing the right foods and setting goals to keep those pounds off. Try Underground out and prove me wrong.

Fantastic experience: Underground Fitness is a great gym! I signed up for the 9 week program and it was exactly what I needed. They focus not only on getting physically fit but working on the mind and spirit as well. The owner Dave set me up with his custom system that helped to hold me accountable to goals that I set for myself. He also set me up on a meal plan that is simple and has been a game changer for me. The trainer CJ is extremely knowledgeable in all facets of strength training whether you are looking to drop 100 pounds or bulk up and put on muscle mass. Overall I would highly suggest checking this place out. You will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Great staff

Fantastic experience: I love underground!! Trisha has been training me and working with me for the past 5 weeks and I’ve seen such great progress!! She’s an excellent trainer and knows what she’s doing. She always takes the time to write down my workouts so I can easily repeat them. I would definitely recommend her or any of the underground crew to anyone who is looking for a personal trainer.

Fantastic experience: Underground Fitness and my coach, Jake, especially have been a wonderful source for reaching my fitness goals this Summer. Even 700 miles away in the state of Utah, Jake was present with me over the phone and text during the entire program! Not only was I constantly encouraged, but I was challenged in a way that made me want to excel toward my fitness goal. Jake's uplifting attitude and constant vigor to encourage and motivate me was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Jake, and Underground Fitness if you're finally wanting to meet the goals you've always wanted. Now it's time for my wedding, and I'm sure i'll be back post-honeymoon ;)

Fantastic experience: Underground fitness has an incredible team of trainers who are there to help you on your fitness journey. For me, my goal was to be able to walk up a flight of stairs and not run out of breath. I have come a long way since then with the help of my amazing trainer Trisha. She has not only helped me get into shape but has assisted me in building nutritious meals that fit my lack of cooking abilities and busy schedule.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out at Underground Fitness in Glendale for about 1.5 years now, on and off. The first day I walked in Trisha was helping me and made me feel right at home as if I belonged there. She scheduled me with a trainer who would best fit my goal for building muscle. With my busy schedule I’m able to train at least two times a week, and I’m very grateful for all the trainers there. They are very competent and experienced in their own way which makes it the perfect gym. No matter what your needs are, you’ll be taken care of and you will reach your goals if you stay consistent, believe me. I recently went out of state for 3 months and I’ll tell you that it was not the same to workout at another gym. Something was missing and it was the trainers at UF. Now that I’m back it’s really amazing and the trainers made me feel like family. I would definitely recommend UF to everyone that wants to reach their fitness goals and wants to feel like they belong.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough great things about UF and the trainers (Trisha is the best :-)), I am here to write another review. Thanks to her unrelenting focus on clients health and well being, I have successfully completed another Rim to Rim (North Rim to South Rim) Hike at Grand Canyon. I couldn't even walk up my stairs a couple of years ago and I have already finished 2 hikes at Grand Canyon and conquered Humphrey's Peak - Thanks to all those brutal but effective leg days. Thank you Trisha and everyone at UF. You guys change lives :-).

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Trisha! She is patient and encouraging, while not letting you take it easy. The workouts are designed specifically for me and my personal goals and are done in a comfortable environment that isn’t intimidating but keeps me motivated to do my best at each workout. Thanks Trisha and Underground fitness for creating a space that is enjoyable for everyone, regardless of where they are at in their wellness journeys!

Fantastic experience: Underground Fitness is great! It's the perfect spot for those who don't like going to gyms, or those who don't know what to do at the gym. Each one of the trainers has their own style of training and each style works in it's own way, no matter who you are or what you're looking to work on. They help you track what you eat so that you are able to take full advantage of the membership. The trainers are very personable, making everyone they work out with feel like they are a friend and belong at the facility. Dave is great at focusing on specific muscles during a routine and helping build muscle. Trisha is the best at working on your mobility, not using a lot of weight but focusing on movements and flexibility.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Underground Fitness for 2 years now, I train with Jon and it has been a great experience. Jon has a very unique motivational style that took some time getting used to at first, but when I did, I hit my stride and never looked back. I have made a tremendous amount of progress under his stewardship, he is extremely knowledgeable and always goes the extra mile. There is a big focus from the team on aligning the training with nutrition and all trainers are very knowledge in this area. The overall Underground team is great to; very friendly, motivating, not pretentious in anyway, great place to workout. Appreciate everything the team there have done to improve my fitness.

Fantastic experience: Let me start by saying I’ve been lifting for the past 20+ years. I’ve had my up and downs like everyone else. Some good consistent years and others sporadically. The past few years have been plagued with injury and poor eating habits. I finally broke down and said enough. I’ve had a few visits next door at Impact Physical Therapy (awesome place by the way) and saw people working out here and always thought it was a good place to train at. I met the owner Dave and scheduled the first workout with him, which is free by the way, and we went over nutrition and a full body workout assessment. We determined that with my schedule, it’d be best to set me up with Jake Page. I’ve been with Jake about three months now and I’m loving everyday I get to workout with him. He is knowledgeable and cares deeply for his clients wants and needs. I have been more sore (the good muscle sore) the past three months than I have ever been lifting on my own. Also, not only Jake, but everyone there at Underground is knowledgeable and happy to help the people there. You generally don’t find a business where the employees are happy and excited to be at work but they are here!

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Trainer Dave Bess for 6 years. He has taught me how to work out smart and efficiently with effective results! His thought process on your diet is more about leading a lifestyle and allowing you to still enjoy the foods you like, while not over consuming. His approach in training is based off each individuals needs and wants and targets those specific areas. Dave has lead me to be a successful Boston Marathon Runner and 3x Ironman. As a Triathlete, I have not gone without injury and Dave knows how to work around those areas without compensating the rest of body and still concentrating on core strength and agility. Trisha Thurston has now joined Underground Fitness. She has been an incredible asset and has helped me learn how to Cross-Train to improve my fitness level, endurance and performance. This Dynamo Team is now leading me towards another Ironman Event and I could not be more enthusiastic about referring such wonderful caring people as Dave and Trisha and everyone at Underground Fitness.

Fantastic experience: No words can really describe this place! It's not just another gym, not just another personal training studio. Here you will get results, results that you probably didn't know even existed! I train with Dave and Jake. They are both phenomenal and push you to strive to your ultimate goal! My ultimate goal was to get my life back and lose weight while doing it. So far 43 days in I have lost 25 lbs. You yourself have to want it ! Following the diet is top key to get what you want ! I've gained muscle and lost fat . I started in a size 42 waist and for the first time yesterday I actually fit comfortably in a 38. That's 2 sizes and 25lbs in 42 days. Going to the gym for an hour three times a week. This place and the trainers are priceless to me!! They go out of their way to help you reach your goals ! STRIVE NOW!!! MAKE THE CALL, I DID AND I'M SEEING RESULTS WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH! I couldn't thank these trainers enough.

Fantastic experience: Can't say enough about the team here at this Underground Fitness! Over the past year, I have gotten to know all of the trainers personally. Dave, Jake, John, & Trish are all extremely knowledgeable and great to work with. I struggled for years with chronic back pain and needed to get into shape for a Spartan Race. Dave was able to get my strength and conditioning on point for the race all while strengthening my back and core. I can happily say that after all these years of chronic back pain, I am almost pain free! You can't go wrong with the team here. They all really care about you as a person and for that hour that you train, they make you feel like the most important person in the world. :)

Fantastic experience: Dave has always been positive and encouraging. He is an extremely knowledgeable personal trainer. I will continue to go to Underground Fitness, and recommend you do to. (I have also worked with Trisha and she is awesome too! This place rocks). I lost my mom (my only parent for 22 years) to a sudden stoke at 44 years old. I was her only child and I just graduated from college. I was completely lost in life and extremely depressed for the last 2.5 years and as a result of bad habits and lack of guidance, I gained a tremendous amount of weight (40lbs). I was very afraid to begin personal training because I can get “psyched out” easily if someone pushes me too hard. I also have an autoimmune disorder that flares up if I feel too much stress. Thus there was a lot of fear joining a gym. BUT I tried out Underground Fitness and took a leap of faith with Dave. It has been 8 weeks and I have lost 15 lbs, 2.25 inches in my belly and I feel physically and mentally stronger than ever.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at Underground for about 6 months now. I had lifted most of my life on my own. I never saw a trainer at my gyms that I felt could train me.. they all looked ridiculous and normally had their clients on treadmills as they checked their cell phones... It had been about 3 years since I worked out seriously, and I was really in bad shape. Apprehensively, I signed up for one on one training with John. This guy was really good... he asked about my diet and helped me put a plan together. Gave me a free app and held me accountable for what I put in my mouth.. He didn't just forget about it.. he wanted answers.. After a month of one on one I went over to group classes. Group was with Dave.. Dave is Underground Fitness' Rock Star. This guy is AMAZING. He tweaked my diet further and really tied the mind/muscle connection together for me. The gains that I have had are just amazing. Being 52, I did not think this was possible. He has really motivated me to get back into this and stick to my diet. I have lost over 35 pounds and countless inches since I have started. Finally, I have worked with Trisha on Saturday mornings. We have concentrated on Core exercises... She gets it... she listens to what you are trying to achieve and gets you there. She is on Dave and Johns level... maybe even better. All of the trainers listen to what you are saying. They do not want you in pain or puking. They want you to succeed. I highly recommend taking this road if you are looking to change your appearance, but more importantly to change how you feel and add YEARS to your life.. Your not too old or too out of shape for this group to help. Now get motivated and get to Underground!!!!

Fantastic experience: I am a new member to Underground Fitness, and I must say I have never been so excited for my fitness and nutrition journey! I am not new to fitness, I have worked out my whole life and played college volleyball, but my body has stayed the same for as long as I can remember. I wanted a gym that would challenge me and push me to new limits. I went in for a consultation with Dave, and when I left I knew this was the place for me! Dave took the time to truly explain everything and in a way I would understand. Sometimes gyms and trainers can be intimating, but not underground fitness. When you go in , you will feel inspired and encouraged to push yourself In ways you didn’t know were possible. The best part, is the focus on nutrition. Not only are you getting a killer work out, but you’re learning how to eat and what is best for YOUR body! I could go on and on, but I will just say that I can already tell that underground fitness is going to change my life! Dave and his team are AWESOME!!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love training at Underground Fitness. The environment here is so clean and welcoming, and the trainers are all very friendly. I train with Trisha, and I just have to say that she is the best!! She is so knowledgable, and helps me to perfect my form and is always challenging my body and mind with awesome workout routines. She will push your limits to help you reach your potential and goals! Can't say enough about the improvements I see physically and mentally. Thank you so much Trisha and Underground Fitness!! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: As somebody who had never lifted before, I needed some place with an experienced staff that could work with me and guild me through a lifting and nutrition program. Over the years I’ve worked both with Dave and Jake who both really understand the science of lifting and eating that’s needed to fully develop muscle. Since starting I’ve added more than 25 pounds of muscle and completely changed my physique. Also since starting I’ve entered two bodybuilding competitions, winning one! Thanks guys for all the help and guidance. I highly recommend them. Doyle

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out at Underground Fitness for about 5 months now and I LOVE it! All of the trainers are fantastic and incredibly friendly. I only have done sessions with Trisha - who is great and I would recommend to anyone - and yet all the other trainers know my name and greet me. It makes it feel more like working out with friends and it takes away the intimidation I’ve always felt towards private training. That said, they don’t go easy on you with the workout. They push you to be the best you can be while still taking in your fitness levels and safety into consideration. I definitely recommend Underground Fitness!

Fantastic experience: It has been 2yrs since I have joined Underground and its been a blessing. I am one of the lucky ones in the gym. I can honestly say that I have had the opportunity of working with all the trainers in the gym, even the new kid Jake or Jake the Fake as he is known. The nicknames come from Big Dave, don't ask just go with it and have fun. I have had Jake the Fake train me now for a couple months ever since he came to Underground. I see Jake once a week at least and I still see my main man Big Dave. From my first workout with Jake he pushed me hard and he continues to push me to my limits every session. I'll be doing a set with Jake and I can see and hear Big Dave from across the room in amazement and dropping the S bomb a time or two. Jake is very good at what he does and explaining things and showing you. Especially with body sculpting moves. As a Flight Attendant with a crazy schedule, half the time I don't know if I am coming or going. They are so great working with my crazy schedule Not only do they put me through a workout but they have put me on a diet. Teaching me how not only to eat right but how to meal prep each week. Learning how to meal prep has saved me money in the long run. I am still able to add the foods I enjoy like a Pop tart from time to time. All trainers at Underground are the best of the best and they are unique in their own ways. If you ask me who is the best I will always say Big Dave, he is my main trainer and I also consider one of my best friends. If you ask me who is second best well I couldn't tell you since they all are great.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Underground Fitness for about 8 months now and I'm never looking back! I was a little skeptical at first because I had never done personal training. My brother had been training with Trisha for quite some time and was constantly trying to get me to tag along. I decided to go for the first session with Trisha and I've been going ever since then! Trisha is really knowledgeable about personal training and customizes her routines per person. But more importantly, she really pushes you to go one step further each time. I've lost 20 pounds so far with the nutrition plan and the workouts and I don't plan on stopping now! Not just Trisha, but every other trainer as well really cares about personal training and they all want you to become the best version of yourself. It's truly a supportive and fun place to exercise! Thank you Underground Fitness!

Fantastic experience: Underground has helped change my life! Before I started with my awesome trainer Dave at the studio early this year, I was a self-conscious, insecure guy. I would try to work out on my own and attempt one-off diets with no success. Hope of achieving my goals was slipping away. When I walked into the studio for the first time, I was warmly greeted and welcomed by the man who I would soon call my very own personal trainer, Dave Bess. Being a nursing student with a lot of schoolwork on my plate, Dave understood that I have a very busy schedule and was willing to meet my individualized needs. In the past 10 months that I have been working with Dave, there has not been a single week where he has not been able to accommodate to my schedule. His level of professionalism is exceptional and he incorporates fun and learning into each workout, teaching me about different moves, muscles, and nutrition as we go along. The expert knowledge, advice, and accountability that Dave has to offer has helped transform that self-conscious boy into a more confident, stronger man. I would 100% refer anyone to Dave and the rest of the Underground team!

Fantastic experience: The absolute BEST personal training gym I've ever been to. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, challenging, and time flexible. I've had better results from attending the small group session 2-3 times a week, than when I've attended 5 times a week at other gyms. My trainers, Dave and Jake, always mix up the workouts so they're always physically challenging and fun!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Underground Fitness for anyone who is wanting to get in shape after having a baby! After having my second child, I lost all of my pregnancy weight on my own. However, my shape was dramatically different, and I was not filling out my clothes the way I liked. Hiring Dave Bess was the best decision I ever made! Dave set me up on a nutrition plan that allows me to eat the foods I like and still continue to lower my body fat. Using my individual nutrition plan and weight training plans, my body is transforming, and I’m feeling so much more confident.

Fantastic experience: I hired Dave Bess and Underground Fitness in February of 2016 and have experienced remarkable changes in my lifestyle and lost 55lbs in this time frame. Dave worked with me developing a training routine that worked for me and also pointed me in the direction of making healthy food choices that have now become part of my lifestyle. I can honestly say that I feel better at 58 years old than I ever thought possible. If you are looking for a personal trainer I highly recommend Dave. When a person hires him you not only get an excellent trainer but you also get a lifestyle coach and a great friend!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about the team at Underground Fitness! I have had the good fortune of working with several of them over the last year and a half. I've done one on one training several times a week, and love their group sessions as well! I recommend Alpha Hour! Dave has been great at helping me get my diet sorted out and directing me on a solid workout routine! Alec took the time to identify my specific wants and needs and built a regiment that has helped me achieve them! And when I injured my shoulder, Trisha adjusted my workouts to rehabilitate my shoulder while still working towards my overall goals. And Saturday's with Jake are great! He's a machine! Give this place a shot, you'll thank me for it!

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Underground Fitness for 3 years. Before starting at the studio, I was very overwhelmed and nervous because I had never worked out before. From the first day I walked into the studio, I felt so welcomed and felt like a priority. Dave is in charge of my nutrition. His knowledge and approach to flexible dieting has created a lifestyle that I will continue to follow. I am able to eat and incorporate foods I love (Lucky Charms) while seeing great results! I currently train with Jake and Alec and could not be happier. They are flexible with my busy schedule and give me a great workout every time. They taught me patience and to trust the process. I never thought I'd be able to get such good results without extreme dieting.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Underground Fitness for almost 2 months. This is the BEST gym I have ever been to by far. I lost 20 pounds in the first month alone with the help of my trainer Jon! Jon has always been very encouraging and has personalized my nutrition to help me reach my goals. I have worked with both Jon and Jake, and both have taken the time to listen to my needs. The workouts are challenging and motivating. Thanks so much Underground Fitness!

Fantastic experience: I have never worked out before and after 7 months postpartum, I decided to get back into shape. Being in the gym is completely out of my element. Seeing those machines and weights are pretty much intimidating for me. So I was looking for a more intimate set up and a more personal approach. So I gave underground fitness a try. I must admit I was scared with my first consultation with Alec. On the contrary he was very welcoming, I explained to him my current state. Alec was very detailed with all his explanations as to how I can achieve my fitness goals. Alec has huge enthusiasm, he is really good with what he does and makes working out more enjoyable. Two months after, I am very pleased with how much weight I have lost and how my mind has changed just by embracing this new lifestyle. What an immense pleasure to have Alec as my trainer. I have been greatly enriched by his input, expertise and knowledge. If you are looking for an amazing place to work out, excellent trainers and willing to put in the work- give underground fitness a go. You will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Underground Fitness-Arrowhead going on 6 months now. I have lost almost 60 pounds since coming here and following Dave's meal plan. I love the inviting environment and friendly attitude of the staff here! I get an amazing workout each and every time that I walk through the doors. I would highly recommend Underground Fitness to anyone looking for a gym!!

Fantastic experience: I am a busy Mom to a 10yr old daughter and 8 yr old triplet boys. I just completed my 225th work out at Underground Fitness, Glendale. Dave and Jon are amazing trainers and more importantly just great friendly guys. They always listen to my needs and they helped me achieve my fitness and nutrition goals after having my 4 kids! Their extensive knowledge of flexible dieting is a great bonus. I am in the best shape of my life and I have them to thank for encouraging me to keep going. Even on the days I feel the worst, I just go and always come out feeling less stressed and stronger. My husband has seen how happy I am and how far I have come and he has also started training with Dave and Jon. Life changing!

Fantastic experience: When I walked into Underground Fitness almost 2 years ago I had no idea that I would meet a personal trainer named Jon Dudzinski and my life would soon forever be changed. After gaining a lot of weight and going through a depression, I tried exercising at home, going to the "big" gyms and doing it on my own. Not only did it not work but I pretty much gave up on everything and soon after I was told by my doctor that I was pre-diabetic and if I didn't do something soon that diabetes would become a reality, and that is something I refused to let happen. I walked into Underground Fitness in October of 2014 and after my first workout with Jon I knew this was the best decision I could've made for myself!! I have dropped several sizes and the diabetes is no longer a major concern!! Jon has helped me get my self confidence back and I feel better than I have in years!! The workouts are personalized and the nutrition help has been amazing. While the workouts are tough, I don't feel pushed beyond my limits and I feel great and always look forward to the next one. I am able to do things that I never thought I would be able to do and I have not only changed physically but there have been amazing, positive changes in every aspect of my life. All of the trainers in the gym are very friendly and they all have a genuine concern for their clients. Jon is very encouraging and motivating and I can't help but look forward to my next workout! Jon is an amazing person and a great trainer! Jon is not just my trainer, he is also my friend and I appreciate EVERYTHING he does for me!! Thank you Jon and Underground Fitness!!

Fantastic experience: The Underground Fitness team has really helped get me on the right track with exercise and diet. Not once have I dreaded going to a session for the entire three months I have been with them. I've worked with both Dave and Jake and they both are very energetic....they push you and give you the motivation you need to accomplish your short-term and long-term goals. If you are looking for a personal trainer, I would highly recommend Underground Fitness!

Fantastic experience: I have never stepped inside of this place before, but it's been life changing for me. My husband walked into underground fitness last March to kill time while I was getting a massage next door. He met Dave Bess, an amazing trainer at this location. He helped my husband set up a training and meal plan, but his commitment to my husband goes much further than that. They text each other everyday and my husband reports his successes and struggles. Dave is an encourager and motivator. He also likes to kick his ass during some sessions, especially when my husband tells him he's taking a cheat day or not following the plan during vacation time. My husband has tried exercise and diet things his whole life with minimal longterm results. He is learning skills and habits that will last a lifetime. I'm writing this review today because together they set a plan last March for my husband to lose 50lbs by 50. He met his goal this week. That's 3 months prior to his birthday. Underground Fitness and Dave Bess have been the most amazing blessing we ever could have prayed for. I truly believe that he has added years to my husband's life and changed the quality of his life forever.

Fantastic experience: I always had intentions to develop my physique and have tried reputed fitness centers, home gym etc but never was able to achieve consistency due to my health issues. Walked into this place last Sep as it's very close to my house to see what they got. I never thought this guy I'm about to meet will change my life, people call him Dave Bess but to me Dave the BEST. In just 3 months, my body was transformed to the best shape of my life. Dave guided me through every workout. He understands every persons strength and weakness and designs workout that would work effectively. With my poor lower back, I was able to workout every part of the muscle in my body without hurting myself....many times I felt I must be dreaming. It's an awesome feeling when people ask "are you working out everyday man", but I do only 2 or 3 times a week here. The routines are dynamic that covers whole body and there is something beyond just training in this facility that makes me feel COMPLETE, only Dave would know the recipe. Last few weeks, I'm working with Jake Page and this guy is about to steel Dave's spot in my mind pretty soon. Jake knows the tactic, the muscle mind connection and certainly our own abilities. I can't imagine not going to UGF ever. He is very passionate in what he do and does it right. He always makes sure every muscle move is done right so we get the 100% results. Typically, the muscle tightness lasts for hours after workout but with Jake it's pretty intact until next workout...feels amazing! Jon trains a lot of folks there and he is down to earth personality and an amazing trainer too. I'm always in debt to Dave for his support and encouragement, without that I would be just a normal guy!!! This place has become more like a family to me and I feel great to be there every single time. Certain things we gotta try for real than just talks and this place would be a perfect example. Stay Fit!

Fantastic experience: Started training at underground with Dave and John. work out with a good group of guys. I look forward to coming into the gym everyday. The training techniques are fun and knowledgeable. Dave's knowledge of nutrition has really helped me see a lot of progress. This has been a unique workout experience that I would definitely recommend to other people looking to get in shape. Dave even went above and beyond when he came to my house and showed me how to cook a healthy meal. The entire staff is great with people and you can really tell they care about the success of all of their clients.
