I've been a member for about half a year. This gym is a friendly and well maintained gym. It's 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!

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?!

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

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, I've improved balance and core strength considerably. Can't wait to see what I feel like after the next 3 sessions.

They don't respond well to new ideas for improvement. They have improved and doing better now.

I've lived on just about every side of the country and this gym is truly something awesome! Amazing staff, great equipment, and it's 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.

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

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

Update: September 24. Four bench press stations 0 bars available. Where do the bars go? Why aren't the enough to be used as expected? Please ensure they stay st each station, or provide extra for all the expected needs.

Hey management, let's get enough bench press bars for all the equipment and lifters during peak times. Need at least three more at the pantano location.
Also, maybe update your business website so members can contact you directly.

Another one of those gyms

I 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 I'd be given an option to continue it if I liked the gym. The gym wasn't 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 you're thinking about attending this gym, just make sure you know exactly how to cancel and don't listen to a word they say. Me personally, I don't like to be in bed with manipulative, lying, unhelpful people. Its not worth the headache.

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 I'm not there to socialize but there are a few that just stare at people with RBF. I'm courteous and rack my weights and wipe down equipment after using so I'm 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 7/5
Was 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 don't 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.

Fans blwoing full blast over every part of the gym, even the weights. I don't want to be freezing when I'm trying to sweat and keep my body warm. That's 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 they'd rather not deal with my request.

The equipment is top notch, but a lot of the time it's very crowed and you have to wait to use the piece that's on your list. The trainers are excellent! I miss the pool and jaccuzzi a lot. My reason for leaving is that I just don't 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!

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

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

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 she's going to be on American Ninja Warrior!) I wanted to find a place where I could get some effective interval training workouts, but I didn't 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.

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

Great gym with friendly staff. Has lots of free personal wellness seminars and classes.

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

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.

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.
