I dropped in to the Volition group training class a couple of times while visiting Tempe. The classes were challenging and interesting, and Jose and Derek really took the time to ensure I was up to speed on new exercises and the format of the class. The atmosphere was extremely welcoming and casual while still pushing the group to perform. Plenty of 1:1 attention as well. Highly recommend!

Took my first mat Pilates class with Tyler a couple weeks ago and absolutely LOVED it!!!! Difficult class and great instructor all round; super knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what he does while being extremely personable with clients, overall excellent class. Highly recommended coming to this gym and taking his class, will be telling all my friends about it:))

Tyler’s class at Volition was hands down the best Pilates class I’ve ever taken—and definitely the most challenging in the best possible way. It pushed me without ever feeling impossible or intimidating, which is a rare balance.Tyler kept the energy up the whole time with great stories and a fun, engaging style that made the class fly by. He also took the time to give me appropriate suggestions on how to tweak certain movements to work around my injuries, which I really appreciated.I left the class with a new appreciation for Pilates and recommend this class to anyone who is looking for a great workout!

The team at Volition is here to help make you feel better. They offer weight lifting, yoga, mat pilates, and mobility. Something for everyone.I attend the group training at 5:30am and everything is carefully thought out. They also offer modifications if you need them.I have taken the Xplor class with Jose. Think of this mobility class as a great stretch. When you leave at the end of class you are able to move better than when you entered. I will be attending again.

I’ve been coming to this gym for a bit now, and Tyler’s mat Pilates classes are easily the highlight. His energy is contagious, the vibe is unmatched, and you’re dripping sweat before you even realize how hard you worked. 10/10 recommend taking his class if you haven’t yet.

This gym wasn’t the right fit for me, but it works well for others.The pricing felt more like a luxury gym, while the hours were representative of a small business - closed on bank holidays, two weeks around Christmas, and with several days each week unavailable for workouts. As someone who works a corporate schedule, I would have loved to work out on those many bank holidays.Yoga and mat Pilates are not included in the membership, and the space itself is very bright with loud music and lots of conversation. As an introverted person, the strong emphasis on socializing felt like pressure rather than a perk. Workouts are filmed for social media, which I wasn’t aware of beforehand and did not know about until I found pictures and videos of myself on Instagram. Photography was not disclosed and required opting out.There are only two treadmills, and the focus is on lifting. Multiple classes run at once in the same room (usually 2-3 trainers with 5-10 clients each) which can feel crowded.On the positive side, the trainers are knowledgeable and emphasize safe, proper lifting technique. The environment is very social, which some people will enjoy, and the gym is especially well-suited for stay-at-home parents, as babies and toddlers are welcome during midday classes.Overall I am happy for those that find community through this gym. I am now at a place with dim lighting, many treadmills, and no photo ops.

Fitness, Community, & Support is what this gym is about. The owners and staff embody it!My other half works out here and I decided to see what she was getting into, so I attended a small group session with her. It was structured well, and Jose gave me some solid cues to improve one of the more unfamiliar movements as well.Safe to say, I approve, and I will send anybody I love or wanting to enjoy a safe, structured, growth minded, fitness program to Volition Gym.Gage17 years- Ex-Pro athlete, Strength Coach, LMT

This place is awesome. I love that they have different classes.

I recently had the pleasure of joining a yoga class led by Mercedes, and it was an absolute game-changer—especially since it was my first session in nearly two years! From the moment we started, Mercedes created such a welcoming and supportive atmosphere that made jumping back in feel effortless and enjoyable. Her guidance was spot-on, blending gentle flows with mindful breathing that helped me reconnect with my body and release built-up tension. I left feeling energized, centered, and genuinely inspired to keep up with my practice. If you’re looking for a yoga experience that’s both rejuvenating and approachable, Mercedes is the perfect instructor. Highly recommend—thank you for an amazing class!

Such a great gym! You can tell they’ve put a lot of care into the programming and really think ahead about what members need for their fitness and longevity. I took a class coached by Jose and he had such great energy and made a point to help every client personally.The Pilates/yoga studio is an awesome addition and makes it feel like an inclusive and holistic space. I'm very impressed and will be back!

Had an amazing time doing the group coaching class with Jose and excellent tour from owner Derek. This place has an amazing vibe that felt warm/inviting yet got me pumped to workout! They gave us the time of day to chat with us and we felt super comfortable here. This place is very convenient to get to as it's off the 101 and has a variety of classes they offer.What is even better is that they are super knowledgeable and fluid with their training and can really help people with modifications to prevent injuries from occurring. They just opened their new Yoga, Pilates and Mobility classes to really provide a full spectrum of movements to meet you wherever you are at!Loved it here!

Jose at 5:30am was amazing!! So fun and so knowledgeable and 10/10 playlist!!!! It was my first class and everyone was so welcoming, can't wait to come back!

2026-01-24T19:41:44.283Z

Such a welcoming gym! I’ve taken group classes and Xplor mobility classes with Jose, who is incredibly knowledgeable in both training and mobility. The entire coaching staff meets you where you are at while still pushing you in a supportive way. I feel stronger and genuinely look forward to my workouts. Highly recommend!

2026-01-24T18:27:57.974Z

Jose is the BEST! I did a group class with him then mobility and I feel fantastic. He is so precise with his technique in both classes. I was challenged but he met me where I was at and supported me as needed! Thank you, Jose!!!

Jose is the best movement coach in Phoenix hands down. As a former college athlete I do my best to take care of my body and Jose does a great job of cresting a plan that both stretches and strengthens. Couldn’t recommend more.
