Best gym in the city

I found this gym back in December and it has been life-changing. I have never been able to stick to a workout routine, until I met VŌLITION. It’s a family vibe in here, no one slips through the cracks. The coaches are personable, and the small group classes make it so you get plenty of one-on-one attention. I am amazed how far I’ve come in just a couple short months. Would recommend to anyone.... More

Have dropped in to this gym a few times now, coincidentally always on Thursdays, which is their ENDURO days, and have had an awesome experience each time. First is super easy to get to right off 101 and University, plenty of parking, and multiple restrooms to change into workout gear (was coming straight from work one time). Was greeted by Derek Arellano (believe he is the owner) each time and he gave me a quick run down of the class structure, showed me the equipment, and got me prepped for class. It is a really large space, I’d say bigger than most CrossFit spaces, and all the equipment seems new and in great condition. The enduro classes I’ve attended consist of four pods, each with two or three movements. You select three of the four pods, each consisting of a 12 Minute AMRAP, and rotate after each 12 minute segment. Nice being able to omit one of the four as I was coming off a few straight leg days prior so i was lucky to do the chest, back, and cardio movements. Each 12 minute AMRAP is well programmed for quick transition between movements with cardio thrown in. They have Rowers, Ski Ergs, Echo Bikes, and Treadmills for cardio so rad variety and ability to mix it up. One thing I like is the ingenuity of movements and deviation from your standard movements you’d see in a CrossFit gym day in and day out. For example today’s class we had landmine clean and presses in one pod… which quite literally engaged the entire body and had me gassed at the end of each set. I don’t think I’ve ever done a landmine in another gym group fitness hym. In addition to Derek coach Kayla on the floor so awesome to see them assisting those less experienced with the various movements, and really pressing the members that want to torch it. Im a fairly experienced gym goer and drop in around the Southwest as I travel for work most weeks and this place is one of the top spots I’ve crossed in my travels. Thankfully I live on Tempe town lake and can bike over whenever. Friendly staff and members and a hell of a workout. Will be back for sure. OH and there is a freaking smoothie shop attached to it, how convenient is that! Tight tight tight. Less

Well, where to begin… Volition is the first fitness program that I can throughly say I LOVE. After 19 years of consistent weight lifting experience it’s is so new, so challenging and most of all it is FUN. I’ve been around the block, tried every program, done every fad and “hardcore” program from powerlifting to bodybuilding and since I started with Derek and Volition a year ago, my body has never responded so well (started in small group training, switched to online program after moving to CA 3 months ago). It’s difficult to describe but over these past 12 months I have built a strong, athletic and proportional physique that not only looks good but FEELS good. I feel strong, capable and most of all, competent. My lower back issues have disappeared and no more fearing pulling a weird ligament when I bend over to pick something up. From in-person to online training, Volition is absolutely unmatched . Could not recommend anything more.

Workouts are designed to help strengthen muscles of the whole body and are not the typical 3 or 4 day split workouts. Highly recommend Volition to anyone who wants to start the workout routine and life style but doesn’t know where to start or is tired or those packed gyms. Classes at all times of the day make it super convenient to get a solid workout in no matter what is going on in the day to day life. A community for life. Less

Volition is the best small gym atmosphere i’ve experienced! When I was in search of a gym atmosphere similar to college athletics as a retired softball player, I decided to give Volition a shot after Derek reached out, and it was the best choice i’ve ever made! The flexible schedule and different workout styles to choose from is amazing. The trainers push you to be your best and get strong while ... More

Volition is the best small gym atmosphere i’ve experienced! When I was in search of a gym atmosphere similar to college athletics as a retired softball player, I decided to give Volition a shot after Derek reached out, and it was the best choice i’ve ever made! The flexible schedule and different workout styles to choose from is amazing. The trainers push you to be your best and get strong while working functional movements. Great for beginners or long time gym goers! 10/10 recommend! Less

I have always needed accountability to help me be consistent with the gym. When I started my fitness journey I began in a Crossfit gym - I loved that I was able to move heavy weight, fast with a community of others around me. Unfortunately, the accountability lacked when it came to learning proper form and I ended up hurt and unmotivated to try something different... Until I met Derek, he TEACHES... More

I have always needed accountability to help me be consistent with the gym. When I started my fitness journey I began in a Crossfit gym - I loved that I was able to move heavy weight, fast with a community of others around me. Unfortunately, the accountability lacked when it came to learning proper form and I ended up hurt and unmotivated to try something different... Until I met Derek, he TEACHES me movements that BENEFIT my body both in the present and future. I go into the gym excited for the FUN (no mundane schedules) new challenges he presents without the fear of hurting myself. Every single workout is something different but sticks to his consistent programming. I love feeling empowered and strong in the gym and there's nothing quite as empowering as lifting or doing something you thought you couldn't do - PROPERLY. Every movement or challenge I accept helps to give me a little extra boost of pride after every workout. Best part is that his small group classes are the perfect amount of people to create an atmosphere where everyone helps everyone but there's still that edge of friendly competition to do maybe one more rep... or one more round and THAT IS COMMUNITY I crave in the gym! The other Volition trainers, Kayla and Andrew, are there to step in and help if you ever need it, too! I am just so thankful I found this trainer, this gym and these people. Where there's a will, there is a way and that WILL is VOLITION! Less

Derek is an amazing trainer. Derek takes the time to understand each of his clients unique needs and caters to each of his clients- he doesn’t have a “one workout routine” fits all mindset. Derek is very patient and when you don’t understand something he never gets short with you, he will always take the time to break the movements down for you step by step, no matter how long it takes you to und...

Derek is an amazing trainer. Derek takes the time to understand each of his clients unique needs and caters to each of his clients- he doesn’t have a “one workout routine” fits all mindset. Derek is very patient and when you don’t understand something he never gets short with you, he will always take the time to break the movements down for you step by step, no matter how long it takes you to understand the movements. Derek is truly the best of the best at his craft and it’s because he practices what he preaches and leads by example. Less
