Independence Gym is hands down one of the best training environments you will find. The atmosphere is motivating, the equipment is top notch, and there is plenty of variety no matter what style of training you are into. What really sets this place apart is the community. Everyone here is supportive and driven, which makes showing up something I actually look forward to.
The staff keeps everything clean, organized, and welcoming, and you can tell they take pride in making this more than just a gym. It is a space where you can push yourself, grow, and feel part of something bigger.
Of course there will always be others who do not agree with reviews, and that is their opinion. That happens everywhere. At the end of the day, the best way to know is to try it out yourself. I am glad I did, and I can honestly say Independence Gym has been an amazing place to train.

I have loved my time working out at Independence! The staff is always very friendly and helpful, the facility is always very clean, and the members practice basic gym etiquette. I highly recommend this gym if you are serious about working out.

Tried the 3 month membership. I enjoyed the equipment and the owner is a nice guy. The manager is rude and needs to go back to customer service 101 classes. She stopped me in the middle of my workout to show me the future fees. When I told her I needed a minute to process it and think about it, she said we will see you right after your workout. Needless, to say I gathered my work clothes and left right after. I felt embarrassed that she did that during my workout and she was not very friendly. She did not have to handle future members like that. I went a mile down the road to ANYTIME Fitness. They are very friendly, at Anytime Fitness.

This gym has been like a second home to me since 2013. It’s one of the best in the Valley, and I’ve built lasting friendships here. From great workouts to great conversations, I’ll always have love for this gym. The environment is respectful, with members who value proper gym etiquette, to staff that value genuine connection with members. This is something that sets it apart from many other gyms in the valley. I’m truly grateful to be part of this community.

Gym is nice. Equipment also is decent.
The only complaint I really have is there are no amenities. It's the same price as mountainside but you get no steam room or sauna which is a pretty big downside to me.

Independence Gym in Scottsdale is much more than just a regular gym. It is a true temple of bodybuilding, with outstanding facilities, top-tier equipment, and an atmosphere that inspires every athlete to push their limits. The environment is both welcoming and challenging, perfect for those who take training seriously.

I had the honor of visiting this iconic place and was surprised by an unforgettable experience. I personally met three giants of the sport: Derek Lunsford, Samson Dauda, and Brandon Curry, all Mr. Olympia champions and top-tier role models. They were training there with humility, focus, and kindness, proving that true greatness lies in those who inspire without needing to say much.

Seeing these legendary athletes up close left a lasting impression on me. Derek, with his intensity and warmth; Samson, astonishing in both size and charisma; and Brandon, a perfect example of strength and grace combined. Independence Gym is not just a gym β€” it is where the legacy of bodybuilding continues to be written every single day.

Great gym, been going for a few years now. Very no nonsense and affordable. You won't pay for unnecessary amenities like spas or group classes here. Always has plenty of equipment available even at peak times.

There is one caveat, and it's more of a preference thing: the clientele is very much more on the serious bodybuilder/model side of things. Everyone is very nice and friendly, though, but if that's not your vibe it might not be the place for you.

I liked this gym at first because of the wide variety of equipment. As I’ve continued to workout here, I’ve noticed a very pretentious vibe from the staff and the gym goers. The gym is marketed to people getting personal training and to body builders/Instagram gym bros. I am not in the greatest shape, but I’m trying, and I do not appreciate the dirty looks or snide comments from the staff and others when I’m just doing my best and putting effort in. Additionally, a large jeep scratched my car BAD in the parking lot, which is disappointing. I won’t be going back, would rather take my money to somewhere more inviting and less instagram obsessed.

Visited Independence Gym during a recent trip to Scottsdale. Very nice and clean gym, and the week pass is really affordable ($45).

Way better than using a hotel gym. Machines are legit and there are a ton of serious lifters there.

Gym itself is clean, welcoming and well equipped. Also working out with my personal trainer Kaelin (found her in Thumbtack site) in the last 9 months has been great. She is knowledgeable and flexible with your changing goals and schedule. She is a certified trainer and also has a degree in Nutrition so I often discuss with her my diet and she gives good tips and also recommendations for supplements.

Independence gym was my first gym back to working out after so many failed solo attempts. I signed up to train with Tiffany and I haven’t looked back since. The staff there are always so kind and helpful no matter if you’re going at 5:30 in the morning or 5:30 in the afternoon. This gym environment is unlike any other, it’s always so friendly. Those chain gyms just don’t compare.

I highly recommend training with Dillion the bossman to get that natural peach you always wanted. I Literally went from stick to thick from not wanting to show my PEACH to walking in the gym stunning.. I noticed gains 1 month in they were unbelievable I never even thought i could get this far but Dillion pushes you through each workout and make sure it gets done.. He also has meal plans through an app that gives you recipes and organized grocery list on everything you need for your meal plan. The morning sessions he has are also great and is a good day to get off that bottom and. start off your day!!

He also really cares about his clients unlike other trainers just be snatching money out people pockets he focuses on the gains and actually shows you how to do the exercises step by step.

My boyfriend had told me β€œMy PEACH getting FAT I been putting that work in” I must of laughed and said no this is ME working with Dillion the great gettin this work in. I feel more confident than ever since i started working out with Dillion going on 5 months. He’s really good and flexible around your schedule making sure you get your workout in! I suggest you to give him a call now and schedule that free session! Get them gains!!!!

Independence is a great gym. I have been coming here for over two years now. It's great to see familiar faces and be around great energy in the gym. Whether you are super experienced or not, Independence is a welcoming place for all. Derrick, the owner, has put members' dues to work and made several updates to the gym in the time that I've been there. Love this place and everything about it.

This review is about my experience working with trainer Tiffany LeRoy.

The gym itself is amazing, all the staff are so kind and helpful. The only reason I am giving a 1-star review is because my recent interaction with Tiffany LeRoy. She has been my personal trainer for over a year, and everything had been amazing up until today. I always pay up front for one month of training, sometimes two months, because she insists upon this and makes it her standard. I had to cancel my training because I am moving out of state in a few days. This has been an unexpected move to say the least, and I have MANY unused training sessions which she has refused to give me my upfront payment back for services NOT rendered. Rather, she said that if I want any of my money, I'll have to enroll in her online personalized training!? This does NOT sit well with me. I paid her up front for over a year and I am moving out of state, and she insists on keeping my money for services not rendered...not professional at ALL. Be hesitant of paying trainers up front, especially this one!

She has made a few of the girls upset in the past that I've trained with and now I see why they are no longer training with her.

Note: I see another gentleman wrote similar review about having to cancel for unforeseen circumstances and a trainer deciding to just pocket the money for services unrendered.

Just keep in mind that if any emergencies come up like an illness, force to move, death in the family and you can no longer go - meaning if any LIFE situations come up - and you need to cancel your training before having used your sessions, you will NOT get a dime back.

I do not appreciate having the feeling I'm being taken advantage of especially after spending so much time with someone, let alone money. I've learned a HUGE lesson here.

Unethical & unprofessional business dealings by this trainer! Additionally, she began to grab my arm and stand in front of me as I tried to exit the gym and skip out on my last session, which I was so excited about. I repeatedly told her to stop touching me, but rather than complying, she followed me to my car.

Rant over. Otherwise, Independance Gym is a good workout facility.

Great gym, great owners and staff. There's a ton of controversy currently going on with a former trainer that has been kicked out of the gym and unfortunately the gyms name is getting some bad press being associated with it. It should be known though that they currently have no ties with him whatsoever since kicking him out of the gym. I love it here. Love the atmosphere, the equipment and feeling like I can always get a great workout any time of the day.

Independence gym is a safe haven for a lot of people that are on a path of self care in a physical manner. The staff and peers are so caring and helpful of one another and make you feel apart of a growing family and community here in the valley ; they make you feel welcomed. The Owners are one in a million. They give great advice on workout routines and diet plans and overall life. They’re very nice a welcoming and cares a lot for the people and staff that are associated with independence gymβ€”independence gym is arguably the best gym in Scottsdale and quite possibly the valley. The atmosphere it gives off just makes you feel you’re doing something right. I strongly and highly recommend this gym.

This gym has a pretty fierce reputation around the valley for very very fit and attractive people. Their equipment looks absolutely top notch and their trainers all seem to be really talented.

Good (better than most) gym.

Kind of balanced between the serious people training and those that just live in Scottsdale. IYKYK.

Good/diverse equipment. Lots of unique machines/equipment not available at other gyms. Could use a new Ohio bar or two. "Dedicated" Deadlift bars with no knurling left, what gives?

Decent amount of bodybuilders in the place, surprised there are no real coaches here. Seems odd to me.
The trainers they have just turn the place into Barry's bootcamp with group coaching. I've only seen a few trainers even do a 1on1. Multiple group classes can occur at once so you have to be aggressive to get some equipment.

Solid no frills fully loaded old school gym. Most everyone in here is here to workout their muscles not their mouths, it's motivating to be around others who look good and work hard. If you like to watch TV while you do cardio don't come here. There's a turf area for sprints, full Olympic stations with bumper plates for heavy lifts. Place is rarely crowded and if you time it right you never have to weight for free weights or machines.

I brought my friend with me whose in much better shape and the trainer just flirted with her the whole time. He was also 20 minutes late for our scheduled appointment. The gym was horribly overcrowded too. Awful experience, would never go back.

I travel quite a bit so I went on Google maps to find the best gym in Scottsdale. Independence gym came up. Independence is an amazing fitness center that has CrossFit equipment, cardio machines as well as enough weightlifting equipment for any serious bodybuilder. It has a fantastic atmosphere and it makes you feel motivated to go to the gym. Derek the general manager even welcomed me and we chatted. I would highly recommend working out at Independence.

The trainers here ruin what would otherwise be a fantastic gym. Walk around like they own the place because they pay "dues" to train people there so the gym can call them independent contractors instead of employees, then do "circuit training" with groups of 4+ clients at the same time on half the equipment in the gym and try to intimidate you for having the audacity to try to get a workout in

Pretty sweet gym. Nice workers. Lots of very fit people. Day pass is a little expensive. $12 is a little much. They have unique equipment such as a safety (squat) bar and a belt squat machine. Overall a pretty clean nice intense gym.

Been coming for about 3 years now. No-nonsense gym with solid equipment. Nice variety of training modalities from heavy dumbbells to oly platforms, track work to functional training. This place has it all.

So, I'll start by saying the facilities are great. Excellent selection of equipment, pretty well laid out. If this gym were empty, I'd give it a solid 5/5 no questions asked. The actual gym staff were very nice in all our interactions.

However, my partner and I were frustrated by the clientele. Specifically, at most hours of the day this gym is often times dominated by trainers and their multiple concurrent clients. These "group" fitness programs would occupy entire sections of the gym and multiple pieces of equipment at a time for long periods of time, making it difficult to use those areas of the gym. It always felt as thought they thought they had priority over everyone else and interactions with them were awkward, tense, or flat out rude. Trainers also frequently left equipment set up with weights on them, didn't rerack their weights, or would spread their personal belongings all over the floor near different machines (making it hard to know what they were actually using) and act strange, annoyed or offended if you asked whether they were using something.

The trainers themselves frequently made my partner uncomfortable with their behavior and eye contact, and FREQUENTLY obviously touched or caressed clients in a way that was incredibly inappropriate and unnecessary. As an example, the biggest offender, @RyanThrive (and his devotees), often grabs or holds clients (mostly women) butts, touches and held client's chests, and constantly had to touch or caress his clients on the shoulders, back, waist, and legs during his training sessions every time he is talking to them or passes by them. I really mean it when I say it is constant. It came across as inappropriate flirtatious behavior if not straight up sexual harassment. I guess they must have an agreement about all that between themselves, but, as a fellow gym occupant it seemed very inappropriate and made me and my partner very uncomfortable. This was not unique to this particular trainer, many of the others also did the same.

So, beware if you come here you need to come either at opening or closing times during the week, or early/late on weekend days if you hope to enjoy the gym fully without the flocks of strange Scottsdale "alpha-bro" trainers and their clients. After 6 months we have decided not to renew our membership.

Great gym. Plenty of well maintained equipment. I go at off peak hours so I have no problems with getting access to the squat racks or deadlift platforms. Employees have always been pleasant and accommodating when I request a TV channel. Don't need much else.

Went with my son to try it out and it was great. The staff at the front counter were great! They have great equipment. Old school and new pieces as well. I wish I lived closer so I could justify a membership. I will go back again for sure!! Cant say enough about the cleanliness and the great setup.

Worse Gym ever! The people at the front desk are very rude, and act like because they work in Scottsdale that gives them the right to be completely disrespectful and completely rude!!!! I would never suggest anyone workout here. The vibe is not very friendly, and completely unprofessional.

Can you dig it. A gym that has absolutely everything. The folks that work here and workout here are just amazing folks. The trainers are THE BEST IN THE VALLEY. Most of all its where we can get buff swole and or just maintain the bodies dynamics. I love the way they greet you and maintain everything within never have had an issue with anything at this gym unlike the other corporate guys. This gym makes the gym industry different from the rest. Slide in and check it out for yourself. #Scottsdale #Gym

I've been working out at different gyms all over the country for the past 8 years (all price ranges) - Independence gym easily offers the best bang for buck. Happy Customer for over 2 years now!

Gym has a decent selection of machines, weights, and functional gear. Customer service sucks. Stood at the counter for 15 mins when I first went to sign up. Eventually a woman came and helped . Needless to say there was a guy standing there the whole time talking to his buddy. Thought he was just a gym rat. Nope he worked there and couldn't be bothered to pause his conversation. This is a common occurrence as I have gone to the counter countless times and get the same attitude or like I'm bothering them.
