Great gym. Staff is the friendliest ever, especially Zane, Alyssa, Izzy, Nick and Kenzie. They are very welcoming to everyone whom enters. They also acknowledge people when they are leaving the facility. The gym is very nice, clean, organized, equipment is well laid-out in facility, lots of machines, free weights, classes for all types of fitness needs, basketball court, long lap pool, hot-tub, sauna, steam room, it's a full on workout facility. I joined and would highly recommend to everyone.

I recently visited the VASA Fitness at 43rd and Thunderbird for a 3-day trial that I found on their website. Overall, the facility is quite large—spanning over 60,000 square feet—and provides a wide variety of amenities like the boutique STUDIO RED and STUDIO LFT spaces, which are prominent features of their "Studio" level membership. ​On a positive note, the gym was impressively clean and well-organized. The free weight area was tidy, and the Olympic platforms were clear of chalk and debris. I also noticed that the "Revive" area was in great shape; the massage chairs and tanning beds were spotless and fully functional. While the pool and hot tub were open, the sauna and steam room were closed for maintenance, which was clearly indicated by large signs on the pool deck. ​However, the experience with the staff was inconsistent. Since no one was wearing a name tag, I spoke with the personnel manager on duty. When I arrived, he was discussing the conversion of the cinema room into a new group exercise space with some members. While he was polite and gave me a very quick verbal rundown of the layout, a formal guided tour was never offered. I was essentially left to wander the facility on my own to figure out where the different amenities were located. ​The sales process felt unpolished as well. I had to proactively ask for membership information. There weren’t any brochures or business cards available, so the manager printed out a basic price sheet for me. He gave a very brief explanation of the three tiers—Basic ($9.99), Fitness ($19.99), and Studio ($39.99)—but did not dive into the specific value of each or help determine the best fit for my routine. ​My biggest concern was the front desk coverage. A second employee was on his phone for about 60% of the time I was there, and at several points, the front desk was completely empty while the manager was elsewhere in the gym. It felt insecure to have the main entrance unmonitored for those stretches. While the facility is well-kept, the lack of proactive engagement and professional follow-through made the visit feel underwhelming.

I have been going here for a little over a year and I’ve loved it. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Alexis has been my personal trainer from the beginning and is my biggest cheerleader. She is the very best and I couldn’t have asked for a more caring or encouraging trainer. I was new to the gym scene when I started and was very nervous about it going in. However, Alexis has done the best job in making me feel comfortable in my own skin and growing in my confidence. Thank you!

Joining VASA was honestly intimidating at first tbh, but Ashley and Genine made all the difference! From day one, they created such a welcoming and supportive environment that helped me feel comfortable getting back into the gym after having my daughter. Both of them bring so much energy, encouragement, and positivity to every class. They truly make an effort to connect with people, learn names, celebrate progress, and create a sense of community that goes beyond just showing up for a workout. What started as instructors motivating me through classes has genuinely turned into friendships that I value. The LFT and RED classes are challenging, fun, and accessible for all fitness levels, but it’s the people leading them that keep me coming back. (shoutout to Blake too!) If you’re looking for a gym where you’ll feel supported, encouraged, and welcomed; especially if you’re returning after a break or navigating a new season of life—Ashley and Genine are exactly the kind of coaches you hope to find!! Highly recommend! 💕🫶🏾🤸🏾‍♂️

I love all the coaches at the Thunderbird location! I have taken a variety of classes and different times based on my work schedule and everyone is professional, welcoming and supportive in each class. I prefer classes over solo work outs because the coaches are there to help and motivate you. I do purposely take classes with girl coaches (my own preference as a lady) but now and then I have taken them with male coaches and they’ve been just as professional. These are the coaches I have taken classes with and enjoyed their coaching: Geniene, Ashley, Alexis,Carlos , David, Chanel, Stevie, I have not been to a class with every coach due to my schedule but I’m sure everyone else is just as amazing! This location is always clean, and the renovations are great! I love the new equipment, set up and classes. The Studio membership is worth it for sure.
