Luna Fitness of Tempe

At the age of 48, moderately disabled by chronic daily migraines and arthritis in my neck and knees, I never imagined looking forward to working out on a near daily basis. I now love to sweat. Past forays into gyms and fitness centers always left me discouraged and injured. Now a member of Luna for a several months, I look forward to my near daily workouts and the gyms amazing staff. Best thing, my migraines have diminished in frequency, intensity, and duration. Now-a-days my body is continually evolving, becoming stronger, energized, and sleeker. Skye is an amazing owner, trainer, and stretch therapist blessed with a magical touch. Stretch with Skye has profoundly altered my physical well-being and significantly decreased my migraines, healed old injuries, and given me new faith in my ability to be truly healthy. Luna also offers Pilates with thoughtful and highly skilled trainers. I can't say enough positive comments regarding my Pilates training with Alex, it is totally life changing and I'm discovering a ?new me? every time I work out. Luna also offers a host of services designed to heal, strengthen, and treat the whole you. Consider countless classes in spin, yoga, Zumba, step, nutrition, stress management, just to name a few, and all free. I always look forward to a massage with Sam; she has a healing touch and knows how to work away trouble spots, tension, and stress. Old, young, slim, flabby, fit, nutritionally challenged, or just tired and stressed, everyone is made to feel welcome. Luna=Life Change more

The group fitness classes are the best! Luna offers everything from Yoga, to Zumba, to weight lifting classes. My favorite is Power Barbell with Julie, who teaches Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings. Her classes have literally transformed my body! I highly recommend :) more

I have been going to this gym for years but I recently started working with Gabi, a personal trainer. She is really awesome! I have had several surgeries on my hand. She is creative enough to keep me entertained and is gentle enough where my hand isn't hurting the next day. I feel great working with Gabi, and it is one of my better decisions that I have made. more

I left my gym and joined Luna because of my Piates instructor, Alexandra Prince, she is wonderful! i have tried pilates with many teachers and she is the best!!! so good that i decided to pay more a month and give up a gym with a pool to follow her. if you like a small quite place to workout this is your place, this is women's only gym so you will not have men around when you workout which for a lot of us is a bonus. the equipment is old, as well as the TVs but I really love the group fitness classes, both the Zoomba instructors are also wonderful as well as Stela the other pilates instructor, i haven't had a chance to try spin yet but hear its good too... They did mess up my payment date in the beginning but it was fixed after i called and complained... all in all an o.k. gym but is worth it if you like group fitness as a big part of your workout, I know Alex/ Pilates is worth it for me :) more

\r \r \r \r \r \r \r Aug 11/11 beth says\r \r \r The best GYM Ever\r \r I was working out at another gym when my Pilates teacher made a move to Luna fitness ,and it has been the best move ever you are not just a number there it is much more personal ,people who truly care about your health and alax my pilates teacher is the best if you want to get into pilates go see alix at luna fitness more

Alix J is a great trainer. She is able to show me work outs that are tailored for me. Also, after just using these exercises for a month I can see great results. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a great trainer who will motivate you to reach your goals. more

I have had a ton of massages for my bad back. I have NEVER been put to sleep in any massage EVER. I have had 3 wonderful massages by Sam. YOU MUST GO TO HER AT LUNA FITNESS. She has such a great personality too. You won't be disappointed, but in fact you will be hooked. Best, Shannon more

I have been going to Luna Fitness for about 3 months now. I really enjoy the yoga and stretch classes and am just starting to crank it up and take some higher level classes. I feel really comfortable here; most people are really friendly. The instructors are all great! The best thing I have done is some stretch therapy sessions with Gabi. Yes, I feel great when it's done, but the most incredible thing is that my tailbone, which I have had issues with since I was 16 years old (a very loooong time ago), no longer hurts when I lie flat on my back. In fact, last night I noticed that I can even bring my knees to my chest and rock myself forward to a sitting position...I didn't think I would ever be able to do that again, even after many sessions with chiropractors. I am very happy!! more

I HAVE NOTHING BUT WONDERFUL THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THIS PLACE. I had been in a really bad head on car accident when I first returned to Luna. I had numerous back injuries, a surgically repaired wrist and a numb left side!!! I think I may have even cried the first day I meet with Alex. I was afraid I would never be the same. I hurt and I was depressed. Alex and her wonderful Pilates reformer have given me back a sense of confidence. And I can move!!! She challenges me -- all the time reassuring me that I can do it and I she will not allow me to hurt myself. I am back up to the Pilates reformer once and week and walking 2 or 3 times a week. I feel SO MUCH BETTER!!! And it shows everywhere in my life. I just love this place!!! Everyone is genuinely interested in your well being and health. AND IT IS ALL GIRLS!!! WE ARE NOT THERE TO IMPRESS ANYONE!! I would like to thank each and everyone of the staff. They always make you feel welcome, cared for and important. And especially to ALEX---thanks so much for your time and reassurance. Julia Reeves more

Working out isn't easy and I have always felt uncomfortable and intimidated going into the gym. EXCEPT FOR NOW!! Luna is a great gym filled with ""real women"". I now enjoy working out and look forward to going to Luna! My trainer Alex J is amazing! She challenges me and keeps me motivated. I really feel that my life has changed for the better since I began working out with her. more

I am thankful for having Julie as my trainer at Luna fitness. She keeps the work outs challenging and constantly motivates me to do better! I am pleased at the results and look forward to working with her.\r Thank you Julie!! You rock! more

sam gives a wonderful massage and I felt great when we were done! she makes sure she accomodates your needs and I would definitely recommend Sam Manning, she is awesome!\r \r marilyn davis more

Julie is a fantastic trainer. I have been working out with her for quite some time. She always finds ways to keep me motivated, continue improving, and enjoying the process at the same time. Thank you, Julie! more

finally, i found a place that offers more than treadmills and dumbbells. i scoured the internet in search of a gym that i could feel comfortable enough to expose all my insecurities and shortcomings. luna is that and so much more. i joined about 4 weeks ago & can't believe how warm, supportive and down-to-earth the staff is (or when that became a surprising characteristic for a gym). i was lucky enough to be shown around by SUE, who has more energy & fun per square inch than most people i know. my trainer, ALIX, has been incredibly kind, encouraging and patient with me while i work through not just weight loss, but the psychological reconstruction of my self-image. SKYE, the boss lady, made sure to do amazing stretch-therapy work on me & helped remind me that everyone has their weaknesses to work on. immediately i was drawn to SAM (the massage therapist), joining the team behind the desk occasionally. her sense of humor, compassion and acceptance helped me feel very welcomed and at ease. sam's massages.... are other-worldly. this coming from a self-reported 'massage-snob' who's paid untold hundreds over the years... definitely worth your time to get on her table & transcend into a higher-level of relaxation. ;) if you have ever wondered about a women's gym being the right place for you... all i can say is that, as important as the physical fitness aspect is, the warmth and sense of community at luna is truly what keeps me coming back. i can find a room full of gym equipment just about anywhere. but those women, and the concept of their gym -- you may not find a better place to let down your guard and do the dirty work of self-improvement than at LUNA FITNESS. more

I have the best trainer at Luna, JULIE. Julie kicks my butt and keeps me motivated every week... I am impressed with Julie's knowledge and her ability to still work me out hard, even though I am nursing a shoulder injury. I feel fortunate to have her as a trainer and love the results!! Thank you Julie.... more

I recently visited Luna Fitness and my experience there was great. Julie Bakeman invited me to attend her barbell class on Tuesday evening. I will admit I was a bit nervous....I am not very cordinated and have not worked out in a really long time! Once I was there, I realized there were women of all fitness levels and ages there and I felt very comfortable. No matter what your fitness level is, you will find what you need at Luna. I highly recommend the class and the facility is great and offers a lot of services. I am looking forward to going back! more

I met Sue and Skye at a networking group called S.E.V.E.N. that meets at Luna Fitness. Sue has gone above and beyond to help me and acquaint me with the facility and services. She spent over an hour in our initial visit and found a membership that worked for me and my budget. The vision and work Sue, Skye and the team have for women is life changing. more

What an AWESOME Massage. I have had a lot of massages...so many fantastic ones...so many not so great... I am sure I am spoiled by having a business partner who does Amazing Massage. You are now on my short list of FANTASTIC massage therapists. Samantha YOU ROCK !!! Hugs, Kathy more

I had back pain and Gabi was my trainer .She was very helpful and nice to me .During my stretch session she was very good.and give specific exercise to help me .thank you Gabi for help me out more

Last week, Alix J trained me for about one hour. I was quite amazed that she was able to discern my weaknesses where I would be needing specific training (of course, she emphasized my strengths too). During the course of this training, she has not only shown me, in detail, how to train myself in each of these specific exercises, but she has also discussed with me concerning the general well being of a healthy life style. Alix J is a young lady--cheerful, courteous and competent in her profession. I like her very much. more
