I’ve had Shanita as a personal trainer for a few months now and she’s awesome. She knows her stuff and she’s willing to explain things to you so you know how to do the exercises properly, and with good form. She’s super upbeat and has an awesome personality; she’s also very motivating. I’ve alreadg starting to see progress since working with her. The atmosphere overall is just awesome they’re, super inviting, and friendly. I love going to my sessions with her. I would highly highly recommend her :)

I have been working with Lauren for a few months now, and she is amazing! Every workout I have done with her has been different and fun. She pushes me out of my comfort range to work out but not too hard in that I don’t feel that I can achieve it.She is positive and encouraging, and has made every workout enjoyable. She is a competent and smart trainer, and I would recommend her to anyone.

I’ve been training with Shanita at AZBB for a few months now and I absolutely love it. Her workouts are challenging yet fun and I’m already seeing results, not only in myself but her other clients too. She not only provides a diversified workout guide, but an accommodating meal plan as well. I’m currently training for my first NPC show so she also provides the specific competition prep I need to be ready. Shanita is energetic, excited, and a dedicated trainer. You’ll be happy you chose Team AZBB.

Results, Results, Results! Stop playing around with your workout and really commit to the work. AZ Bodybuilding and trainer Shanita Patterson is AMAZING!!! This gym and trainers are the cream of the crop! Such a wonderful, non-intimidating atmosphere. The support and knowledge is unmatched. You are not a number in a mega gym, you are a member of this private gym family. Don’t get stuck in the same routine, as each and every workout is different. The biggest and most important piece is the nutrition plan! Abs are made in the kitchen, and Shanita Patterson will make sure you are on point! If I could give this gym 11 stars I would!

I've only been with AZBB team for 4 months and I am so happy with the results I got. Not only it gave me better results overall but it got me to 2nd place when I competed in recent NPC bikini competition and I qualified to compete on a national level. AZBB personal training people are so friendly and it's a great environment. Coach Cane is very positive and my coach Shanita is very supportive and knowledgeable from meal plans, supplements and of course pushing you throughout the entire workout sessions. Looking forward to our training for nationals! Cheers!

Thanks for my coach Shanita who is an awesome trainer as well a very good friend. I decided to find a personal trainer on September, 2017 because I felt my past gym routine were not working with me. So I thought I need some professions to help me and one of my friends recommended AZ Body Building to me. I checked the place on Tuesday, started working out that day, and I felt it was very good. As an ASU students, AZ Body Building is an excellent place for personal training. It’s very close to Tempe campus. Even I don’t have a car, I still come two to three times a week. Coaches are very friendly here, they would like to hear clients’ requirements and questions. I always asked my coach questions about how my body works and what food I need to eat or not to let muscles grow faster. She will write notes what I do today and explains to me why these movements help. I really happy to work out with her and other friends. Also, we do my body measurements every month to see the results and keep working on the weaker part for next month. The measurements help me improve my confident and tell what I need to focus on later.

I have been with AZ Bodybuilding for about a year and a half. From the moment I walked in the doors I have been impressed with their facilities and the trainers. When I started, I met Coach Ty, who helped me to understand the commitment and the desire necessary to achieve the results i sought. I am a 60 year old man who wants to compete on stage. Coach Ty who has competed understood these goals and worked with me to set up a program During the time I have been with AZ Bodybuilding they have treated me as part of a family. Every time I walk into the facility I am greeted with a smile and then the hard work begins. The gym has a motto "60 minutes of INSANE PAIN". The trainers due work you hard, but that is what you are there for. You will get out of the training what you put into it. It is important to follow their instructions, the diet, and the workout programs to achieve the goals set. I have had the pleasure of observing other trainers in the gym and have been very impressed. Any female who is looking for an excellent trainer I would recommend Shanita. It is obvious that she has the best interests of her clients at heart and wants them to achieve incredible results.Anyone knows that an older man has a more difficult time of building muscle. However, along with my Trainer Tom and a perfect diet program I am seeing the results i seek. We have made adjustments in training and the diet during this time, and Tom is willing to listen and assist me to maximize my potential. Tom and I work as a "team" to achieve the results I seek from my training. My body has changed dramatically during this time and I am very thankful to Tom and the rest of the AZ Body building Staff. Thanks Coach Ty, Tom and Shanita for making my experience at AZ Bodybuilding one of the best in my life. AZ Bodybuilding and their professional staff is higher than just "5 Stars".

I have been a fan of bodybuilding for a large portion of my life, and at several points in my life I set a goal to diet and compete in a bodybuilding show, but on my own I always failed. It was too easy to make excuses or let life get in the way.Last September (2017) I decided to give it another shot. I started the process on my own and set a goal to be ready for the Dennis James Classic in May of 2018. By the start of the year it was evident that I needed help. While I consider my self knowledgeable in diet and exercise I knew that without coaching I wouldn't get very far.In February I found the team at AZ Bodybuilding and at 16 weeks out from the show we began the process.Coaches Tom and Ty put together a diet plan to take me from start (where I was overly fat) to finish (shredded and stage worthy). I attended the weekly posing classes where they adjusted my posing form and took me from being horrific at it to being able to hold my own on stage. And weekly I would work out with Tom who would push me hard when I was too depleted to push myself.The process was grueling, and I'm not kidding when I say it is the hardest thing I have ever done both physically and mentally. I know for a fact I couldn't have done it without the team at AZ Bodybuilding. They gave me the tools to succeed, all I had to do was "trust the process".On May 28th 2018, a little over 2 weeks before my 37th birthday, I competed in Classic Physique at the Dennis James Classic and took home 3rd place. I felt I had won just making it to the stage, so to place top 3 was icing on the cake, and I owe it all to the AZ Bodybuilding team!

Tom is a great trainer. I have had 5 trainers in my lifetime and he is above and beyond the best I have ever had. He gives you the tools via proper exercise technique and diet to reach your goals. I have been very impressed with what I have achieved in 1 month (lost 10 lbs and an inch off my waist and lost 2 to 3% body fat). If you are willing to put in the hard work and follow the diet, you will get results.

In October of 2017 I made the decision to enter my first Physique Competion. After researching I decided to hire Coach TY for my competition Prep. Coach TY and all his staff have exceeded my expectations! At 45 I can honestly say that I'm in the best shape of my life. Coach TY has also re-introduced me to my long lost friends....my abs! So if your looking to get to that next level with your fitness, or simply looking to get into better shape, AZ Bodybuilding is the place for you.
