Thompson Peak Performance

Fantastic experience: Stephen is a competent trainer that tailors every workout to your changing condition. The hour is what you make of it but effort will produce corresponding results. I made real strides while I was there.

Fantastic experience: Very nice gym. The place is always clean they have a lot of good equipment. Personal training is great, I have got a lot of great workouts out of it and learned quite a bit. Me and my sister’s trainer Steven is a great dude, always nice to talk to and pushes us to our limits.

Fantastic experience: I have trained with Stephen multiple times over the last 10 years and he never fails to kick my butt. I love that it’s never the same old thing, he’s always switching it up on us and I know I will always be sore the next day (which I love). Thank you for always being supportive and an awesome human. I look forward to seeing you again soon!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym . Stephen is always accommodating towards my needs and goals . The energy is super motivating .The aesthetics are great . Definitely will be back !

Fantastic experience: Stephen is one of the best trainers I’ve had! Amazing customer service and ALWAYS on time. Would 100% recommend ☺️

Fantastic experience: We love TPP! Fantastic training, if you have performance, health, or aesthetic goals, Thompson is who you need!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Steven for 10 months now and I’m getting and seeing results! I never leave a workout feeling like it wasn’t a challenge. Sets are changed up frequently so it doesn’t get boring and I’m always sore after each session so I know its doing what it’s supposed to. Scheduling is flexible and gym isn’t overwhelming with tons of people. Highly recommend if you need someone to hold you accountable if your not a natural gym head like me.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Stephen 3 months ago and it has been one of the best decisions I have made for myself! I have always worked out on my own but needed some direction and advice with regards to my goals. I have seen more results in the last 3 months than I have over the past 2 years training on my own. I like the atmosphere at the gym and I feel very comfortable.

Fantastic experience: Stephen is my trainer and honestly he’s the best. He will tell and show you how to do the workout. He leaves it to you to get your workout done, doesn’t hover but also will encourage. As a female I’ve had trainers who have been honestly really hard on me and like I was doing everything wrong or would make me uncomfortable. I don’t have that anymore. This gym is just a grate atmosphere with people who all have the same goals but can laugh and chat with you as well. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Just hit the big 40 this year and decided I was going to take back my health and start working out, but this girl is great at talking herself out of a lot of things so the typical self-starter gym membership was not going to cut it. I've been there failed that many a time. I found Stephen through searching on Google and Insta and decided to schedule a consult after reading all the positive reviews. I am so glad I did! I just finished workout #5 and I am already feeling so good! Long way to go yet, but I am very grateful I found Thompson Peak Performance. I can already tell there's a positive change in my body, my sleep is better, my anxiety is lower, and my migraines are gone! As an entrepreneur I need to not only get in shape, but it's also wonderful to have an hour to just zone out and focus on self care. Stephen is literally the perfect trainer. He's supportive and kind with the right amount of "get after it" push. He's very personable and customizes each workout so I feel challenged. He's very cognizant of when you can do more and how to accelerate your progress in the right areas, all while being able to carry a friendly convo so the time just flies by. The gym is so well organized and clean. Nice small private space so you feel comfortable and welcome. I love that Stephen offers private training as it really gets me motivated and also holds me accountable for showing up and doing the work. Can't recommend TPP and Stephen enough!

Fantastic experience: I’ve always worked out on my own but decided to add a trainer to the mix to change things up a little bit. My husband was training with Stephen so I decided to start training with him as well. Stephen is good at helping you figure out and work towards your goals. He’s personable and makes working out fun. He motivates and pushes you to try just a little bit harder! I definitely recommend Stephen whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting out on your fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: Stephen is an excellent trainer. His instructions are clear and his motivational method is perfect for me. I am seeing consistent improvement week after week. I have never made such significant gains so quickly on my own. My progress is much faster because of Stephen’s expertise.

Fantastic experience: Thompson Peak Performance has a great facility and an encouraging trainer. He is all about making the best out of each workout with motivation and praises you for your accomplishments. Over all Stephen is an amazing person with a passion to make you stronger!

Fantastic experience: Stephen is the man! Have enjoyed working out with him 3 days a week for a year now. I’ve seen great results. He’s reliable, never cancelled a session. Cool smaller gym with everything you could want.

Fantastic experience: Don’t wait to workout with Stephen! My husband and I have been training with him for a year now and have never dreaded a single session. Stephen is always pleasant, an all around great guy. Nice, clean semi-private gym with all the equipment you could ask for!

Fantastic experience: Stephen is the best personal trainer. I am seeing results and my body feels great! The gym is in a perfect location, feels private, it’s clean and fully equipped. I highly recommend Thompson Peak Performance to get fit and strong. Thank you Stephen for your ongoing encouragement and support!!

Fantastic experience: I found Stephen late last year. Very unique and personalized workouts never disappoint! You just let him know what you would like to focus on and Stephen delivers results. I was very happy to see such quick results myself. I look and feel great. Very clean, organized and friendly gym. Do yourself a favor and get started today, you won’t regret it!!

Fantastic experience: I started training with Stephen Thompson a couple months ago and it’s changed my life. He is extremely professional, kind and motivates me to push myself. He listened to what my goals are and works with me to accomplish those goals and so much more. I look forward to each workout and know that I’m with a true professional. He makes working out fun!

Fantastic experience: I have a membership to a fitness center, but I go here for resistance training. John Wilcox is my trainer and he's one of the best. I've had 6 or 7 trainers over the last 11 years, and John is tops! I highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: Phenomenal coach and trainer. I work out with Stephen 3x per week and he always keeps it fun and engaging while accomplishing our training goals. Great for any age client with any fitness goals. He also trains with my wife and teenage kids.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Stephen for 3 months and have made some serious strength gains. His workouts are always interesting as he mixes things up and really understands the body.

Fantastic experience: I did group training with Stephen this summer and he was a great trainer! He was very encouraging and flexible with my schedule! He always had a different workout planned and made it very enjoyable!

Fantastic experience: Stephen does an absolute amazing job of listening to his clients and helping them achieve their goals. For far too long, I tried to “wing it” when it working out and never saw the results I wanted. In my short time working with Stephen, I have been nothing short of impressed with how he truly cares for the success of everyone he works with!

Fantastic experience: I’ve worked with many trainers over the years, no one has cared or took the time like Stephen does. Super excited to continue and keep working towards my goals.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Thompson Peak Performance! Stephen is great!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Stephen for 5 months now and my only regret is not finding him sooner. When you first meet with him he takes the time to talk to you about your goals etc. It is in a semi-private gym so often it will just be us which is nice and each workout is different so you will not get bored!

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Stephen to anyone! Professional and knowledgeable and ready to help with whatever physical goals you have!

Fantastic experience: I don’t think any trainer will ever compare to Stephen and I’m so glad my friend referred me to him. He’s the kindest, most passionate, and encouraging coach/trainer I’ve ever had. He doesn’t just restrict his help to your scheduled session time and has no problem sending you a workout to do at home on your own time if you ask. He’s always thinking about what equipment he can try to bring in that will help and be of benefit to his clients. I never thought I’d be able to do the Olympic lifts or stick with a consistent gym routine that’s early in the morning, but Stephens been the one to get me to where I’m at. And he makes the sessions so much fun and the workouts are what I look forward to every week.

Fantastic experience: Not just another Trainer - Stephen is anything but “another Trainer”. What makes him different? His dedication to his Clients and their personal growth on their schedule. Working with Stephen has changed my overall thought process to weight training or training your body in general. He takes the time to look at your nutrition, he watches the way your body reacts to each different exercise he gives you and makes corrections to form or weight as needed. He’s really “all in” when working with a Client. If I could clone him for all my Friends & Family outside of the Phoenix area… I would.

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Thompson Peak Performance! The trainers are all educated and it's very easy to see that they want you to reach your fitness goals as much as you do! I come here for athletic performance improvement, being both a tennis and volleyball player. They've helped me so much with muscle strengthening, dynamic movement, and cardiovascular endurance! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for instruction, accountability, and encouragement related to accomplishing fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: I have had many trainers over the years, and I can say with confidence, that Stephen Thompson is one of the top trainers in Arizona. Not only is Stephen an expert in physical fitness, he is also an expert in nutrition, rest & recovery, and motivation. A key difference that I noticed about Stephen, is that he takes the time to really know his clients and genuinely cares about us. By doing this, Stephen meets me where I am and knows how to keep me motivated, knows about my past injuries- to ensure that my personal program strengthens these injuries for full recovery, and develops a program that is designed specifically for my success. I am a busy professional that travels frequently and a mother, Stephen provides flexibility and accommodates my life, such as providing workouts or recovery sessions that I can do while I travel. As I continue to age, it is very important to me to maintain my bone density, muscle mass, flexibility, and cardiovascular health, all so that I can continue to enjoy my active lifestyle, participate in the life of my future generations, and to live each day to the fullest and filled with joy – Stephen Thompson is the perfect partner for this journey.

Fantastic experience: Stephen’s workouts are amazing. He always changes it up and keeps things fresh. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Stephen is the best!

Fantastic experience: Stephen is the man! I’ve learned so much about my body these past few months training with him. First off, he spends time reviewing your goals, nutrition, work background; he then gauges a path that is absolutely tailored to your needs. I started at around 253lbs working out with him and over 2 months, dropped 8-9 lbs. totally rebooted my mindset and jump started me back to success! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: As a former athlete with experience in traditional weightlifting and HIIT programs, I decided to hire Stephen to help make fitness a priority in my life again after a few years of personal and professional distractions. He’s an incredibly intuitive coach with the rare ability to push you to your limit while keeping workouts fun. I’ve seen huge gains in the last few months from a strength, cardio and weight loss perspective. I look forward to my sessions and can’t recommend him more highly for anyone regardless of fitness level or ability. One of the best decisions I’ve made this year!

Fantastic experience: Stephen loves what he does and it truly shows in how he treats his clients. He genuinely cares and wants you to succeed in achieving your goals. He individualizes a work out plan that is specific to your needs, goals, and expectations. He encourages you in an uplifting way while keeping you accountable. He helps with diet and meal planning and is available for questions, tips, or even just encouragement! He is such a nice man and I love working out at the gym and feel confident I’ll achieve my goals with him behind me The gym is spacious with tons of equipment. If you are looking for a great trainer, Stephen is your guy!

Stephen is one of the best trainers I've encountered throughout my career. He is professional and has a genuine passion for improving the lives of his clients.

Most importantly, he is a very likeable person and will make your workout fun and enjoyable!

Fantastic experience: Stephen is fantastic! I’ve been training with him for almost a year now and I’m getting the results I need. Grateful.

Fantastic experience: If your looking for a trainer that is very passionate about what they do then look no further. From the moment you first meet Stephen you can automatically tell he is passionate about what he does. He also has a big love for people and helping them achieve whatever goals they may have in and outside the gym. Personally I've tried to work out on my own. I find it's hard to stay motivated that way. I don't think I push myself as hard as when I train with Stephen. I always feel like I get a great workout when I train with him he even let's me complain while I do it lol. What more could I ask for in a trainer.

Fantastic experience: I came here to get some help with workouts because it's very intimidating getting started, and Stephen the owner of the gym was willing to help me with different workouts and exercises. Really just helping me in general with the whole world of exercising. Overall Stephen is very kind helpful, runs a great clean gym, with a great vibe to it overall. Highly Recommend it!

Fantastic experience: 10/10 Amazing. Stephen helped me so much I am forever grateful for all he taught me and pushed me to achieve. He worked with my crazy schedule, never guilted me into showing up only encouraged and motivated. He never acted frustrated or upset with me if I fell off track, just gently nudged me back to being better and reminded me of my goals. Not only is he an outstanding motivator and trainer but he is one of the best humans I have had the pleasure of knowing. Never has my body fat % ever been so low, I can’t wait to train with him again!!!

Fantastic experience: Since day 1, I felt like my personal goals and values as an athlete where valued at an all time high. Stephen has provided a safe place to continue to grow. The gym is spacious, clean and has top tier equipment for anyone who wants to come in and better themselves. I highly recommend having Stephen as your trainer if your are a beginner or an expert when it comes to weight lifting/physical training. As someone whose preparing for college basketball, I have learned a ton of new things and strategies to better my lifestyle through Stephen. Highly Recommend, definitely worth the 5 stars!

I have seen my son grow not only physically but mentally as well. Stephen is the man for all your fitness needs!

Fantastic experience: I’ve known Stephen for many years from a previous gym before opening Thompson Peak Performance! When deciding to get back into shape recently, he was the first trainer I thought of! I trust his expertise! He’s very knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition and knows exactly how to encourage and push you towards your goals! He customizes each workout to my abilities. The gym is amazing…great location and equipment, and lots of elbow room!! Everything you need!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out with Stephen for a number of years at this point. He is extremely enjoyable to be around, calm, and patient. For me, he was able to do the unthinkable, which was to unwind my years of lower back pain and hamstring tightness that I had been suffering from due to my day job of sitting in a chair. He has been able to assist me with tightening my core and increasing my flexibility. I am and have been pain free, and Stephen was a pivotal part of that improvement. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: Stephen is an awesome trainer! I like the workouts he comes up with for me and the variety he puts in them.

Especially when it comes to going to the gym. He is positive , keeps me motivated, and works with me to reach my health and fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Cher said “fitness… if it came in a bottle, everybody would have a great body”. We must work to have great, healthy bodies and Stephen is the man who knows the secret. His calm encouragement, his knowledge of the body and what it is capable of puts him at the top of his field. Stephen not only trains your body, he knows best what kinds of food should fuel it. I’m 63 and one-half and thanks to Stephen, you could bounce quarters off my butt. I had no idea I was capable of things that I do now without thinking. Having Stephen train me is the best decision I made this year, and one I plan to continue. Come in, meet Stephen, you won’t be disappointed. And.. if you see 63 and one-half year old with a great butt, say hi.
