Fantastic experience: Shark Sports and Fitness is a great gym the staff is welcoming, friendly and very knowledgeable . If looking for a personal trainer I highly recommend Johnny Saenz. He has helped me transform my body. I have had incredible results. Johnny has helped me with my muscle definition and weight loss . He is knowledgeable and passionate about fitness. Johnny does a great job preparing you for not needing him in the kitchen or the gym by giving you all the tools to be successful on your own. I have learned so much and this is the first time I have ever said” I love my body.” Thank You Johnny

Negative experience: I've attempted to call this place 6 times over the last 2 months to get information about training and can never get in touch with anyone.

Fantastic experience: Let's keep it real here. Sharks sports has been one of the best gyms I've been to. The staff know their stuff, and the facility is always clean. If you're looking for a Macro coach or just a top-notch trainer. I seriously recommend it!!! 5 star all the way! Or just a low-key gym, this is it.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this gym to anybody serious about their fitness goals. I have been going to this gym for about 2 years now and have shown significant improvement in my confidence and my body. I used to be skinny and now I’m jacked. The support and kindness of all staff here, particularly my personal trainer Art Cordova, have helped me get to where I am today. I couldn’t have done it without this gym. Check it out today!!!!! First two pictures are before Sharks Sports, and the rest are during!

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym November 2023 and continue to keep going until this day. Ever since I signed up, the gym owners (Gabe and Art) welcomed me with open arms. Every time you walk through the door, they always have such a positive energy that makes you want to show up and move your body everyday. Even though, I do not have a personal trainer, they always let you know if you have any questions whether that be nutrition facts, a certain form of a workout, or even just to chat, they are always there. Not only do they treat you as their client, but they also treat you like family. Thank you for everything!

Fantastic experience: Shark Sports is more than just a place to work out – it's a community that feels like family from the moment you walk in. The staff here are incredibly encouraging, and the early morning 5:00 am crew never fails to motivate me to push harder. I switched to Shark after a drop in session, and I’ve been members ever since. Joining Shark Sports has been a game-changer for my fitness journey, and I only wish I had joined sooner!

Fantastic experience: Sharks is a special gym. have sent Gabe and Art my 80 year old parents and my teen children to help learn how to lift/lift safely. Words do not express how impressed I have been with their knowledge, patience, focus on technique, but also in making it fun, empowering, and instilling confidence in what their bodies can do.

Fantastic experience: Had a great workout with Johnny! I haven’t worked out in a while and he brought me back into the inspiration of getting back into shape! Beware of his leg days! They are challenging and he will push you to your limits!

Fantastic experience: Despite its small footprint, the Johnny Express delivers big results. Its size makes it ideal for home use, fitting seamlessly into any space without sacrificing functionality. Versatility: Whether I'm focusing on cardio or strength training, Johnny offers a diverse range of exercises to target every muscle group. From resistance bands to bodyweight exercises, it provides a comprehensive workout experience.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym, Great Trainers! Definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: I had a GREAT experience at this gym, specifically with my trainer Johnny Saenz, but everyone I’ve encountered has been very friendly and welcoming! I cannot say enough good things about Johnny as a trainer. He pushes just the right amount to make sure you are progressing, but not too much to where the experience becomes unpleasant and you don’t want to go back. The energy for our sessions is always high and fun, while also being challenging. You can tell he genuinely cares about you as a person, and you’re not just another hourly rate. He becomes invested in your success and genuinely wants to see you reach your goals. He is also open minded and willing to work with you, or consult his peers for advice to get you the best results possible. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym to get some work in. None of the commercial gym nonsense here. Happy to have found this gym while I was in town for the day that helped keep me on track with my powerlifting meet prep. Definitely would recommend to anyone who is looking to get stronger in the Tucson area.

Fantastic experience: Shark Sports is the best gym in town! Gabe Cordova has personally helped me drop nearly 50 pounds, and helped me to achieve my jiu jitsu goals by working on my cardio and strength training.

Check out Sharks Sports!!

Fantastic experience: Came here today with a buddy. Great vibes in this gym. Owner was nothing but nice.

Fantastic experience: I dialed in to what was prescribed to me and let me tell you! The best results I’ve ever had with a personal trainer! These guys know what they’re doing when it comes to nutrition and training. They taught me how to count my macros the right way and gave me a personalized plan. There’s no cookie cutter here. They are also really big into teaching proper lifting techniques. Their knowledge in fitness is very valuable. They truly care about their clients safety and long term sustainability! Friendly environment with a pretty awesome vibe. If you want to place on stage these are the guys to go to! If you want to maintain a healthy lifestyle, these guys are also the people to invest in!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Tucson. Gabe’s the man.

Fantastic experience: Awesome facility! I was in town for work and Shark was exactly what I was looking for. Great, responsive ownership and a super vibe-y gym. Had a great lift there and I'm looking forward to stopping by the next time I am in town!

Fantastic experience: Art and his team are incredibly knowledgeable and focused on helping their members achieve the goals they set for themselves. The staff and members are respectful, and create a great environment to train. One of the best places to train in Tucson.

Fantastic experience: Session with Gabe was INCREDIBLE! Very detailed, explained clearly..I am pumped !

Fantastic experience: If you want a gym with no big box gym nonsense , this is it. Every level of person can come and not feel judged . Its more of a gym home. I am doing the nutrition program here with Annie and it's going better then my past attempts to get on track. She is knowledgeable and just super nice. She listens. Met Gabe one of the owners and he also was just a nice guy. They do starting into to fitness all the way to competition level work. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym owned by great people. If you’re looking for a gym with a variety of equipment, knowledgeable trainers, and close-knit community— this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: I love to recommend this gym to everyone. They are always clean, friendly, and considerate. Between the cold beverages and the amount of equipment, I can’t say anything bad about this gym. I never have to wait for a machine to be available and if I ever have questions or need help someone is always there with no problem. I was super intimidated to start going to the gym after having my son but this place has welcomed me back with the best motivation!

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing, the energy here is great. Sharks gym has a laid back friendly vibe. The trainers there are very friendly. The equipment is solid and they have everything you need to get a full body workout. They even have dojo mats and equipment for practicing your self defense classes. Overall this is a great gym that’s very diverse. This is coming from someone who has memberships at 8 different gyms.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Tucson by far!! The atmosphere, the staff and you'll love the darker lighting! Very personable owners and staff with extensive knowledge base! They'll help you get where you need to go for your goals.

Fantastic experience: Shark sports is my go to location whenever I need to prepare for a tournament or super fight. I am a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but I am a white belt in strength and conditioning. Thats where Gabe, Art and the rest of the crew come in. They are amazing with their clients and keep them accountable. My dad and sister have even joined the Shark Team and have seen amazing results. They may not be the cheapest gym out there like Chuze or planet fitness, but you will not get the same results. Always remember, a good service is not cheap, but a cheap service is not good.

Fantastic experience: I would never go to another gym. The owners are great and actually care about your well-being the members and staff all with the same mindset as well. Hands down the best gym in Tucson

Fantastic experience: I have been going to sharks sports and fitness for a long time now, Gave and Art and are some of the most genuine people you will ever know, if I had a question about the gym or anything, I would ask them and they gladly give me their insights, I can proudly say that after all this time this is the Premier Fitness Training Facility for anyone from a beginner to the more advanced bodybuilder, you will not leave disappointed when you come visit and check out this facility

Fantastic experience: Best damn gym in Tucson.. staff knowledgeable friendly, experts in their craft. Best investment I’ve are in myself trusted in the hands of these true professionals would give 10 stars if I could results speak for themselves

Fantastic experience: Tried out shark sports after a few recommendations and the appeal of an early open (4am) fit well into my schedule. Very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable with a no-nonsense attitude in regards to getting the very best out of their clients. Not just the owners but everyone working here has the same mindset to fitness/kindness. Breath of fresh air in comparison to bigger corporate gyms Try them out for yourself, you won’t be dissapointed. #supportlocalbusiness

Fantastic experience: Great gym.

Fantastic experience: Premium training, great people, atmosphere of growth. Get some!!!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym I kept coming back to for day passes during a prolonged visit to Tuscon! It's a local gym that has a friendly atmosphere, doesn't get too crowded, and has everything one needs for the beginner to the serious lifter. The vibe was motivational with great quotes and pics placed throughout the gym. There were equipment and attachments that a lot of gyms lack which was cool to find here (i.e. glute ham raise machine, hip thrust set up, chalk, 3 power racks, mag attachments, etc). Definitely would come back!

Fantastic experience: Friendly professional successful and the best in town!

Fantastic experience: The Best in every way!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere! Staff cares about client development and is always friendly and helpful! Great place for all fitness levels!

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've found. Well equipped and the staff is incredibly friendly with unquestionable expertise. An amazing lineup of trainers available.They keep membership under control so it's never crowded. The members are very cool too. People are friendly but are serious about training. Everyone willing to help if you need it. Veteran owned and vet friendly.

Fantastic experience: Staffed by humble professionals with hearts of teachers. Get in while you still can!

Fantastic experience: This gym isn't like the rest. It is a great facility. There's several squat racks, adequate dumbbells, oly platform, rubber plates, chalk, treadmills, rower, prowler, tire, cable machines, etc.. There is also has a large cemetery right across the road to run at which I took full advantage of while I was there. I was only in Tucson for several days, but it felt like I've been going to that gym for years, not only are the owners incredibly friendly and helpful but everyone who trains there is also very friendly, the members of this gym act as if they're part of a team and everyone in the gym is part of that same team. I've been to many gyms and I can say this is hands down the most welcoming and friendly gym I've ever been to. If you're unsure about joining this gym I recommend stopping by and having a chat with the owner and taking a look around. I will be coming back to Tucson in time and will certainly be coming back to this gym.

Fantastic experience: Amazing atmosphere! Great gym with two great brothers that are always there to push you and help!

Fantastic experience: Everybody is super friendly and helpful. The gym's environment is very fun, safe, and motivational. I really recommend this gym for people of all fitness levels.

Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked into the gym from the time i left...people were amazing...friendly staff...Stephanie is awesome had a great first time workout with her...she is very knowledgeable..and pushed me to my full potential!! Cant wait til next time ;-)

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with even better trainers!! It's easy to tell these guys know what they're doing, from the mats to the free weights! I always have a great experience and an even better lift!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is (especially art & gabe) so welcoming, supportive, and incredibly encouraging. It's my happy place ☺️

Fantastic experience: The best gym Tucson has to offer! All the trainers provide amazing knowledge and everyone is extremely friendly and not to mention helpful. I used to know nothing about lifting weights and after training with Art and setting me up with a great fitness program, I can confidently walk up into any gym and feel the pump! With the help from Art and the amazing support at Shark Sports I was able to take 2nd place in my first body building competition this year. I have learned so much throughout my training thanks to Shark Sports and I am so excited to see how much more I will accomplish with this amazing team that has become my second home and family!!

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. Its a place where you can have all the support you need in order to meet your goal. A place that makes you feel welcomed.

Fantastic experience: Not a typical "big box" gym. Geared towards focused people with different goals on different levels. Always clean.

Fantastic experience: I have been to many gyms in Tucson, Shark is by far the best. Great community behind the gym, everyone is there to push you to get yourself to the next level. Everyone wants to see everyone succeed.

Fantastic experience: I had a really positive and welcoming experienxe here! My friend brought me along for an evening boxing snd technique class and I really enjoyed the people and the atmosphere. Coming from a different gym myself, I appreciated that my experience there didn't focus around just getting me to sign up, but rather to get a good workout in. I would love to come back and weight train because they have a sweet set up here!

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a new gym experience and a friend referred me to shark sports. I came in and was greeted personally by the owners Gabe and Art Cordova. These guys blew me away with how welcoming and comfortable they make you feel coming to a new gym. Art has years of experience bodybuilding and Gabe has been training in jiu jitsu since getting out of the army combative team. These guys are actively helping me accomplish my goals and It is great to know I have people who genuinely care about helping me reach them. I would highly recommend joining this gym and they do offer a free trial for your first day to see if it's the place for you.

Fantastic experience: Started coming here at the beginning of the year and my time at Shark Fitness is usually the best part of my day

Fantastic experience: Awesome trainers awesome facility just all-around awesome.

Fantastic experience: This Facility is great, recommend giving this place a try, you will NOT be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: They have all the things you ever need to get big and strong. The brothers running the gym are very helpful. Obviously it's not as cheap as commercial gyms, but there are good reasons for it. If you like it simple and direct, this is the place for you. Oh and they also offer boxing and jiujitsu classes.

Fantastic experience: I personally know Gabe. You will never meet a nicer guy! So dedicated and truly cares about fitness and his clients' goals!

Fantastic experience: This is such a great and supportive gym! The brothers that run this place, Art and Gabe, are awesome and such a pleasure to work with! I much prefer working out at Shark Sports and Fitness, rather than the big commercial gyms that get really crowded. In fact, I drive accross town everyday just to workout here, since I don't live close to this gym. All the other gym members I've gotten to know here are really nice, too. This gym just has a great family vibe to it where everyone, owners, trainers, and gym members, looks out for and supports one another. Also, this is a multidisciplinary facility to match whatever your fitness goals may be: bodybuilding, powerlifiting, jiu-jitsu, boxing, weight training, general training for health, etc. Come check this gym out and give it a try!! You won't regret it!!!

Fantastic experience: I always look forward to working out here. This is a great gym, Gabe and Art are very helpful and knowledgeable, and are motivated to help you reach your goals. Definitely worth checking out if you're serious about getting in shape.

Positive experience: I took a tour of the facility while also having spoke with both of the brothers Art and Gabe. I believe they have created a very relaxed yet high energy facility that you feel at home training at. It has a local brotherhood type feel. you can hit the weights, flip a big tire, push a power sled or even roll/grapple on the mat and learn or practice new skills and techniques. I was impressed with the diversity and depth of experience and knowledge that both of them bring to the sports and fitness field. true sharks forever moving forward.
