If you are looking for personal training in Mesa, Queen Creek, or Gilbert, Arizona Performance Institute delivers more than workouts. We deliver a structured, performance-driven system built by physical therapy and sports performance professionals.

Whether you are an athlete preparing for competition or an adult ready to take control of your fitness, our coaching is individualized, intentional, and results-focused.

What Sets Our Personal Training Apart

1. Built on Physical Therapy Principles

Most personal trainers focus only on workouts. At Arizona Performance Institute, our foundation is movement quality. Our background in physical therapy and sports performance allows us to assess how you move before loading you aggressively.

That means:

  • Fewer injuries
  • Smarter progressions
  • Long-term results
  • Confidence under load

We do not guess. We assess, program, and progress with purpose.

2. Individualized Programming

No templates. No random circuits.

Every personal training client receives a customized strength and conditioning plan based on:

  • Current fitness level
  • Injury history
  • Mobility restrictions
  • Performance goals
  • Lifestyle demands

Whether your goal is fat loss, strength development, Hyrox preparation, or general performance, your program is built specifically for you.

3. Performance-Driven Training Environment

Our 6,000 square foot facility in Mesa is designed for real training. Turf lanes, strength equipment, sleds, free weights, recovery modalities, and space to move.

This is not a crowded commercial gym.
This is a high-performance training environment.

You train with intention. You train with structure. You train with accountability.

4. Injury Prevention and Longevity Focus

One of the biggest reasons people quit training is injury.

Our approach integrates:

  • Strength training
  • Mobility development
  • Stability work
  • Progressive overload
  • Recovery education

We help you get stronger while protecting your joints and keeping you moving long term.

  • Adults who want structure and accountability

Excellent service - much better than traditional PT offices. Huge facility and the actual PT stays with you for an entire hour each appointment. I've gone 10 times now, and it's been great each time. They really take time to listen to your concerns and issues and tailor a plan to suit your individual needs/goals. Highly recommend!

Having a background in PT and being a Phoenix Fire Department Captain with a very physically demanding job. I was searching for a PT clinic that could get me performing my job duties again after having knee replacement surgery. I can say Brady is top notch! He listens to his patients and adjusts the therapy intesity accordingly. On top of that, he's just a nice genuine person. After just 3 visits, I'm exceeding my goals and look forward to my PT sessions.ThanksSteve Podzielny

As someone recovering from back surgery, my experience at Arizona Performance Institute (AZPI) has been exceptional. The team at AZPI designed a highly personalized treatment plan, precisely tailored to my post-surgery needs and goals. The one-on-one attention from the dedicated professionals was outstanding, providing invaluable guidance and support throughout my recovery journey. The state-of-the-art facility offered a perfect setting for rehabilitation, equipped with the latest technology and amenities to enhance the healing process. AZPI has played a pivotal role in my recovery, and I highly recommend their services for anyone seeking individualized care and attention after surgery.

I’ve been working with Brady for hypermobility and Julie for pelvic floor therapy, and they have been absolutely incredible. I truly appreciate the one-on-one care, it makes such a difference to work with PTs who really know me and understand the nuances of what I’m dealing with. Over the past 7+ months, they’ve been patient, encouraging, and consistent. Hypermobility isn’t a quick fix, and they’ve helped me learn how to listen to my body, build strength safely, and push myself without overdoing it. I actually look forward to coming to PT, which says a lot! I’ve also briefly worked with Caitlin and Carlos, and they’re equally wonderful. The whole clinic has such a supportive, positive environment. And shoutout to Christine for being incredibly helpful and kind, she makes everything on the admin side so much easier. I’m very grateful for this team and can’t recommend AZPI enough!

Christine and Julie are the absolute best! So kind and knowledgeable! Julie has helped me so much with my lower back which I injured while Cross-fitting. I no longer have any pain. Brady, Carlos, and Joey are also amazing, they have helped my boyfriend with his shoulder pain. Cannot recommend this place enough!!

Amazing! Dr. Julie, Dr. Brady and Christine are amazing, they worked with me and my schedule to get me ready for a race and they went beyond my expectations so I could perform pain free. They constantly communicate and adjust, simply the best.

This place is amazing! I had previously been to Physical Therapy years ago, but i wanted something new that incorporated strength and fitness versus the traditional PT. When i first arrived i knew it was the right place. The therapists are amazing, very knowledgeable and such a fun energetic environment. You can truly tell that they love what they do and helping anyone who walks through the front door. I highly recommend anyone looking for Physical Therapy with a strength/fitness approach try Arizona Performance Institute. I got exactly what i was looking for and have learned so much about how to help myself.

Carlos has been vital to my recovery. Without his assistance, I would not have gotten back on my feet this quickly. I am an avid runner. Was on track to be ready for 2 marathons. A bad car wreck meant I was not allowed to do anything for 3 months. After a month of PT, I ran my first 5k back and another just 1 month after that. Also, up to 10 miles for my long run now and in 2 weeks, I’ll be running a half marathon. And then next up will be back to the marathon. Without Carlos and AZ Performance Institute, I would not be here yet. They helped through every setback and I am so thankful for them. This is a PT office that truly cares about their patients and wants to help them get back on their feet. 10/10 highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I came in for physical therapy with Carlos and was honestly so nervous because I had never done PT before. From the moment I scheduled, everything was simple. They took my insurance, the booking was easy, and Carlos explained every step so clearly. He always made sure my questions were answered and helped me feel completely comfortable. Now I actually look forward to going. I also started doing their group training at the gym with Will and it has been such a game changer. I was searching for a gym that felt personal and supportive, and this is exactly that. The class sizes are small, the training programs are intentional, and you can tell they truly care about your progress. Between Carlos and Will, I feel taken care of on every level. If you’re looking for physical therapy, great training, or a place that genuinely wants you to succeed, this is it. Highly recommend!

First time going to the Arizona performance institute for a HYROX training workout and had the best experience. Brady was very friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. I would highly recommend this gym and will be back in the future.

l’ve seen multiple providers at AZPI for different sports injuries. Each provider is knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. Their treatment and recovery plans have resolved my issues. I highly recommend AZPI.

I've gone to AZPI for various issues ranging from sports injuries to pelvic floor therapy. I always left feeling much better than I walked in and with a plan to get moving again (even when I was pregnant!) I recovered from my latest injury faster than ever thanks to Carlos- he's a rockstar and really good at what he does. Would recommend this facility to folks who are not feeling their best but are wanting to get back moving in the gym.

The atmosphere in this place is so energetic and caring. The team that works here is absolutely amazing, caring, and so friendly. I’ve been seeing Dr. Julie Cortina for pelvic floor issues and nerve issues down my right leg. So far since I’ve been seeing her for a month for twice a week I have now gotten the feeling back in my right leg and a good plan set in stone for my care to strengthen up my legs, core and pelvic. Also dry needling is such a life saver too especially with the nerve issues. That is what caused me to quickly get my feeling back in my right leg. She’s very thorough in her work and has been doing this for quite some time. She’s so knowledgeable about the pelvic floor and nerve issues. For anyone who has endometriosis I highly recommend to seeing her. She’s helped me get my life back to being able to do normal daily activities, more strength, and less nerve pain. Also this place has such a good energetic atmosphere that I’m planning on signing up for their group workouts at some point since those look like a lot of fun! Again highly recommend this place to anyone for physical therapy to having a energetic group workout!!

They were so helpful! During my first visit they did a thorough evaluation and asked all the necessary questions. They were able to pinpoint the issue causing my pain and teach me exercises to help. I left that first appointment already feeling so much better. I feel incredibly grateful for their help managing and correcting my back pain!

From the moment I walked in, the experience was excellent. Christine at the front desk was incrediably welcoming and helpful, answering all of my questions with patience and professionalism. Julie, my therapist, is exceptionally knowledgeable and compassionate. She took the time to thoroughtly explain everything, including what to expect throughout my treatment, and I was truly impressed by her expertise in the field. Julie provided me with targeted exercises and practical tips to help manage and improve my prolapsed bladder. Her care and dedication are truly remarkable -- I couldn't ask for a better therapist !

AZPI is the best place for physical therapy in the valley. I was able to get in the next day with Brady, who immediately figured out what was wrong and started treatment. The facility is always clean, the staff are so friendly and welcoming. I love that they have personalized small group classes and a wellness area. This place has it all.
