We just started going there a couple months ago, It's my go to now, I have planet fitness membership as well. But this place wins every time. Friendly staff, good music, plenty of equipment, boxing room, it's just great. My daughter was visiting and they let me just do a month membership for her, no contract, no attachments, I loved that! My favorite gym so far in sierra vista. Ps. Wish they had a sauna, or a hot and cold plunge type of stuff lol
Moved from Benson. I have enjoyed the gym .
I was staying in Candlewoods and they have a partnership with Buena Health Fitness Gym were you can go for free!! Management really friendly and thanks to the Marines Veteran in the front desk for all the help. Great Gym and a lot of equipment.
This is a very unique facility. It has old school professional grade free weights for serious bodybuilders as well as huge variety of machines for those who prefer more controlled weight lifting. This facility also had a nice boxing ring with heavy bags and boxing practice accessories. But, above it all, probably the jewel of Buena fitness is the legendary Mr. Hank Diaz who has been bodybuilding himself for over 40 years and trained countless bodybuilders during his career. If you never met this man, then I highly suggest you pay a visit and use his knowledge of physical training to take your training to the next level. At age 89 Mr. Díaz opens the gym every day of the week at 03:30am and take care of his clients better than anyone I have ever met.
A love letter to my gym of 25ish (with breaks) years: Yall forgot your own history so bad that I'm disappointed. *deep sigh* Google the name Matthew Shepard some time and then you'll see exactly why my simply being *alive*, and grateful for yall letting me stay a customer makes so much sense. ---- So yeah, Hank, Danny, and various scary folks working the counter: THANK YOU! You've literally helped me bandage my ribs. Thank you. Now who the hell knows how to get Don Fry and myself in the same room again? He owes me either a handshake or a rematch, DANNY. ;)
By far the best gym in the local area. They have a massive facility, with every kind of equipment you could possibly need. The owner is the nicest man you'll meet. There are a plethora of cardio machines and an entire boxing room, with a ring. They do hot yoga classes as well, so virtually everything fitness related is doable here. The pricing is also fantastic for what's offered.
Love this place. Only one request, wish they were open alittle later that 9pm
Buena health and fitness is located near the main Buffalo soldier gate fort Huachuca Army Post. It is a really nice place. Easy going calm and quiet a great place to work out and get yourself together. This place is non-pretentious and very real. It is spacious and large and usually not very crowded. They have a wide variety of equipment weight machines and free weights. As well as a boxing gym, with a boxing ring.
Great gym. Has an old school vibe and has awesome staff. Never busy and has everything you need. Even during peak hours there is plenty of equipment.
This place is awesome, they have a good deadlifting platform, plenty of squat racks, great selection of dumbbells, and a good mentality/atmosphere for getting in shape. The price is excellent for all the things you get access to, and they even have a boxing/MMA room with heavybags, speedbags, and a FULL boxing ring!! They have an amazing personal trainer named Carl Taylor who trains people in the morning time and will get you the results you're looking for! He's incredibly knowledgeable and helped a friend of mine lose over 50 pounds!
@giddy up lopez…which the name alone sounds made up lol…maybe instead of being a Karen you should instead offer to help small business people..with a building that size I’m sure you would be a little overwhelmed cleaning it…grow up with your negativity..Buena health is the best gym in town…
Old school type gym for a super great value (especially for military), every type of machine and free weight you need. Really going to miss this place.
Huge gym, personable staff I'm looking to come back. I'm a short bit outside the city now but training at Buena HFC will be worth IT!!!
It's a classic 90's gym. They have a boxing ring, hot yoga studio, and meal prep kitchen in the back. It's an old school gym with an awesome owner. He's personal and he gets to know you by name. They also have a place for kids to wait for their parents to workout. Support this local business owner because it's definitely worth visiting.
Warfighter kitchen was delicious. Joseph is not only knowledgeable but passionate and friendly. I will definitely be coming back.
Hank and Danny are great people who are running the perfect gym. They have everything I need and nothing I don't. They offer additional classes like jiu jitsu and hot yoga. The equipment is of the highest quality, everything is very clean. and the price is right. I highly recommend this gym to anyone and everyone!
Was a member here when I was in Sierra Vista. A friend recommended it to me as "serious Iron gym". Had a terrible experience at another gym where I saw an elderly veteran totally disrespected and yelled at by a self-entitled person who thought she was God's gift to humanity for the"crime" of paying this drama queen a compliment. Management was terrible to him so I left the next day and tried Buena HFC. It's an old fashioned gym that's not full of prima donnas who are obnoxious to any and everyone. Rather it was a friendly atmosphere where you could do some serious lifting.
Good workout
No contract club great for working travelers, affordable monthly rate, tons of good newer equipment. Very happy with this club! And the owner is a badass!
I Train Here Every Friday. Good Place
Love it
Just fine as always...
I was impressed with the type of people in the center. There were young and seniors working together on all types of machines. All were friendly and helpful and made me realize that this was a place recognized as a place for WINNERS.
I love this gym! Buena Health and Fitness Center is my home away from home for working out when I'm in Sierra Vista visiting family. Hank and Danny have created a relaxed, welcoming environment for exercise. I discovered this place when looking for Silver Sneakers programs for my mother — Buena Health and Fitness has an extensive class schedule of exercise options for seniors. They have lots of other offerings for all ages, even hot yoga! If you're looking for an unpretentious place for healthy exercise, you can't go wrong with Buena Health and Fitness.
Love this gym. We have been going several years and appreciate the helpful staff and the great equipment!
Really love this gym. Never too crowded and a great price for my wife and I. The staff is very understanding when we forget our key cards sometimes. This gym feels more personal and accommodating to the members than other gyms in town. It's also easy to get to and conveniently close for us.
I was lucky enough to stumble into Buena This past summer and my experience there was excellent. The staff are extremely friendly and encourage you in every way possible. The atmosphere in the gym is even better. Personally I’ve always felt self conscious when working out but I never felt that way at Buena. The equipment is top notch as well! Buena is easily the best gym in SV.
They have amazing new equipment that’s great for beginners and the pros, also they’ve included a new section specified for your CrossFit workouts. This gym has made significant improvements so I definitely recommend this gym. Btw the people in there are great as well
I have been using BHS since 1993. This is a legit gym, not one of those that panders to clients. If you want to get a good workout in, have a staff that actually wants you to exceed and pass all your own fitness expectations, then there is no better gym in the area. The owners and staff will do everything they can to help you on your journey.
Love these guys! They've got a full gym, with plenty of squat racks, benches, and even treadmills. The staff is helpful and will check my form when I ask.
Very great, accommodating and gracious owners at Buena Fitness. They presented an excellent production of the AZ Copper Classic on March 23, 2019.
Great helpful and friendly people. Great equipment. Lots of various classes. Love going there.
When I was looking for a gym around the area, I wanted a place that I could get a good workout and not have all the frilly things and a place that wasn't gonna break the bank.... I'm so glad I went with my gut and chose Buena Health and Fitness.... Everyone is super friendly and love the staff and personal trainers I've met and the one I am working with....
I’m a military officer visiting for the captains career course and decided to look around at gyms that were available off post (I generally like to leave the military atmosphere at work so I avoid post gyms). Buena health fitness center has everything you would require from a gym, it’s large and open, and they offer discount rates for military members. Highly recommended
Great place was shocked after my second visit was greeted by my name and treated like a person. As for the gym the pricing is more than fair with lots of equipment for everyone and never too busy also check out the boxing room pretty impressive I am out of town for 6 weeks see ya soon.
I absolutely enjoy this gym!!! Great price and great owners! I love the atmosphere and the vibe I get as soon as I walk though the doors! They have plenty of equipment and classes at great prices ! I really enjoy my time while I am there! I recommend Buena health and fitness for everyone!!!! They even have a room you can have your kids play in.
I've been to many gyms to include LA Fitness, Golds and other big names. This is a family oriented gym where you're treated like a person. No meat heads, meat market. Very pleasant atmosphere. Even when busy, there's plenty of equipment available. Best price anywhere. Love this place.
Lots of space and plenty of equipment to keep you busy; friendly and helpful staff; fair pricing.
Very clean! Open atmosphere that isn't crowded. Polite staff
The best gym in Sierra Vista. Great for beginners all the way to advanced bodybuilders. Great new location, lowest prices plenty of room, and busy but not crowded.
Large, clean
It’s no frills. Grungy. You have room to do your work without someone breathing on ya
They have better equipment now.
This is what I expect a gym to be machines, weights and tons of space. Classes in separate rooms. Sitting area for the kids with wifi so no need to call a babysitter.
Great place to work out, never too crowded, lots of iron, cardio, and machines. Comfortable atmosphere, love how all the rooms are wired to play ur own music.
The hours, price convenience, the fact that it’s never really busy are fantastic! They staff/owners are EXTREMELY welcoming, polite and easy to talk with. The monster issue, for me at least, is the cleanliness. The bathrooms are atrocious and the gym floor is full of clumps of balled up hair left over from mopping. Simple vacuuming would solve the problem of the gym floor and cleaning the bathroom more than once a week, as flyer says they are cleaned on Sundays, would help as well. Also wasn’t a huge fan of working out in dim lighting with zero windows. Obviously, a lot of this is personal preference but the cleanliness is just a glaring issue for me. I’m sure they are short staffed like the test of the world too.
Not modern enough for me.
My situation was resolved and I got refunded. It's been a year since I've used this gym and I think they're trying to modernize more. I think it's a decent gym and it isn't very expensive, they throw in boxing instruction along with some free equipment. One thing I thought was silly was somebody wrecked the bathroom so they just closed it for everyone. I think they made it so you need a key for the bathroom. I think that maybe shows you the budget of the gym. I think it would be renovating an area for lockers and a full size bathroom, with cctv near the entrance. When there's more traffic in a locker/bathroom area I think somebody would also be less likely to get away with vandalism as well. It was a decent gym when I was around and I hope they continue to improve.
This used to be my favorite local gym, when it was run by Hank (88 yr old. former bodybuilder) and his son Danny. Huge space, well equipped and you could overlook the dingy, run down feel, with some pieces of equipment out of service. However, the new management feels very corporate. Joshua, the new manager is reasonably personable ( though not like Hank and Danny that knew everyone by name). But when I qualified for Silver Sneakers, Joshua assured me they would stop charging my membership fees, since Silver Sneakers pay it through Medicare. However, I continued to be charged every month. Joshua was not there when I visited so I left several messages to get it fixed and a refund. He never bothered to call me. I finally spoke to Luther who said he would get future charges stopped and took my phone number, again, so Joshua could call me. However, Joshua never bothered to, even though I was told he got the message. Guess he could not be bothered. So they lost a customer of two years and I paid my bank $30 to stop future payments. Sign of the times in corporate America. Oh, and Joshua also got rid of a good massage therapist so he could take her office. Pity. I did eventually speak to Joshua in person and politely described my disappointment that he had cost me money by not doing what he was supposed to do. Also that he’d not bothered to call me back, even if just to apologize. I mentioned I had received a message from Danny, apologizing for the behavior of the new manager. Joshua sneered, “Danny is nothing.” I replied, “You seem at first like a nice, competent guy. But you’re really neither.” “That’s just your opinion,” said Joshua, with absolutely no sense of owing me an apology and money. “Yes, Joshua, and it’s based on what you do.” There are many nicer gyms in town, run in a more professional way, so why would I support this place with my business anymore? The new owner never replied to email, either? There’s a pattern.
Danny, is the Manager of Buena Fitness and his Father, Hank is the Lease/Owner. The original owner of the HOTYOGA CLUB ( Marybeth Medley, “was a friend for 2 yrs,” UNFORTUNATELY her, "main concern, is herself," to make the money, she needs this money, to the point, where the new people first come into the intense heat and humidity, they are not inform enough, to prepare new people for it. #1: You must have plenty of water, at least a pint or better a quart next to you. #2 The further back you are from the instructor, the temperature is cooler, especially for beginners. You see, you first pay $20 to start. If you don’t come back, "SO WHAT," she keeps the 20$ and you quit. My first day I got very lightheaded/dizzy, I forgot my water. I had to stop, left the room, went to the front desk and bought multiple bottles and drank most of them. Then returned. Marybeth would ignore my questions about a proper automatic brief before each class. The humidity system is a bit complex and I was the one that fixed, repaired and maintained it for her, I solved numerous other issues including repairing the inside of the hot yoga room. Joseph is the power yoga instructor and one day he verbally assaulted me in a insane rant screaming his head off over nothing while slamming his arm as hard as he could cursing and was obviously unstable. I complained to Marybeth and she then; to make a long story short, she kicked me out of the hot yoga classes permanently. She was worried that I was going to get a restraining order for Joseph assaulting a elder- person. My yoga was therapeutic for my PTSD, and very important to my longevity and mental health. Marybeth demonstrates a sociopathic type behavior and I learned that she is a chronic habitual liar. My PTSD is directly connected to my military service of over 20years as a US Navy SEAL, 67 yrs old. The manager of the gym, " Danny," supported her lies and was the one that brought all the numerous quitters to my attention? We “were,” good friends….(until he stabbed me in the back...) I constantly promoted the Gym and saved both of them thousands of dollars……Very SAD.👎👎👎 The last day of April 2022, was my last day and the beginning of the END of the HotYogaClub and the shrinking popularity of the Buena Fitness gym. Mary-Beth and Danny's KARMA, are non-existent, BAD, to say the least! VICTOR R WILSON USN RET HTC SEAL
I was planning on signing up until I saw how dirty it was. It smelled like MRSA and ringworm combined. I think I’ll stick to my at-home Youtube workouts.
I've been participating in Silver Sneakers at Buena for about a year. The instructor is wonderful. There is a great deal of camaraderie among those attending. Unfortunately, I do not do well exercising without air conditioning. Sometimes we have air conditioning, sometimes we do not. When it is 80 degrees in the room, I begin to feel sick. Last summer the room became very hot. I'm not sure I can handle another hot summer without air conditioning at Buena Health Fitness Center. Revision to review: I had posted the review above. I am lowering the review because of Buena Health Fitness Center's response to the review. Their response was disingenuous stating that the temperature was between 72 - 74 degrees. That was not what I had experienced. Nor is it what others in the class had experienced prior to my review. Providing a reasonable temperature had been an on going problem the entire time that I was a member of the Fitness Center. The 80 degree day was the straw that broke the camels back. Management's response to an on going problem was to deflect the issue to a problem with me. They are so sloppy that they called, and left a message wanting me to return their call and failed to provide a phone number. I've left Buena Health Fitness Center. I'm now going to Cochise Racquet Club. The facility is cleaner, the staff much more friendly, and the other members are extremely welcoming.
Today at 10:45, I went to check place to see what they have for equipment, and I was not allow, you have to pay 1st??
If you are sane, you will NOT believe this story: Went one day only, on my membership. My first day ever on the floor. I forgot to take weights off leg press. Was sent an email 24 hours later saying they revoke membership for this infraction. They wrote that my email reply would help them determine "disciplinary action". My reply indicated I was quite sorry for the mistake, it was an uncommon one on my side, and that I was quite stunned at being threatened with revocation of my membership over one infraction of an innocuous kind, without so much as a warning of this kind of absolute rigidity, instead of this kind of aggression from my one and only day using my membership. I indicated this was my first time at the gym, ever. They replied saying my email helped them determine that my "unmerited" perspective, had them determine to follow through with that threat (however unmerited the perceived threat??) to revoke my membership. In addition, this revocation was not enough for them, so at the bottom of that email, was a directive, in all bold, that if I stepped foot on any part of their property, I would be arrested. . . .But even THAT wasn't enough folks, because they sent police TO MY HOUSE!! While I was writing this review, a police officer just stopped by to confirm that if I stepped on that property, I would, indeed be arrested!!!!!! True story folks. These people are just CRAZY. I don't know WHAT all these 5 stars are for. No human never forgets to replace weights in my 52 yrs going to a gym. Lol. No wonder at all that this place is always empty every time I drive by.
