The gym will be capped at 250 members. Everyone will get the BIG or LEAN program so everyone will be required to compete at the Olympia and then also win the crossfit games
Steve Cook Great I move to Austin from Scottsdale and Steve moves there. Damn it!!!! packing bags going back to AZ to become BFFs with the man. love u Steve you Inspire us all to do great things!!!! hope to meet you one day. And yes there's a man hug coming you're way lol!!!
but seriously everyone will get a program. It wont be a cheap gym but it will be a small intimate space. I want a community where we all hang out outside of the gym. A few group classes in the morning and a few trainers doing their thing during the day. I dont need to make money on the gym as long as Im not digging into my pockets to pay for it either. Lots of big plans that start once we have a space!!!
Steve as a native Arizona resident, your best bet is going to be Tempe or Scottsdale as far as the demographic or people who work out and both are somewhat centrally located. Awahtukee is kinda far away from everything, I don't see many people driving out to Tukee to work out.
I am an Arizona Native as well and I have to agree with @Bertrand. I am actually from Ahwatukee and went to Mountain Pointe High School. While business will be good there, you will do much better in Tempe and Scottsdale. Tempe because of the college kids and central location. Scottsdale for the upper class and the businesses. Personally I would say try to find something on the border. Like around Tempe Market Place ish or lower Scottsdale. Make a gym price for students that requires a ASU ID and then a regular membership like 10 bucks more. Just saying. I am so happy this is happening though!
Why do you all believe what 2 guys have said? Surely the best thing to do is hear Brads side of the story then make a judgement? And yes Piana is worth more atm but I am saying that BM has already got him beat on subs and I don't see him slowing down. Remember how everyone suddenly hated Piana after that slap boxing incident.
I love that you mentioned Chip and Joanna Gaines! YES! They have their show, Fixer Upper. My favorite show and I just watched their newest episode before this. I definitely got all geeked out at you looking at the spaces.
Steve I would say the best location to look at is Chandler or Gilbert. Both locations have many high schools which means it's a very populated area, and there are many new building. More people move over on this side of town now because there is more open land then in Phoenix.
Hopefully that will be a real big success!! Man you really deserve them goals!Keep it going and dont ever drop that mentality of yours, it's a huge Motivation for almost 700k People out here on this beautiful planet, keep it up!! Dope Video again!💪💪
You're totally right about location. Location is key when you plan on being there a while. I would personally check out the demographic in different areas, crime rate, accessibility, zoning etc. (depending on your intentions for your new gym). I'm sure you're aware of thinking past the little things, layout, kitchen/office size(s), paint etc.(all in reason of course) -Wish you the best Steve!
Although I loved seeing more frequent content from you in the past, I'm happy to see you pursuing gods plan for your life and fulfilling your purpose while staying grounded and not being influenced by worldly things 👍🏼👍🏼
Hey Steve, I've been living in Arizona for 18 years and maybe I can provide a little advice. Awahtukee is pretty secluded from the rest of the state. For regular lifters you will be limited to locals from the city, I don't see people driving that far to work out. Scottsdale has a large amount of businesses and wealthy individuals. Gilbert is a very well put together city, extremely safe, and constantly expanding.
Awesome news in finding spots! Great that a fitness role model /icon such as yourself is expanding to an actual facility your reach can be bigger/larger, looking forward to hearing more information regarding the set up!
Steve, the Gilbert/Chandler area is a great place to open a gym. The reason I like Gilbert is that it is really up and coming. Lots of new restaurants and farmers' markets (especially Old Town Gilbert) that area has such an awesome feel and is really on the outstretch of Gilbert close to Chandler. Might be an awesome place to check if you haven't already. Great demographic, great people, and a lot of people into fitness! A few months ago there was actually a big warehouse that used to be some sort of school right on the main strip of Old Town Gilbert. I want to say fairly close to Liberty Market. Hope you find an amazing place! I'm a huge fan and live in Gilbert/San Tan Area. I'll make sure to come by and say hey no matter where you set up shop. Happy Hunting!
Keep pushing guys, the best surprises usually turn up just before your about to give up - hope you can branch out to England!!! Keep inspiring Steve 👊🏻
Nice idea steve cook... maybe suggest scottsdale or Gilbert..more calm areas and less dangerous or clean. I lived there and moved to cali 3 mnths ago, i might come back to phx...
Steve is the man, alway has been! One of the most down to earth guys in the industry for sure. We got any small RUclips channels here who want to support each other?
When you're searching for a home (I guess you can call the gym your home, right? 😉) you gotta listen to your heart. It's like in love ☺ The universe screams when it's THE ONE. If you feel this is it, follow your heart Steve! Good luck! 👊😉
Ahwatukee would be the best choice. I know the specific location you looked at. Great visibility from the freeway. That spot also borders both Chandler and Tempe. *The immediate area belongs to some of the biggest high schools with large athletic programs. *Lots of traffic in the area as well with restaurants and shopping of the Ray Rd exit. Side note: Look across the freeway. All of those car dealerships built there in the last 10 years for a reason.....location and demographics. Good luck with the decision
Definitely spot number 2! Great natural lighting and a lot of open space! The hole in the floor in the last location can mean serious money to fill with cement
lol you think I am opening it because I need to make money!? I'm opening it because I want a place to film all my stuff, hold seminars and run my company out of. It wont be in the red with one seminar a month
WELCOME TO PHOENIX!!!!No on the TOOKIE! Nice area, but I feel your target clientele is more in Arcadia/Tempe/ Scottsdale. Arcadia is home for me, and Camelback Mountain is in our backyard. LOTS of active people in the area and the gyms are not that great. Tempe is a good choice as well, and cheaper rent. Scottsdale has the funds, but rent is high. My boyfriend is a former competitor, pro training coach and gym owner, so let me know if you have any questions or need further help. Good luck in your search and I wish you guys a great 2017!!!!
I'm just excited that you're opening a gym in AZ. The way it's sounding so far is awesome, worth the trip from Flag! I'm literally watching Chip and Joanna right now!! xD Fixer Upper by the way :)
I've lived in AZ all my life, I can say that Scottsdale and Tempe have the most flat out money, but Peoria has the most actual athletes and active people that are down to get awoke at the gym. Deer Valley might be a decent place, and Glendale is possible. Phoenix is a good place for a gym
Zona native here and mountainside is an extremely popular gym. They are mostly in the north valley, surprise, anthem, Peoria, Scottsdale. Always packed to the max. North Phoenix is where you want to be man.
Enjoy a chill life style while having a packed gym. Open up in San Diego or Santa Barbara Steve! These are great locations with great people and you'll enjoy it.
I live in Ahwatukee, and it is a pretty cool spot. There are already like 3 LA Fitnesses here, but no REAL bodybuilding/weightlifting/powerlifting gyms. I would appreciate it at least :)
I live in Chandler, pretty close to Tukee and I'd love it if you opened your gym there but these other dudes are right, Tempe area is probably your best bet.
Thumbs up for real estate truth brother... location, location, location...currently a mortgage banker sir so let me know if I can lower that rate and good luck!
Let me know where to apply for a job when your hiring! I'm from the uk but I'll move over there no sweat! It's only family right! I'll just buy a new American family 😂 the weights love me they will be there for me when ever I need them! Unless the gyms shut then I'll be alone ..sad n alone but then I'll be alive again when the gyms open.. then sad and alone again! OMG where am I even going with this... I should delete this ...🙈 😂😂😂
I live in in the east valley and I think the Gilbert area is fantastic! I'm currently at Mountainside Fitness but a new gym in the area would be great!!
Used to live in Phoenix near camelback foothills. Beautiful place... Had girls in Awahtukee and Mesa Hahahaha. Gotta go back and visit. Awahtukee is a nice area bro! You'll like it there. Mesa is cool but not quite as nice as I recall.
The gym will be capped at 250 members. Everyone will get the BIG or LEAN program so everyone will be required to compete at the Olympia and then also win the crossfit games
My girlfriend has a Mexican Girlfriend
How's your progress on the LEAN program? The second spot looks legit! Greeting from Gold Coast down unda
Steve Cook Great I move to Austin from Scottsdale and Steve moves there. Damn it!!!! packing bags going back to AZ to become BFFs with the man. love u Steve you Inspire us all to do great things!!!! hope to meet you one day. And yes there's a man hug coming you're way lol!!!
Steve Cook youre amazing steve! I wish i lived in Arizona
Steve Cook what if you skip legs on a daily basis? (Asking for a friend)
but seriously everyone will get a program. It wont be a cheap gym but it will be a small intimate space. I want a community where we all hang out outside of the gym. A few group classes in the morning and a few trainers doing their thing during the day. I dont need to make money on the gym as long as Im not digging into my pockets to pay for it either. Lots of big plans that start once we have a space!!!
Steve Cook Any Job opportunities?
steve, I've always want to work in the this kind of field, any possible internship position?
love the message!!! wish their were more gyms like that out there.
Are you getting Matt Christianer involved? I think he's permanently relocated back to Chandler/Gilbert.
Steve Cook Gilbert would be the spot! Don't look anywhere else.
All dem big youtubers opening their own gym.. Goalssss
Steve as a native Arizona resident, your best bet is going to be Tempe or Scottsdale as far as the demographic or people who work out and both are somewhat centrally located. Awahtukee is kinda far away from everything, I don't see many people driving out to Tukee to work out.
Scottsdale for sure!
Scottsdale!!!!
I am an Arizona Native as well and I have to agree with @Bertrand. I am actually from Ahwatukee and went to Mountain Pointe High School.

Make a gym price for students that requires a ASU ID and then a regular membership like 10 bucks more. Just saying. I am so happy this is happening though!
The only problem with Scottsdale is the traffic is awful so people won't want to drive over there.
yeah, one of those 2 for sure.. and there is already a 24 hour EOS in tukee. and its pretty cheap so.
Steve's Gym > Bradley's Gym
Talk all the shit you want BM is making it bigger than even Rich Piana haters make people famous.
You idiot, Piana is worth 20x Bradley
Just based one location alone, bradley's gym destroys Steve's
Why do you all believe what 2 guys have said? Surely the best thing to do is hear Brads side of the story then make a judgement? And yes Piana is worth more atm but I am saying that BM has already got him beat on subs and I don't see him slowing down. Remember how everyone suddenly hated Piana after that slap boxing incident.
Julius Reed u spelled piano wrong.
Thought this was a marriage proposal before looking at the thumbnail haha
Kendall Pasley same 😂😂
Kendall Pasley hahaha love your comments girl 😂💪🏼👌🏼
Is it possible for me to be more stoked for this gym, than Steve?
I love that you mentioned Chip and Joanna Gaines! YES! They have their show, Fixer Upper. My favorite show and I just watched their newest episode before this. I definitely got all geeked out at you looking at the spaces.

Dope Video again!💪💪
"Everything the light touches is yours... But really mine!" LOL!!
Good luck Steve, looking forward to see what you build.
You're totally right about location. Location is key when you plan on being there a while. I would personally check out the demographic in different areas, crime rate, accessibility, zoning etc. (depending on your intentions for your new gym). I'm sure you're aware of thinking past the little things, layout, kitchen/office size(s), paint etc.(all in reason of course)
-Wish you the best Steve!
I don't care where Steve puts a gym I will personally fly out to wherever it is spend a week and workout there. Straight up!
Chandler is the freaking greatest! Connected with him @ Utah FitCon! Genuine guy!
That is some serious stud factor in that vehicle with Chandler, Steve & Jake.
Although I loved seeing more frequent content from you in the past, I'm happy to see you pursuing gods plan for your life and fulfilling your purpose while staying grounded and not being influenced by worldly things 👍🏼👍🏼
Steve Cook making moves! Will be interesting to see this journey of making your very own empire.
Swoldier Nation the best supporters out there! Looks awesome Steve!
Joe Murray good to see you here too Joe 🙌🏼🙋🏼
Love a bit of Steve!
Hey Steve, I've been living in Arizona for 18 years and maybe I can provide a little advice.

Gilbert is a very well put together city, extremely safe, and constantly expanding.
Omg Mesa!!!!! I'll be your first gym member if you open up in Mesa!!!!!
well they wont open it there cuz location sucks, sorry :(
Awesome news in finding spots! Great that a fitness role model /icon such as yourself is expanding to an actual facility your reach can be bigger/larger, looking forward to hearing more information regarding the set up!
DUDE!! I am so stoked that you're setting up a gym here in AZ!! Can't wait to check it out man! and f the haters, Chandlers awesome
you guys are moving up in the world!!! stay positive guys and I hope all goes well for you.
You just know this gym is gunna be legit
Jake looks as if Sam Hunt, Channing Tatum and a container of creatine had a baby
Super happy for Steve! Good job guys! Keep doing what y'all are doing.

I'm totally psyched about you opening your own gym, hopefully later down the line you can open few more in California.
STEVE I CAME FROM SNAPCHAT!! TO TELL YOU HELLO!!!
hello there
Keep pushing guys, the best surprises usually turn up just before your about to give up - hope you can branch out to England!!!
Keep inspiring Steve 👊🏻
I have been watching you since you worked out with your chiropractor friend. Very knowledgeable and personable dude.
hope you find a gym soon and good luck. i started back my workouts after about 4 months and i come watch your videos for motivation always helps
Poor Steve he seems to be the only one who's PUMPED UP about the gym idea compared to his buddies. No matter what I hope it all works out for them!
I ran Golds gym in Awatukee...I like the area but hard for a gym to survive. Glad your in Az that shiz is cool.
Nice idea steve cook... maybe suggest scottsdale or Gilbert..more calm areas and less dangerous or clean. I lived there and moved to cali 3 mnths ago, i might come back to phx...
Unicorn tears just made me smile! Stevia is🙌🙌
The second you said Waco, TX...I knew you were talking about Fixer Upper! haha Awesome show!
Born and raised in AZ but in my opinion Steve you should come down to Tucson AZ. Much better for living and big Bodybuilding following
Steve is the man, alway has been! One of the most down to earth guys in the industry for sure. We got any small RUclips channels here who want to support each other?
Michael Pieri Fitness me 🙋🏼
When you're searching for a home (I guess you can call the gym your home, right? 😉) you gotta listen to your heart. It's like in love ☺ The universe screams when it's THE ONE. If you feel this is it, follow your heart Steve! Good luck! 👊😉
I think layout on 3rd has most potential given it is in a good traffic location. One room I'd bring in a gua sha and therapist to setup in.
How could anyone hate on chandler...seems so sweet and harmless lol
wow this video was better than my cereal this morning
Ahwatukee would be the best choice. I know the specific location you looked at. Great visibility from the freeway. That spot also borders both Chandler and Tempe. *The immediate area belongs to some of the biggest high schools with large athletic programs. *Lots of traffic in the area as well with restaurants and shopping of the Ray Rd exit.
Side note: Look across the freeway. All of those car dealerships built there in the last 10 years for a reason.....location and demographics. Good luck with the decision
any vlog courtney's in makes it 100 times better
Steve my dude I think you are about the freshest athlete on youtube bro! Fashion game stay on point. Love your videos bro!!
You are the best!!! Much love from Trinidad
Great spot man. Lots of money, great places to eat and shop, super safe. Hope you open in Auhatukke.
Definitely spot number 2! Great natural lighting and a lot of open space! The hole in the floor in the last location can mean serious money to fill with cement
I definitely agree that Tempe/Scottsdale is the place to be!
Really like the second site you guys went to. You seem to have BIG plans! Hope to visit your gym one day (from London)
Check out the West Valley (Glendale, Avondale, Peoria, Luke AFB). You know, us military dudes love working out.
Congratulations Steve!
kappelmeister123 pardon?
kappelmeister123 I'm confused, why does this have anything to do with my comment?
kappelmeister123 have a little more positivity.
lol you think I am opening it because I need to make money!? I'm opening it because I want a place to film all my stuff, hold seminars and run my company out of. It wont be in the red with one seminar a month
Steve Cook goodluck with it all, Steve. If I lived in the US I would have for sure checked it out :-)

I'm just excited that you're opening a gym in AZ. The way it's sounding so far is awesome, worth the trip from Flag! I'm literally watching Chip and Joanna right now!! xD Fixer Upper by the way :)
Get it steve and jacob! I'll be down to visit When it is up and running.
Ahwatukee , Chandler great places! At the end of everything go with your gut! Your gym your home!
I live here in Phoenix and think you should have your gym in Scottsdale or Tempe because they are nicer areas.
i think the second was the better one ! !
like others have said.. best place to get is in Tempe or Scottsdale.. the other place its too far away and kinda lonely
I've lived in AZ all my life, I can say that Scottsdale and Tempe have the most flat out money, but Peoria has the most actual athletes and active people that are down to get awoke at the gym. Deer Valley might be a decent place, and Glendale is possible. Phoenix is a good place for a gym

I've watched some of your videos here and there, but after hearing you say you watch Chip and Joanna -- subscribed.
Hi Steve , right now Im living in Tel Aviv, Israel
let me know when your gym ready I will book a flight and will come to train with you bro
Congratulations my dude👏👏👏 it's wonderful when your grind is paying off and you on that success road👏👏 keep it up and wish you the best💪💪💪
I am so impressed by how well you know the valley already! People live here for years and don't know about the different areas and neighborhoods.
Can't wait to visit the gym once it opens!
Enjoy a chill life style while having a packed gym. Open up in San Diego or Santa Barbara Steve! These are great locations with great people and you'll enjoy it.
I live in Ahwatukee, and it is a pretty cool spot. There are already like 3 LA Fitnesses here, but no REAL bodybuilding/weightlifting/powerlifting gyms. I would appreciate it at least :)
Name of the Bomberjacket ???
that place realy looks ideal Steve!! You go for it!!
Steve I'm living in Europe, but once i will visit USA i will definitely come to visit you, only to say hi.
Keep doing your videos man!
Really like that space, it would be the best gym ever!!!
Ahwatukee is what scottsdale is to phoenix but for Chandler and Tempe. Plus you would be near the i10 and near IKEA great area!
Mesa ftw Steve! Try tia rosas best salsa in my opinion. Mexican food gains for days. Maybe not for prepping tho.
I live in Chandler, pretty close to Tukee and I'd love it if you opened your gym there but these other dudes are right, Tempe area is probably your best bet.
Anyone else die loling when Chandler read that...? It's ok Chan man the rest of us love you.
Thumbs up for real estate truth brother... location, location, location...currently a mortgage banker sir so let me know if I can lower that rate and good luck!
Let me know where to apply for a job when your hiring! I'm from the uk but I'll move over there no sweat! It's only family right!

Unless the gyms shut then I'll be alone ..sad n alone but then I'll be alive again when the gyms open.. then sad and alone again! OMG where am I even going with this... I should delete this ...🙈 😂😂😂
You should try in the Peoria area , its great because it's a new growing area already.
I live in in the east valley and I think the Gilbert area is fantastic! I'm currently at Mountainside Fitness but a new gym in the area would be great!!
Steve great videos. I was curious on the model of your Ray Ban glasses? Thanks for the motivation!
Everyone is like "build it in Scottsdale"... I don't even want to know how much property costs in Scottsdale
Sorry someone hated on you Chandler. Maybe they thought you were the guy from Friends? Swolder Nation supports you too Chandler!
Lots of great options i see in this video. Very exciting stuff.
Move to Canada and open a Gym Steve!! We get beautiful weather here... 3 months a year!! ;)
Suddenly I want to move to Arizona just so I can workout at Steve's gym, and do cardio class with the Vanilla Gorilla!
The second place u seen is definitely the best place and I like the opening space! Go for the second one !!
Hysterical crying voice "Leave the Chan man aloneeeee" xD poor Chan...
Used to live in Phoenix near camelback foothills. Beautiful place... Had girls in Awahtukee and Mesa Hahahaha. Gotta go back and visit. Awahtukee is a nice area bro! You'll like it there. Mesa is cool but not quite as nice as I recall.
I'm feeling like moving from Kansas to Arizona now
"we will send this guy" (big smiling buzz cut head) lol good luck finding a space yall are gonna kill it
poor Chandelier getting roast by comments
I'm moving to Phoenix in may. I'll be there everyday!
Your ambition is really motivating, keep it up!
2016 ASU Grad right here... Definitely Tempe or Scottsdale!
Leave the Chanman alone!!! 😀💜
Glad for you man!
Anyone been watching the ufc 209 on sale media day faceoffs? Steve Cook looks exactly like Stephen Thompson
I miss Phoenix. Cooling that building in the summer is not going to be cheap.
