I couldn’t have asked for a better person to introduce me to weight training. Robert is not your typical coach with “online certification”, he is well versed in the human body and its movement. With every lift you do under his guidance is a teachable moment with proper form, correction, and the why explained. In addition to having ample experience in strength training, he is a RD who will teach you how to properly fuel your body. The gym itself is a judgment free zone and so welcoming with fellow gym goers who have been nothing but encouraging and friendly. Take it from someone who’s always been a girly girl, and not lifted a day in her life- already seeing so much improvement physically and in strength. Highly recommend strength training with Robert.

What an awesome gym! Plenty of racks for serious lifters and excellent music. Lots of light and a friendly atmosphere made me super comfortable, even as a lone female from out of town. (I can't even say that about my own gym!) Santana is truly an exceptional coach, as well. He spent extra time in our coaching session where it was needed without wasting time where it wasn't - and yet covered everything and missed nothing. I was really impressed, honestly. This one appt was worth the 1800 mi trip to Arizona all by itself! Next time I'm out there, I'll be returning here, definitely!

Weights and Plates is a top notch gym! I was super impressed by the multitude of high quality bars, solid racks and platforms, calibrated plates, and overall equipment. I trained at this gym in the summer in Arizona and the air conditioning was perfect! The owner of Weights and Plates, Robert Santana, MS, RD, SSC is an exceptional Starting Strength coach and Registered Dietitian. He has coached me both in person and online for six years now and he is the BEST coach hands down! Totally recommend checking out this gym for yourself - I promise that you won’t be disappointed!

I've been a member of Weights & Plates since it opened, after first meeting Robert in 2016 for personal training sessions. Over the years Robert has helped me immensely, getting me stronger in my 60's than I've ever been in my life. The gym has all the equipment you need to get stronger, plus, as least as importantly, Robert's coaching expertise will get you to your goals efficiently and safely. The other members provide a fun, friendly, and supportive atmosphere as well. Check it out!

  • Adam Levy

I've been a client of Robert's for years. He's an excellent coach: well-educated, years of experience, and the sharpest eye I've seen to get your form right. He's not one to waste your time; he will work to get you to your goals as quickly and efficiently as possible. The gym is absolutely awesome. It has premium equipment in great shape, and works great for powerlifters, olympic lifters, or anyone doing basic barbell strength training. Highly recommend!

  • Mike Palios

Am a SS Masters Novice from Florida, in town for work. Worth the uber drive to/from Glendale. If you are a local and want to get strong, join. If you want to work hard, join. If you want to learn the right way to perform the big 4 complex movements (Squat, Press, Bench Press, and Deadlift), join. If I lived here, I'd join. Robert is patient, extremely knowledgeable, patient, but blunt when it comes to technical flaws in your lifts (I have lots of them).

  • John Laplante

After reading books/articles by Sullivan and Rippitoe about the benefits of barbell training, I wanted to learn how to do it correctly and and more importantly - effectively. My experience with Robert was all that and more. Being a rank novice and just coming off heart valve surgery I was at a pretty low level of fitness. That has completely changed with Robert's coaching. Thanks to him I look forward to a healthier and stronger future.

  • Dragon Do

Robert is an excellent coach who has a top notch facility. The gym has all the equipment needed to follow the Starting Strength system. During a trip through Phoenix, I contacted Robert to ask about dropping in his gym. He was very accommodating and provided guidance during my training. I can tell he is very experienced and tailored the training to what I can handle at my current level. Highly recommended for anyone in the area.

  • Juliette Gonzalez

I have been to many non commercial gyms over the years and this is by far one of the best ones I’ve been to. The equipment is amazing! Everything is new and the quality is hands down the best. 7 squat racks so I don’t have to fight for one!! Robert is also a fantastic RD and has helped me in the past with my nutrition. You get an RD and a gym owner! More bang for your buck! Can’t wait for another visit to Arizona

  • Joseph Bourcier

  • Korbyn Brock

Excellent Facility. This is a “Starting Strength” style gym. Robert the owner does a great job of teaching and coaching the movements taught in the book. Huge variety of quality barbell equipment. 24/7 access is very convenient. The gym is very well climate controlled which makes it enjoyable to be there even when it’s the middle of July. Highly recommend.

  • Jennifer Bonham

I really enjoyed training here while I was in Phoenix for work. The gym has everything you could need: squat racks, barbells, specialty barbells, bumper plates, microplates, chains, chalk, etc. The gym is clean, and the equipment is new. I even got some form checks from the owner. Looking forward to finding another opportunity to train here!

  • Dakota Shoemaker

Came to Robert for a form check on all the major lifts. He was very knowledgeable and was able to not only explain what I was doing wrong but gave helpful cues so that I could correct these deficiencies. The facility was very nice, and the equipment was top notch. He made the three hour trip worth every minute.

  • Matthew Provence

I went in for a form check and evaluation. Robert was phenomenal. He explained everything in detail and made sure I had each lift down before going on to the next lift. The gym is well equipped, logically set up, clean, and organized. I highly recommend Robert and the gym.

  • Brad Harris

What a great gym with an even better coach and guy Robert. Top notch place all the way around. Robert was very friendly and gave great coaching cues. I left excited for my next gym session! Sign up and go get coached by the best in the Valley!

  • Jaime Heidemann

Beautiful gym set up. The equipment are all in amazing shape and seem all brand new. They maintain the facility well and Robert and his team are super knowledgeable. If you want the best strength training and nutrition gym, this is it.

  • Brandon Higgs

Proud member here. If your serious about training, I recommend this place. No extra nonsense, just pig iron and proven methods presented by good coaching. 24 hour access and you never have to wait for a squat rack or machine.

  • Ray Gillenwater

Owner is a Starting Strength Coach, a seminar staff coach, and a registered dietician. Gym has eight racks and all of the equipment needed for Starting Strength. Nice facility, great staff.

  • Joshua Guske

Great weightlifting gym. Coach Santana gives great advice and there is plenty of equipment. Plus 24/7 access is great for those of us with irregular or busy schedules.

  • Josh Morgan

A great gym for training and for learning the barbell lifts. Contact Robert Santana today. You won’t be disappointed.
