Altered Athletics

Altered Athletics is a women-only strength training studio with a North Scottsdale location and a second studio in Arcadia, Phoenix. The focus is individualized personal training and small group sessions built around each member's goals, with nutrition guidance alongside the workouts. Members describe a supportive community where women encourage each other to get stronger.

New visitors can book a free intro session to see whether the studio is a good fit. The gym has plenty of free weights, four squat racks, cable machines and hip thruster bars, and it keeps weekday hours from early morning into the evening, with Saturday mornings too. The Scottsdale studio is at 14305 N 79th St. in the North Scottsdale area.
