Third Space is a community-based gym built around small-group classes, personal training, and youth training — functional programs designed to get you real results. But it's the community that keeps you coming back. This is your third place: not work, not home, but the space in between where you can be you and find your purpose.
"Third Space Athletic Club is truly more than just a gym, it's a community where everyone feels welcome and inspired to push beyond their limits. Jesse, the owner, has an extensive background in athletic training and always knows exactly what each individual needs. He's the glue that brings everyone together, creating a supportive and motivating environment where everyone feels connected."
"I've been coming to Third Space for over a year now... The workouts are tough but fun, the vibes are unmatched, and the community is second to none. Jesse has really created a special community of people where everyone fits right in."
"One of the best workouts in the Phoenix metro area — I keep going back for more. It's a very open, welcoming and loving community of people. Jesse, the owner and head coach, is one of the kindest, most genuine and sincere humans."
"As someone who fell out of love with CrossFit a while ago, I still crave an intense workout, and Third Space delivers. Jesse, the owner and coach, brings incredible energy that's truly infectious. You'll leave feeling stronger, in a better mood, and maybe even with a few new friends."
"I drove by for a long time, telling myself I'd go one day. Finally I booked a class, and after the first day I knew I'd keep coming back. Everyone was nice, there are no egos, the workouts are hard but fun. My only regret is not starting sooner."
"Thirdspace really lives up to its name — it's that spot between work and home where you actually want to be. The workouts are always changing and challenging, and Jesse's created a space that feels more like a community than a gym."
"I absolutely love Thirdspace! I have been coming here for about 3 years and not only are the workouts amazing (and I have seen great improvements in my physique as well as strength I am very proud of), but Jesse has also created a supportive community of friends. On top of all this, you can always expect great music and motivating energy no matter what class you join. I would recommend this gym to anyone!"
"I finally found a gym near me that provides a balanced and functional fitness oriented class workout - I couldn't be happier! The space is warm and inviting and the trainers challenge you with a mix of functional movements that allow you to work your entire body at your own pace. Class sizes are small/personal and the value is unmatched. 10/10"
Jesse has spent 14+ years in the fitness industry, training everyone from professional athletes to youth athletes just discovering what their bodies can do. His own turning point came after playing college football — a 100 lb transformation that changed how he saw fitness, and led him to earn his athletic training degree from Grand Canyon University.
He built Third Space so people would have somewhere to go where they never had to feel alone — a place built on community first, results second. He blends a background in medical knowledge and strength training to design functional programs that regress or progress to meet anyone, wherever they're starting from.
But what keeps members coming back isn't just the programming. It's Jesse: the infectious energy, the ear-to-ear smile, and the occasional full-volume lyric session mid-class.
