Our Story
OPT Beyond Fitness — Optimal Performance Training, LLC — opened in Mesa, Arizona in 2008. Joey Bellus founded the gym around a simple conviction : real training works on the body, the mind, and the community at the same time.
The gym has grown over the years, but the conviction hasn't moved. We're not a chain. We're not a class-on-a-screen franchise. We're a place where coaches know members by name, where the work is programmed, and where you'll walk out tired in the right way.
Today Joey trains alongside Yarania Rodriguez, who leads our women's strength programming. Between them — and the community that's grown up around them — OPT Beyond Fitness does the work of helping people become stronger humans.
