In Their Words
Members on the work, the change, and the room they walked in to.
Joey, I woke up today feeling so weird. I'm so happy I want to cry, man. I'm so blessed. Being sober feels so good. I can barely control my emotions today. Joey, love you bro. Thank you so, so much.
I first met Joey in 2014 when I started training at his gym, Optimal Performance Training. Joey has a gift — he has the ability to ignite a fire in you, to push you beyond your mental and physical limits, and to make you realize your full potential.
I'm becoming a better person and it just makes me so happy and I am so much happier inside.
He's just very inspiring. He almost forces you to want to be better and feel better and do better.
If you are looking for some awesome, knowledgeable people to work with, these are the guys I highly recommend. Their friendliness and result-driven approach is what I love about them.
Who We Are
OPT Beyond Fitness is a small Mesa gym with a long memory. Joey Bellus founded the place in 2008 around a simple idea : strength training and the inner work belong together — body, mind, and the community that holds them.
Today Joey trains alongside Yarania Rodriguez, who leads our women's strength programming. Between them, every member at OPT gets attention, programming, and a coach who actually knows their name.
What makes OPT Beyond Fitness different
- Coach-led classes — never just a video on a screen
- Programmed training, not random workouts
- Body + mind work woven into every session
- A community of members who show up for each other
- Independent and Mesa-grown — not a chain
