Looking to get stronger and have a healthier life? The Protocol is the place to go. I have been participating in the small group training classes at The Protocol for nearly a year. I had used Kettlebells in the past and was hesitant to use them again, since I had previous shoulder pain. I quickly found out I did not have proper instruction, and have not experienced any shoulder pain, now that I am using them the right way. I am so glad I trusted the staff and the process so I could increase my flexibility and strength. I love seeing the definition in my arms and legs, and knowing that the things I've learned will help me live a better life. Every coach I've had has been professional and knowledgeable, and somehow make working out fun. The Protocol feels like a community with lots of encouragement from coaches as well as other students.
I visited The Protocol Strength & Conditioning in Tucson and was blown away. This place has wow factor! Jerry and his team are incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and professional. The gym is clean, well-organized, and perfect for entry-level clients or anyone wanting to get stronger and move better. Their focus on kettlebell training, strength, and mobility truly sets them apart. Having a licensed physical therapist on-site makes it a complete and safe fitness experience. If you want expert coaching in a supportive environment, The Protocol is the place to be.
I have been a happy, strong and injury free Protocol Student for 13+ years. What I love the most about the Protocol is the people, from the coaches to the students who are committed to building a community of healthier, stronger individuals. The classes are small, which allows for all students to receive personalized instruction/feedback. Jerry and his team emphasize proper technique and to listen to our bodies, I attribute that to being able to walk out of the gym pain/injury free every week even as I get older. When I first called 13+ years Jerry it was so I could walk up the stairs without getting winded, little did I know that call would change my life. I went from being a little lady who could barely walk to still being a little lady who can now do pushups, pull ups, is proficient using kettlebells and can deadlift 2x her body weight. The Protocol has made me stronger, healthier and more confident. I feel blessed to have found a community that I now call my second family
My wife and I started taking classes because we wanted to participate in our first powerlifting competition. See photo. Jerry’s expertise helped us both improve our form and get PRs in all three lifts. Soon after we started taking more strength and conditioning classes and the other instructors, Kelli and Doug, were so knowledgeable as they introduced us to kettlebell exercises and technique. I soon realized that the community at The Protocol is full of great, fun, and passionate people that enjoy training and getting stronger. I liked it there so much I became a coach as well.
I’ve been waiting to share my review until I really understood what The Protocol is all about. After 10 months of being a member, I can confidently say it’s unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Having been part of other group training gyms, I thought I knew what to expect—but I couldn’t have been more wrong. The Protocol is on a completely different level. Jerry and his trainers, Kelley and Walley, are the best in the business. They truly care—not just if you’re hurt, but also if you’re ready to push harder. Jerry has even come in early on his own time to work with me after setbacks. That kind of dedication is rare. The program itself is incredibly well thought out. Every day I walk in, there’s a clear plan, which makes it easy to stay consistent and keep progressing. The small class sizes mean you get the structure, support, and personal attention you need to succeed. If you’re looking for accountability, expert coaching, and a supportive community, The Protocol is exactly where you need to be.
