I went here to play tennis at night and thought it was great. Plenty of lit courts, water on court, they let you borrow tennis balls, and it's very clean. I didn't find some of the staff to be as friendly as another location, but whatever. I thought the layout was a little confusing as I had trouble finding the bathroom and there was no one around to offer me direction. However, they have several classes during the day, and plenty of amenities for anyone. It seemed like a lot of people there were only there to socialize in t... read more

this place is unbelievable. i have been a member for 5-6 years; i was out of the country and thought my membership was on a 6 month hold; the emptied my locker and instead of trying to contact me or send my items to my US address THEY THREW EVERYTHING AWAY!!!! i lost $1,200 worth of things and the GM of the Camelback office offers me a waived re-instate fee that is $300 and NOTHING else even though I was on a 6 month freeze. they threw my things out 4 weeks ago, i went in to find these facts out over 3 weeks ago, i waited pa... read more

Don't waste your money at this poor excuse for a health club. In it's day or maybe I should say under previous management, this was the place to go. Not so much anymore. Things are constantly breaking down and instead of acting quickly to fix things, management just sits on it or it seems they do. For what you have to pay, it definately is not worth it in my opinion. From what I hear the poor quality is specific to this club. Other Villages in the valley are supposedly nice and a huge improvement from this place. They need t... read more

First off, if you're interested in fitness, real, honest to god get-in-shape, look good naked, fitness, this place is not for you. If you are looking to markedly improve your cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, coordination, agility, balance, *and* accuracy, this place is not for you. Their free weights are stuffed in what some other fitness clubs would consider a closet. If you know what a clean and jerk is, and you go to this club, you're in The Village's 1%. Even the pool was a dis... read more

I am a member of all Village Clubs and when I can't make it to Gainey, I'll occasionally drop in here since I have the multi-club membership. This club is immaculate. Love that they have two restaurants, equipment is gorgeous/new and it's relatively Centrally located in Phoenix. IMHO I think there are a couple of minor issues to this club but I think it's probably due to my lack of experience here and I need to adjust to this particular locations specifics. The cardio area can become very busy and you might have to wait for ... read more

You think they would have some decent competition, and more higher end health clubs to choose from around the phoenix, biltmore, arcadia area, but apparently not, so everyone in phoenix seems to go here if you want a step up. I disprove of the layout a bit. The women rushed me to join because she said the discount to join may or may not be available the following week after my trial membership, great sales tactic, but this ticked me off because I hated being rushed to decide because the price "might" go up. For everyone comp... read more

I'm not sure writing a review is even worth it for The Village, because obviously it's amazing- but I go there so much, I feel I owe it to them to Yelp them :) My family (husband, 2kids) all frequent the Village 3/4 times a week. I have to be honest and say that sometimes I go there, send my kids off to the awesome kids club / X-Arcade and just go sit in the steam room, lay out by the pool and/or take a relaxing shower. But yes, sometimes I actually work out! I am a Yoga teacher and the Village is where I take most of my yog... read more

Very large facility, offering many different classes and machine to work on every part of your body. Spinning room is large airy and bikes in good shape. Probably the best so far as far as spinning in Phoenix. I didn't end up taking the yoga kept missing the class, so I took a strength class instead and it reminded me of gyms in the 80's. Not bad but not inspiring. No offense to the 80's either :-) The downside for me was you have to walk past an open basketball court, tends to be noisy. I also like smaller boutique studios,... read more

**This is a review for the Yoga level 2/3 class at the DC Ranch location** I wasn't sure what to expect when walking into the dimly lit studio at the gym. When I laid out my mat and started to stretch, I was in awe of the twinkle ceiling...giving the place a feeling of being outdoors on a warm summer night. (and it was warm in there... phew! While not Bikram, the room was toasty) This place is definitely fancy.... and the people are definitely GYM people. Debra, the yoga instructor was amazing. At first I was put off by the ... read more
