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

I have been going to this place since I was about 11 years old! So that is about 15 years...crazy!! Just like Nadia said... The village really is a way of life and a lifestyle...Now it is not cheap to be a member...but that is up to each individual that is willing to pay the monthly fee. I was a member before they did their huge renovation...there used to be a Garcias restaurant next door and that closed and they took over! Their spa is beautiful...their restaurant and bar area is a nice place to grab a bite and enjoy a glas... read more

The Village is not just a gym...it's a lifestyle. Like most have already said on here, the prices are more than other gyms in the area; but The Village is also so much more than other gyms in the area. I paid $500 to sign up and then pay around $140/month for my membership. Yes, this is a lot of money, but for me it is definitely worth it! I had signed up to the other gyms in the area at different times for $25-30/month, but I think I only went 2 times in the two years I was paying the memberships, so it was cheaper but not ... read more

I have been to practically every spa and salon in the valley searching for a great nail salon. My friend worked at the Village as a camp counselor and he suggested I check their salon out. I was sadly disappointed. When I originally called to make an appointment the receptionist was rather rushed and sounded inconvenienced by my call. I am an understanding person so I didn't really think much of it. My friend and I went in on the day of our appointment and were still asked to wait for about 20 minutes because the nail tech h... read more
