7 months after canceling my membership, I just learned that they been pulling money from my bank account for all these month every month. Reason for the error: They changed to a "new system" which defaulted to reinstating old memberships. What ? Sounds shady and criminal to me. Is anyone in upper management correcting this , or just waiting until people contact them? Wonder how many dozens /hundreds of people are falling victim to this criminal business practice? What kind of "new computer system" REINSTATES A CANCELLED MEMB... read more

The facility is nice and clean but they are unscrupulous and play extraordinarily loud music so that guests can't hear their own audio choices. I paid membership dues for a year on a month to month basis but rarely used the club because on about 75% of my visits the staff had unpleasant music blasting. There were some days it wasn't so loud and was bearable so I kept paying for 6 months. Then I decided to cancel. Several months later I discovered they were still charging me. I went back in a second time at the end of May to ... read more

I've been a member here for several years now. This gym is always a mess. I've spoken with management about it several times and the promise is that "we will" but they never do. If there were an LA fitness or EOS up here, I certainly wouldn't continue my membership here.

I have been a gym rat my entire life and joined Mountainside in the spring. Love working out with Personal Trainer Tomas. He is very motivating and pushes me WAY more than I would ever push myself. Tomas also listens to my wants/needs (due to various aches and pains) & was willing to train out-side for 2 months due to CV concerns. I am always challenged and never bored - I like circuit training and he uses a wide variety of equipment (weights, medicine ball, sandbag, ropes, sled,) and incorporates boxing and kick-boxing w... read more

I hired Mountainside personal trainer, Tomas Dobre, for 2X/week training sessions. I highly recommend his expertise. He's incredibly motivating and passionate about health, wellness and tailoring goals to meet your individual fitness needs and requirements. He's encouraging, positive and engaging to talk to. When I haven't felt like working out he sends me positive messages and lifts my spirits when I feel low. I truly appreciate his knowledge and attention to detail. I also value his compassionate and kind nature. You won't... read more

This is my second go round with Mountainside. Years ago, I had a great personal trainer, but he eventually left. Could never find that rhythm again and ended up leaving. Fast forward another kid and life I end up back at the Arrowhead location. Finding my rhythm again, and have the most amazing trainer. Payton has been incredibly patient and encouraging through everything. She's dedicated, pushes me, and even during Covid shut down and my own medical issues would check in to make sure I was good. I enjoy working out with her... read more

The gym itself is mostly okay. Biggest complaint about equipment is I've seen 2.5 lb plates once or twice, but they're almost never there. Definitely something missing, you don't always want to increase your lifts 10 lbs at a time. It's not super crowded, and the location is relatively convenient. When I did the week trial, I got a lot of pressure in the club to sign up for long-term contracts. So I signed up online. And a few months after sign-up, my bill was $25 more expensive. Turns out it's an annual fee. Nowhere on the ... read more

I thought I saw the love of my life last night, I realized it was just a distraction and quickly got back on track. I sorta miss this place, met some really good people here before, may be time for a deep clean tho. Haven't had a membership in years, I usually sign up depending on the level of ease, time and manners of staff to get a pump in, luckily I was not "waiting" for over 10min. No 5 day pass tho, it's always a runaround this and that, this time something about getting in trouble and they'll know or they're watching. ... read more

I'd like to say that the staff here are extraordinary people. Today I witnessed a man at the front desk who was not a member and who was acting unusual to say the least. I recognized the man immediately because he is a distinct elderly homeless vet that comes into the ER as a patient often. He has many health issues involving psychiatric mental health illness. The staff was kind, patient and extremely Human to this man. Kara's poise and professionalism really represented what Good people do and especially why I will always b... read more
