Ever since I heard how Jake Gyllenhaal got ripped, I've been visiting Mountainside for more than just a fantastic high pressured shower... which I do stop by at least once a day for. Can you imagine how much $$$ I'm saving by not having to buy Axe body wash... or launder my own towels? Anyway, word on the street is, that Jake spent hours in the gym, racking up 2000 sit-ups on any given day, prepping for his part in Southpaw. I understand no one is waving $20mil in my face for a leading role, but I'd like to have a toner core... read more

This place is fantastic for families. The child care will watch young children (which is hard to find). They also have drop in child care if you need to run errands off site for a very reasonable price. Dinner nights and parent nights are also scheduled regularly and affordable. The gym amenities are also great. All of the equipment is in good shape. Plus, the classes are nice. I highly recommend this gym.

I frequent the Scottsdale Pavilion location usually, but occasionally visit this location because my girlfriend lives in Chandler. I give it a 3 star based off the equipment. The dumbbells are always loose and spinning and The machines are outdated. The multi station body masters in the middle of the gym is a terrible manufacturer and the weights seem to stick a bit. I have been to the Scottsdale location on 116th along with Gilbert too. All the gyms have much nicer equipment than the Chandler location. Everyone is always ni... read more

The thing I love the most about this gym is the childcare. All the caregivers are friendly. They remember my kids' names and my name. The close circuit TVs really put my mind at ease as a first time mom, sneaking a peek into the kids place. I love the classes, especially yoga instructors are wonderful. They have a new Yoga studio as well that is serene. I noticed that many of the reviews here are older, and I feel that it should be mentioned that the gym was renovated in 2013. Things work well and look sleeker after the upgr... read more

I have now been working out at this gym for about 3 months, and I am very glad I joined. The biggest indication that it was a good decision: I actually go to the gym regularly! I'm a big fan of the cardio machines with the little TVs. Half an hour on the elliptical goes by in no time when I'm watching HGTV! I'm learning to like (and to use) the selection of free weights, mats and equipment. If you're like me and feel a little self conscious working out in the presence of really buff, knowledgeable gym folks, rest assured th... read more

I had a scheduling conflict, and they were able to cancel my membership in an agreeable time frame.

The Top 3 Reasons that made me quit my two other gyms and join Mountainside: 1. Towel Service - this may seem petty, but ain't nobody got time to carry around a damp towel in their car all day. For early morning exercisers, this is a big step up from most other gyms. Full bath towels and small exercise towels available for every visit. 2. Workout Equipment - a large assortment of free weights, sophisticated machines, kettlebells, foam rollers and the TRX system with racks. You'll find dedicated spin class and yoga rooms, and... read more

The gym facility is nice, they have all the machines you want! They could use more squat racks though. Pretty crowded because of the small space and lots of machines. Only gym we find where the free weights go to 100lbs which is a necessity for a lit off guys. Seems to have a good control on the temperature. The place is great, staff is fairly nice. I've heard the main trainers talking bad about clients or just calling guys "scum bags" for carrying around gallon jugs. So the temperament of certain individuals clients, member... read more

a. When one of the equipment break it takes months for these guys to fix it. b. The contracts are very open ended. This facility has become notorious for charging enhancement fees when there is no enhancement to show. This seem to be a trend of people who are stuck with long term contract with these guys. c. Equipment looks very old..The only worser facility than this is the 24 hour fitness in walmart complex on AZ avenue. d. I dont agree with a comment below that 50% of equipment doesnt work..Some dont work but not to that ... read more
