This place rocks! The people are friendly, the atmosphere is inviting, and it seems to just keep getting better! Smoothie & snack bar, 80+ classes offered every week, on-site personal training, rock wall, childcare (who does NOT bother you when your child needs a changing!!!!!!), and so much more. It's nice to see that they let local business in the door to set up and sell their products- candles, clothing, olive oils- all items that could be great gifts for someone and you don't have to make a trip to the store! It really s... read more

Mountainside has sent a letter saying that there is a going to be a annual charge of $25 in addition to monthly fees for every member on August 10th. I'm sure every business would love to do that, but how many would get away with it. I voted with my feet and said adios. The weather is going to get nicer soon so I'd rather be outside anyway. Smart move would have been to do this in May or June. We complained about the fee and quit. They waived it for us, but ended up paying double for September as they charged us for Septembe... read more

I have been a member for several years and have utilized Core Concepts training. Core Concepts is great, they have some good trainers at this location so they get 5 stars. What sucks is the gym and the management team continue to ignore complaints about shoddy equipment. So for grins after my work out on 8/16 I checked out all the ellipticals, treadmills, stationary bikes, stair climbers etc..Over 50% were in disrepair, ok whats does that mean? Heart rate monitors not working, torn up grips, broken handles, adjustments that ... read more

I don't have any complaints about this place. I used to be a member of LA fitness and this is a hell of a lot better than that. For the most part it is pretty clean, although I don't really consider gyms to be "clean". I love the fact that all of the ellipticals/treadmills/bikes have their own flat screen. Some of them don't have clear pictures but I am there to work out so it isn't a big deal to me.

Consistently a great club with warm staff, good patrons, and adequate parking. Included towel service is sweet too. Best part is it is a casual gym and not a singles club where people spend more time sitting on machines vs. working out.

I have been a Mountainside member for over ten years. I first joined because of the great group exercise classes and the easy going, very friendly staff. Well, ten years later, the staff is still great, but the classes are not. TBC--total body conditioning dominates the schedules at the Chandler and Gilbert clubs. No more hi/lo, no more step. TBC would be fine except the quality of the classes is not consistent and no one wants to do TBC seven days a week. The cardio section (when included) in most of the TBC classes is lau... read more

I have gone to many gyms. This is one is good but far from perfect. If I move homes I may not join Mtn again since they have no racquetball courts and charge the same as the LA Fitness's that do. The Good... Staff is very nice. The place is small, which I like. 1/4 mile from my house which is why I joined. - I was going to LA Fitness which was nicer, larger, and less expensive AND had racquetball courts which I used all the time. The Average... The snack/juice bar - it is just plain. They have nothing that makes anyone want ... read more

I've been a member here for about a year now and I am kind of surprise with the not so great reviews. I am fairly satisfied with this facility. It is well maintained, fairly clean and has friendly staff. I guess its an upgrade for me as I previously went to the darn awful ballys and before that, 24 hrs fitness. Though, I am sad that they took out one of my favorite cardio machines, the stepping machine! But they replaced the space with the "hiking" machines which I like also so its okay I guess. The only classes I've been to... read more

I'm still a member here, mostly because it's so close. I've been trying to keep my workout outside, but since it's getting so hot out I've had to head back inside. I went in around 11:30am on a Friday, and was bombarded with outside sales going on in the lobby. You want a scented candle? How about some jewelry? Try a new antioxidant drink? Geez! It made the entrance crowded and looked unprofessional. I'm guessing Mountainside gets a cut, otherwise I'm not sure why they would allow this. Luckily, the sales people associated... read more
