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

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
