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

I have been going to the "gym" for a long time. I have been a member at several gyms here in the valley and so I feel I can give an informed opinion. This is one of the worst gyms I have been a member of. I do not mind the family oriented gym too much, but the issue here is that kids were constantly under foot. I have been to gyms with day care centers before. Usually kids remain in that area. Maybe it was because I worked out in the afternoon, but kids were always running amok. The employees also don't seem to care much eit... read more

I would find another gym if I were you. It's always crowded so the machines are always full with the free weight section being the worst. The equiptment is old and the place is filthy! No one ever wipes down their station and I've NEVER seen anyone from mountainside do it either. The constantly run out of towels, especially if you get there after 6 and it's not a surprise to have your favorite cardio machine out of order which will remain that way for weeks before it gets fixed. If you like Yoga (no the gentle kind) then the... read more

I started going here for the yoga classes as I couldn't find a yoga studo with child care. My kids enjoy their time in the child care here and you can watch them on the TV monitors. Kids can also do the rock wall with or without you and there are a couple of kids classes. I was injured on a bike a while back and came here after doing PT. I've done various yoga classes here and cycle. The cycle teachers are all good. I love Trish's classes because she plays Latin music! I've also worked with one of the trainers- Monty. He's e... read more
