Okay. So I am in my 50s. Been working out for years and my wife trains with an exceptional and…read moreknowledgeable trainier. However, her personal trainer is tired of the corporate issues at our current gym and said he is going to leave to do instructional training at "The Gym" Never heard of it... other than saying I'm going to the gym... lowercase. My wife and I discussed the situation. Do we stay at our current and work with the second best trainer or follow the best trainer.... After our workout this past Monday we decided to do a tour at THE GYM. We walked in and were greated nicely enough. They were a little apprehensive at first but seemed okay. We walked around a bit. We were impressed with the amount of equipment and so much less USELESS FLUFF like other gyms. This place is all about working out. This is awesome. Great. Sooo. my issue that I noticed is the lighting is WAY TOO DIM for proper safety and effectively seeing the function of each piece of equipment let alone seeing your form while using them. Some areas along what I think is the East wall were pitch black. My eyes were not aclimating to their "ambience". I understand the whole shadow and contrast of seeing muscle definition and people not wanting to be on "display" while working out but this lack of lighting is definately not helpful if you need a flashlight to see! At least when we were there, the music wasn't blarring like so many others had complained about, because if my wife can't hear her instructor, we will not be switching. Now if only the lighting would be addressed..... I would give 5 stars.

You won't see people sitting on a machine for an hour on their phones not doing even one set. You won't see people leaning against a machine talking for an hr and not working out. Its a serious Gym for Serious people,..not a Happy Hour. I needed a Gym to do my workout quick and go home. The enviroment is very family oriented, very respectful. People come to the Gym to workout. Laura, Hailey and Anthony are all very nice and everyone is super helpful. I've stopped in with my Dog to say hello on the days I'm not working out and, my Dog loves Laura and Haley. Serious Gym, serious people,..you can actually get a good workout here. Perfect.

I recently joined Mountainside Fitness and expected a time consuming sign up process with extensive…read moresales pitches to try to get me to sign up for more of a membership than I needed or could afford. I was pleasantly surprised when Bailee streamlined the process without any pressure. She also offered me free trials of membership benefits like the red light therapy and the brand new cold plunge! Bailee was so friendly and helpful in assisting me in deciding on how to proceed with my membership choices in a non committal way like I wanted. Another gentleman (I think his name was Brad) gave us a tour and was very respectful of the limited amount of time I had to spend on the tour. A great part about Mountainside fitness is that they allow 12-year-olds to join so that means my daughter can come with me! I could not find another gym in the area that allows children under 13 to attend so I was really pleased at this privilege. I also liked that all the memberships allow you to go to any location.! I'm really grateful that Bailee was there to help, being that she was so knowledgeable on the membership options and perks! P.s. I love the cold plunge!

When I moved to Phoenix in January, after getting settled in, I became a member of Mountainside…read moreFitness. While living in Houston previously, I was a long-time member of 24 Hour Fitness. To my surprise, there aren't any 24 Hour Fitness locations in Phoenix. So, I needed to make a switch. Mountainside has quite a few locations around town. The closest one to my place is the Desert Ridge location. So, that's where I typically go to. But I was feeling frisky and decided to try out the Paradise Valley location on a Monday around 5:30 p.m. The parking lot was almost full, but I was able to snag one of the last available spots. Something to keep in mind at peak times. The layout and size of this gym is almost identical to the Desert Ridge location. Which is a good think. The gym, locker room, and bathrooms are clean. There's a good selection of equipment and it's well maintained. There's a half basketball court, dry sauna, and steam room. There are a decent number of TVs (though they could be bigger). There are exercise classes. All in all, for the bang for your buck, I haven't seen any other gym (ever) that provides better value. You also get complimentary towels with your visit. Forgot to mention that. Mountainside Fitness does everything I look for in a gym at a high level. There's a reason most gyms have overall ratings on Yelp of less than 4 stars. Mountainside Fitness gyms tend to be above 4 stars. That speaks volumes.

in august 27th, 2024 i had knee replacement surgery. after i completed physical therapy at osr,…read more per my orthopedic surgeon, i signed up for additional physical therapy at vasa.with an employee named brandon, for what i was told was a 4 month period only. the pt was scheduled with a physical therapist, also named brandon, at vasa fitness located on the swc of 32nd street and thunderbird road. the time frame was significant because i was scheduled for my second knee replacement in january 28th, 2025. therefore, i would be unable to continue physical therapy, until recovery to the point of complettion of the orthopedic surgeon's recommended physical therapy required at osr; and then i would probably re-sign if i couldn't continue on my own with what i had learned after the second recovery period. our conversation was important, because he (brandon, sales) knew that i lost my job that october of 2024 due to timing at work and had no income. the printer at the gym didn't work that day, so i couldn't get a copy of the contract we agreed to. he told me he would e-mail it to me. he never did. i asked for it more than once. at the time of contract, i told him the printed copy was important and he promised that he would e-mail it. ultimately, i never received the copy. i had vascular complications and had to go to arizona pain to continue medication to sleep. i am still under a few doctor's care at iya medical for procedures to help with the vascular issues. subsequently, i had the vasa finance department withdraw two payments of $320 or $340 each month out of my account. i believe, prior, that i made a few $80 or $160 (every two week payments), in good faith, as i tried to resolve the financial issue or misunderstanding. i spoke to brandon, sales about what was happening, after payments were made; which, in my view, incorrectly so and asked for the payments to be refunded. he told me it was too late he couldn't do anything about the contract. yet, he saw the surgical scar on my left leg and knew i was on oxycodon... he knew i did not want more than the 4 months treatment contracted for at the time i signed the contract and he assured me there was no problem. i love that gym and was so disappointed. i knew by the look on his face when i told him that he committed fraud and that i would turn him in, he knew and didn't care, which is why i never received a copy of the contract. i told him i was going to turn him in and tried at the time. i live alone and had no help... (it was just too much, until today with this e-mail. i am still very emotional and feel somewhat defeated overall). this was not suppose to happen. i was to remain grateful for my efforts at recovery and the gym that i love. i am disappointed and sad about the lack of integrity of brandon, sales. loved the gym hated the dishonesty of the sales associate brandon.

VASA ENDORSES HARASSMENT I canceled my membership at the…read moreVasa location at Ray & Alma School because I was harassed by an older man while working with my personal trainer. He became angry because I was using a machine "too long" during my workout (20 min for 4 sets on hip thrust, 2 other machines were available). This man followed me around the gym for the rest of my hour-long training session staring at me attempting to intimidate me. I reported this unacceptable behavior to gym management, and they endorsed his actions. My trainer was written up for allowing me to use the equipment "too long", and the individual who harassed me is still allowed to use the facilities. I no longer feel safe working out at Vasa, and I am outraged that no action was taken to address my concerns. This is not a safe place for women to work out.

They just immediately cancelled my membership and waived the 30 day notice fee, after I gave them the thief's first and last name ( they were dumb enough to buy an airline ticket using one of the two cards they stole).

I didn't hear back so on MONDAY I called to find out Kamery had NO idea of the situation. Odd. It almost seems like it was an employee of the club. Of course, the police have bigger fish to fry and lifetime does not stand behind their members safety although they will gladly charge you $300+ a month. Do not come here, do not bring your wallets, do not bring your bags. Honestly I wouldn't even bring my children...
