El Gancho Fitness Swim Club

I had lunch at the Bourbon Grill. The fried avocado was delicious.

Had an appointment for tennis lessons that I made directly with Joey. I drove 45 minutes only to arrive and have them tell me Joey was on vacation. They took my number and said he would call me back, but it’s been over a week later and I still haven’t heard from him. Glad I didn’t end up paying $85/hour for someone who clearly doesn’t care about their clients. The club was small and seemed old, not the nicest environment for the price.

Me and my family fully enjoyed our visit to El Gancho. Not only was the staff very polite and accommodating to my family's needs, the guests there were very kind and friendly. The facility appeared very clean and the Sunday crowd was not too big, with a family friendly atmosphere.

Great all around club. Fitness, swim, tennis and racket. Hidden outdoor basketball in the back. Knocking off a star as it sadly falls victim to the over abundance of cardio machines in the gym. Over 1/2 the floor space is cardio and what suffers the most is free weights in the back. The space for dumbells and benches has become pushed so far back and so cramped that frankly it would be dangerous when the place is very busy.

With Covid they are charging their members full price when only their gym is open and minimum capacity. On top of that you can put your account on hold for a $75 re-activation fee! We do not feel comfortable going to a gym as it’s been proven that they are the dirtiest places to be with or without Covid!

When i was last there a few years ago...all the amenities, few of the amenities updated. Much in disrepair. Maybe the waki sabi was shabby chic. The dry sauna and salt pool were best.

I went to the restaurant not El gancho. The restaurant here is very good, we go there often. They have good gluten-free buns for their burgers that are great.

Really liked their exercise room. Wanted to like everything as people seemed very friendly and welcoming mostly. Women warned me about how your bathing suit turns white after a period of time. They weren't joking because I got chlorine rash on my arms and excessive itching on my legs. Let staff know and they were nice and thanked me for letting them know about my reaction. Hope this helps. Sauna was nice. Shower not as clean as I would like. Wish I brought flip flops.

It’s great that this place is been open for so long. I hope they still have great racquetball courts, I have not tried the restaurant recently but I heard it went out of business in open again. I went to Harry’s roadhouse next-door to it, but it was very overpriced and no one told me what they were known for. I had an incredibly average burger.

Super cool place but for the price I would have to give it four stars. I would love to be able to afford to work out here.I like that it has a steam room and the swimming pool. The view is just spectacular from up on the hill and I'm always mesmerized by the beautiful Santa Fe sunsets from El Gancho.
