I have been going here just about 1 year. I go solely for the group fitness classes. Once I found the combinations of classes and teachers that I enjoyed I have been able to tailor my perfect workout. I take Power Yoga with Sara. She is a wonderful Yoga teacher and does a good job balancing a challenging power class but with options for more novice practitioners. My husband keeps his membership solely for this class as he feels its a nice way to end the week. I also take Barre Sculpt with Paula. She has a very fun class working multiple muscle groups at a time and with small powerful movements for developing long lean muscle. She is always challenging us "not to waste our time" and I feel I can get more tone in this class with little or no weight than lifting heavy weights in the gym. Lastly, I take Zumba with Dani (though I have also taken classes with I-Ven and really enjoy him too his times just don't work with my schedule). Dani is very fun and up beat. I use this dance class as my cardio time and have a great time dancing routines to Latin music as well as other singers like Bruno Mars and Dua Lipa.

Decent gym and staff are friendly, but cancelling is way too tricky. To cancel out of state, you need to mail a certified letter as if it's the 1990s.Very poorly designed system (for customers at least, probably a good way to squeeze more money from customers) and powerless "my hands are tied" managers.

Love, love, love this gym! Have a fabulous trainer, Tim, who has helped me to lose 20 pounds...he is the best if you are looking for a trainer who knows how to train! The classes are great too...on to 20 more to lose! Could not have done it without Tim.

Still getting charged over a year after cancelling....I have called corporate several times. I sent letters requesting my account be cancelled. I have been told I would no longer be charged only to keep getting charges. All this is AFTER I cancelled my membership when I moved from PHX 14 months ago. Apparently the only way is to cancel in the gym (which I already did) but I cannot do this since I moved out of state. I have been charged HUNDREDS of dollars that I do not owe and wasted many hours trying to resolve this. I even blocked them through my bank from charging me but after the payment doesn't go through they use a different billing name to get around my banks block. I have never written a negative google review before....This is simply the worst experience I have ever had with a business and I have no idea how to make it stop.

This location - Indian Bend, is terrific! Clean, fresh equipment and the company is constantly remodeling to make the place more user-friendly. I love the new massage chairs and that the towels are always in stock in the lady's locker room. I train with Kaley, and she's incredible at being personal and ensuring that I get a new workout each time I work with her.Also, Charlie is my favorite yoga instructor. She's very skilled and upbeat! She makes sure that her sequences are varied and exciting in each class.Remember that this company was one of the few that stood up to the tyranny of the Arizona "government" who tried to shut down exercise and fitness as an excuse to "protect our health" over the last few years. Bravo Mountainside, keep standing up to the bullies!

Not only do I love working out at Mountainside I love the fact my kids love playing in the child care. I can go to classes or or hit some weights with ease knowing they are in great care. Alexia the manager at the pavilions is amazing and I look forward to seeing her. The child care is nice, clean and welcoming. It's a win for everyone

This location is always busy with long wait times for any machines. There is zero enforcement of COVID protocols with most members not wearing masks in my experience.They charge a ton of hidden fees, make it impossible to cancel and have poor communication, never picking up the phone. Watch what you are actually charge, as they charged me higher than the monthly price on multiple occasions.You can find a better, safer gym.

The overall experience at Mountainside Fitness is amazing. The facility is spotless and the staff goes out of their way to make the guests feel welcome. Zenas and Ann just made my day with their outstanding service. I highly recommend joining Mountainside Fitness!!

I’ve been a member at many different gym brands and Mountainside Fitness is at the top of the list for quality. The Scottsdale location is always clean, the staff is always happy and willing to help, and Ann is a great manager! I would definitely recommend this facility to anybody !
