UPDATE- see photo above. The inside of the gym is in the 80's now during the summer. It's downright negligent considering the majority of the clients are senior citizens. The owners haven't fixed or replaced the AC despite many complaints. Instead, they added lockboxes to the thermostats. Unreal!
So it's been almost a year from my last review, and unfortunately, the condition of the Mesa club have not improved. I go to the Gilbert and Chandler clubs occasionally, and it's so frustrating to see their equipment and TVs receive updates and improvements while Mesa continues to deteriorate.
And now, the most maddening of all-- They are charging $10 extra a month if you want to take RPM (group cycle/spin) classes! They claim it's to keep up with the maintenance of the bikes. First of all, based on the condition of the club, we know that's not true. Secondly, since when does a business pass on their overhead costs to a small population of their clients rather than the entire customer base?! It makes no sense. I don't know of any other local clubs that charge for RPM. It would be better to increase revenue by simply increasing their membership dues rather than alienating clients who like a popular class.
