The staff is great. They are what makes this gym a second 'home' to me. The cost is great. They are loyal to their regular members and pretty much everyone knows you by name if they see you more than once a week. They have supplements on site and can order them at cost if you wish as well.
I went from Lifetime Fitness in Tempe paying $50+ a month with way too many amenities and I just needed the basics. Andy and Marquis are awesome trainers and I highly recommend them if you have it in your budget., They are ridiculously smart and helpful to those who want to better themselves and want to put in the HARD work. Also they are both bodybuilders themselves so you know how intense their personal workouts must be. When they see that you're dedicated, they always offer free tips, workouts, or advice.
The weekend hours are a bit funky I'll admit but I have a gym at my apartment I can work at when Fit Zone is closed so it doesn't bother me as much as some people who like to complain.
There is no real bench press machine which is a bummer but that's probably the only thing I really could find wrong with the equipment. Everyone is very friendly overall and I may never switch gyms while I'm living in the Tempe area because of this.
Also to the person complaining about the membership fee... what did you expect? It's a gym. Find me a gym that doesn't have one, oh wait- you can't because this is the real world. :)
