| - Another great YMCA location.
A little more spacious fitness center than Tempe and Ahwatukee YMCA, plenty of cardio equipment.
As is standard in these gyms, only one squat rack. You'll find the battling ropes, ViPR and the TRX stuff for those fitness gadget junkies out there.
My favorite thing about this place? The group fitness classes! Best out of all the locations I've been to.
First of all, can we talk about their dance studio? It's HUGE! If you think Ahwatukee's is nice, please let Chandler-Gilbert change your mind. It would be perfect for a Zumbathon.
Speaking of which, Erika Ojeda's 5:45 Friday night ZUMBA class is what kept me coming back. Erika is my all-time favorite Zumba instructor, and I'm SAD she's no longer teaching this class (she's expecting a little one, AWW)!
However, I've done several classes with Kim and she's one badass instructor. Keeps everything high energy, so WELCOME, Miss Kim! Look forward to your class. :)
If glorified dance parties aren't your thing, maybe Cycle will be. Cecelia teaches a high intensity class! Haven't been in a while, but always had a lot of fun with this one.
Really wish this location would bring back Cecelia's Express Cycle class. 30 minutes instead of an hour, PERFECT for your lunch break. Only twice a week, gets you out of the office and off your lazy bum.
Keep up the awesome work, Chandler Gilbert team!
