Updated review:
The ASU side of the Y is open now, Y members can use the ASU side and can attend certain classes as well. The ASU students are not supposed to be attending Y classes but they do and no one regulates so why would they stop?
Parking is better now that construction is over- but no more covered spaces! the parking lot is allegedly patrolled but certain cars (aka old, ghetto, gold Nissan Altima) park in illegal parking spaces every weekday from 5pm and 6pm and I have never seen them receive a ticket (or park in a legal parking space like everyone else).
The front desk is still subpar and lackluster. I get it- your job is lame and that's too bad, but you chose to work in customer service. If you don't like it, go work somewhere else. I usually walk in without anyone acknowledging me and I leave the same way- this is excellent for retaining members (note my excessive sarcasm here).
The group exercise classes could certainly be improved but don't wait around for that - the group fitness director doesn't seem to care what members like... She recently hired an instructor to teach kickboxing during a very busy time- and the instructor has never taught kickboxing before. The class is terrible- skip it- stick with RIPPED on Mondays with Jaime. This is by far the best group ex class the Y offers.
Do indulge in personal training with Eric- you won't regret the investment in yourself!!
The only reasons I continue spending $45/month for a Y membership is because of Jaime and Eric. The $19/month at Gold's Gym is looking better and better each day...
