| - I've been going on and off to Mountainside Fitness for about 5 years now. The main reason I still have a membership is because they are the only gym in the Shea/FLW area, which is close to where I live.
I *HATE* coming here during the day. The gymgoers and staff seem to be so rude. Honestly, the general attitude of the place is typical Scottsdale. I feel so self conscious in this gym because it seems like people care more about what they look like than actually being healthy. I'll be sweating my butt off on the StairMaster and people just stare. Like, this is a gym...where you SWEAT... I'm kicking my ass, do you mind? To avoid these issues, I come at night. The staff at night is very friendly and nice and not at ALL like the staff during the day. Also, I prefer not having to fight with barbies for the cardio equipment.
I'm pretty upset that they took away the Nordic treadmills even though they were pretty ancient. However, I'm glad they kept the StairMasters and added some new arc trainers recently. This gym has pretty much any equipment you would imagine for a gym to have, and they offer a lot of different classes (I've only taken spin here).
I like Mountainside Fitness because it is close, relatively inexpensive and flexible, and suits my fitness needs. It's definitely not the best gym, though.
