| - I have to say I'm pretty happy with my new Y membership. I joined three weeks ago and have been several times a week since.
Facility: Top of the line equipment, and lots of it. I'm not really a gym person, but I found the machines (treadmills, ellipticals, stairclimbers, bikes, etc) to be in abundance and easy to figure out how to use. None of it is broken or wonky and there are no "old machines" to get stuck with. The weight machines are actually digital, so if you sign up for the work out program (I totally recommend if you're like me and not so gym savvy) they take you around to set up each machine to your specific needs. So all you do is tap your ID into the display and it pulls up seat settings, weight you should be doing and amount of reps. Very handy and helpful.
Pool is heated in winter and shaded in summer. Haven't tried it yet, but looks clean, big and will be a god send this summer. There are also racquet ball courts (3, I think), another weight room for classes, a large studio for big aerobics classes and a small room for small classes.
Ladies locker room is OK. There are a lot of kids running around, so there are always puddles of water and a general messiness about, but it's nothing that's totally grossed me out...yet. I've never showered here and I don't think I would.
Atmosphere: Very friendly, from the staff to clientele. I've been complimented on everything from my shoes, to my gym bag to my tattoos - that's never happened at other gyms. There are kids, LOTS of kids. Some are in high school and there for programs, but some are younger and apparently just there to run up and down the halls. The staff mostly keeps them in line though, and for as intolerant I typically am of children, I've been yet to be really bummed out by their presence. The classes are a big range of people, ages and body types. I think that's a good thing.
Classes/Services: This was why I joined. There are a lot of classes at this branch. So far I've done yoga (beginner and intermediate) and cardio box and I've been satisfied. They also have the usual stuff: Zumba, Jazzercise, Cycle, Burn, Water Aerobics, etc., as well as running groups you can sign up for. Massage services are offered for $40 for members.
Kids workout classes, day care is available.
Overall: It works well for me. I like that I can go to any Y (I work downtown but live in Tempe, so that is GREAT). It's $31/mo and that's totally reasonable for me. The atmosphere and clientele is low key, family types that are there to better themselves, not show off or pick up on each other, so that suits me as well.
