| - This gym may spoil you for all the other fitness chains in the valley. I have to say I love this place and I don't say that often. Let me count the ways: Towel service. Clubs for jogging, cycling, tennis, probably some others I didn't even get into. Plenty of machines. TV's that aren't ALL tuned to ESPN. Wireless cafe.
My point is they go out of their way to make you feel like you're part of a community. It's expensive, but you get so much more with your money that it's worth upgrading. It's only about half what you'd pay for cable and way healthier. I know others have said that it feels more like a spa or a country club. I agree. I could easily see myself just hanging out here in between workouts, getting a snack, and then going for a swim or yoga class or hey a haircut if you feel like it. I never used a sauna or steam bath before visiting this gym, but I fell in love with using them here. Then I saw the same amenities at other gyms and found out that the ones at LT are much nicer.
The worst thing they did was double book me for a training appointment and then the trainer never called back to reschedule after taking my number and promising a callback time. Not pleased about that but nobody's perfect (although I'm pretty sure that if I was an attractive lady I would have gotten a call back, judging from the customers that this particular trainer did manage to find time for).
The only reason I would look anywhere else is how far south this location is. Traversing from central Phoenix after work requires at least 3 merges onto rush hour traffic. The way people drive here makes this a very risky proposition to life, limb, and vehicle. Maybe once I get a monster truck I can finally fit in with the cool kids of Tempe and get some respect on the roads. Until then I'm going to have to find a gym closer to me, or else a job closer to this gym. For those who don't have near death experiences in traffic though, I don't think you can do better than this place.
