I joined this gym after leaving Lifetime Fitness because it was too expensive. But I've realized that Mountainside is just as expensive as Lifetime, just closer to my hose and without a pool. I think the monthly fee for just me is $40 and then I also pay $25 a month for unlimited childcare.
But I must say that I've liked the gym. It has everything I need. It's rarely too busy, which I like. The child care center is nice and I like that you can watch the kids on the TV's that are all around the gym and on every single cardio machine. I love that each machine has its own tv! It makes doing cardio so much easier when I can watch and listen to whatever I choose.
I don't like that you have to bring a lock. It is just annoying when I forget it. I also don't like that bathroom area. There are no towels in there.
